Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time / Terminally Ill Genius Dark Knight / 시한부 천재 다크나이트 / Bertahan Hidup sebagai Jenius di Waktu Terbatas / Chronicles of a Doomed Prodigy

Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time is a poignant and high-stakes masterpiece of the "Fantasy" and "Isekai" genres. Based on the acclaimed web novel, this manhwa has captivated a global audience with its unique "Glass Cannon" protagonist—a hero possessing god-tier talent but trapped in a body that is rapidly failing. It is world-renowned for its emotional depth and tactical brilliance, as every victory comes at the cost of the protagonist’s dwindling lifespan. The series stands as a definitive "Progression Fantasy," blending the desperate urge for survival with the explosive action of a warrior who must end every fight instantly or face total collapse.

The story follows Knox von Reinhaver, a gaming fanatic who is reincarnated into the world of his favorite RPG as a minor villain destined for an early grave. Born with the "Genius" trait that allows him to master any skill at lightning speed, he is also cursed with a terminal illness that drains his life force with every move. Knowing the apocalypse is coming and that he is slated to die before it even begins, Knox must use his meta-knowledge of the game’s secrets to find a cure. He isn't just fighting monsters; he is fighting a ticking clock, using his overwhelming intellect to monopolize "Hidden Pieces" and become the ultimate Dark Knight before his time runs out.
