I was waiting patiently for that day. The day I'll finally get hit by a truck and get transported into another world.

But for Pete's sake! I'm already 20 years old, I'm already past the age of a Young Adult!

But I really want to go to another world, go on a never-ending adventure, slay the Devil King and be a hero in that world.

5 years have passed since I waited to get transported into another world. My friends have been gone missing 5 years ago, with no trace or whatsoever. So I assumed that they probably got transported into another world. I mean, I know I'm kind of heartless for thinking that but my mind just has that mindset

I am too afraid to kill myself, so being reincarnated into another world is way out of the question.

I should try to play a game to be able to calm myself. I love playing games. I am not leaving my house unless a new game has been released. I am not attending college either, I am just working part-time in a restaurant to be able to support my video game and anime needs.

Sometimes, while I am working, I am inserting some Anime Disc into the TV in the restaurant, so I should be able to watch anime even though I am still working.

If I already saved at least 10,000 yen, I am quitting my job to be a Shut-in again.

Then enter the job again to save 10,000 yen again. That's what life is.

To save money, I am just reading Light Novels in the Library.

Some people say that I shouldn't reveal my degeneracy to the public but honestly, I don't care. It's not like It would matter anyway, once I get transported into another world, I won't have to do all of this.

That's the way Hinata Tasuke, lives his life! But... It's been 5 years since I started doing that but... I still... didn't get transported into another world.

As soon as I got up in bed, I made a coffee then drank it. I don't know if I am just dreaming but I saw a portal opening in the comfort room. I wanted to feel sorry for the one opening the portal.

In the portal, a foot showed up but It got soaked in the toilet. Sorry, I forgot to close the lid. The boy tidied himself up and tried to forget the embarrassment. Did I mention that It is a boy? Yes, it is a boy.

But it is strange though, if he came from an isekai world then there's no way he would know what a toilet is and how it is dirty. But he seems to know what is it. When I opened my eyes wide, I am recognizing the one in the toilet.

I don't remember him having green eyes and brown hair but I recognize his face. He also wears light armor and a small dagger now. Wait, does that mean...

"Greetings, my old friend! I am Chazuke Touya, and I came back from another world!"

He came from another world?! What?! Seriously?!

"Tasuke, my friend! You've gotten taller, and your dumb mediocre face also got chiseled a bit!"

I still can't believe It... So that means It's not just a fantasy... I couldn't even speak from shock...

"Tasuke... Are you okay? You seem dumbfounded..."

"So what kind of power did you got?!"

I couldn't speak earlier but the moment I did, It exploded like a spring being held back. My heart jumped with joy and my eyes sparkled like crazy! I immediately approached him without any hesitation left in my body

"Tasuke, my friend, I don't have any special power, but I do have one power, and It is the Return By De..."

Before he even finished, he rolled in pain while holding his dick... Why do I feel chills... All of a sudden, this room got colder...

"So, something about this Return By Death, how did you got transported? Reincarnation?"

I asked out of curiosity, then he replied:

"I was in a convenience store then suddenly something caught in my eye, and then the next thing I know, I'm in a fantasy world. But I ate some expired goods on the way, and then I woke up repeating the same day"

Wait, this plotline is kind of familiar...

Then like a rude person interrupting a conversation, a portal opened again, but this time he showed up at my cat's bucket toilet. I am very sorry for not burying my cat's crap in the sand.

I could recognize this man, isn't it Hiki, Hiki Komori! Again, I don't remember him having purple eyes and white long hair but I could recognize that stupid face, that's Hiki!

"Long Time No See! Tasuke!"

"It's been a long time, I think it's been years! Since you also came out of that portal, I'm assuming that you got transported into another world, as well?"

He nodded with a proud face while also scratching his cheek. When I turned to look down, I saw his arms wearing a shield. Wait, don't tell me...

"My friend, If your thinking about being the Shield Hero, Then you are correct!"

The Shield Hero Plotline! Unlike the Re; Zero plotlines, the Shield Hero plotline is the story of a man being bullied because he wields a Shield. Heroes are forbidden to hold another weapon if you're holding a Legendary Weapon!

"I understand! The story of a fallen Shield Hero who is struggling to defeat the evil, even though he receives the worst treatment, he still wants to protect them! It must be hard Hiki, to not be able to wield a weapon except the Shield!"

"What are you saying? I can use all 4 Legendary Weapons."

What the fuck?! Seriously?! What's the point of the Shield Hero plotline? How can you call yourself the Shield Hero if you can wield all Legendary Weapons?! That's stupid as hell!!!

Oops, I accidentally got triggered there.

But I just considered that maybe It is how another world works, continuing to question It will just be stupid

Like what I asked earlier, I asked he got transported, then he answered this:

"I am reading To Love Ru in a convenience store then all of a sudden, I'm at a fantasy world"

Your story is messed up! You are reading To Love Ru but you arrived at the Shield Hero World! How did that happen?!

But I decided to just ignore It. Maybe that's how other worlds works, I don't know... I've never been there. They're the ones who experienced It, so I should believe them

"So anyway, could you take me to another world, then? Chazuke? Hiki? We're best pals, ain't we?"

"Of course! But before we do that, close your eyes and ears. Can't have you finding out about the secret spell to summon portals."

"Sure"

I did what they asked and closed my eyes and also my ears. My heartbeat runs so fast I'm afraid It will jump out any minute. I can't believe It... It's finally happening...

+++++

"Here you to, Tasuke! You can open your eyes now!"

When I opened my eyes wide, all I see is a grassland with a city in the center. The wind breeze feels so refreshing and clean... The grass is so soft I thought I would sink on It and the clouds in the sky are so beautiful.

Wait, does this mean that I have... finally... I finally... My heart is filled with joy, and almost tears are coming out of my eyes.

I mean, all my life... I've been waiting for this. To go to another world, go on a never-ending adventure, slay the Demon King and be a hero! Escape that shitty world and have fun here...

Now, the game start! First, I have to register for the guild. As If a thunder lighting I immediately teleported in front of the guild. I, myself was surprised here.

"Teleportation?! Is this my ability?!"

Without any further ado, I registered to the guild and when my starter stats have been given to me, the whole guild has exclaimed. Because my stats are already MAX Level, my Level is also MAX!

Then, I am the overpowered type! I would prefer it if I am not too overpowered. But, no time to complain! I am going to start my adventure right away!

My first quest is to kill dragons, then beasts, a horde of goblins! I've been countless quests here and there. After killing monsters, raiding dungeons and doing random chores for a while... The time has come to do this! Today, my party is going to defeat the Demon King!

My party that consists of my friends, Hiki and Chazuke will for sure, slay the Demon King.

Like I am anticipating, even if I am at MAX Level, I am still having a hard time with this.

My party is already exhausted, looks like I have to use my trump card!

"No! Tasuke! Don't use it! If you use it, your body is going to break!"

"It is okay, If I don't defeat the Demon King then... peace will never come!"

I shouted with all my heart:

"Shining Javelin!!!"

Then suddenly, I saw a familiar-looking ceiling... My eyes are still itchy but I kind of get the situation now...

"If I am just going to dream, please complete it until the END!!!"

Yes, This is the story of a young man, hoping to get isekai, but the world does not want him to.
