Reincarnated as the Mastermind of the Story
物語の黒幕に転生して
Synopsis
Gamer Ren reincarnates into game world as baby, altering familiar story with past-life memories intact.
There was a globally popular game called "The Legend of the Seven Heroes." Ren, a dedicated gamer, cleared the sequel at the fastest record in the world and obtained bonus special data as a reward. However, he couldn't locate this mysterious data anywhere within the game. Just as he was about to give up, he decided to start a second playthrough. Suddenly, a notification appeared: "Do you want to start a special story?" When Ren selected "Yes," he lost consciousness and awakened as a baby in a new world. Now living in what appears to be the world of the game he once played, Ren finds himself with memories of his past life intact. As he grows up in this fantasy realm, he realizes he may have been reincarnated into the game's universe. But this world seems different from the game he knew - the people he meets and the choices he makes begin to create ripples that change the familiar story in unexpected ways. Now Ren must navigate this new life while wondering how his presence will affect the fate that was originally written in the game. (Source: Kakuyomu, translated)
