Introduction
A “munchkin” is a TRPG (Tabletop Role Playing Game) player that has a strong command of the rules of the game and may at times purposefully exploit loopholes to their advantage.
High schooler Yukito Kirihara who loves TRPGs is in the middle of a TRPG game with his beloved younger sister Sana when he is suddenly attacked by a monster from another world and meets an untimely demise.
He is given the opportunity to reincarnate by a goddess Nephilia from the other world (Everworld) and by chance he discovers a description of Sana in Nephilia’s World Book (World Master’s Guide). In order to search for his precious younger sister in the other world he steals the World Book and is reincarnated.
“Unless I become a munchkin, I won’t survive in this world.”
Being a munchkin is a means to surviving in this harsh other world. So begins a TRPG adventure story where a strong will and the dice decide your fate!
