Spoiler-Free Summary
Hollace is just a regular woman who lives a rather uneventful life. She works, runs errands, and socializes when she can find the time. However, her life takes a rather unexpected turn when a tall woman claiming to be an autonomous goddess introduces herself one morning.
The woman claims that she has the unique power to create an entire universe. She would like to find out as much as possible about mankind to ensure that her universe will be even better than theirs.
Hollace immediately assumes that the woman is crazy and delusional. However, she agrees to let the woman follow her around for a single week. After all, her life is pretty boring and mundane, so what could the woman possibly discover?
The last thing that Hollace expects is for her life to become ensnared with the affairs of dangerous filmmakers and murderous cultists. Despite her best intentions and efforts to show the goddess her favorite parts of mankind, she quickly comes to realize that things aren’t quite as they seem.
Things keep going from bad to worse, leading the goddess to wonder whether or not she should simply wipe out humankind to create a new, better universe…
