I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

chapter 0



0 – Your friend is dead. but not sad

It is said that the fate of a prince who does not become king is miserable.

Even in the Joseon Dynasty, the king’s brothers were subject to strict surveillance.

Because they have the right to inherit the throne.

Members of the royal family were executed very harshly for even being involved in treason.

There is also a case where a royal family who had nothing to do with the actual rebellion was killed unjustly just because they were almost elected by the coup forces.

As much as that, the presence of the brothers is threatening and fearful to the king.

Because they are SPAREs who can take their seats at any time.

So, the royal family had to have their hands and feet cut off so that they could not have any power, and they had to live as scarecrows.

If you were interested in power, it was perfect for arousing the king’s suspicions.

——Just like me.

“Faust, why are you studying magic?”

Anyone possessed by the game will show interest in magic that is not in the real world. I did too.

However, whenever I was reading a magic book, someone, especially the cunning wizard Serena, who wanted to please the hero, would appear and steal the magic book.

“Did you not hear what the warrior said? You’re not even allowed to read magic books! Feed the horse and live quietly!”

“… … … .”

Is there anyone who wants to live in another world and take care of livestock?

A word that isn’t even a cute animal like a dog or cat?

And that’s the horse that the bastard I hate the most rides on?

“Hey Faust. Is my precious horse, Palos, healthy?”

Humanity’s hope, warrior.

A friend who was possessed by another world while playing a game with me.

In Korea, the guy who had the rather crude name of Kwak Dong-soo is here called Lucy von Lettle, or whatever, the full name of a very grandiose aristocrat.

I was possessed with a friend while playing a game.

It is said that there is a custom here where people from another world are honored as warriors.

Well, it’s good so far.

The problem is that for one reason or another, my friend was chosen as a warrior and I became a jerk.

To be honest, there was nothing that I was inferior to Dong-soo in Korea.

Whether it’s face, height, money, or academic achievement.

However, after coming to another world, the relationship had to be completely reversed.

The difference between a hero and just a normal person 1 was so great that it was indescribable.

A warrior is a being enshrined as a symbol of peace both politically and religiously. Kings and popes show respect to warriors.

It is said that even if you stay still, donations come in on its own, and you become the main character at social parties, as well as marriage talks from influential families.

On the other hand, I’m not a hero or anything, I’m just a kid who doesn’t know the world.

“This is true. Two people were summoned… this is out of line How are you talking?”

That was the first line of the king who summoned us to the magic circle.

In one word, embarrassing.

Of course, the number of warriors is limited to one.

As mentioned above, the chosen one is Lucy von Letlea… No, Kwak Dong-soo.

But why did someone like me, who failed to become a hero, remain in another world?

That’s what “for one in ten thousand” stands for.

Because if Kwak Dong-soo dies, he needs a warrior to take his place.

In a kingdom, for example, if the king dies without brothers or children, things become very difficult. Because there is no next king, the country is ruined.

Therefore, it was treated as a very important duty for the king to leave a lineage.

Anyway, as a person who came from another world, I also have the value of being Kwak Dong-soo’s spare. That is why they were not expelled and left in the capital.

However, it seems that Kwak Dong-soo did not like it very much.

“Ah honestly, can’t this bastard just be gone? What do you all think?”

“agree! Serena agrees with the hero’s opinion!”

“I agree too!”

“ha ha ha! No need for Faust! If you have a sense of humor, you should figure it out on your own!”

Even the people who treated me as a guest in the beginning immediately clung to the strong side as soon as the hero showed signs of trying to ostracize me.

Well, from Kwak Dong-soo’s point of view, he wouldn’t appreciate the existence of someone who would take his place after his death. It will just annoy you.

Does your death benefit come from a friend, not a family member? pissed off

And so, from my point of view, the most absurd Ijime began.

The meals provided by the palace stopped, and no one tried to be my friend.

Rumors had spread that the hero would harass me if I became close with him.

Soldiers and ordinary people 1.

Even the dogs in the neighborhood know which side is better for me, and when I pass by, the dogs bark at me for being easy on me.

I want to go home, but there is no way.

In the end, I fell into the position of cleaning up the horse manure of a friend who bullied me to earn money.

“Hey buzzard!”

buzzard.

That was the nickname Kwak Dong-soo called me.

“Palm.”

When I held out my palm, Kwak Dong-soo stepped on it and got on the horse. A son of a bitch who uses me as a stirrup.

“Your expression is rotten, buzzard beetle.”

“you… Have you completely forgotten that we were friends?”

“Oh was it? But this isn’t Earth, is it?”

“pup. They said you have to give power to know human nature, is this your nature?”

“So what? You son of a loser who didn’t even become a hero.”

“You never know. If you die on this expedition, I might take your place.”

“Kuk. sick.”

Compared to me, who is full of reality through harsh labor, he was treated undeservedly and was soaked in the sense of the game. He seemed to believe that since he was a hero, he would be able to defeat the demon king as easily as in a game where he kills monsters by pressing a few buttons.

“No, wait a minute. This is treason against the hero right now, right? Wow, I am the lamp of humanity, are you cursing at me? No, it was like he wanted me to die, right? I can’t do this. ”

Before leaving the expedition, Kwak Dong-soo gave certain instructions to everyone in the capital, even the king.

Just write a letter about what you usually think about me and send it.

He added that he, a warrior, would censor all of those letters.

By the way, the fact that Kwak Dong-soo hates me was so famous that no one in the capital didn’t know about it.

<Taxable Cattle>

<An unpleasant grumbler tickling at the hero>

<Why are you in our kingdom? Get out!>

<I feel bad because I always wear an impression!>

<The food is not enough to fight the Demon King’s army… Is it necessary to feed such a person?>

<Die!!>

<Dumb. vapor. unpleasant>

On that day, a large number of letters containing abusive language were delivered to our house, and it became impossible to step foot.

To be honest, at first it started with Kwak Dong-soo instigating it, but at some point everyone started to enjoy it, and the impression was strong.

Well, getting together and harassing someone is pretty fun entertainment. Those who suffer will die.

“When I come back from the expedition, I will show you what a real Ijime is. Until then, clean the palace where me and my heo-nees live. I know how to search for even a speck of dust.”

—Of course I didn’t even touch the palace.

However, disobeying the hero’s order, I did not follow through.

Rather, it was Kwak Dong-soo who died.

Foolishly, he was brutally killed on the first expedition, and only the holy sword, the symbol of a hero, was handed over to the wizard Serena and returned to the capital.

The memorial service for the hero was short-lived, and the imperial palace hurried to appoint a new hero, saying that the position of a warrior could not be vacated for even a second.

That was me, of course.

Hateful letters were no longer delivered.
