A Nobody Who Hears the Voice — Starting a Cheat to Revive My Hometown
Makoto Kudou, sixteen years old.
An ordinary boy living in Sogo City, a fading town in the northern edge of J-Country.
Struck by a serious illness in his third year of middle school, he missed his chance at normal exams and ended up in a correspondence high school.
No friends. No youth.
His only escape was reading light novels, dreaming of a world where he might matter.
—Then, one day, a mysterious “Voice” echoed in his mind.
“Under the desk, on the right. A test paper has fallen.”
And it was true.
In that instant, Makoto was convinced: this was no coincidence.
This was a skill—fate’s power granted to a nobody like him.
Assignments, trivial choices, small human interactions…
Each little success piled up, and he began to trust in his “Skill.”
But it was not mere luck, nor divine blessing.
The reason he was chosen lies hidden in the shadow of his past illness.
Fantasy or miracle?
Guided by the “Voice,” this boy will one day become a necessary evil that reshapes destiny.
Set in the snowbound, fog-laden city of Sogo,
a dark fantasy of local revival begins here.
