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

As usual, I was lounging in the sand, trying to figure out how to get more EP from doing something stupid.

Aizen the Doggo was chewing on a random bone he found in the desert, wagging his tail like an overgrown idiot.

But suddenly, inspiration struck me.

What if I could make a business out of this whole mess? I mean, who says an idiot Gillian can't be a business mogul?

(Translation: I'll open a bar!)

Aizen stopped chewing his bone and gave me a confused look.

I mean, I wasn't exactly a bartender material — just a giant, stupid skeleton — but hey, why not?

So, without much thought, I started gathering some random skulls, rocks, and hollowed-out bones scattered around Hueco Mundo.

(Translation: These will be my cups!)*

I didn't really know what I was doing, but I was going with the flow.

I lined up the skulls and set up a "counter" made of broken boulders.

I even found a few jagged bone shards to make what I guess could be called "chairs."

The place was… a mess, but a bar nonetheless.

(Translation: Now, I need customers.)

I roared into the endless void of sand, hoping someone would hear me.

And lo and behold, some Adjuchas heard my idiotic call.

A few of them appeared, watching me from the distance with curiosity.

"What's this idiot doing now?"

"No idea… but I'm curious."

Another Adjuchas joined the group.

They slowly crept closer, clearly unsure of what to make of my bar.

(Translation: Welcome to my bar! Drink up!)

I gestured grandly to the skulls I had lined up on my "counter."

The Adjuchas blinked, clearly unimpressed.

"What's this? A Gillian opening a bar? Are you serious?"

"Smells like nothing here."

But then… a strange thing happened.

One of them — a large, four-armed Adjuchas — picked up a skull and took a sip of air.

I guess he thought it was a drink.

"Huh… nothing. But it's free."

And just like that, the others started to join in.

They began to sip air from the skulls and pretend to drink.

Some of them even started doing it seriously, taking turns sitting in the bone "chairs" I made, while Aizen trotted around barking like it was some kind of social event.

This was going better than I expected.

The Adjuchas started talking to each other, discussing their favorite Cero techniques and Hollow evolution stories as if they were regular patrons in a real bar.

Then, just as I was basking in the glory of my success, one of the Adjuchas stood up and shouted:

"GUOOOH, IT'S A RIP-OFF!"

(Translation: This is a waste of time!)

And with that, they all left, one by one, grumbling.

[SYSTEM NOTICE: +420 EP for 'Survive Bar Attempt By Being Too Stupid to Fail']

[CURRENT EP: 25,260 / 1,000,000]

I might not have gotten customers to stay, but hey — I learned something new today.

Maybe I could open a real bar next time.

Or maybe I'd just go back to doing stupid stuff for EP.

Either way, I survived. And that's all that matters.
