Elijah takashi was your basic shut in otaku, he'd barely go out, only to work at his father's convenience store (which was ran bellow his parents apartment.)

He'd wake up, take a shower, work, go back upstairs to his messy room filled with anime figurines and manga and 90s anime DVD's.
Wash, rinse, repeat...

It was like that for three years.

But then he suddenly he got a terminal illness, and in less then three months he lost his life, on his death bed he realized he waisted his life, and begged God for a second chance.
And so he got one.
He was reincarnated into another world!
Yes! This was the ultimate second chance, here he could not only live a new life, but he'd become an overpowered hero, get a harem filled with hot girls!, slay monster's like an absolute legend!

that's what anime told him at least. Spoiler alert. No.
He has no power, And cant even speak the language, he ends up broke, homeless, and alone. But when all hope seamed lossed, Joshua found him.
