Karl's brutal life finally reached its end—or so it should have. Instead, he awakens in a world ripped straight from a childhood game he never finished. A soulslike world where death doesn't negotiate, every encounter can end in Game Over, and his single life is all he gets. No respawns. No save points. No mercy.
He remembers fragments—enough to know the world, not enough to survive it. Survival demands everything. Karl must forge himself into something harder, sharper, deadlier than his old self. Weakness gets erased.
Fate has crueler plans. Through circumstances beyond his control, he ends up on the wrong side—an enemy of the Hero's party, shackled to the doomed script every villain follows. Even if he survives, one truth looms: this world has only decades left before total annihilation. Killing the heroes only speeds it up.
The Last Days of Men—of all the worlds to get isekai'd into, why not a cozy farm simulator? Seriously, this must be a dream.
