Plot
A Japanese teenager is killed by a thug and reincarnates in an alternate, fantasy-like world as Cain Von Silford, the third son of the noble Von Silford family thanks to the intervention of the seven gods residing there. Accepting the task from the gods of helping improve their world with the knowledge from his past life, Cain is appointed as their Apostle and receives powerful blessings from them, unaware that his true mission is to protect the world from a forgotten, evil deity who is about to awake. After defeating the first form of the god, he goes on to live his life. However, he is given a lot of trouble from the Duke/Marquis Corgino (Duke in manga, Marquis in anime).
Characters
Cain von Silford (カイン・フォン・シルフォード, Kain fon Shirufōdo)
Voiced by: Yoshino Nanjō (Japanese); Trina Nishimura (English)
A Japanese teenager named Shiinya Kazuya who was killed by a thug and reincarnated in another world as the son of a lord in the Esfort Kingdom. Blessed with the power of all 7 gods, Cain quickly grows far stronger than any other human, using the power at his disposal to protect the innocents and punish evildoers, which soon brings the attention of the king, who arranges him to be engaged with his daughter, Telestia and her close friend Silk; this goes against Cain's wishes, as he loathes noble etiquette, but he soon warms up to them. His actions sometimes do more harm than good, leading him to be constantly lectured by others. Through the course of the series, Cain grows stronger while earning titles and achievements, with other girls also becoming engaged with him (five so far), as he prepares himself to fight an evil god who is about to awake after being sealed away centuries ago.
According the gods, Cain's poor judgement got him killed for nothing; his killer would have been stopped before hurting anyone, but Cain needlessly shielded others, which earned him the gods' blessings.
