I Can't Be a Hero, So I'll Have to Cling to the Strong

After transmigrating for eighteen years, Lin Mo has always had a crack in the sky hanging over his head, visible only to him.

Just as he accepts reality and prepares to settle down as a meme-loving video creator, scraping by until the end of his days, his cheat finally arrives on the night of his eighteenth birthday.

In a dream with the look and feel of a Japanese RPG, Lin Xiyao, his childhood friend who has bullied him since they were young, awakens as the hero destined to save the world.

And he becomes the hero's personal sidekick, there to cheer her on and destined to be sacrificed at the finale: her [Best Friend].

He thought he'd spend the rest of his life living off his childhood friend's kindness in his dreams. Then Lin Mo wakes up and finds the weeds from his dream clutched in his hand. His stats are reflected in reality, and even his talents and abilities awaken in the real world.

Got it.

Protect Athena, plus dream-world looting and extraction.

I'll spend twenty years grinding on the novice slope, then emerge and go straight for the top!

Then, not long after...

Wait.

What do you mean there's more than one hero?

And what do you mean... they all want me to be the man behind the hero?!
