That Time I Got Reincarnated As The King Of Heroes

PROLOUGE (Remake)

I'm remaking most of the old chapters, so expect some reworks or not. It really depends, but after the ones I want reworked are finished than I'll finish the story.

Y/N POV 

I wake up in the morning after a long night of binge-watching anime. I yawn and stretch before getting up. After a quick shower, I get dressed and head to my refrigerator, thinking about how cool it would be to reincarnate into a world like 'Overlord'—being seen as a supreme being—or 'Jujutsu Kaisen', fighting Sukuna. 

But life isn't a fairy tale. 

Y/N: *sighs* I guess I don’t have any food… Looks like I need to head to the store. At least my new manga, 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime', should be arriving later today.

With that thought, I grab my wallet and head out of my apartment toward the nearest grocery store. 

Upon entering, I hear a familiar voice call out. 

Jorge: *spots Y/N* Oh hey, Y/N! How’s it going?

That’s Jorge—my best friend and the owner of this store. 

Y/N: Hey man, just grabbing some groceries.

Jorge: Got it. Well, I’ll leave you to it then.

After that short exchange, I walk through the aisles and grab my essentials—including a few bags of my go-to snack for manga reading: Doritos. Once I have everything I need, I head to the self-checkout. 

While scanning my items, Jorge walks over again. 

Jorge: Hey, you wanna hang out later at my place? I just got that new game everyone’s talking about.

Y/N: *bagging groceries* Which one? Feels like there’s a new game every week.

Jorge: Palworld. I played it for like ten minutes, and it’s really good. So, you in?

Y/N: *shakes head* Sorry, man. My new volume of Reincarnated as a Slime manga is arriving today. Maybe next time." 

Jorge: Alright, see ya then. 

I finish bagging my groceries and step outside—only to realize it’s raining. 

Y/N: (When did the news say it was going to rain…?)

I sigh and push through, walking briskly toward my apartment. But just as my home comes into view, a bright light flashes—followed by complete darkness.

Y/N POV 

I groan as my senses slowly return. 

Y/N: (Ugh… What happened? I was walking home in the rain, then… nothing. I don’t remember…)

A moment later, a blinding light surrounds me, and suddenly, I find myself sitting in front of an old man sipping tea. He gazes at me with an apologetic expression.

GOD POV

I look at the young man before me, guilt weighing heavily on my heart. I accidentally struck him with lightning, ending his life. I sigh and finally speak. 

God: I am so sorry, young man. I… accidentally killed you.

The boy stares at me, wide-eyed, before yelling out in shock.

Y/N POV 

Y/N: WHAT?!!

I can’t believe it. I didn’t die of old age. I didn’t heroically save someone.
