Hiroshi Tenshin was a programmer and an expert at playing PGsHe lived alone in his parents' house after they passed away and worked as a member of the IT team at a company.
One day, he was assigned to manage software at an office. However, tragedy awaited him on the way.
While driving on a seemingly empty road, Hiroshi sped his car at high velocity. Suddenly, another car appeared out of nowhere, leaving him no time to avoid it. That night, the accident claimed his life.
When Hiroshi opened his eyes, he was shocked to find himself in another world. He had been reincarnated, summoned by a goddess named Hikari.
The goddess gave Hiroshi a monumental task: to defeat the Demon King who threatened this world.
In this new world, Hiroshi met Aya Nakamura, a kind and highly talented elf healer. Together with Aya, Hiroshi began exploring this isekai world, trying to understand his role as the chosen hero.
Though reborn into a humble family in a small village, Hiroshi soon discovered he possessed unique abilities.
He realized he could use a special skill called Starlight Sanctuary. This skill created a bright protective light that, when cast upon someone, could cleanse their mind of confusion or negative influences. Additionally, it could save people from sudden death.
But that wasn't his only unique trait. Hiroshi also learned he had other mysterious skills that could only be unlocked after reaching certain levels.

One day, another person was reborn. His name was Akira Takahashi, born into a poor family in Elysium Village. His parents struggled to make ends meet, working tirelessly just to afford daily meals. His father, Yamato Takahashi, was a farmer, while his mother, Aiko, stayed home as a housewife.
"Father, look! Our first child has been born," said Aiko.
"Congratulations, you have a son," said NPC 1.
"He made it safely. I'll name this child Akira Takahashi. One day, he will become a great, strong, hardworking, and humble man," said Yamato.
"Eh… That's a wonderful name, my husband. Very well, his name is Akira," replied Aiko.
"That's enough. Don't stay up too late—it's time to rest…" said Yamato.
Several years later…
The next morning, Akira turned 9 years old. He began studying a magic book containing spells he wished to master:
- Chrono Reversal (Time magic allowing the user to manipulate time—accelerate, slow, or even reverse it) – Level 50
- Eternal Guardian (Ultimate protection technique emitting starlight, shielding the user and allies from any attack) – Level 40
- Eclipse Cataclysm (Destruction magic combining solar and lunar energy to unleash massive devastation) – Level 30
- Lux Lumina (Light magic for physical healing and enhanced vision) – Level 20
- Flamma Ignis (Powerful fire magic, capable of hurling fireballs) – Level 10
He needed to level up to unlock the mysterious skills at Levels 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 (the max level).
The next day…
Akira ventured into the Lumina Forest to train his primary skill, Starlight Sanctuary (Level 1), by fighting Goblin monsters. The forest also contained medicinal herbs for healing minor wounds. Akira used his skill on the goblins to improve it while gathering herbs to craft potions.
"Status Open," said Akira.

That day, Akira defeated a Level 5 Goblin, earning enough EXP to level up. Daily, he hunted Level 5 Goblins and fought the Level 10 Goblin Boss.
Minutes later, Akira discovered a dungeon deep in the forest—a mysterious place no one had ever explored. Determined, he decided to enter and investigate.
After slaying many goblins, Akira reached Level 15 and unlocked Flamma Ignis (Lv. 10) with 1 attribute point Still underleveled for new skills, he proceeded into the dungeon.
The next day…
Akira entered the dungeon alone, unequipped for its dangers. The dungeon had 100 floors, each with progressively stronger monsters.
On Floor 1, he encountered a Level 15 monster and fought it using Starlight Sanctuary, drastically improving the skill. With 20 attribute points in the skill, he easily defeated the monster, gaining significant EXP.
After clearing Floor 1, Akira leveled up to 20 and unlocked Lux Lumina (Lv. 20) with 1 attribute point.
"I'm going into the dungeon!!" shouted Akira.
"Huh? It's so dark here on Floor 1… But the wall torches light up as I walk."
"What kind of monster will appear here? Goblins? Undead? Whoa—it's a Level 15 Undead!" he thought.
"Alright!! I'll fight it to boost my skills and level!!"
"Starlight Sanctuary! Starlight Sanctuary! Starlight Sanctuary!!!"
After hours of battling, Akira finally defeated the undead and found the door to Floor 2.
"I'll continue my journey to Floor 2 tomorrow!!" he cheered, brimming with excitement.
"I made it to Level 20 on Floor 1 and unlocked a new skill—Lux Lumina!"
