Scrolls' Missions

Hero, villain, heroine, sidekicks, and extras are the roles of the characters of a story.

I am a being whose job is to maintain the world created by 'mortals.' And the worlds are the stories created by them.

I'm spectating them and checking if they are following their roles properly.

One mistake and everything will be over.

I sighed and surrendered my hands. I'm just doing my job peacefully for a long time, but this one story dares to hide the heroine!

The most important character!

The trigger for the change of the world!

The key!

"Who are you?"

"I am just a spectator whose mind was blown up because of this particular place which we can call 'your world.'"

"What?"

"I'm kidding. I'm a scholar."

She tilted her head and lowered her spear.

I don't know why this world became a mess. I was surprised when I saw them capturing the seven-year-old kid girl and hiding her here in a cave for almost thirteen years.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"To your home. Let's use your role to return everything in place."

That's the plan, but...

"You said I was the heroine. Does that mean I have the power to choose my hero?"

"No, everything has been---"

"You, you will be my hero from now on. And it would be best if you protected me from the danger I will encounter. After all, I'm the heroine, right?"

She tilted her head and grinned, "I won't accept another hero except you. Refuse, and I will abandon my 'heroine' title and destroy this world. You know I can do it. This world loves my very existence."

I was doing my job correctly. I need to fix this and return to my comfortable life. But why is everyone in this world crazy?!
