The Shadow of Protagonists: Rebirth in KonoSuba
Ruko Jizuko thought his life was nothing but ordinary—until the day it ended.
After a sudden accident, his soul drifts between worlds, drawn into a realm beyond death where fate itself bends. There, a mysterious sealer’s voice offers him a choice—one that sets him on a path across countless realities.
Reborn into the world of KonoSuba, Ruko soon discovers that every anime world he enters carries its own challenges, its own darkness, and its own heroes. From slayers and sorcerers to gods and demons, he must adapt, grow, and fight to uncover the truth behind the force that connects them all—the Shadow of Protagonists.
But as Ruko travels deeper through these worlds, one truth becomes clear:
Not every hero shines in the light… some are born in the shadows.
