【Work Overview】

<INTRODUCTION>

Leon, a former office worker, is reincarnated into a "mob" character in a "fantasy world of swords and magic" that resembles an otome game.

In this world of extreme female superiority and male inferiority, his only remaining weapon is the "knowledge" of this game, which he was forced to play by his sister in his past life.

He tries to survive in this unreasonable world by using that knowledge.

Leon, who was supposed to be the protagonist surrounded by a group of handsome men, develops friendships with Olivia, and Angelica, who was supposed to be the villainous noblewoman who abuses her. Despite interference from Marie, who inexplicably occupies the protagonist position, he rises to the rank of Viscount.

However, as Leon significantly alters the flow of the game, the world begins to show subtle "distortions."

Selected for Marie's Holy Knight Guard after she becomes a Saint, Leon soon becomes entangled in a conspiracy that shakes the Kingdom of Holfort... .
