Synopsis

He needed a sword. The system gave him a pen.

Klaid is a former kendo prodigy who treats VR as a ruthless economy, optimizing every second to pay for his mother's medical bills. To him, Crown of Destiny is a spreadsheet to be solved.

But his cold efficiency backfires on launch day. By exploiting a lore paradox, he is cursed with the one thing he can’t understand: the Legendary Poet class.

It is a power-gamer's nightmare. The class relies on the very thing Klaid discarded long ago: emotion. Now, trapped between a dying mother in reality and a useless class in-game, Klaid must do the impossible. He must learn to feel again.

Not to heal. To turn anguish into DPS.


Warning:

The story is told through Klaid’s perspective. Initially, the prose reflects his worldview: cold, transactional, and hyper-logical. As the story progresses and his class forces him to engage with art and emotion, the narrative voice will evolve with him.


What to Expect:
Rational Protagonist: No deus ex machina. Problems are solved through logic and exploiting game mechanics.
Hybrid Combat: High-level Kendo skills meet reality-warping word magic.
Logic-Based Magic: Spells (or rather, poems) reward semantic understanding rather than brute force.
Narrative Crafting: Forging items by rewriting their lore and history.
Permanent Consequences: The MC permanently alters the game content.
Progression: OP to weak to strong to OP
No Harem.

Release Schedule: 3ch/week (M-W-F usually)
