The prince was abducted by a dragon on his coming-of-age day.
According to the prophecy, the king and the royal court mage summoned a hero from another world using a magic circle.
The hero looked to be in his early twenties, with handsome, refined features and the uniquely clear-eyed naivety of a modern college student. His words brimmed with excitement:
“It’s okay. As long as I don’t advance the plot, this continent won’t be destroyed!”
The people in the palace, who had no idea what he was talking about: ?
The hero took the ancestral sword and one hundred gold coins the king gave him, then set off.
In the first year, the hero searched every trash can on the entire continent.
In the second year, the hero tried every entertainment attraction in every major city, and became obsessed with playing cards and arm wrestling with giants.
In the third year, armed with the scrolls he had collected from various post stations, the hero went all over the land, from mountaintops to the sea, opening treasure chests.
In the fourth year, the hero sold all the treasures he’d found in the chests, bought a plot of land, and started a farm raising chickens and growing crops. Every day, he eagerly followed the ups and downs of turnip prices in the neighboring town.
In the fifth year, the hero was accepted into the most famous university in the empire. He researched postpartum care for sows and devoted himself to agriculture. Not only did he become the only person in the empire to earn the degree of Grand Archmage, he also published several SCI papers.
The prince waited and waited, until he could wait no longer. He raised his sword and cut off the dragon’s head.
As he watched the blood trickle across the ground, an indescribable calm settled over the prince.
He should have done this ages ago.
But the very next second, the hero teleported in front of the prince and demanded to know why he hadn’t waited for him to finish every quest first. Now everything was ruined! How was he supposed to get the achievement for defeating the BOSS using a special method?
The prince, who had finally found peace and thought he could reconcile with the entire world: ?
A fourth-wall-breaking hero devoted to earning the platinum trophy x a hapless prince who waited ages for the hero to come rescue him
The prince is the top.
