The Groundskeeper Who Wouldn’t Die

Leon needed medication to quiet a mind that never stopped calculating disasters.

Then he woke in a world where magic decides who lives long enough to matter.

Leon arrives at a great magic academy with a weak mana core, no family name, and a job as a groundskeeper. While others inherit power, wealth, and ancient legacies, he'll have to build his future from whatever everyone else throws away.

His mind isn't prophecy. It simply refuses to stop asking what could go wrong. Loose wards. Flawed rituals. Dangerous bargains. Tiny mistakes no one notices until they're fatal.

That habit keeps him alive.

It also makes him impossible to stop preparing.

Forgotten herbs become potions. Broken relics become opportunities. Failed formulas become better methods. If something still has value, Leon will find it.

Because in this world, the strongest people never waste anything.

Least of all, other people.

Leon has no intention of becoming someone else's resource.

He'll hide when he's outmatched. Run when victory costs too much. And when there's nowhere left to run...

He'll make sure someone else dies first.
