Chapter 1 - The Hero

You know those stories where you get chosen by God to save His world from the wrath of the Demon King? Where you find friendship, camaraderie, bonds, and relationships? Those stories where you gain skills and magic beyond your wildest dreams, stories meant to give you hope and convince you that you were always destined to be somebody?

I despise them.

They rip you out of your life without consent, without warning, without mercy. They don't ask if you're willing. They don't care what you leave behind. Family, dreams, a future, all of it becomes collateral damage the moment they decide their world matters more than yours. They dress it up as divine will, as fate, as honor, but it is nothing more than cowardice.

They cannot save themselves, so they sacrifice you instead. They kidnap a stranger from another world, shove a weapon into his hands, and demand gratitude for the privilege of suffering in their place. And when you break, when you bleed, when you die for them, they call it heroism.

What a convenient lie.

My name is Luca, Luca Delgado.

I was no one special… except that I was chosen. Gifted with power beyond imagination. Magic flows through me effortlessly, stronger and more natural than anything anyone could train for. But raw power is meaningless without control. And control is where I excel.

I see magic the way I've always seen circuits: energy streams, connections, nodes, feedback loops. My hands, trained for wires, tools, and broken machines, bend it, reroute it, shape it into patterns no one else would think of. This isn't just spellcraft—it's engineering the impossible, turning the gift I was given into something precise, dangerous, and entirely my own.

I move carefully. I observe. I test. I fail. I try again. Every mistake could kill me, but every success teaches me something no classroom could have. I am a stranger in this world, forced into a role I never wanted, and yet every challenge reminds me that survival—my survival—depends not on destiny, but on cunning, skill, and the willingness to bend reality itself.

And I will survive.

Because this world stole my life, and I intend to take it back on my own terms.
