Mijime na tensei

After dying in a meaningless robbery, Liam Kuro awakens in a world of magic, gods, and impossible power. Reborn as Soren Arclight, he believes he’s been given a second chance — a new life, a new world, and maybe even a new purpose.

He’s wrong.

Behind the scenes, the Sources — emotion-born beings who rule the world — play a twisted game known only to themselves. Every few years, they secretly select a single person to become their entertainment. Not a champion. Not a hero. A victim.

Soren is chosen for the Misery Games, a hidden divine spectacle where the goal isn’t survival or glory… it’s to ruin the chosen person’s life in the most creative, devastating ways possible. And the worst part?

Soren doesn’t even know he’s playing.

As he tries to navigate his new magical world, the Sources quietly pull strings, bend fate, and twist every moment of hope into despair — all for their amusement. Soren thinks he’s living his new life freely, but every step he takes is part of a cruel script written by gods who want to watch him break.

Mijime na Tensei is a dark fantasy isekai about a boy reborn into a world that was never meant to save him — only to destroy him.
