I'm A Hobgoblin, The Boss That Was Supposed To Be Defeated First. I'm Reincarnated And Ready To Go. ~Preparation For Defeating The Hero Who Will Come In Three Years~

最初に倒されるはずのボス、ホブゴブリンの俺。転生して本気出す。〜3年後に来る勇者を倒すための準備録〜
By 虫松 (https://mypage.syosetu.com/195344/)
Exhausted by his work at a black company, 38-year-old office worker Mamoru Kikuchi quietly passed away in a hospital bed."I want to live my next life as myself,"he said, yearning to wake up in the world of the game, a hobgoblin, a minor boss monster. The world he awakened in was the same one he had once loved: the classic RPG "Legendary Brave Regalia." The hobgoblin, moreover, appears early on as the "tutorial boss" defeated by the hero.Mamoru despaired at his fate of being killed as a mere stepping stone for the hero.However, he made a decision:"I'm done being someone else's foil. This time, I'm going to be the protagonist of the story." Usinghis natural business skills, modern knowledge, and experiences from his human days,he renovates a cave dungeon deep in the forest, lays traps, trains subordinate monsters, and gradually builds up his strength in preparation for a deadly battle with the hero. However, the "hero" wasn't the onlything waiting for him . Friends, betrayal, conspiracy, and the truth of the world. A reversal growth fantasy begins, in which a man reincarnated as a hobgoblin aims to rise above the weak and defy the "rules" of this world! Please also check out "Playthrough 2: I, a hobgoblin, must help the crybaby female hero become independent," which continues the story . Please also check out "Playthrough 3: I, a hobgoblin, won't the hero come?! This game is completely deserted. I'll reform my shitty management."
