Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

Ichirou Suzuki, a programmer nearing thirty, is pushed to the brink by relentless deadlines. When he finally drifts off, he wakes to find himself inside a fantasy RPG world that feels eerily familiar—stitched together from the games he was debugging. Even his identity has shifted: he’s younger, and he’s now known as Satou, the beta-test nickname he once used.

Before Satou can make sense of the change, he’s attacked by a lizardman army and responds with an overwhelming spell that annihilates them. The aftermath leaves him at level 310 with maxed-out stats and an arsenal of abilities—yet no clear path back home. With power far beyond an ordinary adventurer, Satou begins traveling through the new world, taking in its magic and mysteries as he searches for what comes next.
