He was hit by a car when he tried to save a girl and was reborn as Lex, the most powerful character in the early stages of the RPG world! He starts off at a staggering level of 50! He’s an all-rounder well equipped with skills from all areas and he’s even good-looking! This was an absolute big win! Or so one might think… but Lex was actually just a minor character in the early stages, like those early SR cards in online games or the old paladin with the silver spear in SRPGs. Even if you’re very strong at the start, you’d soon become completely useless! As I battled with the monsters and went through events I was bound to experience while enduring the poor growth rate, disappointing unique skills, and the status of being a jack of all trades but master of none, I made up my mind— 「I’ll just dump all the troublesome things onto the game’s hero who should be out there somewhere and retire in a quiet place!」 This is the story of an ordinary person looking for a “hero” who somehow ends up becoming the hero who saves the world!

Afraid of letting more people get killed by Hifumi, the Princess–who is the only one to managed to keep her sanity act rationally–let him go free. Thus started Hifumi’s fun life of traveling the world, and unrestrainedly killing any who attempt to get in his way.

Thor Regus, a boy who lived in the empire, was banished to the territory of the Demon Lord by the hands of his father, the Duke. The reason was that he could only use [Alchemy] and didn’t have any combat skills. The empire was a military country, and those without combat skills were discriminated against. That is why the Empire decided to make him a hostage and sacrifice to the Demon Territory. This is a story about an exiled boy who transcends Empires and Heroes and transforms the Demon Territory into a civilized power.

There was a mysterious old man who approached the failed swordsman with the “100 million years button”. A magic button which can achieve the same effect as training for 100 million years if you push it. The failed swordsman who pushed the button had his doubts, but immediately felt tremendous power rising in his body. So he pushed the button many times. However it was a cursed button. The moment it was pushed, he was confined to the 100 million years prison of time. The first 100 years were devoted solely to training. After 1000 years he had forgotten why he swung his sword. He stopped thinking completely after 10,000 years had passed. After 100 million years he became crippled and finally managed to return to the real world. At the same time losing all his memories from the past 100 million years, the only thing that remained were his sword techniques. “I can become stronger just by pressing the button!” or so he thought and pushed the button many times after that. Foolishly trapping himself in that 100 million years of hell each time. As he continued this loop, he began to think “If I destroy this world, will I get out of here?” A few billion years later, he finally escaped from the loop. This is the story of a failed swordsman trying to make a name for himself in the world.

In fact, he already has the power and skill needed to overwhelm the people that summoned him. That is because during his “Chūnibyou Phase”, he obtained a skill called “The Overlord of Variant”. He wasn’t able to use it in his former world but can in this wold. Thus, by using the power he obtained, the journey to build a country in the new world has begun.
