I'm Standing on a Million Lives – Isekai with a cynical streak
Most isekai protagonists wake up overpowered and destined for greatness. Yusuke Yotsuya wakes up assigned a random class, given vague objectives, and told to figure it out before the timer runs out. That difference defines I'm Standing on a Million Lives: a survival fantasy where intellect and ruthlessness matter more than heroic conviction. Our merchandise channels that energy — fan gear for viewers who appreciate an isekai that doesn't hand its heroes anything.
