From Fake to Genuine Hero

In the eroge grim RPG “Wilidistella Quest ,” Elmica the Fake Hero was a classic villain. A noble with immense talent, he was falsely identified as the Prophesied Hero. His pride corrupted him, leading to his inevitable defeat at the hands of the True Hero.

I woke up as him. The hated mid-boss. While living a quiet life could save me, it would condemn the game’s heroes to their canonical suffering. I won’t let that happen. I’m tearing the script apart.

New Objective: Become the “Previous Generation Hero.” I will complete the main story before the protagonist even gets his first sword.

…System Error?

I’m topping the popularity charts?

The narrative is diverging from the original?

And my exploits are being adapted into a comic in the real world…?!
