Getting Summoned Repeatedly Made Him So Broken Even The Goddess Gave Up! | Manga Recap

Inori’s Summoning Glitch

Inori Takafuji’s isekai adventure begins as a cosmic malfunction. Summoned with his classmates to defeat a demon king, he’s immediately yanked out of the royal court by another summoning circle—and then keeps bouncing between worlds before he can settle anywhere. Each time he lands back in the goddess’s waiting room, she gives him another blessing and sends him off again. The two soon abandon divine politeness: Inori asks her to keep her explanations under 20 words, while she grows increasingly exasperated at seeing him return.

His brief visits are dangerous, strange, and occasionally absurd. A mad scientist tries to cut out his magical eyes; a pair of elves summon him but can’t complete the contract before he’s whisked away; and a princess’s lengthy hero speech gets interrupted when Inori tries to force a binding contract before the countdown expires. The repeated trips grant him a bizarre collection of powers, including the Eye of True Sight, the Eye of Sigils, vampirism, true dark magic, and the ability to steal skills.

Eventually, the goddess works out that summoning circles across the cosmos keep targeting Inori because his soul is unusually strong. His final send-off is almost heartfelt—until he arrives in his permanent world and finds a court wondering why the prophecy brought them a fourth hero.

The Kingdom’s “Useless” Hero

In the Rising Sun Kingdom, Inori is dismissed as a tagalong. The three celebrated heroes—Ryuto, Tamaki, and Aoi—receive impressive blessings, while Inori’s official appraisal shows only the low-level skill Detect. He also flops in the physical and magical tests, earning the court’s contempt.

But the kingdom’s appraisal barely scratches the surface. Inori’s real status reveals an enormous pool of magic, stacked abilities, and vampiric powers that let him grow stronger by draining blood and stealing skills. He discovers he can combine Detect with True Sight to see through walls and appraise people without being in the same room—a useful trick, though it leads to an awkward accidental view of a passing maid.

At night, when the sun’s curse no longer weakens him, he secretly experiments with his abilities, reproduces spells from memory, makes weapons, and opens a portal past the castle’s defenses.

His daytime training is a running gag: the sun drains most of his stats, and he can barely manage 30 push-ups. His private tutor, the seemingly emotionless second princess, is much more interesting than he first assumes. Inori learns that her forbidden birth name is Arya. Once an heir apparent and celebrated prodigy, she was displaced when the queen had a legitimate daughter and was forced to give up her name and play the role of a perfectly obedient royal puppet.

Arya eventually snaps after waking Inori from his lecture-induced naps 27 times. She drags him into a soundproof room and attacks him, furious that he’s wasting his freedom. Inori recognizes that her anger is really years of buried resentment, evades her lightning with shadow magic, and calls her by her true name. The confrontation lets Arya admit she doesn’t want him discarded and powerless like she was. They form a bond, though she warns that outside private moments, “Arya” has to disappear and the puppet princess must return.

A Duel That Isn’t Really a Duel

The castle is soon invaded by Masayoshi Date, a violent foreign hero who demands to fight Inori. He mistakenly attacks Ryuto first, nearly killing the kingdom’s prized champion before Captain Egiana intervenes. Masayoshi is terrifyingly strong even before using his divine blessing—and he claims he wants to punish Inori for being unworthy of the goddess.

The reason turns out to be ridiculous: Masayoshi proposed to the goddess on sight, was rejected, and was tricked into believing he could win her over by proving his soul stronger than Inori’s. Inori is furious at the goddess for passing her unwanted suitor along, but sees an opportunity to protect his position at court. He baits Masayoshi into accepting a supposedly fair contest: a race through a dungeon to defeat its first-floor boss.

Masayoshi charges ahead, while Inori takes Arya through the labyrinth and focuses on the kingdom’s real problem: its empty treasury. He maps the dungeon with True Sight and Detect, gathers a fortune in hidden treasure, and even crafts a dramatic outfit from monster materials. When Arya opens a suspicious chest against his warning, it turns out to be a mimic that swallows her—leaving her drenched in slime and begging the maid Nala for a bath.

Inori then admits he lost the contest, and the queen tries to banish him. His counter is that the contest was a personal dispute over courtship, not a matter of national honor. He unveils the treasure he recovered, saving the kingdom’s finances and his own place in the palace. His reward from the system is a fitting pair of new additions: Swindler and the title Ham Actor.

As the banquet later shows, he’s still treated as an outsider, and Masayoshi even throws a dagger at his throat to test whether his helpless act is real.

The First Real Defeat—and the Rematch

After growing stronger by hunting the weak monsters around the capital, Inori ventures into a hidden forest concealed by powerful illusions. There he runs into Fenrir, the Ashen Wolf King, a mythical monster far beyond his current level. Fenrir tears off Inori’s arm and later blasts him with a storm of razor-sharp fur, destroying his escape diagram and knocking out his Eye of True Sight.

Inori survives by thinking on his feet. He regenerates his arm, uses daggers embedded in a tree to create a new summoning circle, and teleports above Fenrir to land a surprise kick and stab. He escapes before he can be killed, but accepts that he was badly outmatched. The loss becomes a combat lesson: he needs stronger weapons, a better grasp of his regeneration, and more preparation before challenging monsters of this rank.

Months later, Inori returns to the forest with a plan. He provokes Fenrir into attacking, then uses the corpses of previously slain wolves as undead puppets to distract the king. Fenrir still manages to smash Inori’s ribs, but Inori teleports out of the jaws of death and uses the momentum of Fenrir’s attacks to set up a trap. With chains named Gleipnir, anchored to the surrounding trees, he binds the wolf king in midair.

Inori drains Fenrir’s blood, gains five levels, and steals the beast’s unique Monarch Caliber ability. One of the shadow wolves can now speak and asks him to preserve the rest of the pack rather than simply slaughter them. Inori agrees, turning the forest’s protectors into his own shadow army. By sunrise, he has a legendary wolf king and pack under his control—and, after an all-night battle, is already dreading having to stay awake for Arya’s lectures.
