Iwamoto Kenichi

In this world, the concept of levels exist. Other than those who live off defeating monsters, most people are only around Level 1 to 5. What's more, not just anyone can go out to hunt monsters; it's heavily influenced by one's role appointed by God. There are eight such eligible roles: warriors, fighters, clerics, magicians, rogues, merchants, hunters, and sorcerers. Those blessed with extraordinary power are divided into three types: royalty, heroes, and sages. But for the majority of the population, they have no such powers and live by farming or running shops. Towns are developed by those with the weakest role: villagers. For the powerless villagers going out to hunt monsters is equivalent to committing suicide. But one day, a certain two-year-old child given the role of villager notices something: once you defeat a monster... you can earn great wealth.

The “Kojiki”, which was written about 1300 years ago, is Japan's oldest history chronicle. Written to legitimize the idea of the Emperor's divine descent it contains Japanese myths and historical legends. This manga mainly covers the tales of deities from the first volume, which tells the stories from the creation of heaven and earth to the birth of the legendary founding Emperor of Japan, Jinmu, as well as the legend of Yamato Takeru No Mikoto, which is originally included in the second volume.
