[Western fantasy + another world + no System + traditional fantasy + growing protagonist + slow burn + ensemble cast]
“My name is Aegonua. I will kill the transmigrator, the protagonist who came from Earth.”
Aegonua lives in a sword-and-sorcery world, and nightmares have tormented him since childhood. In them, someone keeps telling him the same thing: Everything you have belongs to me.
To cure Aegonua's nightmares, his mother entered the Forest of Dreams to seek a witch's help, only to become a servant of the gods for fifteen years. Determined to bring her back, Aegonua entered the forest too, but monsters soon drove him into a corner.
At the brink of life and death, the witch appeared and told him:
“You have been chosen as the transmigrator's vessel. When the transmigrator's soul arrives, your body will belong to them.”
“Until then, I'll lend you this sword. Don't die, or the transmigrator will have a lot of trouble.”
At that moment, Aegonua swore to himself that no matter how powerful the transmigrator was, he would endure those fifteen years.
His opponent was a transmigrator with a golden finger and a System, the fated protagonist. He was nothing but an insignificant vessel, an insignificant mortal.
Even so, he swore to make the transmigrator bleed!
He didn't know when the transmigrator would arrive, but he knew they needed his body. In that case, he would mutilate and destroy himself, keeping himself on the brink of death for fifteen years and forcing the transmigrator to delay their arrival.
Then, with this dying body, he would embark on a blood-soaked journey of suffering and seek the power to surpass the protagonist!
Soak the transmigrator's golden finger in blood.
Shatter the transmigrator's System with a sharp sword.
As a flesh-puppet vessel,
Surpass the protagonist!!!
