Da Nan remembered dying, or more precisely, that he was going to die.
He had always been different from other people. His memories were like saved game files, and whenever his mind got overloaded, he would delete some useless memories. That was why he learned so efficiently: his brain was always clearing out old saves.
Until one day, he woke up remembering only that he would die in six months, with no memories of how it would happen.
Had he died in such a hurry that he... forgot to save his game?!

Da Nan decided to find out what killed him and change his fate.
A tutorial, like one from a game, suddenly appeared in his mind. Following its instructions, he downloaded a horror game played by just 0.0000001% of users worldwide.
[Registering... Bzzzt... Bzzzt!]
After a terrifying silence, a low, hoarse male voice spoke:
[Da Nan, welcome back.]
He entered a world of missions filled with monsters, where reality-based scientific principles were mirrored in supernatural urban legends. To escape this bizarre world, he would have to understand its true nature.
But no one knew the truth, except the Da Nan who would die in the future.
Da Nan: Uh, thanks, but I'm not a savior. I just want to stay alive.
A line of text appeared in his mind: That's all right. I am.

In a bizarre, unpredictable laboratory, Da Nan looked at the doctor with the twisted face and smiled as he held up a set of scales.
"I hear the human soul weighs just 21 grams."
At a church at dusk, the sinister nun trembled as Da Nan held up a helmet glowing with holy light.
"They say if you put this on, you can see God."
Doctor and nun: Damn it, how does this kid know our weaknesses?!
*
Acid rain suddenly began to fall in the game.
A black umbrella opened above Da Nan's head. A handsome stranger with gentlemanly manners smiled. "Don't get wet."
Beneath the black umbrella, "Da Nan's" expression shifted, his gaze turning dark. Blood seeped from the man's heart as the young man grinned maniacally. "A shoddy imitation like you has no right to copy me."
One-strike, deranged fake reverse-harem male lead X Smart, strong, and clueless protagonist who only wants to survive
[1. Not a narcissism story.
2. The protagonist loses his memories at first, but gets them back later.
3. A wish-fulfillment story. The protagonist has a golden finger! Lots of swoon-worthy moments.
4. Inspired by Suddenly, Seven Days and Final Destination.]
