Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend: Running the Kingdom Behind the Scenes (Novel) Vol. 02

REWRITING THE TALES OF DESTINY

They may have separate missions, but Lord Werner—a Japanese office worker reincarnated into the world of a classic RPG—and his friend, the legendary hero Mazel, are both working to save the realm in their own ways. While Mazel walks the path of radiance, slaying the Demon Lord’s minions one by one, Werner uses his real-world knowledge to help manage the kingdom’s internal affairs. Managing refugees, fixing the water supply—it’s a lot of work for a supposed background character!

Series Overview: Someday, the hero Mazel will battle the Demon Lord with the fate of the realm at stake. But until that day…he better be carrying plenty of potions! While the hero is off saving the kingdom, it’s up to Lord Werner—a Japanese office worker reincarnated into the world of a classic RPG—to keep the rest of the world from becoming collateral damage. There’s no hero, luminary, or warrior of light who doesn’t need a friend like Werner! But can he truly defy the flames of fate and change the bittersweet ending of the game?
