Memoir of the archivist

Alexander Hayes was a middle-aged salaryman with an average face, a boring job, and no attachments. Life was monotonous, but he endured it with anime, manga, and webnovels to keep him entertained. Then one night, after an unlucky encounter with a speeding truck, his routine existence came to an abrupt end. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a new world—one where mana exists and magic shapes society. His new identity is Edmund Whitaker, a poor-talented student at the prestigious Lustria University of Magic. Looked down upon, ignored, and destined for mediocrity, Edmund’s life was supposed to be pitiful and short. But Alexander isn’t just Edmund. Along with his transmigration, he has gained a mysterious ability tied to memories—something this world has never seen before. Armed with knowledge, sarcasm, and a newfound excitement for life, Alexander steps into this magical world determined to carve out his own path. Magic, mysteries, and danger await him in Lustria. For the first time in a long time, he isn’t bored. He’s alive. Truly alive.
