Do I Really Have to Be the Hero?

Ivan transmigrates into the game he knows best, The Strange Tales of Heroes.

When he learns that he's become one of the game's seven most powerful bosses, each bearing the title of "Hero," the corners of his mouth turn up.

"Maybe I'm the Berserker. The lower my health, the higher my damage, and the higher my damage, the more health I get."

"Or the Marksman would be great. With that attack range, you can do whatever you want!"

"How about I dream big and get the Demon Lord? A perfect all-around powerhouse."

"As long as I'm not the gloomy boy Assassin, I'm good. Actually, that's fine too. One-hit kills sound pretty fun."

"What do you mean I'm the Silent Incantation Caster? Isn't that a mage? And a glass cannon, no less!"

"What do you mean my ability is absolute magical adaptability, so I can learn a spell just by looking at it?"

"Is my family running the magic academy? Are people just going to let you look at their spell formulas?"

"Double magic proficiency? Buddy, do you know how expensive a staff is?"

"What, I also have to take out the other six bosses? With me, a squishy mage..."

"So, are you saying I absolutely have to be a Hero?"
