The Hero Dies

"In the realm of typical Transmigration/Isekai story, Kafka wakes up to an inexplicable reality—he has somehow become a part of the novel that he red the night before. However, he isn't the protagonist or a formidable hero; instead, he embodies the role of a mere third-rate villain with the ability to transform into a Werewolf. Things take a dire turn when, within the opening chapter, Kafka inadvertently causes the demise of the story's Main Character—a being with the extraordinary power to morph into a fearsome Dragon. Now faced with an unforeseen responsibility, Kafka grapples with the daunting task of safeguarding humanity in a world without its hero. As Kafka navigates this unfamiliar terrain, he must confront not only the challenges of his newfound identity but also the repercussions of altering the story's course. Will he rise above the limitations of his villainous role and find a way to defend humanity without the expected hero by his side?, but with only his system?"

It's Time to Part Ways

[All of a sudden he was in a Colosseum. He looked everywhere, but there was not a single spectator, except it was just him holding a single dagger in a lonely void of silence.]

[Then came a familiar darkness enveloping him. Suddenly, he felt a gaze staring at him from the abyss. With his trembling hands, he gathered all of his courage and swung his dagger with all of his might at his back—"Swish! Swish! Whoosh! Whoosh!...."—but there was no one there. He began swinging in all directions, But alas, there was only air, then came a-

KILLING INSTINCT!!!-He instinctively blocked by crossing both his arms, this time properly utilizing his metal wrist braces. However it was not able to withstand the force, instantly shattering, as he flew backwards "CRASH!!"-And without pause the monster grabbed his feet tightly, thrashing him around everywhere, but then anger began welling up in him-even so the monsters hold was too strong, so to escape his grasp-He twisted his ankles "Crack!!"-and used his entire body weight with the momentum-Lunging his body forward at-]

"Pant, Pant, Pant"

[He woke up with his body already morphed, as cold sweat came running down all over his back, and when he looked down, his entire right hand was covered in fur....

"Huff, Huff-"

and when he calmed down, he felt that his teeth were unusually big, causing him discomfort in his entire mouth.]

"Sigh....., So it was just a dream huh...."

But me training that way seems to be the most effective way to jump onto the next stages of my transformation.

"At least I wouldn't be bullied when I come to the school, I guess I'll have to thank Beamard for that."

[As he got up and got ready to go to school, he first looked for his uniform which were given to him a week prior before his entrance ceremony, it was just a small black wrist band that would shoot synthetic fiber, and cover his entire body with black clothing after he's done poly morphing.]

[After he had found it, he then wore a white T-shirt and a black jogging pants, meanwhile wearing the same colored black jacket or shorts is optional. The fibers that this clothes were made out of are easily recyclable materials, so you can rip apart as many times as you would like, and it can easily be massed produced.]

"This worlds clothing companies is pretty advanced indeed."

I guess this how the author fixed the clothing issue, especially considering that every time the main characters and others morphed into their inner beast forms, they'd obliterate their clothes, leaving nothing behind. Without this solution, everyone here would end up naked, risking the novel's PG status.

'But now that this novel had turned into reality, I wonder how the synthetic fiber would work?' In the novel it was illustrated that after the main characters were done morphing, the synthetic fiber would immediately shoot up and cover their entire body, but they delicately avoided drawing certain Ehem, defining features and illustrations. 

However now that it had become like this, their camel toes and other manly details. 'NO!!, I don't even want to begin imagining it, I'm having nightmares just from the thought of it'

'Sigh...., I gotta stop thinking about weird things, this body that I transmigrated into is naturally gifted, I guess all of his luck went into this' So I reassured myself that I definitely won't be lacking when it comes to that department.

[Then as he went into the mirror and looked at his reflection. He didn't even feel weird about himself. There was none of that uncomfortable feeling of seeing a different face everyday, in fact he was beginning to see some similar features that he had back on earth, maybe it was just his hallucination, but he felt as if he had truly become a part of this world.]

...

Cerra: "B-Big brother Farkas, Ehmm...., can you pinky promise me that we'll see each other again?" as she shyly spoke while hiding both her hands at her back.

[Kafka just smiled and said these words in a cheerful tone], "Gladly!!"

Then both their pinky finger met and locked.

Cerra: "Then now that it's locked, I'm going to make sure that it's extra locked!!"

[She then revealed, what she was hiding on her other hand.]

Cerra: "Take this big brother!!."

[It's an earring with a diamond shape design at its bottom.]

"What is that?"

Cerra: "It's an earring!!, I'm supposed to give you half of it, then I'll wear the remaining half, it can only be completed once we meet again, and you'll give me the other half!!."

[She then took the half of the diamond shape design and handed it over to Farkas, while she wore the rest of the earring.]

"Thank you Cerra!!."

[and they both hugged each other....]

Yukiko: "I guess now that the two of you is done, I guess it's my turn to bid you farewell."

[They too both hugged and gave each other a cheek to cheek kiss.]

Yukiko: "Take care, and make sure to use this well, this'll surely help you in the future, if you're lucky enough."

[As she secretly handed him a clover shaped necklace by placing it on his pocket.]

"Thank you."

[Then both the parents who where holding each others back gave their regards.]

Jyvharth: "You plan on building your own household right.?"

Judyrth: "Then we can't do anything about it."

"We'll support you as best as we can."

Farkas: He then bowed down his head and said "Thank you so much." 

[Then as he climbed up the stairs of the carriage the four of them said their farewells and waved him goodbye, and he too looked back and waved back at them.]

Cerra: "Goodbye Big Brother!!."

Yukiko: "Goodbye!."

Judyrth: "Take Care!!."

Jyvharth: "Take Care!."

[And with that it was time to part ways.]

...

[After boarding the carriage, he then inspected what was in his pocket, and quickly figured out what it was, though he already had a hunch.]

'It's the five leafed clover necklace huh.....,' originally it was supposed to be Ryherth who was gonna receive this from Yukiko. It was apparently a necklace which was supposed to bring the owner good luck. There was a rumor that if you sleep while wearing this at night, you'll have a chance of dreaming of a beast that is different from your inner beast, although it is unconfirmed. But it was a fact that it had help Ryherth in the novel to safely obtain a dragon egg that he had dreamt of, because dragons is one of the mythological creatures that aren't on friendly terms with it's human counterparts. 'Heck most dragons aren't even on friendly terms with each other'

"Ryherth dreamed of a void dragon egg, I wonder what beast It'll make me dream of?....."

[The carriage ride to CanaBul academy didn't feel as long as he expected, time really passes by quickly, if you have lots of things on your mind.]

As I opened the door, there it was the most prestigious academe in this country Anthropos.

[Upon stepping out what welcomed him was a giant white front gate with an arch directly above it, and its name written "CanaBul Academia.", immediately giving the expression of how luxurious this place is.]

[He was greeted warmly by the guards as they opened the gate for him, with just a single glance, he could see how big the place was, there were buildings almost as large as a castle, and of course the length of the walls covering the entirety of the land was immeasurable, to the point when he first step foot inside the academia, he felt like he might get lost. However-]

"So it's that guy??!!."

"Are the rumors true?."

"You know the one about his family."

[The news of his families deeds spread fast as it was a pretty big incident, even him who was very insignificant to the case, is now easily recognizable.]

"He looks even more uglier, now that I've seen up close."

"Seriously what is he even doing here?. If it isn't for the Ximmurths helping him....."

"He should know to at least show some restraint, someone as untalented as him doesn't deserve to be in this place."

"Shush!!, you might offend the Ximmurths, if you badmouth him..."

"Seriously, what is even happening in this academy?, I thought they didn't allow backing, but now they even allowed someone who didn't even take the entrance exam."

"Are the Ximmurths flaunting their power?."

"He should've just been executed too."

"Someone as weak and ugly as him....."

Murmur murmur murmur....

....

[And they were right, even he know it himself that he wasn't quite the looker, in fact he didn't quite have any defining features back on earth. The character that he transmigrated into also didn't have any except for his dead fish eyes, so they were both average looking in both in height and face, the only thing that he had changed was his fringe hairstyle to a slick back hairstyle, as he was not used to it.]

"So it's that effect huh...., once people begin seeing you in a bad light, they'll begin seeing your ugly features."

...

[Even though his welcome from his fellow classmates wasn't the best, he didn't pay no mind to it and just continued to walk, but the all of a sudden-]

[A tiger claw attacked him from his sides-]

"So you're that brave guy huh?...., I wonder how strong you are?"

[But he was able to block it, even though he was faster than him, he can definitely feel it, his reflexes had gotten faster.]

[Then he attacked him again with other hand-]

[But this time he was able dodge the attack gracefully as he let go of his tiger hands, and placed some distance in between them.]

"You, you're quite fun huh?....."

[Without pause, a barrage of attacks came flying towards him, Claw Swipes from left to right, but he didn't bother to retaliate, he only dodged smoothly, which made it look like as if he was dancing with him.]

"This is fun Right!!!, HAHAHA!!!, finally I found a worthy rival, I was getting bored of all the first years over there."

[It was true; as he cast a glance backward, a pile of passed-out first-years caught his eye, in which he can only assume, that he stacked them up, creating a makeshift throne, so that he can sit on top of them and look cool.]

[The attacker thought that], "Its been a while since I found someone like this, I wonder what he is thinking right now, I bet his heart must be pounding while fighting me."

[Meanwhile what Kafka was actually thinking], 'Yeah that is cool and all bro, but why are you just wearing a jacket without a T-shirt?, you just wanted to show off your abs right?, and look tough?, and what's up with that pile of bodies over there, did you really just stacked them up so you could look cool?, are you a third grader? You're just too cliche.....'

[Kafka couldn't help but smirk, his internal monologue continuing], 'Yeah, sorry, dude. I just can't take you seriously right now.'
