Plot

Exgate Online is an MMO taken over by a single player's avatar—Lufas Maphaahl, the "unofficial last boss". Since others cannot enjoy the game like this, she faces off against the other top players in a "final battle" and, as planned, is intentionally defeated. However, the game's goddess then asks whether she would like a "new challenge", and her player promptly accepts, after which she finds herself transported into the game's world as Lufas 200 years after her defeat. Learning that her NPC subordinates—the Twelve Heavenly Stars—are on a rampage, she sets off on a journey to stop them, all while having to bear with her avatar's infamy.

The formerly male #1 player of the MMO Exgate Online, who allowed himself to be defeated by other top players after growing tired of the game. However, he then suddenly got transformed into his avatar and transported into the game's world 200 years later. Learning that her tamed monsters—the Twelve Heavenly Stars—are on a rampage, she sets out on a journey to stop them. She eventually starts wondering whether there is a "real" Lufas whose body she inhabits, after she begins recalling memories of a past in this world. However, this is later revealed to be false; in truth, following her defeat 200 years ago, she had her memories sealed and got reincarnated on Earth as her male player by Dina, who also developed Exgate Online in preparation for summoning her back to her own world.

After her cover is blown, she alleges to be an Exgate Online developer who was transported into the game and seemingly swears allegiance to Lufas whilst secretly continuing to cooperate with the Demon Lord behind her back.

Transliteration: "Yasei no Rasu Bosu ga Arawareta!" (Japanese: 野生のラスボスが現れた！)		Yūya HoriuchiKazuyuki FudeyasuYūya HoriuchiOctober 4, 2025 (2025-10-04)
In the online game Exgate, one of the top players, who plays as Lufas Maphaahl, the game's final boss, fights the other top players, who play as the Seven Heroes. She eventually allows the heroes to defeat and imprison her, as the game had grown boring for her as the unopposed ruler of the world, but also informs the heroes of the Demon Lord Orm. Exgate's goddess Alovenus offers the player a chance to enter the game, which he accepts. The player awakens as Lufas herself, accidentally summoned by the king of the Laevateinn Nation 200 years after her defeat. The player learns from the king that Exgate has become a real world in which Orm is still undefeated. The king had tried to summon a hero, but unsealed Lufas by accident. She assures the king she has no evil plans and wishes to live anonymously. Lufas returns to her home, the Sky Tower, and finds that her NPC advisor Dina has gained sentience. From her, she learns that the Seven Heroes each founded their own nation. Four died from old age while three survived due to their species longer lifespans, and that they have failed to defeat Orm. Lufas decides to discover if the three surviving heroes are Exgate players. She also decides to search for the Twelve Heavenly Stars, her NPC servants, but she needs money first. Dina warns Lufas she could still be recognized by the world's inhabitants, so the only way to earn money would be anonymously as adventurers. They travel to Ydalir City in disguise and take a job exterminating orcs in Aisle Village, which Lufas completes with ease.
2"We Came to Svel!"
Transliteration: "Suveru-koku e Yattekita!" (Japanese: スヴェル国へやってきた！)		Lin Ying ChenKazuyuki FudeyasuYūya HoriuchiOctober 11, 2025 (2025-10-11)
After harvesting the orcs' meat and rescuing the women that the orcs kidnapped, Lufas destroys their hideout and returns the women to Aisle Village using a large golem. Lufas is curious as to why no other adventurers accepted the quest. Dina explains that combat standards have declined. In Exgate, players like Lufas often exceeded level 1000, but now that Exgate is a real world, warriors are often killed before reaching 100, and the time needed to reach 1000 would exceed a human lifetime. As they are hiding her identity, Dina claims that Lufas is Lady Sfalu (to the latter's annoyance), and they leave the golem to protect the village. Having earned enough money, they travel to Svel, the Water City, which has been repeatedly attacked by Heavenly Star Aries the Ram, trying to kill the surviving elf hero Megrez to avenge Lufas' defeat. There, Lufas requests a mercenary named Gantz to show them to a library. Gantz reveals that the lake surrounding Svel is actually a titanic water golem named Levia created by Megrez, so Aries can't enter Svel. At the library, Lufas discovers books blaming the heroes for defeating her, which allowed the devil-folk to invade. Lufas is furious to discover that humans are running out of places to live as Orm and the devil-folk have captured almost all the peaceful territory that once belonged to her. An earthquake strikes Svel, with Lufas revealing that Aries possesses an earthquake-causing ability. The two head to Aries' domain on a flying platform that Lufas created.
3"Aries Has Attacked!"
Transliteration: "Ariesu ga Semetekita!" (Japanese: アリエスが攻めてきた！)		Hiroshi KuboKazuyuki FudeyasuYūya HoriuchiOctober 18, 2025 (2025-10-18)
In the past, Lufas took in a rainbow sheep, naming it Aries and making it one of her subordinates. Back in the present, Gantz leads an army against Aries’s forces while Megrez sends out Levia to help. Watching this from a distance, Lufas worries that Aries won’t stand a chance against Levia and discovers that Megrez is cursed by Orm, cutting off half of his stats. Aries arrives and fights Levia, but is overwhelmed; however, he escapes as he is very cunning. Lufas intervenes and Megrez recognizes her. He also warns Lufas that someone is manipulating Aries. Lufas confronts Aries, who doubts that she is his master, so Lufas fights him to prove it. After Lufas wins the fight, Aries takes the form of a young human girl and apologizes to Lufas for his actions. He decides to join her, but also doesn’t give Dina much attention.
4"They Were Pulling Strings Behind the Scenes!"
Transliteration: "Ura de Ito o Hīteita!" (Japanese: 裏で糸を引いていた！)		Shun TsuchidaKazuyuki FudeyasuShun TsuchidaOctober 25, 2025 (2025-10-25)
Lufas questions Aries about his motives and he explains that he wants revenge on the heroes, who had betrayed Lufas in the past. After convincing Aries to give up revenge, Lufas suspects that someone is pulling the strings behind the recent events. In Orm's domain, the Luminary Mars prepares to invade Svel with an army of devils in hopes to kill Megrez, revealing that he was using Aries to weaken Svel's defenses. However, his army is suddenly wiped out by Lufas and Aries, though Mars doesn't recognize the former and thinks she's one of the heroes, while Lufas deduces that Mars is the one who manipulated Aries. Disappointed with Aries's betrayal, Mars prepares to fight them and unleashes powerful attacks. Lufas swiftly counters Mars's attacks and sends him flying, but not before Mars catches her true appearance. Dina arrives and tells them about Mars's history. Lufas then turns the defeated devils into her minions and orders them to return to their habitats. The next day, Lufas informs Megrez of their success in stopping the attack and he leads the group to his study. Lufas suspects that he is still one of the other top players, but when she reveals her true appearance to Megrez, she senses that he is different now. She also tells Megrez how she was unleashed and has no hatred towards the heroes for betraying her, which led to the devil folks attacking. After healing Levia, Lufas continues her journey to find the rest of the Twelve Heavenly Stars and Dina gives her the location of one of them: Libra of the Scales, a powerful robotic maid-like golem who is guarding a tomb that belongs to Lufas and also houses ancient weapons that no one has be able to obtain. Megrez asks her to get some of those weapons for him and also provides her with a new disguise as she and her group leave. They also bid farewell to Gantz, who almost figures out Lufas's true identity. Meanwhile, Mars crash-lands in a forest where he is disintegrated by a mysterious woman.
5"A Wild Hot Spring Appeared!"
Transliteration: "Yasei no Onsen ga Arawareta!" (Japanese: 野生の温泉が現れた！)		Lin Ying ChenMomoko MurakamiHiroshi KuboNovember 1, 2025 (2025-11-01)
While on their way to Lufas' tomb, Lufas creates a golem in the shape of an RV whom she names Tanaka for faster travel. They stop at a hot spring for the night, but Aries doesn't want to go into it yet since he is actually a guy. While bathing, Lufas feels conflicted by her original male self, who was quite perverted. After they are finished, Aries goes into the hot springs next. The next day, the three reach the dungeon housing the tomb, but find a village built near it. It turns out the dungeon has become a tourist attraction. Aries at first considers ridding the place of people, but is ordered not to by Lufas. They learn that a reconnaissance team has almost made it to the tomb's entrance, so they decide to go into the dungeon despite warnings from a group of adventurers called Hawk's Eye that they may not survive. The three encounter a golem that Lufas created years ago, who recognizes its master, but attacks Dina as it fails to identify her as an ally. Hawk's Eye comes to their aid, but the golem is too powerful for them. Aries helps them defeat the golem. Both groups introduce each other and team up to reach the tomb. Making it to the entrance, Hawk's Eye encounter Libra, who demands that they leave. The team's attempts to reason with Libra fails, leading her to attack them.

Confronting Libra, Lufas reveals her true form. However, Libra is revealed to be malfunctioning and does not recognize her, forcing Lufas to fight her. Lufas eventually fixes Libra and she at last recognizes Lufas before shutting down. Lufas reunites with the others and finds that Dina has put Hawk's Eye in a trance to make them forget about Lufas's group; therefore, revealing that Hawk's Eye's earlier confrontation with Libra was a false memory. Entering the tomb, Lufas is revealed to have an obsession with gold. After gathering all the weapons, Dina sends them along with the remaining golems to the Sky Tower. At this point, Hawk's Eye snap out of their trance and believe that they conquered the dungeon. After Libra is reactivated, she decides to join the group.

Transliteration: "Kyūseishu…… Datta!" (Japanese: 救世主……だった！)		Yūya HoriuchiMegumu SasanoHiroshi KuboNovember 15, 2025 (2025-11-15)
While on their way to Vanaheim, Lufas has a dream regarding her past self. Dina reveals that Lufas's kind, the heaven-winged, were driven out of the village and are living in Gjallarhorn, a city founded by Merak, one of the Seven Heroes. Lufas wonders if Merak is a player, unlike Megrez. Reaching Gjallarhorn, they see that the city is built along a cliffside and a civil war is ongoing between black and white winged, causing the city to be divided into two sections. Libra gives them a lift into the city, but attracts too much attention with her rocket boosters. Pretending to be merchants, the group stay in one of the inns. That night, Lufas has a nightmare regarding her avatar's past life, where her abusive father considers her a nuisance, while her ill mother is more supportive of her. This results in her running away from home and becoming a villainess. Waking up, Lufas is puzzled by this, as her player never wrote such a backstory for the character. She realizes that this world is not the world of the game, but an actual, real world, which leads her to wonder what has happened to the real Lufas's soul. Meanwhile, at the Demon Lord's castle, the Seven Luminaries learn of Mars' defeat and Lufas' return. Luminaries Venus and Jupiter are sent to observe her. Back in Gjallarhorn, Lufas's group attempt to find information on the heaven-winged conflict before meeting Merak. Aries also warns Lufas that Aigokeros, another one of the Twelve Heavenly Stars, may have allied with the devilfolk. Lufas visits a black temple dedicated to her, to which the priest considers her a hero to his kind and Merak a threat. While Dina waits at a white temple, Jupiter attempts to ambush her, but Libra intervenes. Aries encounters Aigokeros, who intends to eliminate the remaining Seven Heroes and invites Aries to join him.

Merak, who is revealed to be a white winged himself, is pressured by his subjects to summon a hero who can eliminate the black winged, but he doesn't know what to do. In the past, Merak had considered Lufas a hero when she fought for equal rights between the heaven-winged. Jupiter is outmatched by Libra and is forced to retreat. Aries turns down Aigokeros's offer and reveals that Lufas is alive, but he can't rejoin her until he eliminates the remaining heroes and the devilfolks. Dina overhears a group of white winged planning to eliminate the black winged behind Merak's back, and Jupiter is helping them. Lufas's group reunite to reveal their discovers while Aries keeps his encounter with Aigokeros a secret. They plan to capture Jupiter, but not kill him. Meanwhile, Venus arrives to help Jupiter by keeping Libra preoccupied. Growing suspicious of Dina due to her teleportation magic, Lufas and Libra interrogate her, but turn up with nothing. After Dina and Libra leave, the city is attacked by Jupiter, and a dark forcefield hexes the citizens to wage war against each other while Lufas observes from outside of the city.

Lufas meets up with Aries and deduces that the devilfolks are manipulating the people into fighting each other, and intend to stop them. She also assumes that the dark magic is Aigokeros's doing. With his work done, Jupiter attempts to leave, but Libra attacks him at the last second; Venus apparently didn't keep her preoccupied long enough. She is too powerful for Jupiter to defeat, forcing him to run from her and he eventually surrenders. Aries goes to confront Aigokeros, trying to get him to stop. Aries proves to be no match for Aigokeros, but Lufas saves him and in response, Aigokeros comes to his senses and breaks down into tears upon seeing that his master really is alive. Deciding to not help the devilfolks anymore, Aigokeros takes the form of a human butler and removes the forcefield before disappearing into Lufas's shadow, but also warns her that the heaven-winged are still clashing with each other. Dina arrives and offers to stop the war. They go to see the conflict as Merak comes out to try and calm things down. They notice that he is missing a wing, as he is also cursed by Orm. Libra arrives with the captured Jupiter and Dina explains everything to the citizens. Jupiter discovers that Dina is actually Venus (also revealing that it was she who killed Mars) and attempts to attack her as revenge for her betrayal, but Libra swiftly kills him. Later, Lufas reveals herself to Merak and he considers himself not worthy to be king, but Lufas convinces him to get over his guilt, but her group will not be able to assist him any further. As they leave, Lufas learns that photos don't exist in this world and decides to talk to Dina alone. Meanwhile, Merak has regained his confidence and arrests the white winged who helped plan the attack. In another area, a woman named Benetnasch learns of Lufas's approach and Aries's disappearance. She plans to kill Lufas.
10"Who Are You?"
Transliteration: "Kata wa Nanimono da!" (Japanese: 其方は何者だ！)		Shinichi FukumotoMichiru TenmaTomoya TanakaDecember 6, 2025 (2025-12-06)
Alone with Dina, Lufas demands to know who she really is, and Dina reveals that she is actually another player from the real world who has the power to implant false memories in other characters to make them wage war against each other; however, she couldn't manipulate Lufas's memories. Dina is also revealed to be a beta tester with some administrative access to see player information. She also reveals herself to be Venus of the Seven Luminaries and had been working with the devilfolks so that Lufas and them will fight each other. She decides to challenge Lufas to a battle, and creates a forcefield around them to ensure no one else can interfere. Dina first appears powerful with the use of metal spikes and Exgate, but she is unable to keep up with Lufas due to being a backline mage. Lufas commends her for her skillful deceit and inquires about the reason for her deception. However, after failing to reason with Dina, Dina unleashes one final attack on Lufas and Gjallarhorn before leaving to higher ground. Lufas uses her own powerful attack to stop it. Having lost, Dina finally explains everything and reveals that the world is based on the novels that the game originated from and that the characters here are not players at all. She caused the war to defeat Orm in hopes of finding a way back to the real world. Because she couldn't beat Orm on her own, she reunited the Twelve Heavenly Stars and went undercover in the devilfolks' kingdom as Venus to cause war between both groups. Since Dina still maintains her loyalty to Lufas, she decides to continue serving Lufas just as Aigokeros, Libra, and Aries arrive. After providing a decent excuse to protect Dina, Aigokeros tells Lufas about two other members of the Twelve Heavenly Stars who are aiding the devilfolks and that Laevateinn has successfully summoned a hero this time. Meanwhile, in Laevateinn, the summoned hero appears to be an ordinary Japanese man.
11"A Wild Lufas Maphaahl and a Wild Devil King Have Appeared at the Same Time!!!"
Transliteration: "Yasei no Rufasu・Mafāru to Yasei no Orumu ga Dōjini Arawareta!" (Japanese: 野生のルファス・マファールと野生のオルムが同時に現れた！)		Nariaki KaiMichiru TenmaItoguchi HatsumitaDecember 13, 2025 (2025-12-13)
Minamijuuji Sei, the summoned hero, was a high school student who is drawn by mysterious voices calling for help and is summoned to the game world by Laevateinn's king. The king requests for him to defeat Orm and Lufas. Sei dreams of being a police officer like his father and agrees to the task. He undergoes weeks of training with the master swordsman Friedrich, who doesn't speak the human language, though the vice captain can understand him. Sei is later given a team to accompany him: Friedrich, the vice captain, Kross the Acolyte, and Gantz's daughter Alfie. Megrez also provides them with steel golems to help his team along with a group of ten rangers. They suddenly come across Lufas and Orm. Sometime earlier, Lufas deduces that Sei's summoning is the work of Alioth, the leader of the Seven Heroes, and fears that the devilfolks will attack Sei. Dina explains that Alioth is long dead, but the barrier that he created still protects his nations. Lufas decides to head to Laevateinn alone, but also encounters Orm. The two engage in an overwhelming battle, but prove to be equally matched. Sei's party realize that they won't stand a chance against Orm and Lufas. Orm reveals that the real Lufas was even stronger and explains that he and the devilfolks are mere pawns to the goddess Alovenus, and that they must kill to survive. Lufas has never heard of this backstory, hinting that Orm is not who she thinks he is. The others realize the truth behind Alovenus's plan, which Orm is trying to end. Libra helps Lufas escape while Orm speaks to Dina alone, who suspects that Alovenus has weakened Lufas's strength before they all leave the scene. Sei's party is left in shock.

Transliteration: "Kokyō ni Tondemo nai Mono ga Sonzai Shita!" (Japanese: 故郷にとんでもないものが存在した！)		Yūya HoriuchiMegumu SasanoYūya HoriuchiDecember 20, 2025 (2025-12-20)
While traveling on Tanaka, Lufas is annoyed that she got pulled out of the battle, but the others explain that Orm is targeting her and not Sei’s group. Several days later, Sei’s party return to Laevateinn. Alfie has fled out of fear and the rangers have vanished. The king hires replacement party members: Gantz, Hawk’s Eye, and the king himself, but the guards won’t let him join. Sei feels frustrated by his team's quirks. Meanwhile, Lufas’s group reach Vanaheim, passing through the barrier around the city, in search for Parthenos, but they instead meet her granddaughter Virgo, who is a heaven-winged. They learn that Parthenos passed away a long time ago, but her spirit is still here and is keeping the barrier up. Aigokeros foolishly destroys the barrier to lure Parthenos out, but it doesn’t work. The group decide to visit Lufas’s hometown, which is in a nearby mountain, to visit the grave of Lufas’s mother, so Lufas turns Tanaka into a jet. Once there, Lufas remembers how horribly she had been treated in the past, making her subordinates angry over their master’s abuse. At Lufas’s old house, they learn that Lufas's father is long dead and meet Parthenos’s ghost, who tells them more about Alovenus’s ulterior motives and shows Lufas one of the slumbering Dragons of Heaven, who will awaken if the world is in danger. Visiting her mother’s grave, Lufas is upset that Alovenus was just using her all this time. She decides to continue with the real Lufas’s original goal and eventually face Alovenus.
