Welcome to those discovering this story, and thank you to those already following the adventure. Before going any further, it’s important to set some expectations to avoid any confusion about what you’re about to read.

  Yes, this is an isekai. But not a disguised video game. There are no stat windows, no instant level-ups, and no magically unlocked skills.

  The world Veil finds himself in is real, with its own rules, dangers, and natural progression.

  This means that:

  ? Veil has no special advantage from the start; he begins as a regular human.

  ? He does not become strong in a few chapters. His evolution takes time, through learning, experience, and real combat.

  ? He can lose, be injured, or fail. Survival is a challenge, not a given.

  This story does not rush. Everything unfolds gradually, because a believable world isn’t built in ten chapters.

  ?? The beginning is deliberately slower to establish the atmosphere, stakes, and psychology of the characters.

  Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

  ?? The action, tension, and intensity increase over time as events unfold. When it’s time to speed up, we will. But never at the expense of realism.

  ?? Monsters are not easy prey. Some are simply unbeatable for Veil at the start (like the metal dragon he will encounter).

  This story does not hand out rewards for free. The darkness of this world isn’t there "just because it’s cool"—it has meaning and consequences.

  ?? Every event, every hardship, every decision has a purpose.

  ?? Love, relationships, and character psychology develop over time. No forced romance or generic harems.

  This story is planned for deep world-building with multiple interconnected arcs. It will not be finished in just a few volumes.

  If you’re looking for a story that takes its time to build a coherent universe, develops characters who evolve naturally, and delivers a well-paced progression, then you’re in the right place.

  If, however, you’re expecting instant level-ups, an omnipresent RPG system, or a simple plot where everything is handed to the protagonist, this story isn’t for you.

  Thank you to those who have the patience to follow this adventure. You are here for a story with depth, and your support is the greatest reward.
