Darryl was never meant to be reincarnated in a fantasy world. A misfit thrown into an NPC class to patch an error, he now lives as Lyle, a humble dungeon guide and porter. Though content with his quiet role, he can’t help but wonder if this is all he is worth. Other otherworlders wield systems, skills, and magic. Lyle’s fate is capped, his strength destined never to rise beyond level 20 monsters.

During the sacred Heartforge Convergence, when the goddess’s crystal Aegisheart reclaims its blessings to assign each child their true role, the unthinkable happens. The Grand Hero, the savior once revered by all succumbs to madness and unleashes chaos upon the festival itself. Lyle tried to defy fate and fight back, but all was lost. Left alive only to grieve, he makes a vow: not to save the world, not to be its hero, but to shatter the betrayer’s ambitions. For Lyle, justice now means revenge, crushing the so-called Hero and his party until nothing remains.
