After a sudden death caused by my own ridiculous bad luck, I reincarnated into the world of a grim, brutal, medieval dark fantasy novel as Ernst von Sturm, the third son of a noble family in an empire aiming to unify the world, but fated for total defeat. ​Knowing all too well that my faction is doomed to fall, and determined not to die a pathetic death for the second time, I have only one simple goal: secure a quiet position, avoid conflict, and retire in peace before the apocalypse arrives. Unfortunately, fate has a twisted sense of humor. ​Every time I try to run away from trouble, my sheer misfortune drags me straight into the heart of a massive crisis. The panic I show is mistaken for the absolute calm of a master; my random words are parsed as profound truths with hidden meanings; and my desperate retreat tactics are hailed as unreadable, genius military strategies.
