I was a member of a rescue team, and I died while carrying out a mission.
Summoned by a goddess from another world, I was asked to become a hero and slay the Demon King who was about to destroy the world.
But I refused.
I figured that, no matter what, this was someone else's world, and as an outsider I shouldn't get too involved. Even so, I was given the task of finding and assisting the future hero, and my journey in another world began.
Merlin. That's my name in this world.
You may have heard of the chancellor who served the Saintess who unified the empire and the Holy Kingdom. Yes, we share a name. That was me.
You may have heard of the great archmage among the famed Knights of the Round Table who served the illustrious King Arthur. Yes, we share a name. That was me too.
You may have heard of the progenitor whom all elves revere as a god. Yes, we share a name. That was still me.
But you may not know that the Demon King who destroys this world also calls his teacher by that name.
And the hero who saves this world will call me teacher.
“Me? I like it best when people call me sir...”
