For five years, Harut did nothing except being immersed in video games and anime all the time. He had no life and no hopes for the future when suddenly a strange woman dressed in a crisp dress with a halo of light surrounding her appeared.

She congratulated Harut, informing him that he had been chosen to be reincarnated in a different world after a careful screening process. Harut is shocked at the turn of events, never having expected that, so he is stumped. That woman then explains to him how the world he’ll be born in will have magic, and he’ll also be given a cheat skill of sorts.
