Manga Volumes 1-3 available now!

※Please note: The content differs slightly between the web novel and light novel versions.

Volume 3, in particular, which corresponds to Chapter 3 of the web novel, has undergone significant changes. The word count has increased considerably, Yoshio's actions have changed, as has the story's progression. Furthermore, in the light novel version, he visits "that company" and spends some time there.

Yoshio, a shut-in NEET in his thirties, receives an anonymous package. Inside is a game disc titled 'The Village of Fate'. Assuming it's a game he won in a lottery, one of his hobbies, he casually downloads it, only to start a game with stunning CG that looks indistinguishable from live-action.

He's initially perplexed by the villagers, who are all high-performance AIs behaving exactly like humans, but he soon gets hooked on the game. In this game, Yoshio becomes a god of fate, tasked with guiding the villagers. However, all he can do in the game is issue one "oracle" (a command) per day, and activate miraculous powers by converting the villagers' gratitude into points.

Torn between his revered, god-like persona in the game and his pathetic self in reality, he struggles with this disparity. Sometimes saving the villagers, sometimes being inspired by them, Yoshio's real-world life gradually takes a turn for the better.
