A Twist on the Usual Reincarnation Story
The story follows a main character who is just your ordinary, hard-working office worker in real life. But when he is inside the game world, he is a totally different person—a reckless player killer who absolutely loves role playing a villain in a different world. He finds a lot of joy in being far removed from his boring reality. Things take a massive turn when he suddenly wakes up and finds out he has been reincarnated into an actual fantasy world. He is given the name Crow and starts his new life right from being a baby.
Initially, Crow is very much filled with anticipation. He keeps wondering what kind of grand fate is waiting for him in this new life. However, the reality of living in a remote village is quite harsh. As he grows, his daily life is mostly filled with a very hopeless mood because things aren't as exciting as he thought they would be. But everything changes when Crow has a fateful encounter with a young demon named Sphere. This meeting is a huge turning point because Sphere imbues him with a mysterious and inhuman power that sets him on a very dark path.
