Plot

Flum Apricot is born with a unique Affinity known as "Reversal" that leaves her with zero stats across the board. However, after being prophesied by the God Origin to join the Hero's party and defeat the Demon Lord, Flum finds herself with what seems like an impossible task. Things only get harder when the party's renowned sage, Jean Inteige, decides to sell her into slavery instead. After being thrown to ghouls for the master's entertainment with nothing but a cursed sword, Flum finally learns the true meaning of her unique "Reversal" Affinity: it can turn negative stats into positive stats.

A peasant girl chosen to join the Hero's party, despite having zero stats due to her "Reversal" affinity. Unfortunately, despite trying to be the group's emotional center, her teammate, Jean, deemed her a burden and sold her into slavery behind the other members’ backs. However, this ironically leads her to uncover the truth of Reversal—it allows her to wield cursed weapons by converting negative effects into positive ones—after which she escapes with fellow slave Milkit and vows to build a new life together.
Milkit (ミルキット, Mirukitto)
Voiced by: Miku Itō[5] (Japanese); Reshel Mae[4] (English)

1"The Beginning and the End"
Transliteration: "Hajimari to Owari" (Japanese: はじまりとおわり)		Nobuharu KamanakaMariko KunisawaNobuharu KamanakaJanuary 9, 2026 (2026-01-09)
Though chosen by humanity's deity, Origin, to join the Hero's party and defeat the Demon Lord, Flum has zero stats due to her Affinity—Reversal. Considering her a nuisance, the party's Sage, Jean, sells her into slavery behind the other members' backs. Even worse, the slave trader decides to feed her and the other slaves to ghouls after deeming her a defective product. He at least gives them a sword to defend themselves, but it is cursed to kill anyone with low stats. Preferring to die quickly, Flum grabs the weapon. However, rather than kill her, it heals and empowers her, causing her to realize that Reversal turns negative effects into positive ones. She then kills the ghouls and the trader before escaping with the only other survivor, Milkit, who assumes Flum is now her owner. Finding herself in her country's capital, Flum gains the ability to use Scan and tries registering as an adventurer to afford a living. While the receptionist, Y'lla, does not take her seriously, an A-Ranked adventurer, Dein, offers to register her if she can complete an F-Rank quest. After she leaves; however, it is revealed that Dein actually gave her a D-Rank quest and fully expects her to die.
2"Coincidence and Fate"
UnknownUnknownTBAJanuary 16, 2026 (2026-01-16)
Milkit asks why Flum rescued her, to which the latter admits that it was to give herself a reason to live. Arriving at the quest location, Flum realises that Dein duped her upon encountering werewolves, one of which turns on its pack and fuses with them into a chimera with heightened stats using a weird power that twists anything that it touches. Flum fights the abomination, but it continually regenerates and mutates whenever she inflicts any damage, until she finally manages to defeat it by collapsing a bridge onto it. After looting some cursed equipment off a nearby corpse, Flum reunites with Milkit. Struggling with having a master who cares for her, the slave takes off the bandages covering her face to reveal that it is toxin-disfigured. However, Flum accepts her regardless. Afterwards, the guild rewards Flum for defeating the werewolves, much to Dein's annoyance, and she uses the money to afford a meal for herself and Milkit. Meanwhile, Dein learns about the slave trader's death. Elsewhere, Jean claimed to the other Hero's party members that Flum left on her own. Unfortunately, without her as their emotional centre, tensions soon rise within the group.
3"Purity and Corruption"
UnknownUnknownTBAJanuary 23, 2026 (2026-01-23)
While shopping with Milkit, Flum stops a theft committed by some of Dein's goons, during which she receives help from Origin Church nun Sara. Returning the stolen items to their owner, Leitch, the merchant begs them to accept an illicit quest: retrieve herbs to cure his ailing wife, which the church outlawed to enforce the use of healing magic. They accept, with Sara not caring about breaking Church law. En route to the quest location, Sara tells Flum about herself: she is from a pagan village that worshipped a different god from Origin, but demons destroyed it. After overnighting with Milkit at a nearby inn, Flum and Sara search for the herbs inside a cave. However, as retribution for interfering with the robbery, Dein sent his men to collapse the entrance, trapping them inside. The cave is then revealed to be inhabited by an ogre bearing the same mutations as the werewolf Flum fought, with its stats saying "Pay for your sins, Flum," forcing the girls to flee further inside. Meanwhile, tensions within the Hero's party start coming to a head when they fail to defeat a powerful demon, which Jean blames on fellow member Eterna.
4"Darkness and Light"
UnknownUnknownTBAJanuary 30, 2026 (2026-01-30)
Inside the cave, Flum and Sara stumble upon a hidden laboratory. Exploring it, Flum is shocked to see her name written in a research journal. They then find a faceless woman bearing the same mutations as the ogre from before, just as the said ogre finds them, prompting the girls to flee again. They escape down a corpse-filled pit, where Flum finds more cursed equipment for her to use, but the ogre catches up. Left with no choice but to fight, Flum eventually manages to kill the ogre, only for another one to appear. Fortunately, Neigass, the demon whom the Hero's party fought before, appears and kills it. Recognizing Flum, she then brings her and Sara to safety. While Sara does not trust her due to demons having supposedly destroyed her hometown, Neigass claims that they were not responsible and reveals that the lab belongs to the Church. Afterwards, Neigass removes the boulders blocking the cave's exit while Flum and Sara complete their herb retrieval quest. Meanwhile, back at the inn, Milkit suddenly receives a knock on her door.
5"Cruelty and Camaraderie"
UnknownUnknownTBAFebruary 6, 2026 (2026-02-06)
Flum and Sara return to the inn to find that Dein's men have taken Milkit hostage, prompting the former to kill them. She then checks on Milkit, but the slave is more concerned about her clothes being damaged, prompting Flum to explain that she cares about her. The next day, Flum and Milkit part ways with Sara after returning to the capital. They then give the retrieved herbs to Leitch, who, in gratitude, gifts them a house. Flum also learns more about the church's dark side from Leitch's journalist sister, Welcy. Examining the house, Flum is shocked to discover that it is already inhabited by Eterna, who quit the Hero's party following her argument with Jean. Telling each other their stories, Flum is overjoyed that her other comrades did not abandon her, while Eterna becomes furious about Jean selling the former into slavery. Flum then requests Eterna to create an antidote for Milkit's toxin-derived disfigurements. Meanwhile, having failed to push further into demon territory, the rest of the Hero's party uses teleportation magic to return to the capital. Elsewhere, Neigass reports to her colleagues about Flum and the Hero's party before showing them the mutated ogres' remains.
6"An Ordinary Life"
UnknownUnknownTBAFebruary 13, 2026 (2026-02-13)
As Milkit prepares breakfast, Flum expresses her feelings for her. They and Eterna go shopping and reunite with Sara, who is accompanied by two knights, Ed and Jonny. They are grateful for Flum for catching Dein's men from earlier. After Sara and the knights leave, Flum heads to the guild, but the receptionist warns her against taking anymore jobs as she will become a target if she does them, and Dein is upset that Flum is still alive. Eterna tells Milkit about her past when she and Flum used to be part of the Hero's party, and Flum's presence is what's keeping them together. She also convinces Milkit to express her feelings for Flum. Sara later arrives and joins them for a meal. Sara reveals what she found out about the underground lab, and Eterna suspects that the kingdom is helping the Church. After Sara leaves, Eterna explains how Milkit received her disfigurements and attempts to find a way to cure her. The next morning, Flum finds threatening messages that call Flum a murderer and suspects that this is Dein's doing. A group of rogue knights working suddenly arrive to capture her.
7"Meetings and Partings"
UnknownUnknownTBAFebruary 20, 2026 (2026-02-20)
Flum flees with the knights and Dein's men after her. Milkit senses that she is in danger. Dein eventually corners Flum, taking a blind girl hostage to force her to drink poison in exchange for the girl's freedom. However, this fails to kill Flum thanks to her Reversal ability. The rogue knights arrive to help Dein, but a girl named Ottilie Fohkelpi appears and defeats them along with most of Dein's men. As Dein escapes, Ottilie has her men arrest the survivors. Ottilie also recognizes Flum. The girls meet up with Milkit and Eterna, and Ottilie is furious with Jean's actions. Since the blind girl has amnesia, they decide to take care of her for the time being. Ottilie also tells the others about Dein's corruptive actions and past, revealing that he used to be a noble. Sara, who learned of the situation, comes for a visit and they tell Ottilie about the underground lab, Flum's Reversal ability, and the Church's ulterior motives. Ottilie decides to help them on their mission. The girls discover that the blind girl has magical tattoos on her eyes, hinting that she's from the lab. Meanwhile, while swearing vengeance against Flum, Dein is betrayed by one of his men and is told that he is no longer in charge of the West District, but he escapes and comes across his other men, who have been mutated into a large blob.
8"Budding and Withering"
TBATBATBAFebruary 27, 2026 (2026-02-27)
The blind girl introduces herself as Ink Wreathcraft and claims that she has no family nor does she remember her background. Still suspicious of where she came from, Flum asks Sara, Ed, and Jonny to investigate, but they turn up with nothing. Flum also asks the guild receptionist, but she too knows nothing about Ink. Flum also learns that Dein has been forced out of power and Kahnis, the thug who betrayed him, is the new leader of his gang. After Flum leaves, a woman arrives at the guild to search for a runaway child. Flum later introduces Ink to Sara, though they also develop a rivalry. They also figure that Flum and Milkit are in a romantic relationship. Flum and Ottilie search for Dein and confront some of his former men before learning that he had joined the Church. They meet up and talk about their discoveries before agreeing to fight for a normal life. That night, Flum jokingly proposes to Milkit and Ink considers herself useless, but the others assure her otherwise. After Milkit’s face is healed, Flum removes her bandages and they start developing romance.
9"Solitude and Family"
TBATBATBAMarch 6, 2026 (2026-03-06)
Despite being healed, Milkit still continues to wear her bandages in public. Eterna sees the romance building up between her and Flum. Flum gets jealous when Ink gets close to Milkit too. Later, Flum discovers a blob of human remains that looks just like the one that Dein saw before. The royal guards arrive to clean it up. Ed and Jonny tell Flum about their discoveries of the Church, meaning that the capital also has a Church facility. Flum remembers her friend Cyril, who is also a member of the Hero's party. Meanwhile, after another failed attempt to reach the demon's lands, the Hero's party return to the capital and Cyril decides to leave out of shame. Maria recalls her past and believes that the demons destroyed her home. Ink talks to Eterna about her drones, naming one Mofo, and Sara talks about her relationship with Ed, Jonny, and Maria. Sometime later, Dein challenges Kahnis, but is killed; however, Dein suddenly revives as his arm mutates and kills Kahnis, but at first, he thinks he killed Flum until he sees the truth. One of Kahnis' men slaughters Dein, only for multiple eyeballs to appear and mutate everyone into a blob. Sara, Ed, and Jonny arrive and upon seeing this, run for it. Jonny and Ed sacrifice themselves to allow Sara to escape from the mutating eyes; however, she fails to get away.
10"Truth and Reality"
TBATBATBAMarch 13, 2026 (2026-03-13)
With strange fog covering the city, Flum receives a request from the guild regarding the mysterious woman, whose name is Satils Francois, who came to the guild the other day in search for a missing child, revealed to be Ink. Flum also finds the guild mostly empty and is denied entry to the area where Dein and Kahnis fought. She sees what appears to be Sara running down there. Suspecting that something happened to Sara, Flum learns from a pope of Sara's planned execution for apparent treason and continues to see her, Ed, and Jonny running through the fog. Flum goes to find Ottilie, but she is off on a mission and has disappeared. Flum begins blaming herself for what happened to her friends, but Milkit doesn't agree and helps her regain her confidence, causing the fog to disappear. After telling Ink, Eterna, and Milkit about Satils, Ink tells them about her past and her connection to Origin, and Eterna learns that Ink's heart isn't beating. Meanwhile, in the demon realm, the demons wonder where Neigass is and learn that the Hero's party is falling apart after another member had left. While continuing her search for Sara, Flum meets Welcy, who tells her more about Satils. Flum also learns how to use magic. Milkit and Eterna encounter a still-alive Dein, who summons eyeballs to attack them. Eterna creates a water duplicate of Milkit to warn Flum, who wonders outside to find her as the fog resurfaces. She returns home to find Ink dripping the same eyeballs that Dein summoned. She turns to reveal the same mutations as the girl and ogres in the underground lab.
11"Dein and Flum"
TBATBATBAMarch 20, 2026 (2026-03-20)
Ink's face suddenly returns to normal, but she doesn't remember what happened. Flum suspects this to be the Church's doing and accuses Ink of being a threat, but Ink denies it. Feeling ashamed, Ink runs away. Flum follows her and finds that she was been captured by Dein, who plans to take her back to the Church and reveals that he also captured Milkit and her friends. Flum chases him down, but encounters his men, who are all identified as Godin Torres with the same name and stats. They have been hexed by the Church. Flum fights them while being protected by her Reversal ability. Gadhio, another adventurer who also left the Hero's party, arrives to help her, having been sent by Sara, revealed to be still alive. A masked girl attacks them, revealed to also be mutated. Flum escapes and leaves Gadhio to deal with them. Welcy spots Dein as Flum catches up to him. The two then fight, but Dein proves to be a strong opponent as Flum is unable to harm him. Flum is eventually overpowered. However, her Reversal ability turns the tables and weakens Dein's powers. Not finished yet, Dein summons eyeballs to infect her, but they suddenly stop as they are Ink's will and Ink still sees her as a friend. Flum reveals to Dein that the Church was just using him. Feeling regretful for hurting Ink's feelings, Flum moves in to finish off a now-insane Dein, who then tries one final attempt to defeat Flum, revealing his mutated face, but she manages to kill him for good.
