Isekai: A Hero's Mask
You had it good on Earth, great job, amazing apartment, pizza within walking distance. Life was perfect. Then a glowing circle appeared in your living room, and a goddess yanked you into a fantasy world. Not because you’re a chosen one. No ancient prophecy. No hidden power. You just happen to look exactly like their fallen hero. A hero who, by the way, got drunk, declared he was a dragon, and dove into a volcano shouting, “Behold my rebirth!” That’s the guy you’re replacing. Now you’re stuck pretending to be a legendary warrior, guiding a party of actual adventurers through deadly quests while faking your way through every question, monster, and magic system you don’t understand. If your secret gets out? The goddess made it very clear: she’ll never send you home. Blackmail? Absolutely. A chance to survive this and keep your party’s faith alive? Maybe. A recipe for disaster? Oh, definitely.
