The Fake Hero Becomes the Real Hero

The Fake Hero of a tear-jerker game world shatters the bad end to save the heroines—!! The Fake Hero, Elmika. A mid-boss appearing in the guaranteed-bad-end tear-jerker game Viridistella Quest, he’s a stepping-stone character who, having been mistaken for the prophesied Hero, behaves arrogantly as a result—only to be defeated in the end. Having been reincarnated as that hated character, I take on the role of the strongest previous Hero, using my knowledge of the original story and efficient leveling to save the heroines who are headed toward ruin. “Now then, Lady Saintess. …First, you don’t mind if I deal with this scoundrel, do you?” As a result, the original story’s scenario somehow gets rewritten, and the Fake Hero Elmika rises to first place in the popularity rankings—!? Reincarnated as the arrogant villain known as the Fake Hero in a tear-jerker game world, he saves the heroines and shatters the bad end—a tear-jerker-reversal fantasy!
