Surviving as the Academy’s Weakest NPC Novel

Reincarnated as Theo, the weakest presence at Lapis Academy, a gamer with ten years of experience suddenly inhabits their most disposable NPC. With a master-class professor as his father and inherited privilege as a safety net, comfort should have been assured. The world had other plans—it collapsed entirely, forcing a game reset. Suddenly conscripted into the Academy as a real student, invisibility becomes the desperate strategy. It doesn't work. The game's protagonist seems magnetically drawn to him, dragging him through calamity after calamity. Armed with a single cryptic tool—the seemingly worthless "Author's Unique Skill"—he must navigate an unforgiving nightmare-difficulty world where even veterans lack advantages. In a game built to grind him to dust, can sheer determination and one useless power be enough for survival?
