The story begins with some character that we are supposed to believe was teleported from our world into some other one at the age of twelve.
The memories of his 'past life' are fragmentary and always convenient. Sometimes he talks like a black plague doctor from the fourteen century, sometimes like your average Joe Sixpack from the modern days, sometimes some kind of light filters into the author's mind and he reflects that a twelve years old kid wouldn't remember anything.
The first thing to happen is that the guy gets kidnaped by some local scoundrels, which are murdered without much difficulty by one of the leaders of 'The Black Mary' an evil assassin organization. Instead of killing the boy or letting him go, this blind leader decides to kidnap him. Assassin kidnappers save me from normal kidnappers. Hurray?
If you are wondering whether being blind constitutes some sort of impediment at the time of being a hitman, let me tell you something: you should gouge your eyes off! This blind woman not only can perfectly function as a person with all their senses, but as the author explains "Because she was blind, Richelieu’s sense of hearing far surpassed a normal human’s. If she wanted to, she could walk in heavy traffic without running into anyone without needing a cane, and she could hear a pin drop from one kilometer away. She even could discern someone’s state of mind through their heartbeats and breathing".
Fifteen years ellipsis and the main character is a doctor that kills people for money but it's ok because he does community service at the hospital. He's not a real doctor, though, he's more like a magician pretending to be a doctor. But still, he picked some mad skills at the office, I let the author explain it in his own words "Because he’s a doctor, he could stop the sound of his heartbeats whenever he wanted, and even temporarily appear dead" Also "He could figure out the number of people in a simple one-floor building like this and where they were from the vibrations they make" Cool, right? I would pick Med as a major if I knew that those guys handled this kind of crap.
We also meet some characters with "unique" attributes such as Rose Cranberry, who has red hair, red clothing, and red eyes, plus she is with the blood knights...

| Literally this character, plagiarizing much? |
Or the Black Mary assassins: a 'yandere' werewolf that looks exactly like the blind lady and tantrums over jealousy all the time, a blue-haired shy schoolgirl sniper or the punk girl that pretty much gets drunk at all times, whose as the author writes, "Most distinctive feature is having huge boobs". Reliable, right? Meet the team.

| Big tits, sort of punky... Leone, is that you? |
All the girls are head over heels for the main character, god knows why, and the whole story lacks any description of the surroundings up to the point where one doesn't know whether the setting is a road in the middle of nowhere or the center of the city, or the outskirts of the city.
The betrayal itself is inconsistent, one day the guy says "Yeah, these guys are kind of evil. I'll just bolt and sell all their info to some other assassin organization"
Some more stuff that doesn't make sense like "The color of the moon in this world changes every night according to the day of the week" and I finally dropped when the first person narrator shifted for no reason with no explanation whatsoever.
