I was just an ordinary boy.Not a hero, not the chosen one, not someone the world was waiting for. Unlike many others, I didn’t die a noble or dramatic death.I died in the most ridiculous way possible:a fish bone got stuck in my throat, and I choked to death. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a world where the author had no mercy for main characters.Heroes died brutally, nobles fell apart, and happy endings were reserved only for the lucky few. In this world, the so‑called “Hero of Virtue,” Henry Flor, has a harem, magic, power, and a cliché happy ending. But me? I had no system,no goddess watching over me,no miraculous power dropping into my hands,no noble blood,not even a simple spell. I reincarnated as Tom Breach —a church gardener, a background character, someone who was supposed to die early in the original story. This isn’t a tale about heroes. This is my story. The story of Tom Breach Status: 46 chapters completed. Fast release for the first few days, then 2 chapters per wee
