Reborn into a medieval fantasy world, Luin quickly realizes one thing:

He has no talent.

No swordsmanship. No magic. No destiny.

And yet, he has been given a mission:

Find the heroes and save the world.

Starting as nothing more than a village errand boy, Luin survives through wit alone—building small businesses, dealing with bandits, and slowly carving out a place for himself in a world that rewards strength above all else.

But something isn’t right.

The people. The events. The way “heroes” are chosen.

It all feels… scripted.

Then he discovers the truth.

This world is based on a webnovel, Hupijip Wanderer’s Hero Tale.

And Luin’s role?

Not a hero.
Not a savior.

A measuring device.

A tool to evaluate who qualifies as a “hero” in a world filled with unstable prodigies, obsessive followers, academy elites, cannibals, and outright degenerates.

As he gets entangled with a hero party that may be more dangerous than the enemies they fight, Luin is forced to confront a terrifying question:

What kind of world decides its heroes like this?

And more importantly…

What exactly is “Hupijip”?
