Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend Chapter 2

I used to be a normal Japanese man. I was born into a normal family, graduated from school and college, and then beca an office worker.

I had my share of problems. All of them are probably sothing that every office worker has also experienced. Like a low salary that barely increased over the years or an annoying superior that I wanted to teach a lesson just once.

I also dont have any savings because I spent most of my salary on my hobby.

Then I reincarnated into this world. I dont know how or why it all happened. What I know is Im currently in a dieval Europe-like world as Welner von Zeavert, a counts son with mories of a Japanese man.

Actually, my past life mories used to be hazy. It only becos clear after an accident.

Before that, these mories are a confusing ss. Despite that, I still understandor rather I had no choice but to understand the fact that I reincarnated into this world.

Of course back when I just sorted out these confusing mories into my past life I was surprised. After that, I thought since it already happened its useless to be surprised and just accepted the fact. Thats why I also dont bother to search for how and why I reincarnated.

I did feel guilty to my parent in Japan for thinking like that, though.

As for the accident that make my hazy mories clear, it happened when I was seven. When I and my family are on the way to the capital the carriage I was in got flipped over. I hit my head and my elder brother, who was riding on the sa carriage as , unfortunately, lost his life. I received treatnt in the capital and thanks to the power of magic that this world has I recovered in just a day.

By the way, the accident is not caused by sothing grand like other noble sches or bandit attacks. It was a pure unfortunate accident.

After that accident, my family stayed for several days longer in the capital because of my brothers funeral and after we returned to the manor I started training both my body and martial arts like a madman.

At that ti I rember receiving looks of pity from my parents and all other adults in the manor. They probably thought I started training because my brothers death made feel a sense of responsibility as a new heir.

Of course, the truth is different. I did feel sad because I lost a brother that always pamper , but thats all. The actual reason I started my training is that I noticed sothing from the now clear mories of my past life.

This world is in fact the world of a ga that I played before and it was in the tiline before the ga started.

The ga is called What is a Just Path?

Its not a big hit. It received several critics like Cant you be more creative in creating the ga setting? or The music and design of character are bad or The story is boring but I heard the company still make so profit so its not a big flop either. Not sothing that will receive a sequel, but had its player base and hardcore players.

Well, Im not one of the hard Anyway, the community often said that its better than playing gas filled with landmine*

The problem that I have as soone inside the ga is its story.

Around the latter part when the hero and his party are fighting the Third of Four Heavenly King, the last Heavenly King led his army and attacked the royal castle. The castle that becos a battlefield along with the capital are destroyed, while all mbers of the royal family are killed. The only survivor is the second princess who is a mber of the hero party.

The event of the hero partys victorious return, only to see the ruined capital is quite impactful. Though, it was an obvious plot device to make the hero marry the second princess and beca a king.

When I saw that event I nonchalantly thought its good that he becos a king but isnt the repair work going to be troubleso?

But now that Im inside the ga I realized that if I was in the capital at that ti, as a noble, the heavenly kings army will kill .

Of course, theres also a chance that I wont die.

First, theres no exact description in the ga about Welner von Zeavarts death.

The ga only has a description of many knights and ministers thats inside of the capital died one after another but the description of what happened to any other noble, like , didnt exist. I can think of two reasons why. One, the developer thought that description is not needed for the ga developnt so they omitted it or two, the ga is just not that detailed.

Or maybe Im just not in the capital at that ti.

They all are possible, but I cant afford to gamble my own life based on so possibility.

My life I should be the one that protects it. To do so, I need to arm myself with an acceptable level of martial arts, so I can face the eventual start of the story.

I rember thinking like that while putting my most desperate effort into training my martial arts.

Those efforts produced results because at the age of twelve, I succeeded in enrolling into an academy in the capital, not because of my status, but because of my ability. In the academy, I will be able to learn the basics of my class.

Yes, this world like how a ga is has both skill and class. Skill is sothing that one is born with. Skill and class complent each other and will decide soones combat ability particularly in regard to fighting monsters.

For example, if soone has a [Mage] class along with skill [Magic Talent] then that persons output of magic will be far more powerful than others.

Also, both skill and class could be leveled up. No matter how powerful a skill soone has is, if the class is not leveled then that person could be defeated by a weaker opponent. Though, leveling a class is far harder than leveling a skill.

As for , my skill is just a common [Spearmanship]

Well, thanks to my effort I was able to enter this academys top class so I should be able to survive.

While lanting my fate, I once again reminded of the fact that the ga story has already started. As I saw Mazell Hearthing, the protagonist of this world becos my classmate.

*Landmine is a term for gas that have sothing that triggers or enrages the players. Like gas filled with annoying tropes, bad control, etc.

For clarification, its still unknown if a class is also sothing that a person is born with, like a skill or not.
