Not the Hero, Not the Villain — Just the One Who Wins

If I had rented that mana-beast carriage, I would’ve reached Hally Forest in five days. But no—genius me chose to walk. Fifteen days later, I finally stood at the edge of the dark green abyss they called a forest.

Was it a terrible decision?

Absolutely not.

In those fifteen days, I trained like a lunatic. Turns out, this body had monstrous mana but zero compatibility with the shadow element at first. And yet... thanks to the System’s earlier reward, the synchronization began. My core started merging with the shadow element.

Now?

I can cast spells like a proper mid-boss villain.

’System, show my stats.’
