At birth, the Goddess of Light gives us a job while the Goddess of Darkness grants us skills. Skills can be honed, but jobs are pretty much hereditary and cannot be changed. Ein is a member of the Low Common Class, and a miserable appraiser who gets no thanks and little reward from his High Common Class employers. After being thrown under the bus in order to distract a pack of Hellhounds, Ein finds himself faced with a choice between being devoured or leaping to his death from a cliff within a dungeon. He chooses the latter option, but somehow finds himself not just alive but healed of his injuries and in the presence of the mythical 'World Tree'.

(One episode watched):

The premise of this show reminded me of Solo Leveling. It gets pretty ugly and violent, as Ein is somehow revived and healed after being mauled by Hellhounds and attempting to commit suicide. It seemed more complex and sophisticated than most isekai-ish anime, as the basic premise remains only partly explained at the end of episode one but enough effort has been made to convince me that there might be something to this show. Was that the Goddess of Light who appeared to Ein? Being reinvigorated, he attempts to find his way out of the dungeon, only to be mangled yet again and needing another rescue (by some fighting girl who resents being ordered to aid a mere human) and another healing. It gets kind of disturbing as Ein blames himself for his problems even though he says twice that his world is unfair (can it be both?). The chances that we will get a worthwhile philosophical meditation on the meaning of life are probably about as great as a snowball's chances in Hell, but at least Ein does a little thinking. More likely the lesson will be that becoming the 'strongest' is the only concievable way of attaining happiness. Might makes right. I bet that, just as in SL, Ein will go from despair to elation purely by attaining strengths and abilities that other people will admire. This show does not seem to have gotten wonderful ratings at ANN and I bet it will crash and burn, but I think I am curious enough to watch episode two. Maybe the Goddess of Light has simply taken pity on Ein.
