[Complete] 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~
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." Using
his 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 only
thing 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!
