Dran has wasted his entire life in the pursuit of his parents. Death awaits for him now, but he's had a secret. For as long as he could remember, there's been a voice in his head. Tormenting him, always. Yet this time, it's come with a promise. At the end of the tunnel, there will be the answers he's always wanted. All he needs to do is step forward, and...jump off a damn building!? Well, what does he have to lose? He's never learned to live. Might as well die. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself neither in Hell nor Heaven. A whole new world awaits. Two suns hanging overhead and casting a soothing light. Eldritch Beasts prowling at night. But he quickly learns that he's been living in a cave this entire time. The universe is populated by a myriad of species, be they familiar or not quite so. Now stuck amidst countless other dead souls like him, Dran will have to search for his answers yet again. With magic and other powers, now his to claim. And with the most random people he can find to join him in his journey. If only this world would stop constantly trying to murder him. Is that a mage...Wearing sports' clothes? _____________________________________________________________ What to expect: - Weak to extremely strong MC. - Slow burn in the first arc. - A dark undertone. - Expansive worldbuilding. - Progression through boss-like creatures.
