Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There Is A Problem

Chapter 3.2.
I’ve Been Reincarnated As A Mob

I was skeptical and afraid that I was not on Earth.

“You see, it is the job of adventurers to collect and sell monsters’ stones, pelts, and other such items from dungeons.
Monsters, you know, if you leave the dungeon unattended, they will come out and attack people.
It’s scary.”

My mom pointed to a truckload of monsters’ stones and pelts.
As I listened to the sound of the truck’s engine past me, my heart also went crazy with a sense of danger.

I broke my common sense that day.
That evening, I was watching TV in a daze, thinking I had been reborn in another world when I heard a news report.

There’s a tournament between Magic Academy, and it’s crazy.
The news was showing people in power suits with armor that looked like power suits, and the women in more revealing suits for some reason.

The announcer was getting excited about how the best adventurers are supposed to be flying, but when I saw the erotic, nerdy-powered suits, I realized something.
I had noticed.
I honestly wish I hadn’t noticed.

In the future, I’m planning to use my previous life experience and become rich.
I had vowed to study the lottery winning numbers first.
I had already piled up several notebooks with the average numbers written down.

But then he realized something.

“This is the world of ‘The Night of Magic’!”

I, who sat in front of the TV set playing the role of a quiet child, stood up and made an astonished cry.

“‘The Night of the Magic’ is a modern fantasy novel.
I don’t know much about the worldview where dungeons are born, but magic stones and monster materials sell at high prices, and adventurers have been treated favorably since long ago.

Based on this background, the story is about the protagonist who, while flirting with beautiful girls who appear one after another at the academy, protects the seal of the Demon God sealed in the academy from various enemies that will destroy the world.
Then, the seal was broken, and the hero defeats the Demon God.

Regarding the template development, when this novel was published, such development was novel, and it was completed after 25 volumes were released.
It’s a level that impresses me that I didn’t get enough of it now.
I’ve never seen a school fantasy come to an end.

In my previous life, I finished about five years before I died.
I bought volumes 1-10 and 25.
I got bored in the middle of the book and left it alone.
I only bought the last volume because I was curious about what happened at the last volume.
That is typical of long series.

This was a popular low-fantasy series, and the anime goes for five seasons.
It was a popular work that was also made into a game.
Incidentally, the game was an open world, and people could make characters separately from the main characters in the novel.
The game was an RPG that was popular not only with its fans but also with gamers, partly due to its interactions with the novel’s main characters.
I played it a lot.

I realized that I had entered the world of the novel.
It’s a common pattern in a web novel’s story.
And I had never heard my name.
I’ve seen all the anime that made it to the final episode, so I know I’m not a sub-regular character or buzzing mob.
I’m not sure because I have very few character names in my memory, but I remember the characters in that novel because they were cute.
I knew no one looked like me.

I’m a perfect mob.
That is a pattern I see in novels from time to time.
I was reincarnated as a mob.
My future was closed by a dark cloud.
After all, this is a world where monsters occasionally appear and kill mobs.
I don’t want to play the role of a man who died screaming.

“But there are cases where mobs become rivals of the hero or become lovers with one of the heroines.”

There is a pattern that if someone reincarnated as a mob they could become strong.
They become good rivals with the hero, and if the hero is also a reincarnated person, they’re usually an annoying hero, so they defeat them and take their place as the hero.

A common pattern is that the heroine and the mob become friends and become lovers.
Although this is a development that makes one wonder what a mob is.

The mob hero becomes strong with a deadly effort.
That’s also the possible pattern.

In a world where monsters roam free, I’ll never know when I’ll die in a monster’s attack.
Moreover, a dubious dark group may carry out a terrorist attack.
On top of that, my home is close to the institute.
The possibility of getting involved is extremely high.

That is not an option.
I thought and decided to work myself to death.
There is a very high possibility that I will die if I don’t do that.

Besides, I might be able to become a lover of the heroine.
In the novel, the hero is liked by many heroines, but my favorite heroines are usually sub-heroines.
There’s no need to compete with each other.

And if you become an adventurer, you can become rich.
A high-ranking adventurer can make millions of dollars in a single earning.

That might be better than studying the winning numbers of the lotto, so I decided to become a strong adventurer.
I decided to become strong and join the hero in fighting off terrorists at the Third Academy, getting kidnapped on a school trip, and defeating the Demon God.
I can say that this sounds like a fun development.

Even at a young age, I was determined to be strong and become stronger.

“But how do I go about training?”

First of all, how to train, I sighed.
But, well, I’m five years old.
A quick start from here will do the trick.

That’s what I thought, but it didn’t go so easily.
I longed to become an adventurer, and with my twinkling eyes, even when I asked my parents about my training methods, it was only running a marathon or helping out at home.

That’s right.
I was a mob character, and my parents were a mob.
They were not adventurers.
So there was no way they would know how to train me.

A dark cloud was already hovering in front of me.
