Just how much will his knowledge change this world? Only time will tell. Overhaul in progress -->The story will continue, but there will be some major changes: 1. The narration style will be adjusted to have a third-person point of view. 2. Characterization will be improved. 3. The worldbuilding and magic system will be further developed. These "repairs" to the story are necessary for smoother plot progression. It may take some time, but I aim to complete at least one chapter a day so the story can resume as soon as possible. Apologies for the long hiatus; there’s still much to cover plot-wise, and I hope the story will continue soon.

Throughout his life he's always wondered if maybe the reason world hates him was because he had the audacity to exist. But through a series of events he met his best friend and was introduced to a series of games where he found his spark of resilience to carry on in life in a character named Markus one of the main antagonists of the book. And ten years later he's a university student, dormmates with his best friend and is just about to finish getting his degrees. He'd also just finished playing the third installment in a his favorite video game franchise All was going well in life, things were looking up until in one cruel twist it was over, no fanfare, no "going out with a bang", Kazuki's life just fizzled out like a candle in the wind. Curiously though, Kazuki's story was not over as he found himself in the body of "Markus" at the start of his story. How will this strangely ironic twist of fate change the world at large? And more importantly how will it change our main character?
