BACKGROUND



Rudeus was a 34-year-old NEET otaku in his previous life. As the fourth child of five children in a well-off family, he was praised as a bright student in elementary school considering his age. In junior high, he joined the computer club and and saved up his allowance to assemble his very own computer. However, he was focused on tinkering his computer so much that he neglected his studies. In high school, he was a victim of severe bullying that resulted in him dropping out: he was in line to buy lunch when a person cut in front of him. He gave a piece of his mind but it turns out the person was an upperclassman, who beat, hung up naked, took and distributed pictures of him, and nicknamed him "Pencil Dick". His family tried to encourage him to go back to school, but he brushed them off. There was at least one classmate whom he had a good relationship with who came by everyday to deliver homework. However, he pushed him away too when he also tried to get him to return to school


He continued being a shut-in, living off his family, for twenty years. However, this toxic lifestyle finally came to an end when his parents passed away and he refused to even attend their funeral. This ended up being the last straw for his siblings, prompting them to kick him out of the family home and disown him. Homeless and penniless, he wandered the streets aimlessly while reflecting on his life until he came across three high-schoolers arguing on a road. Seeing a truck heading toward them at high speed, he mustered all of his strength to run over and managed to push one of them away to safety. Unfortunately, this caused him to get hit instead, killing him. The next time he opened his eyes, he found himself reincarnated as a newborn in the Six-Faced World. Realizing he had been given a second chance, he declared he would live this new life to its fullest.
