Mirai Kakehashi is a young student fed up with a life of abuse from his uncle and aunt who raised him since his parents’ death but is saved by a Guardian Angel called Nasse after attempting to commit suicide. Upon learning from Nasse that his foster parents were responsible for the deaths of his father and mother, Mirai uses the powers she bestowed on him in order to confront them and enact justice.
However, Mirai’s ordeals are just beginning as Nasse soon after informs him that God will retire in 999 days and thirteen candidates to replace him were selected including Mirai himself.
