Chapter 2- The Hero? That’s my roommate?

Turns out, I wasn’t the only one reincarnated.

The guy chosen as the Hero of Light was my old roommate, Darren—the same guy who never washed his dishes and used my shampoo without asking.

We met again at the Guild registration.

“Avan?! You got isekai’d too?”

“You owe me ten bucks from our last pizza order.”

“I’m the Hero of Light now.”

“I’m the Future Villain.”

“…bro what?”

⸻

-Part3- I join the Guild somehow

__

“So let me get this straight,” I said to the receptionist. “To register as an adventurer, I need to complete a trial?”

She nodded without looking up from her crystal clipboard. “Yes. Defeat the Trial Slime. It’s in that room.” She pointed to a small wooden door with a doodle of a smiling slime holding a dagger.

“Trial Slime,” I muttered. “That doesn’t sound too bad.”

[WARNING: The Trial Slime has defeated 87 new adventurers today.]

[It is nicknamed “The Traumatizer.” Good luck.]

“…I feel lied to.”

Part 4: Slimed and Shamed

The Trial Slime was not cute. It wasn’t blue. It wasn’t small. It was the size of a car and oozed like someone’s cursed jelly dinner.

It also immediately slapped me across the room.

“OW! I THINK MY SOUL LEFT MY BODY FOR A SECOND!”

[You took 13 damage. Out of 15 total HP.]

[You are what the system refers to as: Very Squishable.]

“Oh no. I’m gonna die again. And this time it’s not even noodles.”

But then—

[Skill Unlocked: “Desperation Dodge” – Activated under extreme fear.]

[You flailed so hard you accidentally dodged.]

I rolled right under the slime as it lunged again, and somehow—miraculously—stabbed it with a stick I was holding.

[CRITICAL HIT!]

[Trial Slime Defeated.]

[LEVEL UP! x2]

[You are now: Level 3!]

[New Title: “Flailing Survivor”]

I lay on the ground gasping. “I’m not even mad. I’ll take it.”

I returned to the guild bleeding, burned, and covered in slime goo.

The receptionist looked mildly surprised. “Oh. You didn’t die.”

“Thanks for the faith.”

[Main Quest Unlocked!]

Form a Party with Other Weirdos.

Reward: Actual Progress in Life.

“Cool. Where do I find weirdos?”

[Scanning… Match Found.]

[Recommended Party Member: Luna Nightwhisper – Half-elf. Rogue. Aggressively antisocial.]

We met five minutes later. She threw a knife at my head before saying hi.

“Who sent you?”

“I just wanted to party up—”

She pressed another knife to my throat.

“I don’t do parties. Or people.”

I raised both hands. “Understandable. I also hate people. Especially heroes. And slimes.”

She paused. “You had slime goo on you when you walked in.”

“You noticed?”

She slowly lowered the blade. “Fine. I’ll join. But touch my loot and I stab you.”

[Party Formed!]

Avan + Luna: Dysfunctional Duo Activated.
