When Raj Verma, an exhausted young man fresh out of college, finally fulfills his late father’s last wish, fate rewards him in the most ridiculous way: by dropping a 400-liter water tank on his head. His story should have ended there. Instead, as his consciousness rewinds through every memory in seven brutal minutes, Raj wakes up in a completely different era — Mumbai, 1987 — inside the body of a stranger named Rajendra Shakuniya. Confused, unprepared, and still mentally standing in 2025, Raj finds a glowing text-only virtual screen floating in front of him. Cheerful, playful, and utterly tone-deaf to his panic, the system greets him like an overexcited assistant: “Good morning, Host! Let’s rule the world!” In a world without smartphones, shortcuts, or safety nets… one young man from the future might become the most dangerous variable of 1987.

Summoned from Earth to a foreign world of magic and empires, the “Strays” — a group of teenage boys — were promised a new beginning. Instead, they were enslaved by the nobles who summoned them, treated as tools rather than people. Through pain, struggle, and loss, each of them found their own path to freedom — some through mercy, others through blood and escape. But freedom in this world is never simple. Haunted by their past and driven by the hope of returning home, the Strays set out on a journey across a land of war, politics, and magic — not as heroes, but as survivors seeking a way back to the world they once called their own. Their goal is clear: return to Earth. But the path home will test everything — their loyalty, their humanity, and the meaning of freedom itself.

The story of a trash prince who was banished from the palace at the age of 15 and died at the age of 31. He repeats his life exactly where he was banished and is killed again at the age of 31. Ultimately, his total number of repeats reaches nine times. He has tried various things, from being a merchant and an S-rank adventurer to helping reform his kingdom. Ironically, he is always killed by the same imperial queen all nine times at the age of 31, either directly or indirectly. In his tenth life, he intends to go directly to the queen, who was still studying at the academy as an imperial princess, not to kill her, but rather to help her and prevent a tragedy that would ultimately make her the cruelest queen. But when he enters the academy, he discovers new things he never knew in his nine lives, completely throwing his plans into disarray. Furthermore, the queen, nicknamed the "Cold Queen," holds more or less the same secret as himself. How will the trash prince fare in his tenth life with the Ice Queen who always kills him?

I’m ten years old—and a reincarnated person. After jumping through time, I’ve ended up living in a perfectly ordinary neighborhood in the Hidden Leaf Village. I’m single, attend the Ninja Academy, and make sure I’m home by 6:00 PM every day. I don’t smoke, I’m not interested in alcohol, and my favorite drink is Fat Otaku Sparkling Water. At the Academy, I do well in theory and hold my own in physical training. I go to bed at exactly 9:00 PM and always get a full eight hours of sleep. Before bed, I do twenty minutes of yoga to relax. Once my head hits the pillow, I’m out cold until morning. I sleep soundly, free from fatigue or stress. According to the doctors, I’m completely normal. Of course, I’m telling you all this just to make one thing clear— I don’t have any grand ambitions. After traveling through time, my only goal is to stay alive. I don’t dream of becoming Hokage. I don’t want to compete with prodigies or get involved in destiny nonsense. I don’t want pink eyes, nor do I want to be some “child of prophecy.” All I want is to live as a normal Konoha civil servant—filing paperwork in the archives, counting kunai in the equipment department, living a calm, plant-like life. Then one day, retire peacefully and collect my pension. That’s the life I, Hiroki Sawada, aspire to. … Ding Dong~ [Completing update, please don’t turn off your computer.
