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.
