A transmigrates into a perilous world beset by natural disasters and gains a skill called "I Am Definitely a Big Shot."
Whenever he activates the skill, monsters are frightened away by his unfathomable, immeasurable big-shot aura.
But unexpectedly, the skill affects his own side too. They really take him for a big shot, giving him a house and money, and even offering him an official position among the ability users.
A thinks helplessly and sheepishly: How can I explain this misunderstanding without making everyone feel awkward?
To get everyone to realize he really isn't a big shot, he tries everything he can think of.
When everyone brainstorms, he stays silent, sighs, and furrows his brow.
Everyone: We are in awe! A true big shot is proud and aloof, speaks sparingly, and never opens his mouth without good reason!
When they go out to fight monsters as a group, he hides at the very back and doesn't lift a finger.
Everyone: We worship you! The big shot holds down the rear and steadies our morale, leaving the chance to gain experience to the younger generation!
A gets angry: I'm really not a big shot! I'm really not!
Everyone: Oh, big shot, you're always so modest!
A: ...
You're so good at flattery, it's a shame we haven't made you head of internal affairs.
It's lonely at the top. The days of being mistaken for a big shot are always as desolate as snow, and A doesn't like being showered with adoration. So he sneaks away and finds a roommate who doesn't know who he is.
His roommate is handsome and can cook, but he's too blunt and always offends people. Every day, a steady stream of enemies comes knocking. A is fiercely protective of his friends and believes in winning people over with virtue. He tries talking them down first, and if that doesn't work, he beats them all up and sends them packing.
But as time goes by, he starts to suspect his friend is the one in the wrong, because every time A beats someone up, his friend looks at him as if he wants to say something but can't.
One day, A can't hold back any longer: Do you owe those people money?
His friend can't hold back either: Do you know who you just beat up?
A dragon-class disaster, an S-class contaminant, a Lovecraftian leader... After his friend introduces them all, A laughs: The ones coming after you are monsters. Who do you think you are, the Light of Humanity?
The Light of Humanity, the strongest ability user at the pinnacle of human society, whose name has gone down in history, is supposedly on vacation right now.
Then his roommate nods earnestly and says A is really smart, just what you'd expect from a newly awakened big shot.
A: ...
For the first time, A feels a deep sense of doubt.
Help! Could I really be a big shot?!
