Rebirth: So You Want Me To Save The World
Alex has lived his whole life unable to feel or understand emotions. Diagnosed with alexithymia at a young age, he grew up disconnected from the world, unable to relate to people or even himself. Over time, even his own parents began to drift away from him.
Nothing really made him feel happy or sad. Life simply felt empty.
In a desperate attempt to feel something, he developed a smoking habit, but it only led to worse consequences. After collapsing at work, he learns he has severe lung cancer and only about a month left to live. Yet even then, he feels no fear or regret at this self-inflicted impending death.
Ironically, one rainy day, while walking and smoking his life away, his life was suddenly ended in a brutal accident.
But apparently, death is not the end.
Alex awakens in a strange cosmic space and is chosen by a god to be reborn as a hero in another world, tasked with defeating a powerful demon king within an almost impossible timeline of twenty years.
However, to the god’s shock, Alex refuses. To him, life is boring, and he would rather rest in peace than deal with the meaningless, mundane chore of living.
After some persuasion, Alex reluctantly agrees to be reborn, but only under certain conditions.
Given the chance to choose a few freebies and the option to quit if things become too troublesome, he is sent into a new world.
This time, will he finally learn what it means to live and to feel?
