Synopsis
There was an urban legend that there was a legendary, undefeated gamer called 『　　』, but in reality 『　　』 was just a NEET brother and sister named 空 (Sora) and 白 (Shiro). These hikikomori siblings, who both refer to the real world as a worthless "Kuso Game" (shit game), are one day summoned to a different world by a boy calling himself "God". In this world, war is prohibited by God and everything is instead decided by games...that's right, even country borders. Can the two NEET brother and sister save the last of the human race, Imanity, which only has one city left?
