Ah, never mind. All that matters is that at any moment you're going to die. Even if you ran away to recharge It wouldn't work. That holy sword destroyed too much of you. Even now you can feel it's sting.
W-Why? WHY?!
You struggle to lift your head up and look to where the hero is. There she is, celebrating with her companions.
Was this how the story ends? With the hero and her friends leaving to go out into the world? Fight more battles? Save more people? All as you die right here?
No! Y-You can't accept that kind of ending. A-After all, wasn't that why you…
Damn, lost it again.
With all your strength you lift your hand/claw up and stab the hero.
A moment of silence passes before blood leaks in between your hands. You faintly register the horrified looks of her other companions.
You feel your vision growing dark. You won't give any final words, at least not publicly. For that's what they would want. Between you and the hero however…
"Goodbye."
And that is the moment your vision fades to black and your mind goes to oblivion…
.

What's that? A light? Why would…
"It's a boy!"
"Welcome to the world ___________!"
[] Insert name here.
***
It's been six years since that day.
You've been reincarnated into this place known as "Earth". It's not that bad. Though your current goal is…
[] Take over this new world.
[] Get back to your old world.
-[] So that you can take it over.
[] Live peacefully in this new one.
Ha…
Well, all that time has finally led you to check who your neighbor is. So here you stand, on their doorstep, preparing yourself.
Alright, three, two, one. Knock.
A faint sound of "I'm coming!" comes muffled through the door. The voice sounds suspiciously familiar…
The door opens and your eyes go wide. I-It couldn't be!
Apparently, the one on the other side of the door has the same thoughts because you both reacted at the same time.
"YOU!"
That's right, the person that stood before you was her, the "Hero".
Since that time…
[] Three years have passed, you sort of have a rivalry.
[] Six years have passed, you know each very well. Still have some rivalry.
[] Ten years have passed. You're both in high school, and actually, very good friends. [] No time has passed, this is happening right now.

Alright everyone, welcome to Into The New World. The quest that probably should have been a light novel. It even has a name like that,
"I'm the Reincarnated Overlord and the Hero Is My Childhood Friend?!"
YEP. This is happening. I'll admit that the Devil is a Part-timer is some of the inspiration but not all of it. Mushoku Tensei, you know, the usual fantasy stuff.
So, why is this quest being made. Fuck if I know, but hey! Let's have some fun!
I have no idea on the update schedule though.
