Warning! This series covers sensitive topics such as self-harm and suicide. Reader descresion in heavily advised. An average college student finds himself in a new world with no fanfare. He assumes he must be the overpowered hero of this new foreign world, but fate is not so kind. Unable to speak the language and knowing nothing of the laws or political environment of this world, he must figure out what he must do just to survive. Unbeknownst to him, he does obtain one power that will help on his quest, though it acts just as much of a curse as it is a blessing. --------------- Hello! This is my first writing project ever, so please forgive any grammar or spelling mistakes. I wrote this in bouts of insomnia and started to get hooked on making this a real story. I will be releasing 1-2 new chapters a week!What inspired me to write this. I thought the isekai genre had a lot of potential and that was being squandered by sterotypical power fantasy. I wanted to explore what would more realistically happen if you took just an average guy and threw them into a completely foreign world. I will say, there is very obviously one isekai in general that inspired me to write, though I made sure to make this my own project with my own characters in my own world. Hopefully you enjoy! Let me know what you think, and thank you much for taking the time to read my work! Character Art by Geshiro Paperguy
