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" 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 a game...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?
