Summary
Our protagonist, having conquered the notoriously brutal “Vanta Black Ring” a thousand times, awakens in the body of “Ordinary Villager A (Hans)” within the tutorial zone. As monsters assault the village, he clings to the hope that the legendary hero Cadis will arrive to save them—until Cadis is slain in a single blow. Just as all seems lost, our hero unexpectedly absorbs the fallen champion’s powers. What becomes of the man who only wished to live a quiet life in the hero’s shadow?
