Character[]
The protagonist of this work. He lived with his mother in the slums of the St. Lahren Ruhrden Kingdom, but at the age of 8, he remembers being forcibly reincarnated into the world of a female-oriented game called "Magical✩Fantasy: The Thrill of Love ♡ School Life" (abbreviated as "MagiFanta"), which he had played as a modern Japanese office worker. In addition to that, he also remembers the future he saw in the game, which was a disastrous future where the people of the slums, including his family, were killed due to a civil war caused by the villainess Anastasia being condemned and going missing, along with the invasion of the Est Empire from the east.
To avoid the foretold destruction, Allen registers with the Adventurer's Guild to gather the registration fee to enter the Academy while taking on jobs. At the same time, based on his previous life’s gaming experience, he seeks out and acquires hidden skills before the protagonist Amy, while leveling up through monster hunts to gain strength to prevent Anastasia's condemnation event.
Later, at the age of 15, he enrolls in the Academy through special admission and secretly helps Anastasia so that she doesn't fall for Amy's schemes. After intervening when the condemnation event occurs, he prevents Anastasia from being exiled, which earns her favor and recognition from Duke Ramslett, leading him to think that he might be going down an unexpected path.
However, with the invasion of the Est Empire and the abduction incident involving Anastasia, just as he resolves this, his life is once again threatened in the St. Lahren Ruhrden Kingdom, drawing him into a civil war instigated by Amy and the royalist forces, including the Sword Prince and other capture characters. Yet, with the support of helpers like Anastasia and the Sky Dragon couple Jerome and Melissa, he successfully defeats the St. Lahren Ruhrden Kingdom and captures Amy, the root cause of all the troubles, building a grand ball and becoming a hero of the newly established Ramslett Kingdom. Everything concludes with his wedding to Anastasia, who has become the princess of the Ramslett Kingdom.

"Therefore I need to turn this scenario upside down!
The Villainess, Anastasia's Judgment! The War! I will turn all of them upside down!!"― Allen vow to himself
One day, an 8-year-old boy named Allen, sneezes loudly and learns that his memories of his previous life and the world in which he lives are the same as the game he played in his previous life, "Magical✩Fantasy: The Thrill of Love ♡ School Life". He realizes that if her destiny progresses according to the game, the royal city and the town where he and his mother live will be destroyed, and he uses his knowledge of the game to change that destiny and save Anastasia, the villainess from the game. In his previous life, he was an aeronautical engineer and at the same time a serious gun enthusiast (gun otaku).
As an aeronautical engineer, Allen used his knowledge and his skill of "Alchemy" to utilize for crafting weapons and aircraft for his transportation and create something through alchemy, a type of magic. The completed state of transmutation is extremely complex, and the process of achieving it is also complex, so it is common to use magic circles instead of chanting.

To prevent every scenario happen Allen uses his knowledge in the game to find skills, and Allen decides to get a job from Guild Adventurer to buy requirements or tools and save money for his future, because of this he can understand every little bit of situation and also peoples motive by a single glance. To become stronger Allen asked the Guild Head Manager to train himself in swordsmanship and martial arts for close combat defense.
"I not going to let your stupid antics affect our well-being! DON'T DRAG US INTO THIS!!"
― Allen
Allen’s fighting style is to use replicas of Russian guns that function via wind magic, combined with an Invisibility spell. Allen occasionally uses rubber bullets to fight non-lethally and thus it becomes his signature move to complement his Invisibility power. Allen’s guns, but especially his bomber. He does his best to keep them secret for as long as possible. But later in the story, using those things freely leaves a big political impact.
Blessings are blessings given by God that give you remarkable talent in certain things or fields. For example, if you are given the blessing of [Wind Magic], you will be given sufficient physical aptitude and talent to use [Wind Magic], and with practice, you will learn and improve at a tremendous rate. It is ranked higher than skills. Allen uses gadgetry and cunning to win his battles, not afraid of dirty tactics, stealth being the most common.

Allen created the first version of a glider from wyvern magic stones, femur bone, and a membrane of a wyvern/Giant Bat. He created the first version of VTOL, a vertical takeoff and landing type glider by alchemy and it was powered by Wind magic. The positive discovery is that Allen has almost confirmed the material for transmitting magical power. To operate the rudder and elevator, he used his left hand to transform using the [Alchemy] skill. I then discovered that his hair was the perfect material to act as a sort of electric wire to transmit this information. Discovering this was just a coincidence. At first, it was experimenting with different types and parts of monsters using monster materials, but a stray hair happened to fall on the experimental tools. | ||||||||||||||||||||
And the negative finding is that it can't control multiple locations at the same time. This is a problem with his ability, but if he controls something in one place, it can't control another place.
After Allen got the [Multi-Casting] skill, he upgraded the Glider V1 by adding Vertical Engine when it landed. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Allen, with the help of the scroll of Alchemy and his Past-Life Memories as an engineer, can create guns, bullets, bombs, and a plane (albeit one powered by wind magic). There is an arc about how being unwilling to kill bandits is the greater evil, making Allen feel responsible for their later crimes of kidnapping. This results in Allen being less naïve. Later, Allen gets even more desensitized once he starts a one-man strategic bombing campaign. Thus Allen created the most commonly used air-dropped bombs and compressed air bubbles filled with sharp junk to this effect. The bombs Allen loads into his bomber come in multiple varieties. Flechette Storm is his most common, but also petrol bombs, and he can use flour for a fuel-air bomb.
