PEAK: ACADEMY REINCARNATION X REGRESSION

Author: Evil worm

John Niagobert, a third-year college student, died during a class trip after being pushed into a cold, rocky river as a prank. The freezing water dragged him down, and his life ended in darkness. But death was not the end. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the world of a novel he once loved—a story he had read countless times. Yet now, it was no longer fiction. It was real, cruel, and far more dangerous than he remembered. Worse, he wasn’t the protagonist. John had taken the body of William Vixxon, a minor character the author barely explained. The novel revealed almost nothing about the WEST, about William’s past, or about the life he was supposed to live. He had no allies, no knowledge, and no safe path forward. He woke inside a nearly collapsing house, in a land where survival itself was uncertain. The only things he gained in this new life were a useless system and a regression ability. In a world filled with monsters, warriors, and powerful nobles, they were hardly enough to keep him alive. Yet he had no choice. If he wanted to survive, he had to escape his current fate and reach the Royal Academy—the only place where he might stay safe in this merciless world. But in a story where he barely exists… How long can he survive before the world erases him completely?
