Life always seemed to be working against me.
I grew up in a tight-knit but struggling household, crammed into a damp apartment where every drip from the ceiling echoed our hardships. School became my beacon of hope—my way out. But fate wasn’t kind. I lost a crucial scholarship to someone from a wealthier background. They didn’t need it, but their connections tipped the scales.
Unable to keep up with the crushing costs of college, I left. I took up managing a karaoke bar to support my family and kept telling myself that someday, things would get better.
Then, everything shifted on a random evening.
As I walked home, I was completely engrossed in a webnovel I loved: A Magician's Path. In that world, magical prowess determined your entire social standing. That’s when it happened—a car hit me.
I thought that was it for me. Yet, I woke up somewhere else.
I found myself inside the very universe of the story I’d been reading. A glowing interface hovered before me, identifying me as Dominic Eñerforte—just a 15-year-old boy. He had no mana whatsoever but boasted near-superhuman levels of luck and instinct.
This world was called Sylvestria, where life revolved entirely around magic. With no mana, I was already at the bottom of the ladder. However, I had one edge: I knew how events in this world were supposed to unfold.
Magic wasn’t everything—I could still shape my destiny. I’d always believed in the power of perseverance, and now I had an opportunity to test that belief in a world where dreams and nightmares collided.
