Plot[]

The protagonist is an old man who had lived his life as the world's greatest assassin. Due to his advanced age, it was finally decided that he would be able to retire. However, the plane he was on was sabotaged and even his skills as the greatest assassin could not save him. When he died, he was awakened by a goddess who wanted to reincarnate him in a world of swords and magic because she needs his skill set to prevent the destruction of that world at the hands of the Hero. Accepting this request, the protagonist awakens as Lugh Tuatha Dé and swears to finally live his life to its fullest as a human being and not as a tool.

Characters[]

Lugh (ルーグ, Rūgu)
Voiced by: Kenji Akabane[1]
The son of Cian and Esri, Lugh is the main protagonist. He is the designated heir to the House of Tuatha Dé, taught in both the arts of medicine and assassination by his father. He is tasked by the goddess with the job of killing the Hero after he defeats the Demon Lord as a prophecy revealed that the Hero, drunk on power, would destroy the world himself after defeating the Demon Lord.
Dia (ディア, Dia)
Voiced by: Reina Ueda[1]
Lugh's love interest and childhood friend, Dia first met Lugh as his teacher in the ability to use magic. She is one of the most powerful mages in the world and becomes even more powerful with the help of Lugh and his all-around knowledge of the modern world.
Tarte (タルト, Taruto)
Voiced by: Yūki Takada[1]
Lugh's assassination assistant, Tarte is a mage saved by Lugh who wholeheartedly entrusts herself to her savior. On the surface, she appears as Lugh's beautiful attendant.
Maha (マーハ, Māha)
Voiced by: Shino Shimoji[1]
Lugh's adopted sister, Maha is yet another mage saved by the machinations of Lugh although at that time, he was known by his alias, Illig Balor. She serves as the CEO of Lugh's cosmetics brand while Lugh is absent.
Cian (キアン, Kian)
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa[2]
Lugh's father, he is the current head of House Tuatha Dé. A loving father, he is proud of the fact that his son has absorbed so many of his teachings, especially on the occasion where his son broke his family creed to help his loved one, similar to how Cian himself had done the same to help his own significant other.
Esri (エスリ, Esuri)
Voiced by: Chiaki Takahashi[2]
Lugh's mother, she is also a noblewoman of House Viekone and is a relative of Dia. She was initially against raising Lugh as an assassin of House Tuatha Dé but was convinced by her husband who promised that he would protect Lugh with all of his power. Esri loves to tease her son and often gets into cooking contests with him after teaching him and eventually discovering he was especially skilled in the culinary arts.
Goddess (女神, Megami)
