[Legacy Of Heroes] is a game set in the fantasy world of Elmar. Where the players can explore the world of Elmar and interact with different races and species. It was highly praised by critics and audiences alike for its RPG elements.
You can be anything- A knight? Yes. A mage? Of course, without magic how can it be interesting? A fucking douchebag? Hell yeah. You have various builds you can pick from but the story is linear, it follows the same path with some choices along the way and a few different endings.
Well, the most praised part about the game was the random encounters and side quests involving side characters. There were many routes the protagonist could take, he could save others and betray others.
The game's story mostly revolves around the same old pattern of saving the world from an evil force but what sets it apart is character complexity and their own stories. There were heroines you could comfort and make them your romantic partner, heck you can even go for a harem.
But still, there are characters whose past and story are unknown, filler characters or should I say extra. They were clearly created to be used in specific scenarios in a game event or to just make the world feel more alive.
I glanced at the mirror before me looking at my chubby and fat figure wearing a white tunic along with brown pants, I had wheat-blonde hair covering my forehead, along with silvery white eyes. His face was obviously not so good looking as it was filled with fats but he had potential.
"Why him of all people?" I sighed clearly frustrated.
I had been transmigrated into the body of one such character, "Noah Von Blitzfeld". The youngest child of the Blitzfeld family and their disgrace. This guy, he was utterly weak, unlike his siblings who were far stronger.
He was at first a minor third-rate villain that the protagonist humbles because he was harassing his ex-fiancee, Elisabeth Von Eldestein, a major heroine of the game. That is how the protagonist wins her over.
If I want to describe this guy in one word it would be "Simp". He was a fucking lovesick guy, who was obsessed with Elisabeth, who found him annoying. After getting beaten up by the protagonist this guy calms down and actually becomes a supporting character.
Well, that should be fine, right? No, this guy is such a simp that during the attack in the academy, he sacrifices himself to save Elisabeth and dies. Yep, he dies saving the one who did not even care about his existence at all.
The worst is if you take the Elisabeth route, she fucks the protagonist on the day of the funeral of Noah. That should sting and burn one's complete dignity.
As for me, I have a love-hate relationship with the guy, I relate with him because like me, he is a lonely fucker, he had no friends except for the protagonist. And the reason I hate him is because I guess said it aloud already, he is a fucking simp.
But now I am in the body of Noah, and I don't know how but one thing is clear if I want to fucking survive I gotta stay away from Elisabeth at all costs. I did not have many specifics about her route, I was about to do it right after the hidden boss but yeah, the rest is history.
[Synchronization 78%...86%] The same mechanical voice rang inside my head.
"Can you stop that? My head hurts" I asked very politely.
[No.... 95%....98%]
"Oh please sh-" I was about to speak but a sensation so sharp and painful made my mind hazy. It was as if my head was hit by an axe which was splitting it in half.
-Thud.
I stumbled backward falling onto the wooden floor, my heavy body making a huge noise.
"Ughhhh, what the hell!?" I shouted my body still trembling due to the sheer amount of the pain.
[100%] The mechanical voice spoke again.
Memories started flooding my mind. Memories of Noah, his brothers, his sisters, his father, his mother, his aunt, his fiancee. Everything about them started to flood in my brain- how they treated Noah, how they..... resented him.
It all started to make sense now. Why Noah was all alone? Because he was made to be alone, he was hated by his own parents, and by his siblings except for his Aunt and Eldest brother. He had no one in particular who cared for him.
His engagement was to strengthen the power of the Blitzfeld Duchy along with Eldestein Duchy. He loved his fiancee and cared for her as a partner with whom he wanted to share his future, he wanted recognition and love from his parents.
He would do everything for that but in return.....
"You are a disappointment, Noah"
"Such a disgrace was given birth to by me, I am ashamed"
"Let's beat this ugly pig up more"
"This engagement is done only to strengthen our families, please don't take it as a sign that I have feelings for you"
Those voices were of his parents, his siblings, and his fiancee. It was the voices of the people he wanted to prove himself to, he wanted to be loved by them. He wanted them to feel proud of him.
But in truth, he was left all alone... just like me.
"Haha we are kind of similar, aren't we? You fucking simp" I muttered under my breath as I lifted myself up.
"You really chased them around hoping that they would love you? Yeah right," I laughed, laughed at the pathetic dream of this fatso. He wants to be 'loved' he says.
"But I've never seen such a hypocrite like you," I continued a tinge of sadness overshadowing my laughter, "I thought you wanted to be loved but you simp, you pushed away the people who cared for you."
"Your aunt, your elder brother not only did you push them, but you also talked to them rudely. You kind of deserved it, you fucker"
"Well, don't worry. Now, I am the one in control so, I will make things right."
I waved my hands around in the air.
[What are you doing?] The Mechanical voice in my head asked.
"I am trying to see my stats. In the game when the protagonist opens his stats window he waves his hand like this" I explained.
[You can just utter the Words 'Stats', you know? Don't have to do that weird shit in the open]
"Couldn't say that before?"
[You never asked.]
"Fine! Stats,"
As I said those words, a blue screen appeared in front of me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the blue screen, my thoughts were divided. At first, I was angry at my stats, plus the system was making fun of me being fat, 'Motherfucker'. But then my eyes fell on my abilities and Legacies.
I had three of them. This guy had so many opportunities that normal people don't have but still, he decided to suck on the cock of his not-so-loving father. Utterly a disgrace. I mean common this guy had three legacies.
[Two, one of them is from the merger of the soul]
Two* legacies but still decided to do that simping shit in the game, he could've been an invaluable asset. Even the protagonist has only one, Goddamn it!
'Wait'
"Hey, what do you mean by the merger of the soul?" I asked.
[It means that both of the Souls- Ethan and Noah's essence have been merged]
"I can see that but what are the benefits?"
[You can use your own abilities in the body of Noah]
"My abilities? Like this Weaving?"
[Yes] The voice confirmed.
"I see" I rubbed my chin while shaking my head. "Then that extra legacy is also mine?"
[Yes]
"Tell me about it"
[Can't access denied] The voice replied sternly.
"Why?" I questioned.
[User is not ready yet.]
-Creak
Before I could further question the mechanical voice, the door to my room opened with a creaking noise. Entering the room was a woman in her 30s, from her outfit, she was most likely a maid. She bowed slightly.
"Young master, His Excellency, Duke Friedrich Von Blitzfeld has called upon you"
"For what?" I asked but hearing my father's name struck two emotions in me- Fear and disdain.
"Duke Leopold Von Edelstein and his Daughter Lady Elisabeth have come to visit you" She replied maintaining a formal tone.
"I see, I will be there" It is time to first deal with that bitch.
