Based on Ibarakino's light novel series, Even Given the Worthless "Appraiser" Class anime is set in a fantasy world, where jobs are God-given from birth.

Abandoned and abused by everyone, Ein feels he shouldn't dream about becoming a hero, until one day, when he meets Yuri, the Spirit of the World Tree, and Ursula, the Guardian & the Sage. Ein realizes his weak skills could be the key to becoming a hero.
