After venting about Riser Phenex’s wasted potential, an exhausted college student wakes up as the man himself—just days before his crushing defeat. Armed with nothing but modern knowledge and sheer desperation, he refuses to be the arrogant loser fate demands. If Issei gets plot armor, why can’t he? Now, Riser must break free from his scripted downfall, outplay the protagonist, and carve out his own destiny—before the story burns him alive.
