(Shoutout to FlynX (flin_x0 on Instagram) for the amazing cover art.) Kaito was a simple electrician from Tokyo, living a quiet life with his European girlfriend, Lucy. He worked for their future—until the day he discovered her betrayal with an American who literally bled apple pie from every pore. Betrayed, humiliated, and with his dreams shattered, Kaito—blinded by rage—grabbed them both and dragged them under a truck that 'coincidentally' happened to be there. The result? Lucy and Nick were reborn as the Saintess and the Chosen Hero, while Kaito was reborn as Mordecai von Ravenloft, the devastatingly handsome Legendary Necromancer, born solely to entertain the live stream of the Higher Realms. The problem? Well... Kaito has read too many web novels and watched too much trash anime. He is painfully aware of everything surrounding him. And for that very reason, he will use the worst weapon imaginable in a poorly written, copy-pasted fantasy world: Logic and Bureaucracy. Kaito is gonna humiliate everyone in his own way, alongside a skeletal janitor named Larry, who communicates exclusively through thumbs-ups. If you want a noble hero, go read Nick's story. But if you want to watch a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown weaponize paperwork to prove how basic your tastes are—Welcome aboard. What to expect: Interactive story: the MC reads your comments—and may insult you for them. Junk-Food Progression: power through pure degeneracy and corporate horror, Dysfunctional Harem: no catgirls, only problems, Pure Spite: love conquers all… unless you exploit the source code, Fourth Wall Obliteration: Mordecai knows you’re reading this, Trope Satire: Mordecai hates every single anime trope, so expect him to be specifically angry, Psychological Trait: Everything here has a reason... maybe.
