My name is Kang Tae-hyuk.
Twenty-three years old
Unemployed
Virgin
Last achievement: reached Diamond IV in Solo Rank after 2,800 games (still got hardstuck)
Current net worth: 47,000 won (mostly in 1,000 won bills hidden in old game card sleeves)
And today… I died
Not in a cool way like sacrificing myself to save the world or getting betrayed by my best friend in a dramatic rooftop scene
I slipped on spilled ramyeon soup in front of a convenience store at 3:17 AM while trying to open a door with my shoulder because both hands were holding Cup Ramen + cola + two corn dogs
Thu
Crac
Darkness
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on cracked asphalt under a blood-red sky
「Welcome, Player Kang Tae-hyuk
「You have been selected for the 0.0000007% chance『Irregular Transmigration – Forced Entry』
「Main System forcibly activated due to death outside designated world parameters
A blue window floated in front of my face like an aggressive pop-up ad
「Would you like to view your Status?
"...Do I look like I have a choice?
『Status Window

The window suddenly flickered violently

I stared at the window for a good ten seconds
"...System-nim, are you okay?

I slowly raised my hand
"So… I can just write 'I am invincible'?
『Warning: The universe has a sense of humor
『Previous user who wrote "I am invincible" is currently a slime in the 87th layer of the Abyss
"...Okay, noted.
I looked around
Ruined city
Black rain falling upwards
Giant skeletons the size of apartments walking in the distance
A girl with pure white hair and a sword bigger than her body currently getting surrounded by six-armed demons
She looked like the classic "final boss disguised as heroine" template
I sighed
"System.
『Yes, tragic protagonist-nim?
"Show me the skill list.
A golden window exploded open

I stared at the skill list for a long time
Then I looked at the white-haired girl who was about to get bisected
Then back at the skills
"...System.
『Yes?
"I'm going to regret this, aren't I?
『With 99.999999% certainty
I cracked my neck
"Alright then.
I raised my hand toward the sky
And with the most dead-inside expression possible, I muttered
「Hold my corn dog.
The world went quiet for a second
Then
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM—!!
A pillar of pure chaotic nonsense erupted from my body
All six-armed demons instantly turned into fine red mist
The giant skeletons in the distance tripped over their own femurs
The white-haired girl's sword stopped mid-swing
She slowly turned her head toward me
Her eyes were shaking
"...Who… the hell… are you?
I scratched the back of my head, still holding an imaginary corn dog
"Uh… just a guy who wanted to eat ramyeon in peace.
A beat of silence
Then she muttered, almost against her will
"...Bullshit.
And that's how I, Kang Tae-hyuk
the most pathetic human to ever receive SSS-rank
