One day, when his body finally wasn't able to bear any more, he died and reincarnated in a new world where mana had awakened and a strange and all-powerful entity called Absolute Order had appeared. The world, fighting against the invasion of Abyssal creatures, was a dangerous place to be in, but thankfully for him, he was one of those lucky ones who had a class. Although weird, it gave him powerful skills to survive and grow stronger in this new world—not just grow stronger, but also find the meaning and purpose of his existence.

This ain't my first rodeo in space after all! Except... Apparently my crew members are weird? The guy who bumped into me yesterday was found sliced up and floating outside the space station.
