There is always a moment, in life, when you suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, have an existential crisis.

What is my place in life?

Will I matter?

Will I affect anything of importance?

Is this overly dramatic start of a webnovel really necessary?

This is called 'The Awakening.'

Whether you sought the awakening, or the awakening sought you, it didn't matter. 

There are many ways people react to this. Whether as an optimist, a pessimist, or a normal human being, how you react is everything. 

Now, some become depressed, debating whether there was a point in living, but not suiciding anyways. Some conclude that this meant that they had to make the best of their lives, only to be smashed by truck-kun and isekaied. Some just accept the truth and move on. Some realize the state of equilibrium between darkness and light, only to realize they were the unfortunate souls who had all the bad luck dumped onto them.

It was a very convenient plot device for character development.

Kayden had his awakening at the age of 11.

It was not what he would describe as a 'pleasant' experience.

It was less like 'he sought the truth to obtain the divine peace of mind,' and more...

Slapped in the face with a forceful epiphany.

Literally.

Kayden Zardiac, at the tender age of 11, had yet again wandered into his room, only to find a naked girl changing. He saw a blur of a fist as crimson blood spurted out.

As his world slowly faded to black, he thought one word.

The word that would trigger his awakening.

The one word that would change his world.

To be honest, it was two words.

Tsundere? Really?

And then, it all began.

The almost incomprehensible thoughts swirled around his head, at the speed of a hummingbird heart on enough caffeine to killed 10 veteran overworked office workers.

Wow, that was an analogy.

He was isekai'd.
