A week had passed since one-third of Merc Town had been destroyed.

Its residents still cannot get over what happened in their city.

Of those who witnessed the explosion, they could only say one thing. That thing is not caused by a human but by god.

The god blew up a large part of Merc Town to save it from the monsters that sowed horror where many of the residents became their victims.

That was what they believed in.

When the news reached the palace, the Emperor and ministers were in trepidation. The current crisis has not even been resolved, and now this thing happened in one of their towns.

They seemed to be in a period where they were suffering from an endless crisis.

The next day, the messenger sent by Lieutenant Davis arrived at the castle.

"Your Majesty, the messenger from Lieutenant Davis' group has arrived!"

"Alright, let him in."

The messenger immediately entered and immediately reported what happened in Merc Town.

The Emperor and everyone present inside the Great Hall learned that Merc Town had been attacked by thousands of monsters and many had lost their lives.

So the rumor was true, the emperor thought.

"The Imperial Soldiers, led by Lieutenant Davis, who happened to be in that place at that time had to fight to save the town and its citizens. But the monsters were unceasing. As a result, many of the Imperial Soldiers sacrificed their lives."

While listening to the messenger's report, most of the people inside had a frown on their faces.

The emperor was currently accompanied inside by several ministers and several members of the heroes.

"I see, so that was what happened. I feel sorry for everyone, especially those who have lost their lives. Let's send soldiers to help the residents of that town!"

"But Your Majesty, we already don't have many soldiers, if we send some of them, the castle will be vulnerable to invasion," said the minister of defense.

The emperor clenched his fist. The minister was right. If only that young Honorable Knight was here, he could ask him another favor.

Even so…

"But we can't abandon those people!" The emperor shouted.

Hearing that, one of the heroes stepped forward.

"Then, Your Majesty, I will go to deal with those monsters! I'll promise to save the citizens of that town!"

Everyone turned to him.

"Uhm..."

The emperor couldn't answer immediately because he was trying to remember the name of this hero.

"Dry ribs... right?"

The emperor asked. His voice indicates that he was guessing.

Hearing that, the young male hero gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"Grrr! It's Dark Raven, Your Majesty! My name is Dark Raven!"

The other heroes touched their faces out of embarrassment.

"Hey, Roy, don't embarrass us with that edgy name of yours."

"That's right. Please Roy, stop it already. Moreover, don't yell at His Majesty."

"And besides, didn't you hear the messenger? It's a tide of monsters and there are thousands of them. There's no way we can handle that many on our own."

"Brad is right, Roy. We need to wait for either Kyle or Reena to decide."

Roy frowned.

He didn't like the idea that he was inferior to Kyle and Reena. But it was alright. Most protagonists in the Isekai manga and anime he read and watched had to suffer also from humiliation from others.

Like those MCs, Roy aka Dark Raven also needed character development for a great redemption for himself.

While facing below, hiding his face from others, his mouth curved upward.

'More… more…' he needed more discrimination from others.

No one knew that in their previous missions, his power grew tenfold. He was certain he was the strongest now among them. He was hiding his real strength because he wanted a crispy face-slapping that would shock the masses later on.

In all honesty, he didn't ask to bring them along with him. But, it was indeed impossible for him right now to deal with those thousands of monsters at once. However, he could do something about it. His OP ability could do something about it. It was also a good chance to increase his power.

Dark Raven shot a glance at his hero colleagues.

He believed that these bunches had no idea what they were talking about. They were summoned here because he was meant to become the protagonist of this world.

This was a dream come true for him. He, who was a below-average guy on Earth, didn't experience dating or having friends. He was an outcast in their class. Even when he entered university, no one came to befriend him.

Uhm… wait, there was one student who once tried to strike up a conversation with him. But that student was later suspended from the university. Hehe, dumb people were bound to fail in life. And that person failed because he was dumb. Fortunately, Roy aka Dark Raven, did not befriend him.

Because if it happened, there was a high chance that he would get involved with that person's fault.

Maybe that person talked to him because he felt sorry for him. But that person did not know that he was enjoying his situation.

He imagines that he is like the Main Character in manga and anime. Like those MCs, Roy often talks to himself inside his mind.

Before he made a decision, and whatever or whenever he noticed something around him, he narrated all that in his mind.

Roy was loyal to his rule as an outcast. Unlike those other outcast students in their school somewhere in the world, Roy enjoyed his outcast role.

Every end of the class, he often waited by the side of the road. Waiting not for the ride, but for the person to be run over by a truck.

If you were wondering why he did that, it was because he wanted to risk his life to die like a hero.

But in truth, he wanted to be Isekai in another world.

However, he failed to witness such an event. But who would have thought that there was something better waiting for him?

Along with his classmates, all of them were suddenly summoned to another world where magic existed.

He was right.

As he always believed—- there was truly another world where magic existed.

It also looked like their body in this world was superior to the humans in this world. Like most summoned heroes in the manga and anime, it turned out they were gifted with superhuman strength and ability.

At the appraisal ceremony, he wasn't disheartened that his ability was the weakest.

The ability he got is [Hunger].

Everyone laughed at him because it suited his fat image. They thought that even the deity of this world was mocking him.

However, none of them knew how crazy OP this ability was. He could copy the monster's ability that he ate. Now, he believed he was far stronger compared to the other heroes.

"Uh, forgive my mistake, Hero Dark Raven."

"Don't mind it."

"But are you sure you want to go? There are thousands of monsters, you know."

"Yeah, I will do it."

"Hey, Roy, don't decide rashly," said one of the heroes.

"That's right, Roy."

Hero Roy sneered at them. 'These useless folks, how can they call themselves heroes when they are so cowardly? Just you watch, I'll shock you all when I come back,' Hero Roy thought.

At that moment, the messenger took everyone's attention.

"U-Umm… Your Majesty, there's no need to send for additional troops."

"Eh? What? Why? What do you mean no need?"

"Because all the monsters in that area have been defeated."

"What?!"
