Deryll's POV
It was really hard to figure out my situation, I was still trying to deny the fact that I am possessing the character Deryll, but I figured that it was nothing but a waste of time and I accepted the fact that this is reality. So I calmed down and started to think about what I know about the world of Evocraze and the life of Deryll Katz.

Deryll Katz's Family situation
In this world Deryll Katz is the youngest son of the Katz family and he is hated by his 2 older brothers and his mother, they always bullies Deryll because of his lack of talent. His father, the Patriarch of the Katz family is one of the four Sword Gods in this world. His father never really shows much emotion and even though he has never verbally or physically abused Deryll but it's safe to say that the Patriarch also doesn't really like Deryll too much, as even after suffering bullying countless times from his brothers and his mother, the Patriarch never tried to stop them.

OVERVIEW OF THE EVOCRAZE WORLD
In this world there are basically 7 Final Bosses that we have to defeat in order to complete this game. The 7 bosses are Demon kings representing the 7 deadly sins. They all are extremely powerful. To maintain the power structure of this world, there are 6 powerful families and 1 mage tower. The families and the mage tower helps in producing countless genius characters who can oppose the demon kings and their forces. The heads of all the 6 powerful families and the mage tower are extremely strong and they are at the same level of a demon king, and among these powerful people is the character named Deryll Katz.

Deryll Katz's Personal situation
When he was born, everyone thought of him as a genius as he had talent for magic as well as swordsmanship. It was very rare for someone to be talented in both magic and swordsmanship and most of the people who had talents for both of them went on to become one of the strongest in this world and had their names cemented in the history. The heads of the 6 families and mage tower also have talent for both magic and swordsmanship.Everyone thought that Deryll will also become one of those geniuses but what happened afterwards disappointed everyone.
For some reason Deryll was not able to absorb any mana energy from the surrounding which was essential for a mage, he was also not able to bring out any Internal Qi from his body which was essential for a swordsman to use aura.

The people from the Katz family initially thought that Deryll might have an illness which was blocking the flow of mana and internal Qi but even after consulting from the best doctors in the world, no one was able to figure out the problem in his body. As more years passed everyone gave up on their expectations from Deryll and he was branded as the shame of Katz Family. Both of his brothers had good talent in swordsmanship and Deryll was slowly left all alone. Everyone in the family started to hate and bully him due to his lack of talent.

Deryll's POV
I recalled all the information about this world and Deryll's situation and sighed deeply. I was a bit angry that of all the characters in the game, I had to possess Deryll but now was not the time to think about it. I recalled that Deryll is someone who essentially lives with a time limit. Even after repeatedly playing the game no one was able to figure out how to stop Deryll's bad ending. The game Evocraze is primarily based in the Arcania academy, the best academy in this world where all the geniuses study. Deryll was somehow able to clear the entrance exam and was enrolled in the academy, but due to being pathetically weak Deryll eventually died in the 'First Act' of the game that happened in the academy.
I again sighed deeply thinking about it. If I am not able to unlock Deryll's hidden potential then there is no way to survive the first act of the game in the academy. Suddenly my thoughts stopped in place and I started sweating profusely...come to think of it how old is Deryll right now????!!!!!
After entering this world I was yet to check how old Deryll is right now, Deryll had to enroll in the he academy at the age of 16. If Deryll is already 15 or 16 right now then there is no way I will be able to stop Deryll's bad ending in time.
I quickly looked into the mirror again and realised that my troubles were unfounded. It looks like Deryll is 12 or 13 years old right now so that means that I have atleast 3-4 years to figure out the way to unlock Deryll's hidden potential and save Deryll and myself from the bad ending. Thankfully there was atleast one clue related to the way of unlocking Deryll's hidden potential. As Deryll Katz was the only character that professional gamers were not able to figure out the way of unlocking his potential, they naturally asked Evocraze's developers if it was even possible to unlock the hidden potential of Deryll or not. The answer that the developers gave was that it was indeed possible to unlock Deryll's hidden potential and the way to unlock it was in the Katz family's library.
I was extremely grateful to the developers right now as I atleast had some clue about how to unlock Deryll's hidden potential. But it did not really resolve the problem, the Katz family's library was huge with over 100,000 books. Even after the clue no one was able to find the correct book.
Now I don't really have a choice but to read all these books because I can't afford to die in a game. With all these things in mind I figured that I should start reading the books in the library as soon as possible. I got up from the bed to head towards the library but tragedy struck at this point.....
I had completely forgotten how weak Deryll's body was. After looking at the state of Deryll's body I figured that even if I am able to unlock Deryll's hidden potential, there is no way I'll be able to survive in this hellish world with this type of body. I changed some plans and decided to exercise regularly alongside reading the books so that I can bring this pathetically weak body to atleast an average male's body.....
This is how my story of surviving in this hellish world as the weakest character begins!
