He was killed in a traffic accident in modern Japan and was reborn in another world. After his first reincarnation, when he was 15 years old, he was driven to death by Moses, who was jealous of his friendship with Cordelia Olston. There are many stories of adventurers and wizards rising to success in a different world where goblins and dragons roam. However, in a world where occupation is greatly reflected in status, there is no way a dragon king person can be expected to be unrivaled by him. Cordelia's motivation for wanting to become so strong is all in Cordelia's own hands, and she is trying to bear and protect her destiny as the "oracle's hero" who was unexpectedly chosen for the role. She is never discouraged by hardship and has a spirit of steel that will not yield to any man. His real name when he was Japanese was "Tatsuto Iijima". However, he became by far the strongest while still being a villager.

* **`*VOLUME 1*`**
* Ryuuto McClain was involved in a traffic accident in modern Japan and was reborn in another world. In this other world, where all abilities are restricted by occupational aptitude, Ryuuto was born into a poor farmer's family with the low occupational aptitude of "*villager*". At the same time as Ryuuto's rebirth, Cordelia Olston, who has the aptitude of a "*hero*," and Moses, who has the aptitude of a "wise man," is born in a neighbor's house, and the three grow up as close childhood friends. One day, however, when the three of them turn 15, Ryuuto is trapped and swept into a river by Moses, who looks down on him inwardly hates him, and loses his life after an encounter with a red dragon. However, Ryuuto used the "Return to Death" reincarnation benefit skill and succeeded in returning to the state he was in just before his reincarnation. After re-selecting a different reincarnation benefit skill from the previous one, Ryuuto underwent a second reincarnation, and to become the strongest and protect Cordelia while remaining a "*villager*," he implemented the optimal solution that he had carefully constructed. Immediately after his reincarnation, he began to thoroughly train his status by utilizing reincarnation benefit skills.
* Ryuuto, who had used his "*Wisdom*" reincarnation benefit skill in his previous incarnation to browse the world's books in his brain, used his vast knowledge to expand his magical power from the time he was a baby, and by the time he was six years old, his MP (magical power) had grown to more than 10,000. Furthermore, Ryuuto studied under the legendary "Orc-Killer" Bernard Alabaster, and over six years, mastered the skill of "Steel Body Art," which increases basic status values. Unbeknownst to his parents and Cordelia, he had reached a level of uniqueness. Then, on April 3, Cordelia, who had received an oracle as a brave warrior, was determined to fight to protect her village from an attack by a goblin army. Ryuuto, who knew from his previous incarnation that the red dragon would appear on the scene later to wipe out the goblins, could not overlook the wounded Cordelia and crushed the goblins with his fists. The red dragon who appears on the scene is bewildered by Ryuuto's display of strength that surpasses that of a hero, but he reads his mind and sees all the promises he made at his last incarnation. After promising to meet Cordelia, who is sad to say goodbye, that they will meet again in a few years, Ryuuto and the red dragon head for the Dragon Village, where they are granted an audience with the Dragon King, who presides over the area.
* `***VOLUME 2***`
* Ryuuto McClain has an audience with the Dragon King, who points out that history has gone awry and the world is coming to an end because Ryuuto, a mere "villager," saved Cordelia Olston, the "oracle's hero," one of only four in the world. Ryuuto is told that Cordelia, who has failed to awaken as a hero, will surely be defeated in the coming battle against the evil dragon. He declares that he will become a "dragon killer" stronger than Cordelia, and succeeds in receiving the "Dragon King's blessing" from the Dragon King, which gives him the same level-up status correction as a dragon man. Later, Ryuuto begins his level-up activities with a slave girl, Lilith, in an underground labyrinth on the outskirts of the Dragon Village. Avoiding the frontal force as much as possible, Ryuuto uses his wits and ingenuity to break through the labyrinth's ordeals one after another in unexpected ways, and after raising his level to over 100, he takes on the final ordeal, a battle against dragon zombies. However, the opponent of the ordeal was Lilith's foster parent, Earthen Dragon. Ryuuto struggled against the dragon's destructive attacks, but by using two skills simultaneously, he was able to momentarily outperform the dragon and successfully defeat it. With the "*Blessing of the Divine Dragon*," Ryuuto left Lilith and the dragon village and set off for new land in search of a place to further his training.
* Meanwhile, Cordelia, who had been active as a hero in various places after parting with Ryuuto and was on an expedition with a select group of knights, encountered the evil dragon, Amanta, in a certain forest. The knights were destroyed before Amanta's attack, which should have defeated them in the original history. Cordelia, too, is on the verge of defeat. However, Ryuuto, who has grown up to be a strong man, appears and rescues Cordelia. Amanta wonders about the identity of the unusually skilled Ryuuto, but Ryuuto insists that he is just a villager.
* **`*VOLUME 3*`**
* Ryuuto McClane provokes the evil dragon Amanta into a one-on-one battle. Amanta, backed into a corner, invokes multiple "magic eyes" that enchant the target as trump cards, but they fail to penetrate and are destroyed by Ryuuto's full force. Ryuuto, who has just experienced the joy of reuniting with Cordelia Olston for the first time in several years, sets off again with Lilith for training to save Cordelia from the harsh fate that awaits her. They stop at the port town of Thales and visit the slavers' association to have Lilith's slave prints removed, but they are shocked to learn that the procedure requires a sum of 10 gold coins and that Lilith will lose her life if her slave prints are not removed in the remaining one month. Realizing that time is running short, the two head for the forest, where they use their ingenuity to gather large quantities of rare fruits and defeat the powerful "Water Horse Mutant," to earn money and improve their level of skill at the same time. The next day, a woman claiming to be the head professor of a magic graduate school hears a rumor about Ryuuto and his friends and asks them to gather mandragoras in exchange for a large reward. After much hard work, they arrive at a place where mandragora grows, but it is a wilderness where not a single plant or tree grows. Ryuuto barely managed to find the seeds, and using his reincarnation benefit skill "Cultivation of Crops," he secured the required number of medicinal herbs, returned to town, and sold them to a mysterious woman. Although he received a price of more than 100 gold coins, the payment was delayed due to the huge amount.
* However, Ryuuto's defeat of the "water horse mutant" earned him the hefty reward of 15 gold coins, and he succeeded in setting Lilith free. At the same time, Eslyn-Macbeth, who had won the title of champion in the arena of Vishmer, a casino city on the border between the human and demon worlds, was informed by his old acquaintance, the magician Merlin Onyx, of an interesting "villager" he had recently found.

After Ryuuto died the goddess gave him a skill, the skills given to a person who dies in the real world and is reincarnated in another world. When a person is reincarnated, he/she can be granted up to two of several different skills. Also, a skill can only be chosen once. Before reincarnation, only a rough outline of the skills is given, but some of them are powerful depending on how they are used. But in the case of Ryuuto, he doesn't pick any skill after he dies so many times he only remains the one goddess who choose the skill that was given to him.

 Unique Skill:「***Wisdom*** *(叡智)*」
 Unique Skill:「***Persistence*** *(不屈)*」
 Blessing Skill:「***Crop Cultivation*** (農作物栽培)」
* One of the reincarnation benefit skills. The summary is that it increases the quality and production of plants that are cultivated. Ryuuto McLean selected it in her second incarnation. It has nothing to do with the plan to raise the status efficiently but was chosen because "*Cordelia Olston likes flowers*." Ryuuto McLean used this skill to combine to create a powerful attack.

 「***Rage of the Villager***」
* The anger that embodies the anger of the villagers who can only learn garbage skills even if they reach level 100 is wrapped around Genkotsu through the magic circuit.
 「***Dragon King Blessing***」
* It's a terrible skill that increases the physical ability enhancement multiplier by an additional 1.5 times and primarily negates the factor of the User job "Villager".
 「***Dragon King: Advent***」
 「***God Eater***」 It targets anyone with a "Divine" attribute. When a designated target has been chosen, he/she along with their skill will be "Sealed", and when they are sealed, one who holds this skill can use their skill. Another effect of this skill is that can cause damage to gods.
* Effect: [+God Chasing] - Destroying the physical body of a divine being (resurrection impossible).
* Effect: [+God Seal] - Seals the soul of a divine being (resurrection is possible, after some time).
* Effect: [+God Destroying] - Destroy the soul of a divine being...
 Forbidden Skill: 「***Demon's Gateway***」
* A forbidden skill that opens the door where the demon resides in the user. It transforms into a demon when the user activates the skill, it boosts both Physical abilities and Magic power.
* After Ryuuto passes the trial to gain the "Dragon King's Blessing" his blood change into half-dragon folk. After his human blood is mixed with the dragon blood he can access the 「*Demon's Gateway Principle*」 able to Dragonize form "Incarnation of Evil Dragon". Changed his body with black-scale armor.

* Attack power +1200
* Evasion +300
* God killing attribute no. 3: God Destroyer
* Attack power +300
* Defense power +300
* Evasion +300
* Defense power +100
* Evasion +800

However, by using "*Return to Death"* and "*Wisdom*," two of the reincarnation benefit skills given to reincarnated persons, he was able to be reincarnated a second time under the same circumstances, retaining the memories of his first reincarnation. He worked hard to expand his MP and gained a huge MP ceiling. Using this as a foothold, he continues to train himself unnoticed and grows into a strong warrior who is more than a mere "*villager*".

The fruit of his training in swordsmanship can rival any powerful opponent even if a person has the title of hero because of the training he does by Bernard. The "Blessing of Dragon King" gave him access to a "*Great Library of the Dragon King*" where he can access to be able to learn the collective knowledge about magic, sorcery, history, alchemy, and skills. When he is in battle Ryuuto always makes a trap out of his skill "*Crop Cultivation*".
