A white light glows from the floor in a majestic cathedral. Where an old man with a well kept appearance is sitting on a golden throne adorned with rubies and gems of unknown origin. His nervous appearance visible with signs of stress clearly showing.
Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere 30 kids of the same age appear. Confused and dazed about what just occurred to them.
Among, the craziness and hysteria stands one individual calmly….Jin!
[Initiating memory integration]
Host, Jin Yagami (same name)…. 17 years old from Earth 3, was a kid who lived a good life in Japan. Rich parents, a Korean dad and a Japanese mom, who would spoil and indulge him with whatever he wanted. His life is nothing short of a cake-walk.
Appearance, is that of a total bishounen. Tall, athletic, good-looking, popular and smart are the common words used to describe him.
Roaming through his memories he finally stumbles upon the crucial piece of information his been looking for.
Aha! Jin Yagami's favourite past time since entering his second year of high school was bullying the average looking, average height, average otaku kid who was the childhood friend of the pritiest girl in school Asuka Amagi.
And of course, he had two lackeys who obeyed his every order, and with the whole class who sucked up to him, bullied the unlucky kid even more...
[What a typical set up]
[90% of all novels I've read follow the exact same plot]
[I'm a undoubtedly the antagonist in this story (typically I get forgetten real quick and am showed up by the MC throughout the novel) well... that's about to change!]
*DING*
A mechanical voice sounded in his head.
[Protagonist Located: Takahashi Hikaru. Parents passed away due to tragic car accident when he was young. Cause of collision was bad tyre quality caused by lackluster manufacturing process by host's parents company. Before the crash he was a sociable and well liked young man. But with no-one to guide him, he fell into state of depression, until manga and light novels saved him from abyss. After somehow upsetting Jin Yagami, he starts getting bullied in his second year of high school on an almost daily frequency. The only person that dares to offer him a helping hand was his childhood friend, the stunningly beautiful class president.]
[KTP, can you give me the original story synopsis? What would have happened in the original plot?]
[Takahashi Hikaru a loner who was bullied. But one day, he along with his class got transmigrated to a fantasy world of swords and magic! But why does he not have a job, and why is his stats so low?
Inevitably, he gets abandoned by his class in the Monster Fields. Watch him get stronger and get revenge on all those that bullied him!]
'Hey, this sounds like an actual story. What's it's title and is it complete yet?"
The panicked voices show no signs of ending
"What's going on?"
"Mommmmmmyyyy!!!"
"Help! I don't want to die!"
While everyone was screaming around, Jin looks around quickly and discreetly. At the far end of the room sits an old man with a slightly long, grey beard in very fancy robes and a golden crown. Surrounded by men in silver armor, I presume Knights. He has slightly cruel and vicious vibe which makes him slightly uncomfortable. To his left stands a beautiful fairy like maiden dressed in flowy silk robes, with her hands clasped in front of her body.
Taking control of the situation, Jin decides to speak up, "Classmates! Attention!"
The class quickly quites down and listens attentively.
"Calm down! We aren't going to get anywhere in a panic like this." He turns to look at the figure that king like figure and asks. "I presume you know why we are here?"
A nobleman suddenly screams in rage "Impudent figure! Speak nicely, this is his majesty not someone that you can address casually!"
Jin unfazed by the outburst, just looks at him and answers "Cool dude! I still don't care". He turns back to the king and asks, "So, how can we help YOU" He stresses the last part of his sentence making them understand his full level of disrespect.
The king clearly offended but still pretends to be calm smiles and explains. "Oh dear heroes, we have summoned you here today to restore peace and safety to the land for we are unable to. Please will you grant us your assistance to save the lands and my people!"
He drops to his knees in a show of desperation causing the people in the room to gasp.
Not evening sparing him an elongated glance, Jin turns his back to the King and towards his classmates
"Well now that we've heard the full story, any have any opinions" Jin asks
Asuka is the first to speak up, "Shouldn't we help them if we can?"
Others voice a similar naive opinions believing in delusions of grandeur and heroity.
The atmosphere grows warm as the classmates have already begun accepting the fantasy world.
Jin laughs out loud drawing their attention, "You guys can't be serious? Do you guys honestly think it's so easy?"
Unable to answer his questions the classmates wait patiently as Jin begins to explain
"Have you forgotten about Japan? Our homes? Our families? Our loved ones? Our lives!?" He shouts
"I don't know about you but my life was comfortable. You guys can stay but I'm…. going home"
His classmates hang their head low clearly ashamed of the juvenile thinking.
Jin turns to the King as the rest contemplates his words and asks "I'd like to be returned. It should make no difference between 29 and 30 right?"
The King now being helped up by his retainers now clearly annoyed by Jin's word responds with a slightly irritable tone, "Please hero reconsider! The people, the kingdom, we … need you"
Jin smiles, " I don't care! Did you expect me to just lay down and be your bitch? Well you thought wrong. SEND ME BACK
The fairy-like female suddenly speaks up "We can't!"
Jin looks up towards her as she begins to explain, her voice reminds you of a calming tone in a spring day " We don't know how. The magic we used to someone you is ancient and we don't know how to send you back"
"So we are stuck? I recommend you tell me the truth" Jin says
"We don't know how but …. The demon king should have the knowledge" She answers
"And you want us to get get rid of this 'demon king' right?"
She nods her head in confirmation
"Our interests align, is this coincidence ?" He asks
The female once more answers"No… this is….. your fate as heroes!"
