Shōgo Taguchi, a Japanese middle school student, is thrust into a foreign realm alongside classmates Ryota Sekiguchi and Alice Rondo after the Eastern Empire forcibly summons them as pawns for military exploitation. Branded by codenames "Kōta," "Ginji," and "Mii," their unique abilities are weaponized under duress—Shōgo’s Psychokinesis enabling telekinetic control to serve the Empire’s strategic agendas.
Scarred by the violent summoning and subsequent conditioning, the trio endures psychological manipulation and grueling physical training, clinging to camaraderie amid pervasive distrust of authority. Their bleak existence shifts when Rimuru Tempest disrupts the Empire’s grip, liberating them to seek sanctuary in Tempest Nation.
Within Tempest’s nurturing environment, Shōgo slowly mends his fractured psyche while refining his Psychokinesis through disciplined practice. Enhanced precision and scale in manipulating objects bolster collaborative tactics with Ryota and Alice. Immersion in Tempest’s society sparks personal growth as he engages in community projects and forges bonds with allies like Gobta, whose mentorship sharpens his combat instincts and survival acumen.
Post-war, Shōgo channels his abilities into safeguarding Tempest and rebuilding its infrastructure, transitioning from exploited asset to proactive protector. His journey underscores resilience, balancing hard-won autonomy with echoes of past trauma. Encounters with other summoned individuals mirror collective adversities, contrasting shared resilience with divergent healing paths—each interaction deepening his understanding of survival and belonging in this reclaimed life.
