[■■■]

Description: ■■ discovered in a dungeon.

Effect: ■■ ■ ■■■ the ■■.

Owner: Kwon Muyoung

Kwon Muyoung obtained an unidentified lifeform, ‘Im Sunyul,’ as a dungeon reward.

Is Sunyul a monster, or an item? Even Sunyul himself doesn’t know his true nature.

“I… I hope the Guild Leader believes I’m not a monster.”

“I believe you’re not some kind of monster. You’re human, Im Sunyul.”

Only Muyoung treats Sunyul as a person. All Sunyul wants is to continue living peacefully like this.

[‘The Eternal Night Traveler’ says that what was forgotten will return to its original state.]

However, Sunyul gradually begins to recall forgotten memories.

Memories that should not be recalled. An existence that must be forgotten by the world. And people who are trying to remember Sunyul.

Will Sunyul be able to protect the fate he chose? <<less

∥[Notification] Minjun’s first believer is praying.... more>>

After eight years in the other world, what greeted S-class hunter Minjun was the side effects of dimensional travel and an incomprehensible notification. However, he only pays attention to it for a moment before deciding to hide his identity and live a lazy retirement life.

“Have you ever heard anyone say that you look like hunter Minjun, who went missing eight years ago?”

“But I don’t look like him.”

Yoon Soohyuk, an S-class hunter who admires him, keeps approaching him.

And then,

∥Name: No. 749 Bond Of Fate B

∥Description: When a pair of rings is worn by two people, they have a chance to permanently increase their stats by 10%.

∥How to use: The owners of the item must physically bond with each other once every 9 days for a total of 9 times.

∥For every 9 days that passes without physical bonding, the item owner’s overall stats are permanently reduced by 10% from the point of wearing.

They become entangled in a bonded item that cannot be disengaged…

“Just close our eyes and do it.”

“… Why are you so fearless? Do you know what that means?” <<less

B-rank hunter Yoon Pa-ran has a buff skill that she keeps secret from others.

I was expelled from the hero party. The reason was because I was deemed useless, and not only was I expelled from the party, but I was also expelled from the adventurer’s guild. Gracius, the hero, considered me to have no value and even took away my money. ... more>>

I actually think that being expelled is not that bad. The reason being, I am an alchemist and can actually create legendary items that only I can make. I went to a remote territory and used the legendary item to develop the land.

As a result, the territory became the strongest.

Meanwhile, both the hero and guild master fell from glory and hit rock bottom. This is a story about how, if I had been working hard for the adventurer’s guild and increasing our allies instead of being expelled, we would have had the strongest territory. <<less

The knight who fell into the world of hunters once again took up his sword.

I possessed the guild master ‘Ruel’ in the game.... more>>

Fostering four heroes, defeating the final boss, and returning to reality out of the game.

Three years later, I was possessed by the same game again.

This time, it’s in the form of aristocratic Lady “Elsez”!

I was going to meet the heroes and tell them all,

They thought “Ruel” was dead, so they were living in darkness and an arbitrary life.

‘It’s X. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this!’

Besides, when I try to reveal my identity, my mouth closes.

At this rate, I’m going to be overthrown by my babies!

* * *

I decided to avoid the heroes because they might try to kill me if they encounter me.

By the way…

“What should I do, so that I don’t lose you?”

The cruel Duke of Blood obeys me,

“Why do I have to protect the world? The world without you means nothing to me.”

The Guild Master, who has lived righteously has fallen,

“Didn’t you know that I only smile like this in front of you?”

The Cardinal, who is as warm as the sun, show a cool smile,

“If I could, I wanted to break your world and have you next to me.”

The Dark Master of the magic tower looks at me with obsessive eyes.

Guys, I’m the final boss and you guys are heroes

How to Save the World: Find Someone the Hero Could Fall in Love With and Play Matchmaker.... more>>

---

In a moment of desperation, I lost my mind and ended up stealing the hero’s chance to go back in time.

“I must have been crazy!”

As someone whose strength can’t even compare to the hero’s, there’s only one thing I can do: somehow befriend the hero—famous for hating people—and set him up with someone.

- To wield the Holy Sword, one must understand true love.

The Great God declared it so.

As atonement, I’ll find someone worthy of the noble and honorable hero, and create the perfect couple no matter what!

But then...

“Uh, could I... call you Zerbin?”

“Don’t.”

...

“Did you come here to chatter?”

The hero doesn’t even like it when people casually call him by his name.

Will the whole world really perish because of me?

That can’t happen!

So I introduced him to women, and just in case, I even arranged meetings with men. I ran myself ragged trying everything.

“You’re hurt.”

But why does he care about me?

“You... need someone by your side to take care of you.”

Why someone like me? I’m just a human who can’t even fight demons, utterly unworthy of the hero!

I’d do anything if the hero wanted it, but...

“What do you want to do with me?”

...There’s no way I could be his true love, right?

“Don’t confuse me.”

So this must be a misunderstanding! <<less

She came back from the unknown gate wearing only a black dress with a black parasol. A first-generation hunter, Cha Eunha, went missing 30 years ago.... more>>

In the early 2000s, they had been locked within a mysterious gate.

For someone to escape, one must stay behind…

“It’s because you have more reasons to stay alive for than me.”

Eunha sacrificed herself for her colleague Yijun, killed monsters to survive and met a man who found her when there were no monsters left to kill.

“You’re the boss.”

Shin Siwoo, the first S-Class hunter that she’s ever heard of.

When Eunha had managed to get out of the strange gate,

“Thirty years…have passed?”

The world had changed so much.

Besides, Baek Yijun, an old colleague that she had met after a long time,

“You know what. I hate the fact that people like you are hunters.”

"I do not have the hobby of sharing what is mine with others."... more>>

This was what her ex-husband spat out in response to Therese’s request for a divorce.

But how did things end up like this?

In this second chance at life, she had promised herself never to fall in love again.

Yet her ex-husband had become utterly leech-like, refusing to let go.

“I assume you like my face.”

“I’d prefer to stay where you can see me.”

“I find myself getting jealous all the time.”

He would say these nonsensical things,

but Therese had no intention of repeating her foolish past.

She knew that the only end to this hellish marriage was death.

Nevertheless, her husband’s obsession continued endlessly.

***

"I have not changed my mind about wanting a divorce, Your Grace."

“You will find it hard to understand me.”

At that moment, tears started flowing down the Duke's cheeks.

“For someone like me, there’s no room for a new love.”

The Duke whispered as his long fingers tousled Therese's silver hair.

The tremor at his fingertips told her it was genuine. <<less

――I think I've been reincarnated.... more>>

That might be the best way to describe my current situation.

I thought I died after being hit by a car, but when I came to, I was a baby. And it was in another world.

I didn't meet any gods, so it doesn't feel natural, but I've considered myself lucky to get a second chance at life. I have some regrets from my previous life, but starting over from childhood is an enticing prospect.

If there's a problem, it's this: after seven years of living this new life, I realized that I had become a character from a manga I once read in my previous life. And not just any character—the protagonist, Brave. There's another thing too. It might be a source of hope, so I'll hold off on labelling it a problem for now.

Hahaha... defeating the Demon King... if I could leverage my hero specs, it would be a piece of cake... but there is no way that's going to happen. Phew—this isn't good...

What’s bad about it... is that this manga follows the classic trope of a hero and his companions defeating the Demon King, who is trying to invade the world. Since it's a typical shounen manga, the power of bonds and friendship is emphasized, and the story isn’t very dark. On the contrary, the protagonist often powers up through the encouragement of friends, which is a big concern for me.

...Can I power up through the encouragement of friends?

This was my sincere question.

In my previous life, no matter how much my classmates cheered for me during sports day, I always needed to improve my rank.

This means that the power of friendship, which should enhance my innate abilities, is something I inherently lack. And without the friendship buff, I’d be significantly weaker.

...The world is doomed.

――I can’t just do nothing while the world falls apart, especially since I’ve been reincarnated as the protagonist. I’m doing my best with daily training, thinking that even a surprise attack or anything could work. It might be futile, but there’s another concern.

Because of too much training, I’ve entirely ignored Alicia, the heroine who is supposed to be my first companion in this typical story.

I haven't talked to her much at all, and the reason is the other issue I mentioned earlier—the mysterious boy.

I haven’t spoken much with him either, so I don't know much about him (I don't even know his name), but I can tell he's another reincarnation like me. He’s been dropping lines from our previous life and flaunting his knowledge, which made it obvious. Me? I'm a loner and don’t talk much with the villagers.

So, he shouldn’t know that I'm also a reincarnator.

Can reincarnators help each other out?

If he were my ally, even if I’m not confident in my role as the protagonist, I might manage if I have a fellow reincarnator by my side! That’s what I initially thought...

But he’s just ignoring me...

He hates me.

Instead of helping each other, he’s been cosying up to Alicia and has somehow secured the childhood friend position. Seriously? Alicia is still just a kid at this point! It’s honestly creepy...

Is this another issue? Yeah, it is.

I have the issue of having my protagonist's role usurped. Alicia, one of the heroines, is more like a stranger than a childhood friend, which will mess up the story.

If the story collapses, I won’t be able to use my knowledge of the original plot. That means the protagonist might not be able to defeat the Demon King, but that's already irrelevant. The story was doomed from the moment I became the protagonist.

He probably wants to humiliate me, the protagonist (me). That’s why he’s been disrupting the original story from the start. If I had to title it, it would be something like, “I Reincarnated as a Mob Character and Took Over as the Protagonist to Defeat the Demon King ~ All the Heroines Followed Me Instead. The Protagonist? Let Him Try on His Own~”.

In my previous life, stories where the original protagonist loses and the reincarnation shines were popular. Maybe it’s going to be like that here, too.

I want to avoid a humiliation storyline. But it’s not all bad.

Because—this means he might defeat the Demon King for me without me having to do anything!

He might have the potential to humiliate me, but at the same time, he hopes to defeat the Demon King on his own.

So—I don’t hate him. Even though he’s spreading nasty rumours about me to the villagers, turning them against me, and making them treat me like a piece of tr*sh... somehow... I can barely tolerate it.

There’s only room for one protagonist. Let’s divide our roles. From now on, I’ll call him the true protagonist. If he aims to be the hero, I’ll step aside. I’ll head to some remote village and live a slow life. He can go ahead and defeat the Demon King or build a harem, whatever he likes.

Now that I’ve decided on my action, it’s back to training. Even if I don't end up fighting the Demon King, I need to use my manga knowledge to train... I might need to use it against the true protagonist instead...

I hope it doesn’t come to that. I don’t want to humiliate anyone or be humiliated. I want to live a safe life.

—Ten years later.

...The true protagonist is missing?

And because of that, the Demon King's army has made significant advances, turning the world into an apocalyptic wasteland...

Christine was an elite member of a guild who had excellent commissioning skills, but she couldn’t break the curse that caused abnormalities in her body. She suffered her whole life and was only exploited by the guild she worked for.... more>>

She infiltrated the Black Fang Guild, which was said to be full of people who inherited the blood of beasts, to retrieve the jewels that would relieve the pain caused by the curse, but she lost her life when the internal injuries she had suffered went beyond her limit.

But what was happening?

When she opened her eyes, she had returned to a time when she was relatively healthy.

In addition, the pain caused by the curse had surely subsided the moment she touched the gorgeous man who held her when she fell.

‘I might be able to break my curse if I approach that man.’

Christine deliberately approached him to find a clue to lift her curse, and succeeded in seducing him.

“I said I wouldn't hurt you, but you're not cooperating.”

“Ah…”

However… She had no idea that the man she spent the night with was the hidden power of the Black Fang Guild.

Christine regretted bringing up the spy conversation.
