On a simple outing to the local library for a Norse mythology paper, Cillian is transported to another world, with different rules and nature than his. With only a sword, his wits, and a single friend he rarely fights with, can he rise to the challenge?

Raphtalia convinces Naofumi to play a game of catch. Set shortly after the two-headed dog fight in the first light novel/episode 2 of the anime. Just a little fluff piece born because I wished there had been a scene showing Raphtalia actually playing with her ball.

Have you ever wondered how the narrative would have altered if Malty and Naofumi swapped places? Malty Melromarc as the shied hero, and Naofumi Iwatani as the prince of Iwatani? Haha. Maybe in another life.

Naofumi Iwatani was a natural hero; the Spirit of the Shield knew that too well, scratch that, it was prideful about it. Before being a Cardinal hero, he had already earned the title in another world. Instead of returning to his world, he appears in Merlomarc, asking him to be a hero once again. It's a shame because he has no other choice. Beta by Milarqui

Story Concept up for use: Aultcray had passed away. But just this once he was given another chance to make things right. To save his wife, his people. To unify the heroes properly against the waves. And to treat the Shield Hero with the respect he deserves. Witness the grand return of The Wisest King of Wisdom.

You know, I never actually believed that the possibility of being Isekai'd was real, but damn was I wrong.

And after letting myself get captured by bandits who planned to sell me into slavery, I also became the bodyguard of Malty S Melromarc.

Now finding herself as the bow hero in this new world, how will a member of the Kaiserriech shape it?

Collaboration with RLTygurr. Naofumi Iwatani was your typical 10-year-old kid. Young, energetic, and so done with boring old school. Now, he's been summoned to another world as the Shield Hero!

Richard Williamson never suspected that a simple outing to a Japanese bookstore would turn out they way it did, but now he has been transported to another world with a young man he just met. And why on earth are these strange men in cloaks talking about Cardinal Hero's? More importantly where is the coffee?

Brought into the world of Shield Hero under unusual circumstances years before canon wasn't something Narvas was expecting...even less so that there was no summoning circle, no plot to frame him for a crime he didn't commit and nobody aside from the Vassal Claw on his arm telling him what to do. In a world as cutthroat as Shield hero, however, survival is a goal unto its own.

When he goes to the slave dealer to try and find some enslaved villagers from Raphtalias villiage, he finds someone else. And boy is he glad he did. based off the light novel pretty much one shots of the interactions between the two of them. Still, read if you want to see a happy and smiling Naofumi

Reincarnated in the world of Shield Hero as a Duke from Melromark I come to realize my life depends on three idiots and a kid with anger issues. Yeah, fuck that. I want to live a long and prosperous life, so lets build an army strong enough as to not depend on those four, shall we? (Kingdom Building, Essence CYOA, Slavery, Politics, probably harem)

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!"
