["You have killed the Prince of the Kingdom Callacas! The whole Callacas population is now hostile to you!]
[Warning! Your hero rating is now in negative rating! Further transgressions will cause you to fall into the path of a villain!]
"HEHEHE, THAT'S FINE BY ME! THIS PLACE IS PURE SH*T IN ANY WAY, HAVING A VILLAIN BORN WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER WAY THAN TO LET A COUNTRY LIKE THIS EXIST ANY FURTHER!"
The young man holding a dagger in his hand as blood trickled on the tip of the dagger grinned and the king who just arrived didn't expect to see his son mutilated in such a way that no one would think that the method he was killed was only done using a dagger. The guy is only a teenager but that look on his face is enough for everyone to label him as a monster.
"So... which bastard is next to step in? Come on, I am waiting~"
How things like this happened is due to the situation that occurred a few hours earlier just before everything descended to madness.
...
...
...
Japan.
The place where all of the isekai plots happen most of the time. It has become so cliche that people are now joking that once truck-kun is coming, it is time to say goodbye to Earth and say hello to isekai. It has been a widespread thing that it slowly invade many types of media.
Kogure Tachibana, a typical high school boy is our typical mob character in the description. He isn't handsome that will allow girls to flock to him or be secretly in love with him due to his blah blah blah reasons and whatnot that would make him accomplish everything.
He is just your typical mob character. Just a mob character without any sort of good plot for him.
Right now, the whole class is inside their classroom doing the usual self-study. Kogure is not the protagonist type of guy so instead of being a guy who is situated on the window's side, he is a guy sitting in the very middle of the classroom. He sighed in boredom as he already finished reading the whole book that their teacher distributed earlier to read.
Many of the students are still reading though only those studious ones are doing that. The others are just doing what they like to do and some are just talking to their friends.
"Yo, Kogure. Are you gonna do something later on?"
"Huh? Later?" Kogure turned to look at the guy who started talking to him. It's his friend, Jin Kasukabe. Unlike him, he is one of the clear types to become a side character. But at least, as a side character, they still have a job to fulfill.
"Yeah, we plan to go and sneak into the pool and peek at the girls during their swimming time! So what do you think? Are you in?"
Kogure clicked his tongue and looked at Jin in disgust. He might be a degenerate but he doesn't do this kind of stuff that would compromise his peaceful life.
"Ugh, that's too much of a hassle man. I will pass. I am a bit tired and I think after eating lunch, I will take a good long nap for later on."
"Man, you are quite a killjoy man. You should partake in things like this once in a while. It's once in a lifetime so you should at least enjoy it!"
"Bro, don't bother persuading me, whatever sh*t you guys wanted to do, I have to stay out of it. I would rather watch something on my phone than risk myself getting expelled."
"Tch. Seriously, man, you are missing out a lot."
"Whatever."
Kogure might be a mob character but he is a decent man. He knows his priorities and he would gladly take things he needed to secure his life. He is a guy that is always in a neutral stance. A guy who would think first before doing anything else. He isn't a yes guy and he would rather say no most of the time. It's just a shame that he isn't born with good looks on his face, otherwise, he would be a really decent character.
He grab his phone and looked at the time. He blinked a bit before he looked at his phone but then, he saw his phone flicker. It flickered like it has been malfunctioning. Seeing this happen to his phone, he frowned and his sleepiness disappeared as he put his focus on his phone. That's when things started to go for a change.
"Wha? What is happening?!"
A large magic circle appeared beneath their feet and engulfed their whole class from it. Kogure didn't expect this to happen but his reactions are quick and he covered his face by crossing it across him to at least block anything that might happen to them. There is one thing that passed through his mind while this is happening to everyone.
Mass Summoning.
Another trope in isekai is where the whole class is transported somewhere in isekai. This kind of trope is one of the chaotic tropes as this will show a lot of the hidden side of a person.
Soon, Kogure felt that he is no longer sitting on his chair but on a hard floor. He slowly opened his eyes and just as expected, a luxurious room appeared before them, donned with gold and silver that even without light, the area glitters and glows.
"Welcome summoned heroes from another world! We welcome you to our Kingdom of Callacas!"
An old man that looks like a sage started talking causing my confused classmates to look at him. I quickly deduced that this guy must be the head summoner of this event or if he is not involved in the actual summoning himself, he is the one who ordered the summoning and has instructed those who performed it and is the main reason the summoning is a success.
"What is happening?" some of the confused girls who seemed to have no idea about the concept of isekai looked at the old man with a confused look.
"Don't be alarmed! You all are in the safe hands of the kingdom! You are all our summoned heroes that will save this world from ruins!" another voice came in and everyone turned to look at whose voice was it coming from.
As expected, the handsome prince seems to have been the usual prince charming in most fairytales, and some girls find him hot and handsome. Pretty typical but that's how things are.
"Everyone, escort the heroes to the palace. We will explain things over there." the prince ordered to the summoner guy and the latter nodded.
Soldiers appeared and escorted Kogure and his classmates out of the place. It seems to be the temple of this world. As much as they looked like they are caring for Kogure and the others, the soldiers are so suspicious. Kogure is calmly observing the surroundings and the first things he notices are the soldiers escorting them. They are grinning and smiling. Even though their eyes are covered by their helmet and the only thing he can clearly see are their mouths, just the smile alone is enough for Kogure to mark them as a red flag. Not only that but based on his observations, the gaps in their helmets lie in their eyes that are set on some of the pretty girls from Kogure's class.
Just from that alone, he is now certain this summoning is a mistake. However, he still hasn't evaluated everything so he decided to keep quiet.
Just as they were about to arrive, a sort of jolt suddenly entered Kogure's eyes that he felt it melting. He closed his eyes in pain and groaned as he held everything in place. He has a high threshold for pain but he didn't expect that to suddenly occur and the pain is beyond the scope of what he can easily handle.
"F*CK! What is going on?"
He opened his eyes and he realized that the whole place is frozen in time. The only one who can move is him.
"What is going on?"
Then, while his confusion just grew further, a panel appeared before him.
[Hero system has been established]
[Reading compatibility...Results: Perfect Compatibility]
[Congratulations! You have inherited the Hero System from the previous hero!]
"The f*ck? I don't want anything to do with this? Just give this to others!"
Instead of just the panel, it is now a female voice that has been talking in his mind.
"[Denied. You are the perfect candidate for the Hero System. It is just natural that you will be the one who will inherit and wield the power.]
"Oh really? I almost gave a f*ck."
"[...]"
Then Kogure's status panel appeared before him.
Name: Kogure Tachibana
Class: Hero
Level: 0
HP: 1000/1000
MP: 100/100
Status
Strength: 10
Defense: 10
Dexterity: 10
Intelligence: 10
Speed: 10
"Ha, this is bullsh*t. Why is my intelligence so low? I may not be the brightest person in the whole world but I am not that brainless!"
"[The intelligence stat isn't measuring your own intellect, Mr. Hero. It is measuring your capacity to use magic spells and utilize mana so please don't be offended.]"
"Tch, I am already offended that I have this system already. I just wanted to take a good nap for the rest of the day, not do this kind of crap like being a hero. And also if you want to reprimand me for saying so, just go and shut up. I don't give a single f *ck."
"[...]"
Kogure closed the panel and reject the notion of becoming a hero. As he closed the panel, time resumed and everything proceed like usual. While they are walking, Jin is smiling from ear to ear.
"Hey buddy, aren't you excited about this? We are sent to another world! Isn't this pretty much amazing?" Jin can't contain his excitement.
"In which part is amazing here? It feels like we are prisoners of war here at the mercy of these guards escorting us. I don't see the appeal you are talking about."
"Bro, you are always pessimistic. You should at least be a bit chill about it."
"Ha..." Kogure sighed in surrender. He didn't want to bother about this matter and he would rather stay quiet.
It didn't take them too long to reach the castle. They entered the castle grounds and soon got welcomed by multiple people that are dressed like big shots. Kogure immediately identified them as nobles. But his attention is not on the nobles but on the person sitting on the throne.
An old fat man donning the king's clothes. In Kogure's mind, he can compare the king in the same way to the ugly bastards he saw in many doujin he read in the past. Seeing someone in person who resembles too much on the description is just something else indeed. And comparing him to the prince, it seems like the mother of this prince is a real beauty because he can't see a single aspect of the king that has been inherited by him.
While Kogure is walking along with the others, he overheard someone from the nobles talk.
"Oh, are those the new meat shields we will be using for the next war? Looks like we will be able to last longer compared to the past."
"Yeah. There are some big guys from them but would you look at those girls they have? They would be great to be cultivated and given to the higher-ranking nobles. I can't wait to have a taste of at least a few of them.
Kogure heard all of those things that they are talking about. He was unsure of what to do after getting transported alongside with his classmates. But to think it was a hero summoning facade, only made him more excited. Something that he didn't expect to be there.
"Hey, system."
"[Is there a problem, Mr. Hero?]"
"Give me access to a weapon. Any kind of weapon will do."
"[Granted! Are you finally going to accept the role of a hero and fight for the safety of the world?]"
"Ha, perhaps," Kogure grinned.
But deep in his mind, a different thought is brewing.
"More like accelerating the end of the world."
