the crawling one
Nakamura Hitomi, a third year high school delinquent, spends his days intimidating weaker students and causing trouble wherever he goes. But when he targets the wrong person, his life takes a sudden and unexpected turn.
Without warning, Nakamura is pulled into a mysterious RPG-like world and transformed into a powerful avatar body unlike his own. There, he learns that he is one of many contestants known as the Vagabonds, individuals chosen from different worlds and thrown into a brutal tournament with only one winner.
The prize awaiting the champion is the Fate Book, a legendary artifact capable of turning anything written within its pages into reality. Wealth, power, revenge, immortality, or even the rewriting of history itself, nothing is beyond its reach.
But victory comes at a terrible cost. To claim the Fate Book, the Vagabonds must hunt and kill one another until only a single contestant remains. In a world filled with monsters, magic, ancient ruins, and deadly secrets, alliances are fragile and betrayal lurks around every corner.
As ruthless competitors fight for their deepest desires, Nakamura is forced to confront his own flaws and question the kind of person he wants to become. What begins as a struggle for survival soon turns into a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and sacrifice.
In a tournament where fate itself is the ultimate prize, every Vagabond has a reason to fight.
