A young guy called Demetrios was an apprentice potter in ancient Greece and a shy otaku. He was born with innate athletic ability, despite pursuing the arts. He eventually finds himself involved in a community dispute. As Demetrios muses on his helplessness, lightning strikes him. When he wakes up, he is no longer in Greece but in a foreign nation where the people are  different from his own and speak a unfamiliar language to him. In 1964, he discovered himself in Tokyo. Demetrios is ignorant of the existence of Japan. Demetrios had welcomed by a family that overlooks him as a harmless stranger, and he ultimately brings the knowledge he has learned from the modern day to his period whenever he returns after being struck by lightning. Demetrios gains self-confidence and has learned how to win over his fellow villagers as he frequently switches between the two eras, just in time to grow stronger to plan and participate in his own Olympics in his hometown.
