Chronicles of the broken compass

Ryo died in the most pathetic way possible: run over by a Prius right after bombing a job interview.

And as if that wasn’t humiliating enough, he reincarnates in a fantasy world… with a broken compass hanging from his neck.



Yes, you read that right: no legendary swords, no hidden magic, no auto-generated waifus.

Just a talking compass with a mind of its own that changes direction whenever it feels like it.



Today it points to a sacred temple?

Tomorrow, a ruined tavern infested with alcoholic slimes?

The day after? Who knows. Not even the compass seems sure.



But as he runs from flaming wolves, argues with recycled bandits, and unlocks skills with names like "Courage I: now you scream with more dignity,"

Ryo starts to suspect this ridiculous compass might hold the key to returning home…

Or to something much worse: becoming a real hero.



A light novel packed with magic, absurd humor, questionable decisions, and a protagonist who never asked to be here (but is definitely going to complain about everything anyway).
