Plot
Fifteen-year-old Touya Mochizuki is accidentally killed by God. As an apology, God allows him to be resurrected, but since he cannot send him back to his old world, he instead reincarnates him into a fantasy world along with any special requests. Touya requested to bring his smartphone into the new world with him, which God accommodates. Even though Touya cannot contact his old world with it, the phone can be easily recharged by magic and can otherwise function such as accessing data from Earth and can use relevant features for his new world such as the GPS function to locations which are comprehensively identified, internet access of world wide web of Earth, and camera features.
God also greatly amplifies Touya's physical, magical, and cognitive abilities to a certain degree as a further apology for the inconvenience of killing him, making him almost impossible to defeat. Taking full advantage of his second chance at life, Touya befriends many different people, mainly women and high-ranking people in his new world, eventually having nine fiancées. He begins to travel from country to country, solving political disputes, minor quests, and nonchalantly enjoying himself with his newfound allies. During his travels, he faces many monsters, villainous people, and powerful crystal creatures called the Phrase.
