Non-Otaku Tried His Best to Survive

Hyejun, a twenty-year-old Korean-Japanese man with no connection to anime or its cultures, is torn from his ordinary life and thrust into a fabricated existence within a chaotic fusion of anime worlds. His journey begins in the zombie apocalypse of High School of the Dead. Gifted by an unknown entity with instant proficiency in combat and languages and guided by a mysterious system, his mission is simple: survive and ensure the survival of key figures in this collapsing world. Armed with a calm, reliable demeanor and an eye for minute details, Hyejun must navigate a world of horror and desperation. He is not an otaku hero; he is a pragmatic survivor, whose very presence begins to alter the story's original flow. As he fights to protect those around him, he discovers the first reward for his efforts: a private Pocket World, a sanctuary from the chaos meant to become a home for those he chooses to protect. This is the beginning of a slow-burn harem, a tale of romance, drama, and slice of life amidst multiple apocalypses, as Hyejun builds bonds and a future, one world at a time.
