When a 17-year-old gamer wakes up in the body of one of the most hated characters from his favorite RPG-Darian, the drunken, abusive father of the twin heroes-he's not just confused... he's horrified.
The world is grim, unforgiving, and very real. The man he's replaced is a violent failure of a father who, in the game's timeline, is destined to die at the hands of his own children. The problem? Those children are now clinging to each other in fear, and he's holding a bottle he doesn't remember picking up.
With no cheat powers, terrible stats (including negative mana), and only vague memories of game mechanics, he has one goal: rewrite the future.
He must earn the trust of the twins he was supposed to ruin, master forgotten skills through grit and repetition, and survive in a world that sees him as nothing more than a worthless commoner. There's no prophecy, no system guide, and no forgiveness for failure.
Can a burned-out soul trapped in the body of a villain become the father two future heroes need?
