Synopsis

In a world where a skill system is impractical, horrific eyeless monsters roam the land, and a world that completely ignores the logic of the isekai genre, Theo Miller, a homeless gamer from New York gets teleported to another world after getting struck by lightning. How? He was running from loan sharks that gave him an ultimatum and jumped off a roof out of spite.

Upon waking in the world of eternal rain, Theo is chosen as The Rain Wizard purely by cosmic cruelty. He doesn't want it, but he's learned to deal with life's punches. As the Rain Wizard, he must get rid of the Eyeless threat and bring back the sunshine.

He left a life of misery to a world that embodies it, and just like how he didn't wallow in misery before, he refuses to live in a world that does it for him.

A dark fantasy grounded in an absurd reality, The Homeless Gamer uses goofy and deadpan humor to cover the cracks of tragedy and horror.

Also bird poop.

Note from author

Chapter 0 is the longest chapter. The rest aren't as long. Will post updates and schedule here. I will polish the chapters soon to fix punctuation and spelling errors.

UPDATE: Next Chapter almost done. Had some work pop up. I'll be on a short trip from October 28th to November 5th. I'll try to finish the chapter either on the flight or when I get back.

This story blends emotional realism with isekai and gaming satire, turning common isekai tropes on their head while following a protagonist who isn't a standard hero, not overpowered, and cosmic misfortune aims to get him at every turn. The only isekai protagonist trait he has is he's too stubborn to stay down. If you ever laughed because something awful happened to you because it was the only option left, you'll probably relate to Theo.
