W-Wait he’s NOT a protagonist?!

Charlie was just an average countryside boy, who didn't seem to have any grand future prospects, well at least today he would be known as an adult, as he had turned 15

Though today was his birthday it felt like any other day to him, his so called "coming of age" was nothing but a legal coming of age, the only thing that changed is that he could probably go to a brothel and have some fun

To him the future seemed bleak, he hated the fact that he was born of such a low standing, he hated the fact that when he died he wouldn't be remembered and would fade away forgotten in the sands of time

He sighed as he chopped fire wood "if only I was born the son of noble, no even just a bit of talent in swordsmanship would be fine too"

As he finished his daily routine he was left with a bit of free time before dinner

He headed to the tavern hoping to get a drink, hoping for someone to buy him a drink

For a family like his which consisted of 3 brothers and 2 sisters it was a large expenditure for his parents

But he still hoped cause it was hope which was caused everyone to hang on to their life, with no hope life itself would dwindle away

Just as he arrived heard a ruckus inside the tavern even more than usual

It seemed some traveller had just arrived which wasn't a big surprise to him, travellers came here often telling stories of legendary heroes from other worlds and great sages with unparalleled power

His personal favourite was about a young boy who ventured out to sea to become a great king of the seas

(A/N: One piece anyone?)

As he walked in he saw a large entourage of soldiers around a young man who looked no older him

The young man had a feminine but masculine face with neat golden hair, to put it simply he was handsome!

This was none other than Han L- COUGH* it was none other than Arthur!

He walked around the edges of the tavern while eyeing the kid

Charlie walked up to an old drunkard with a few prostitutes in his arms, his name was old dick

(A/N: As you can see here your senpai has a great naming sense p.s pls give me a list of Names that sound super old and catholic)

Old dick is a drinking buddy of his dad so he was naturally quite familiar with him

Charlie asked "So mind tellin me who that?"

Old dick was flushed red and responded with "well it's a noble!"

Charlie rolled his eyes curtly saying "I could already tell that even a beggar like you could tell"

The old man laughed saying "I guess that true innit, well if ya wanna know I'll tell, it's actually our province's pride the 1 in a 10,000 talent! Arthur Pendragon!"

As quick look of shock flashed in Charlie's eyes as it turned into admiration and envy and then quickly faded away

He's always heard about Arthur's great exploits in the capital, like how he forged a contract with the capitals biggest local trading firm which held an insane amount of assets

\So master we should be heading home it was nice of theses soldiers to invite us to a round of drinks\

/mhm those furries are waiting for us after all/

And this simply with no problems they walked out of the bar as the villagers and soldiers saluted in the most respectful manner they could

(A/N: hehe you thought I would make that Charlie kid somewhat special cus I have him a name and a bit of dialogue but little did you know that I made him for NO reason Muahhahaha)

As they arrived the horses huffed and neighed after a long journey with only one stop

Arthur walked into the manor as a myriad number of maids and butlers came out and greeted him

He nodded and all of them went back to work, Arthur proceeded into his room which felt all so nostalgic it felt like yesterday that his master spoke into his ear the words that changed his life

As he reminisced about that past our system was thinking of "other" things

//well it the moment of truth is Arthur a protagonist or not//

/So Arthur shall we meet the "bunny men"/

\I guess it time huh? But master do you think they would actually help?\

/Of course after all this time you've levelled up quite a bit and my inventory has increased and there many new things I can synthesise and with the money that we already made, and with the help of theses new comrades well let's just say it won't be too long til you reach the pinnacle of this world/

\If you say so\

They proceeded to a large grass field with quite a few facilities, a shooting range for both arrows and magic, a running track and a few other similar facilities

This was the barracks for the last 4 years the "bunny men" were trained as elite soldiers that were mainly meant to be loyal dogs

Arthur walked up to the main building as a officer had run up to Arthur and saluted before guiding him towards an area which was located deep underground which seemed to be supported with some kind of magic

Arthur appeared in front of what seemed to be a large prison cell

Arthur inquired "what is all of this"

The officer replied "Sir! This is a deep underground training facility used to train death row prisoners and to brainwash them into becoming powerful loyal soldiers for the army!"

A hint of shock filled Arthur's eyes as it quick faded

He at first was chocked but the more he thought about it the more he understood and accepted it

The security in every province was very tight, the empire although called the most powerful empire was not so much more powerful than other countries which were considered superpowers, it's their immense pride, ingenuity, and acceptance to changes which made them powerful

And a sight like re-using prisoners made sense

He quickly said "So where are those Demi-humans which I gave to the 6th battalion 4 years ago?"

The officer replied "Sir!, they've been trained in this facility for 4 years on a strict schedule they will undoubtedly have undying loyalty towards you!"

Arthur nodded and walked over to where the officer led him

It was a dark damp cell it looked much harsher than any other one could tell that no human would be able to survive in such a cell for 4 years and in the middle of the empty cell laid 3 red eyed rabid looking beast men it seemed as though their east were cut off a long time ago

Their hair was messy and the cell stank like shit

Arthur felt no pity for them, although they looked miserable he couldn't even force the pity, although the empire looked peaceful it was actually in a raging war against the Demi-Humans, and because Demi-Humans are not only stronger than humans, they have a longer lifespan , their intelligence is on par with humans, their innate talent is also higher, and their productivity rate is sky high

Humans have been barely been able to get by, if it not for the higher amount of Guardians that humans had humans would've most probably gone extinct by now
