Hajime Nagumo

Hajime stood at a pretty average 175 cm, but he was anything but ordinary. With his black hair and sleepy expression, he was the quintessential otaku, always frazzled and often the target of merciless teasing from his classmates. They weren't too thrilled about his friendship with the popular Kaori. One day, wishing for an escape from this misery, he found himself in a mysterious world. Blessed—or cursed—with the "Synergist" role, he faced more bullying. But after a wild ride through a hellish abyss, Hajime transformed. His looks changed drastically; he emerged with white hair, red eyes, and fierce tattoos. Now, he's a complex blend of kindness and cruelty, willing to protect his friends at all costs while striking fear into anyone who crosses him.
