Synopsis

A 34-year-old NEET who lived an unremarkable life in our world is kicked out of his home after his parents’ death with no skills which could make him capable of living independently. He has crippling social anxiety and doesn’t appear even to have friends when he sacrifices himself to save kids he doesn’t know.

Luckily for him, his death is quick and painless, as is his reincarnation into Rudy – a child born into a fantasy world where there is magic, demons, Gods, and more. Then, to boot, he not only has magical abilities, but also abilities beyond the average person – but this by no means makes his life any easier as he brings some of his trauma, struggles, and perverted nature, into his new life.
