Synopsis
He said it out loud. Just once. A simple boast over a late night reading session. “I could totally be better than the main character.” Nothing serious. Just a reader’s arrogant daydream.
But something was listening.
An ancient Eldritch entity heard his claim and decided to take it personally. No warning. No second chances. The next thing he knew, he was ripped from his world and thrown into the pages of the very novel he had been reading.
Reincarnation. A fresh start. This should be his moment to shine. Armed with foreknowledge of the plot, he could easily surpass the original main character and become the true hero of the story.
Then reality punched him in the face.
He is not alone. Five other reincarnates have been dropped into the same world. Five other readers who also know the plot. Five other competitors who all want to surpass the MC just as badly as he does.
But the nightmare does not stop there.
The main character is not following the original story anymore. Somehow, impossibly, the MC has become a regressor. He has lived through this timeline before. He remembers everything. He knows every trick, every hidden treasure, every future betrayal. And he is not about to let a bunch of arrogant reincarnated readers steal his destiny.
The script is gone. The rules have changed. The MC is no longer a predictable puppet moving along a fixed path. He is a living, breathing, time traveling menace who will crush anyone who gets in his way.
Six reincarnates. One regressor MC. Zero guarantees.
He wanted to surpass the main character. Now the universe is going to make him earn that claim with blood, sweat, and maybe a few broken bones. The only question left is whether he will rise to the challenge or become just another footnote in the MC’s regressor legend.
