A/N: Hello everyone! This is a cannon of what could have happened if Naofumi reacted differently than he did and what the outcome would be. This is after the difference, but maybe you'll see some difference in the story itself. It's not YAOI (Boy Love). Also, Naofumi's past is a little changed by me. Hope you'll like it! WARNING: There is cursing & heavy bullying/ bordering murder

In a blink of an eye, everything he had ever held shattered before him. 'Every open wound is healed by time' they say. However, this one left a scar. A scar that was gently cared by the two girls he held dear to him. Yet, scars don't heal that easily. History will be repeated if he ever forgets these past events that's befallen him. He could lose everything... again

Naofumi finds L'Arc on the battlefield and decides to save him. They get to talking and...end up understanding each other a lot more than before.

Does the hero always win? All fairy-tales end when the heroes save the day, however, is reality like that? "I'm the Shield; my duty is to protect. If a hero is not enough, I shall become whatever is necessary. Devil, demon, Demon Lord. I need defense, defense that surpasses the gods. To protect those whom I've been left with, to fullfil my duty. I'm the Shield!" "I am the Shield!"

The four cardinal heroes have been summoned, but what if there was another summoned. One who wields a most unusual weapon and thought to be useless from the start by most. Though Ryu will show prove them wrong as he faces the waves. OCXHarem and bashing to most heroes except Naofumi.

En Melromarc, el Héroe del Escudo es odiado y tratado injustamente. En un país donde es amado y admirado, ¿seguirá habiendo problemas? (Traduccion del fic hecho por Lord of the land of fie)

After reading a strange book, Naofumi finds him self in a new world with a rather attractive red head. Innocent Naofumi. Hinted L'Arc x Naofumi. Full Summary inside at the bottom. Rated because of language, but nothing you wouldn't hear in High School and I'm paranoid.

Cuando Naofumi adquirió a Raphtalia no le informaron de dos cosas: Que los demi-humanos crecían para adaptarse a su nivel y que ellos también pasaban por una época de celo. ¿Cómo lidiará Naofumi con esto?

A world has dedicated itself to fighting the Waves of Destruction at its source. Sending out Vassal Heroes to scout a medley of worlds, a man on the run from the traumas of his past touches down on a world with one Holy Hero left remaining...

A Shield Hero named Sapphire buys a slave as a battle partner. However, what happens is the development of a friendship.

Okay it's my first time doing this but, I really loved the anime but I was not satisfied with how things turned out, I didn't finish the story yet but I am waiting or reviews

What happens when a young soldier is given a second chance at life, but is charged with saving a world at the cost of that life? How will he deal with this new world? Come aboard and find out!

Naofumi is saved from Malty's betrayal. But the world isn't done with him yet.

Along with the four legendary heroes, there were two more figures. Both destined to one day fight one another to determine the fate of the world. Follow the Divine Paladin and the Beggar as they fight alongside the wronged shield hero. In time will the shield hero stop them from their destiny or allow them to do as destiny wishes? Rated M for foul language, gore, and smut later on.

'Why are they like that? What has he experienced in his life that made him look at anyone… with those eyes? Raphtalia wanted the answer to the question ever since she met the Shield Hero. Cold, and menacing eyes, he had stared at her with such hatred-filled eyes. All that he said... "I will never trust another woman again..." But how far will that saying go for Naofumi? (AU Story)

The last thing he could remember, he was reading a book about four legendary heroes. But now? Now he was trapped in another world, surrounded by people he didn't recognize, and with a shield stuck to his arm. And the book said nothing about a place called 'Siltvelt'. Alternate Universe.

Naofumi's done it. The waves of Catastrophe are over. The worlds were saved. But he isn't happy because his hardest choice still lies ahead of him. A choice he isn't even sure if he's allowed to make himself or not. He's so afraid of what he doesn't know... until he decides to follow his heart instead of his mind. RaphxNaofumi

While sleeping with his lovely wife, Daymond accidentally sends them and a large portion of his fighting force to the world of ROTSH, and he is the Shield Hero. Can Daymond resist the urge to blow his cover as an OverSeer and what is he planning to do with the shield? Rated M for later chapters.

A moment expounded upon at the end of Episode 25 in the anime. Explaining what went through Naofumi's mind at the flag raised over Rurorona Village. and why it was so important to him. With a pinch of Raphtalia/Naofumi.

Following her death, she was summoned by a dying wizard who only had one request. Taking the second life as payment, she heard the man out and thus began a journey to keep her promise. Iconic isekai trends aside, this is just something I wrote off the top of my head after finishing the anime. Whether you like it or not, I hope you enjoy.

Alcatraz, once a legend to the people of Melromarc only to be betrayed by the King and hunted down. After on the run for a while, the wave of destruction hit nearly killing him. Now a month has passed since the wave and he starts to make his way to the Capital only to run into an old friend and his slave. ( The Rise Of The Shield Hero The Lone Ranger)

Naofumi is still plagued by his old memories, even after being made the new Lord of Rurorona Village. One night it all becomes too much for him. Fortunately, his loyal sword has good ears. And though she acts childish sometimes, she knows just what to say to make him feel better. Naofumi/Raphtalia

L'Arc ends up in Naofumi's nightmare, trying to find him as he faces Naofumi's inner demons. Inspired by Sweet Dreams by SeliaHearts. @SeliaHearts: your fic inspired me a bit, so I wrote this. Plz & thank u for your blessing.

...into a demi-human. Also, another story of an unlikely play date. *L'Arc x Naofumi*

An alternate version of the original story. Naofumi learns early on that there's a lot more to the legendary weapons than he thought. How will this knowledge change his otherworldly experience? Rated M just in case. Slight AU.
