A Hero in the Alternate World

by Random Guy who likes Konosuba

The timeline of the story is a few months prior to Kazuma got reincarnated. Guardian, a young boy whose name is unknown, died and went to the alternate world without any cheat item. And now, he was in a world full of swords and magic. (WARNING: THE STORY HAS LN SPOILERS, PLEASE READ LN VOL. 6 IN ADVANCE) Yes, the boy in the story cover is my main OC Guardian.

3. Entering the First Battle!

Three days later...

I attended an emergency quest where we have to fight against the Demon King's Army.

"That... is what a real battle feels like..." I muttered as I watched the battle unfold in front of my eyes.

'But anyway, let's get this job done first and get ourselves some more money.' I thought as I drew my broadsword and leaped over the wall.

By the time I landed, I heard loud footsteps behind me. And when I looked back, an ogre raised its club.

Before the ogre can attack, I jumped and slashed the ogre with my sword, the ogre was sliced in half. A horde of goblins rushed towards me after and so, I concentrated and chanted "Fireball!" and killed a few goblins.

By the time I finished killing them, the Demon King's Army retreated and everyone got a reward.

Of course, I didn't do well during the emergency quest, so I didn't earn much money. By then, I heard fellow adventurers are talking about me.

'Psst, aren't he supposed to be strong? Why did he kill so fewer monsters?'

"Give him a break, he was just Level 1 and that was his first fight. So you can't really expect much, can you?"

"Whatever! The point is, he is weak, that's all!"

'But his stats were pretty good, even though he was level 1, he got decent strength, intelligence, and luck. I say he is a force to be reckoned with.'

I looked back to find out who stood up for me.

It was a silver-haired thief whose face has a scar on her right cheek.

"Don't be silly, Chris-"

Thank you, Chris.

"He almost got himself killed in that quest. A force to be reckoned with? What a joke!"

I'll get you for that, random guy in navy blue armor and with a cursed sword hanging on the belt.

Seriously, what the heck is wrong with them? Stop talking about me!

Feeling a little bit down and not wanting to hear what they talk about, I left the Adventurers Guild.
