World of Veldora
In the vast world of Veldora, a land ruled by magic and sword, the planet itself dwarfed Earth beyond comparison. Continents stretched endlessly, skies swallowed horizons, and civilizations rose upon layers of ancient history.
Veldora was home to countless races.
Elves guarded their eternal forests.
Dwarves ruled the depths with hammer and flame.
Titans walked like living mountains.
Vampires reigned in the shadows of noble courts, while werewolves hunted beneath twin moons.
Beastkin thrived everywhere: tiger kin, lion kin, cat kin, fox kin, and many more.
And humanity,ambitious, spread across the world like wildfire.
In Veldora, magic was everything.
Status, power, life, and death were all decided by magic.
World Divine Academy
At the very center of this world stood an institution so powerful that even empires treated it with caution.
World Divine Academy.
The richest.
The most influential.
The most feared.
Geniuses from every race gathered there. Princes and princesses. Heirs of ancient noble houses. Children of merchant kings whose wealth rivaled nations. And among them, rare commoners whose talent alone forced the world to acknowledge them.
Resources were limitless. Knowledge was sacred. Power was cultivated without mercy.
To enter World Divine Academy was to stand on the stage of destiny itself.
Leon's Previous Life
Leon was just an ordinary man.
After exhausting days at work, he always returned home to one thing that kept him sane. A game he loved more than anything else.
A romcom fantasy game called Hero King's Harem.
He played it obsessively.
In the game, the player controlled the Third Prince, a man blessed by seven gods. Yet what made the game special wasn't just the protagonist. The heroines were powerful. The villains were terrifying. Even side characters could overturn entire story arcs.
It was a romcom on the surface.
But beneath it lurked betrayal, death, and horror.
Leon cleared the game completely.
He conquered every route.
Uncovered every secret.
And in the final ending, he personally killed the Seven Demonic Gods.
Satisfied, he logged off and went to sleep.
Reincarnation
When Leon opened his eyes again, he was no longer in his room.
He was a child.
A noble child.
After days of confusion, fear, and quiet observation, the truth struck him like lightning.
He had been reincarnated.
Not just into another world.
But into the very game he played last night.
And to make matters worse, he wasn't even the protagonist.
He was born as Leon Arcknight, the fourth son of a duke.
A background character.
A disposable noble.
Someone destined to be crushed by the main story.
As Leon tested himself, dread crept into his heart.
He had no elemental affinities.
No fire. No water. No wind. No light. No darkness.
In a world where magic defined worth, this was a death sentence.
"How am I supposed to survive," Leon thought, "in a romcom that's actually a horror game?"
Awakening
Then it happened.
A familiar, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding]
[You have awakened your classes]
Leon froze.
[Main Class: Omni Mechanic]
[Sub Class: Rune Monarch]
[Sub Class: Blacksmith]
Leon was flabbergasted.
"…Non-combat classes?"
In a world of swords, spells, and monsters, this felt like mockery.
But then, a memory surfaced.
A movie from his previous life.
IRON MAN.
A man with no powers.
No magic.
No divine blessings.
Only intelligence, will, and creation.
Leon's heart began to race.
"…No," he whispered.
"…This could work."
A Dangerous Idea
This was a medieval world.
The fastest transportation was an airship.
Second came steam-engine trains.
Then crude cars and horse-drawn carriages.
They had never seen a mecha.
And Leon was about to attend World Divine Academy, an institution overflowing with rare metals, ancient runes, lost knowledge, and limitless funding.
If magic was everything in this world…
Then he would build magic.
Not through spells.
But through systems.
Leon clenched his fists, eyes burning with resolve.
"I'll make something," he thought,
"that will shake this world to its core."
Steel would answer magic.
Runes would replace affinities.
And the world of Veldora would learn a terrifying truth.
A man without magic
could still become a nightmare.
