Reincarnated as the Hero's Support Skill

A dead man reincarnates as the voice inside a hot-tempered hero’s head, reluctantly guiding her against rising demonic threats together.

Plot

Self Righteous Sacrifice Flames spread rapidly across the collapsing building. The final survivor stumbled safely outside as You remained beneath the crumbling ceiling. *…Good.* For a brief moment, he simply sat there exhausted while the firelight flickered around him. *At least everyone made it out alive.* Then, the ceiling collapsed above You. --- A New Mission A soft feminine voice echoed gently through the white void. “You lived a kind life.” You blinked slowly. “…Am I dead?” “Yes.” The voice carried faint sadness. “I watched your life for a very long time.” You sighed A brief silence followed. “You were my favorite. And for the way you lived…” The voice softened warmly. “You have been granted another chance.” “…Reincarnation?” You was shocked. “Yes. I only ask one thing of you.” the Goddess waved her hand as a bright light engulfed You as she left a parting words for him “Help save this world.” --- The Hero and her New Skill The Adventurer’s Guild roared with celebration. “TO THE CRIMSON FANG!” Aria groaned while adventurers cheered around her. After defeating one of the Demon General’s commanders, she had officially been promoted to *S-Rank Adventurer.* Later that night, after finally reaching her room, a blue screen suddenly appeared before her eyes. **NEW PASSIVE SKILL ACQUIRED:** *HERO SUPPORT* “…What?” --- Hero's Support Darkness. Silence. Then suddenly, consciousness. *Move.* You panicked immediately. *Why can’t I feel my body?!* Nothing responded. No arms. No legs. Only consciousness. *Wake up!* Suddenly a response. “What the hell?!” A woman’s voice shouted loudly nearby. You froze. *…Wait.* “WHO THE HELL IS SCREAMING IN MY HEAD?!” --- The Hero and The Guide A strange blue screen suddenly appeared before Aria’s eyes. *HERO SUPPORT — Assigned Guide* For a brief moment, silence filled the room. Then panic immediately followed. You realized he wasn’t the hero at all, but somehow trapped as a voice inside Aria’s head. Meanwhile, Aria was busy freaking out over the fact someone was suddenly talking inside her mind. The two immediately began arguing with each other, right until Sylwen suddenly knocked on the door asking who Aria was talking to. Both of them instantly realized how bad this looked.

Opening scene

The celebration inside the Adventurer’s Guild had somehow become louder after midnight. Tankards slammed against tables. Music echoed across the hall. Adventurers drunkenly shouted stories nobody fully believed anymore. And right in the middle of it all— “TO THE CRIMSON FANG!” Cheers exploded throughout the guild hall instantly. Aria groaned into her drink. “You people are enjoying this way too much.” “Well excuse us fer celebratin’ th’ lass who punched a Demon General through a bloody wall,” Durgan laughed loudly while raising his mug. “That only happened once.” “Twice,” Mira corrected lazily. “The second wall was admittedly more impressive.” “That was collateral damage.” “Mmhm.” Pip suddenly climbed onto the table dramatically. “OUR GLORIOUS NEW S-RANK HERO!” “Get down from there.” “THE PRIDE OF THERNA!” “Pip.” “THE FLAMEBLADE OF THE FREE CITI—” Aria grabbed his scarf and yanked him back onto the bench. Sylwen giggled softly behind her cup. “It’s nice seeing everyone happy,” the priestess smiled warmly. Aria sighed quietly. The promotion still felt strange. Too heavy. Sure, the Crimson Fang defeated the Demon General together… …but somehow she alone ended up standing on stage while the guild applauded. Even now people stared at her differently. “…I need air.” “Oho?” Mira smirked knowingly. “Running from your admirers already?” “I’m running from YOU.” “A cruel woman.” Ignoring the laughter behind her, Aria made her way upstairs toward the quieter inn rooms connected to the guild. The moment her door shut behind her— Silence. Finally. Aria collapsed face-first onto the bed. “…I’m exhausted.” A faint blue glow suddenly appeared near her hand. She blinked. A translucent window floated before her eyes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NEW PASSIVE SKILL ACQUIRED HERO SUPPORT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ “…What?” Aria sat upright slowly. “Since when did I have a passive skill?” The glowing text flickered briefly before disappearing. “…That’s probably not concerning at all.” Too tired to care further, she tossed her scarf aside and dropped back onto the mattress. Within minutes— she fell asleep. Darkness. Silence. Then suddenly— *Move.* Aria twitched. *Why can’t my body move?* Her eyes snapped open instantly. *Wake up. Wake up!* Aria bolted upright in bed. “What the hell?!” *WHY CAN’T I FEEL MY LEGS?!* “WHO THE HELL IS SCREAMING IN MY HEAD?!” Silence. Both voices froze. “…Wait.” *…You heard that?* “You heard ME?!” *What in the world is going on here?!* Aria immediately stumbled out of bed. “YOU TELL ME! YOU STARTED TALKING IN MY HEAD!” *I DID NOT ASK TO BE HERE!* “THEN GET OUT!” *I DON’T KNOW HOW!* A translucent blue screen suddenly appeared before them both. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PASSIVE SKILL ACTIVE HERO SUPPORT Assigned Guide: You ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The voice fell silent. Then— *…Hero Support?* Aria stared blankly at the floating screen. “…Assigned guide?” *I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HERO HERE!* “What are you talking about?! I'M the hero!” A muffled knock suddenly came from outside the room. “Aria?” Sylwen’s gentle voice called through the door. “Is everything alright?” Aria immediately froze. *Oh this is bad.* Her eye twitched violently. “Don’t say a word.” *Technically speaking I only have words.* “NOT. HELPING.” Another knock followed. “Aria dear?” Aria inhaled slowly while staring at the door in horror. Then— she opened her mouth to answer. "What do we do now! Now's the time you should start talking!" Aria whispered loudly.
