[Crossover] A Feasibility Report on Rehiring Heroes

Aian had spent two major expansions working hard in Eorzea. He went from being pummeled into the ground by a bunch of supremely powerful primals to holding his own against Omega and his boyfriend, even rolling through progression and farming content with his teammates. He took eighteen kicks from the Virtuous Wife and Awakening Husband head-on, becoming a Warrior of Light who could do everything from swinging an axe outside to whipping up steamed egg inside. The whole journey was nothing short of heartbreaking. Just how heartbreaking? Most people got beaten into a pulp by their mouse and keyboard. He was the only one who actually fought the "NPCs" with his own flesh and blood. At first, he was so afraid of pain that he begged for a quick death. Later, he could take hits to the face without so much as blinking. What a huge improvement. After enough pain, exhaustion, and deaths, you get used to it. Besides, wasn't he working so hard just to get on Hydaelyn's good side and have her let him live a few more days? But after hearing about the 5.0 trailer from his teammates, Aian had finally begun to think, "Once the next major expansion comes out, I'll be able to beat you up, you piece of trash, Hydaelyn." Then Hydaelyn kicked him right out of the launcher. With ten million gil in his bag, Aian swung his blade and sent a group of people who clearly looked like bad news flying. Looking at the 600 minutes of playtime he had left, he sincerely asked the white-haired friend in front of him, who was holding cotton candy and had an exclamation mark over his head: "Bro, I think you need a bodyguard. How about me?" And so began his one-way journey to a second career as a Warrior of Light. The protagonist first transmigrates from FFXIV, then into a crossover world. Readers unfamiliar with FFXIV only need to know that it's a super fun game! The protagonist is based on the canonical Warrior of Light, but his personality is a little different. It's just for fun. I just realized my timeline is wrong. I'm done for.
