Waking up as Ed Rothstaylor is a straight-up death sentence, especially when you realize this third-rate villain is destined to be kicked out of the academy and left to rot in the dirt. Stripped of his noble title and banished to the woods with nothing but his wits, the new Ed has one simple goal: stay under the radar, survive the winter, and graduate from Silvenia Academy with a degree that can actually buy him a future. But when you are building your own cabin and hunting for dinner, being a background character is a total nightmare—especially since the game's actual protagonists and legendary beauties won't stop crashing his campsite. From the lazy genius mage Lucy to the spirit-contracting powerhouse Yenika, the academy's elite are starting to realize that the man they once despised is now the most indispensable person on campus. He never asked to be the hero, but with the game's timeline shattering at his feet, Ed has to decide if his quiet life is worth more than the fate of the entire world. It is a desperate race to stay alive in a story that no longer follows the script.
