Kenta Shibasaki was your average, hopelessly dumb high schooler — until he died in the world’s stupidest accident.

Reborn in the desolate wasteland of Hueco Mundo as a hollow, his future looked grim… until a bizarre system appeared. This strange power grants him Evolution Points (EP) for doing the most ridiculous, idiotic things imaginable. From talking to rocks to challenging cacti to duels, Kenta’s absurd antics somehow make him stronger.

Armed with nothing but sheer stupidity and an unbreakable will, Kenta sets his sights on the impossible: to evolve into a Vasto Lorde and survive this brutal world of monsters and madness.

In a land where only the strong survive, one boneheaded fool might just rise to the top.

I Died and Became a Hollow, But I Get Stronger by Being an Idiot

The next day — or maybe the next hour. Or next year?

Who cares. Time doesn't exist in Hueco Mundo anyway.

I was once again wandering the endless, white desert, my massive Gillian feet leaving deep craters in the sand with each step. My EP meter was inching forward, but a million points? That number still felt like an impossible joke.

Current EP: 18,740 / 1,000,000

I needed something big. Something dumb. Something so outrageously stupid it might just net me a fat EP payout.

Not just any dune — the biggest damn sand dune I'd ever seen in my endless, confusing Gillian life.

It stretched high into the endless dark sky like a giant white wave, daring me.

I felt my nonexistent lips curve into a grin beneath the bone mask.

New Stupid Idea Unlocked: The Sand Slide of Death.

Without hesitation, I climbed the side of the dune. It took a while — Gillians aren't exactly known for their speed or grace, and I slipped three times, flattening a few unfortunate tiny Hollows along the way. Not that I noticed.

At the top, I took a deep, dramatic breath for no reason, since I didn't have lungs.

A six-story Gillian surfing down a sand dune on his stomach.

The sand erupted around me like an avalanche, my heavy body carving a deep, fast-moving trench through the desert. Hollows scattered, some screaming, some staring, some just too dumbfounded to react.

Current EP: 19,390 / 1,000,000

Yes! Another big one!

I was grinning like a maniac now, sand flying into my mask holes as I slid faster and faster. The desert was a blur.

And then — naturally — a huge boulder popped up right in my path.

Full speed ahead.

"GGRRROOOOHHHH!!!"

I slammed into the boulder, causing an explosion of sand, rocks, and one very confused Gillian.

I tumbled end over end, landing in a twisted heap of limbs and sand several meters away.

Current EP: 20,010 / 1,000,000

I lay there, head buried halfway into the sand, limbs twitching.

Off in the distance, I heard muffled voices.

I peeked up from the sand, my mask half-buried like a stupidly large ostrich.

They stood there, silent as always, watching me with a mix of disbelief, curiosity, and mild horror. One of them whispered something to the leader again, probably debating if I was cursed.

"They'll see… one day this idiot's gonna be a Vasto Lorde."

Not because of power, hunger, or genius.

But because of sheer, unstoppable stupidity.

I'd probably trip and fall into that evolution by accident too.
