To make matters worse, the stalker has a vendetta against him, one that leaves Silas mutilated in an alleyway by a dumpster and a half-eaten pizza from Antonio's Pizza Parlor. Death by a mysterious skull-faced titan was inevitable but only temporary. When he wakes up again, he is isekai'd to a fantasy world.

I had no idea that my life would succumb to this, a mysterious phenomenon in need of experimentation.
