Oh, hi, call me Ken and I don't even know the freakin' WiFi password! Then again, I don't think Isekai's never really have WiFi, so how did high school kids even survive for- oh yeah, OP powers and chicks, basically every protag-kun's w*t-dream. Yeah... I don't even have that going for me as well. Honestly if people even listen to my story, I'll be freakin' amazed! Either that or they could find anything else to do. To which I say: Stay strong, guys. Plenty of fish in the sea. Speaking of which, that's pretty much where this all begins. NOTE: Cover image will be replaced later on. I just did not want to have a trademark or AI gen cover.
