He wasn’t reborn with talent or ability, but at least his knowledge from earth allowed him to stay one step ahead in this other world.

Magic exists here, and while science made rapid progress, magic stagnated in the name of tradition. He was able to do things that other wizards couldn’t even imagine by using his earthly knowledge and not being bound by traditional thinking.

Still, becoming an unwitting undercover professor for a mysterious secret society at the prestigious Sören academy was never on his to-do list! Will he be able to deceive both sides and survive through this conundrum?

“A protagonist is a person whom the world revolves around, someone who defeats all of his opponents, and ultimately gets the beautiful girl. The sole existence all villains fear.”

I’m a failed author who had only one success throughout his whole career and reincarnated into my late novel as a mob character. Even in this life, the world didn’t revolve around me.

As I was rejoicing the fact that I didn’t reincarnate as a protagonist because they are calamity magnets, I didn’t know I would later come to regret these words…

Will Harold be able to clear the survival route while avoiding the countless death flags in his way?!
