Q: Can’t I fall in love with the heroine of the game… I feel like I spent more time in that world than in the real world.... more>>

A boy, abandoned by his parents, became absorbed in the world of video games.

“Knight of The Giant” is a globally popular title.

So much so that he became the world champion of the VR robot fighting game. He devoted his entire youth to the game, even falling madly in love with the two heroines of the game.

But only one of them could be saved.

“I lost one of them in this shitty scenario.

I want to save them both.

Even if it’s a predetermined scenario.”

It was this obsession that made Kenya complete a quest that had been deemed impossible. With the manipulation skills he devoted his youth to, Kenya creates a new route for the heroine who has fallen madly in love with him.

Suddenly, a congratulatory message appeared on the screen.

“Congratulations on a fantastic victory!

NEW route has been released, would you like to try it?”

Yes

No.

And so the story began.

The story of a socially awkward high school student who is just good at games. A boy who could have been a hero if the world had been different.

“Good Luck!”

With that message, the vision went dark.

.

.

When I woke up, I was standing in the world of “Knight of the Giant” game. The flag flying over the school where the game takes place. But they were not flying the Japanese flag.

At that moment, Kenya remembered the setting of the game.

“…Right, Japan in this world. It is being invaded.” <<less

I don't read the manga so I don't understand the context but from googling, it seems either it's literally he has good balance, has good physical or technique all around, or able to handle anything. <<less

“Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?”

I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it.

Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here? <<less
