The Academy’s Misunderstood Monster
Kenzie Anderson was a genius theory professor on Earth, a man who preferred equations over people and a quiet life over recognition. His life ends abruptly when he dies saving a stray cat from an oncoming truck… only to discover that the cat was actually the god of another world.
As a reward, he is reincarnated into the fantasy world of Avalon, the very setting of a web novel he once read.
Unfortunately, it is not a peaceful world.
It is a story of heroes, demons, wars, and catastrophic battles… and the plot is still unfinished.
Reborn as a frail orphan named Yorio, he resolves to avoid danger at all costs. His goal is simple: live quietly, stay out of the main story, graduate from the prestigious Astraea Combat Academy, earn a stable job, and support the orphan siblings who believe in him.
He has no interest in glory.
No desire to become strong.
No intention of meeting the protagonist, Cedric, the destined hero who will one day fight the Demon God.
Yorio wants only one role:
A background character who survives.
But from the moment he enters the academy, everything goes wrong.
His natural blank expression is mistaken for terrifying composure.
His awkward silence is interpreted as cold confidence.
His attempts to avoid fights look like deliberate restraint.
His accidents appear as flawless techniques.
When a training automaton is destroyed after he trips, rumors spread that he defeated it instantly. When the academy’s strongest third-year challenges him, a series of mishaps leaves the senior unconscious — convincing everyone that Yorio possesses overwhelming hidden power.
Soon, whispers echo through the academy:
• The orphan who survived an impossible disaster
• The boy who defeated Rank #1 without effort
• The emotionless prodigy
• The monster hiding his true strength
In reality, Yorio is weak.
Painfully weak.
Until the day he awakens a mysterious ability:
The Pain Ascension System
The more injured he becomes, the stronger he grows.
Broken bones grant immense strength.
Severe wounds unleash terrifying power.
Near death transforms him into something monstrous.
But the pain is real.
The risk of death is constant.
And once he heals, the power fades.
To survive the brutal academy — and the catastrophic future he knows is coming — Yorio must endure suffering he never wanted, all while being feared as a monster he never meant to become.
Meanwhile, the true protagonist, powerful nobles, secret organizations, and even inhuman forces begin to take interest in the mysterious boy who insists he is weak… yet leaves destruction in his wake.
In a world that mistakes fear for strength and silence for menace, Yorio walks a dangerous path between obscurity and legend.
Because sometimes, the most terrifying monster…
…is simply the one who refuses to be the hero.
