Seven Seas licensed both the light novel series and its manga adaptation, and it describes the story:

Touka Mimori and his classmates are abruptly catapulted into a fantasy world, summoned by the resident goddess to serve as heroes. The good news? Most of the students display amazing skills upon arrival! The bad? Mimori is the worst of the lot, bottoming out at a measly E-rank. Incensed, the goddess tosses him into a dungeon to die–but it turns out that Mimori's skills aren't so much worthless as they are abnormal. Abnormally powerful, perhaps!

The light novel debuted on Overlap's Comic Gardo site in July 2018. The 11.5th novel volume with art by KWKM shipped in Japan on January 25. The manga premiered on Comic Gardo in July 2019. The manga's ninth compiled book volume launched in Japan also on January 25.
