Synopsis

John Doe was an ordinary guy. Was. Until he got killed in his sleep and transported to another world.

He is instantly dragged into a conflict that he manages to survive, and discovers that the people in this world have their fate already written in stone, dictated by narrative tropes. Just when he thinks he can have a break, a mystery surrounding his past refuses to leave him alone…

Coupled with the fact that he also learns— with the help of a mentor— that his existence is an outlier, he becomes determined to change the fate of those around him, no matter what…

…but when you’re told you can’t be a hero, or when you get killed trying, can you really keep going?

Note from author

Um, this manga subverts standard isekai with a twist!! Please read it! A lot is bound to change, though!
