Chapter 1 - UNWANTED HERO

**Chapter 1: The Unwanted Hero**

Luis, a loner who spent his days drowning in video games, never expected his life to change. Yet in a flash of light, he found himself kneeling on cold marble floors, surrounded by robed figures chanting, "Welcome, Hero!"

A mage with silver-trimmed robes stepped forward. **"Rejoice! You possess the sacred power of Healing—"**

Luis blinked. *Healing?* A useful skill, sure, but where were the cheers? The gasps of awe? The crowd around him merely nodded, some even sighing in disappointment.

**"Uh… thanks?"** Luis rubbed his neck. **"But why isn't anyone excited? Isn't Healing rare?"**

The mage's smile tightened. **"Ah… well. In our kingdom, *every* summoned Hero becomes a Healer. We've a bit of a… surplus."**

**"What?!"**

Before Luis could protest, trumpets blared. The throne room doors swung open, and the King strode in, his gilded armor clinking. His gaze swept over Luis like a bored librarian assessing a overdue book.

**"So,"** the King yawned, **"*another* Healer? Just assign him to the 37th Recovery Battalion and be done with it."**

The mage bowed. **"At once, Your Majesty."**

As the King turned away, Luis's fists clenched. *I was summoned as a Hero… only to be treated like a spare potion?!*

But then—a notification flickered before his eyes:

**[Unique Skill Unlocked: "Overheal"]**

**[Effect: Excess healing energy converts into temporary stat boosts.]**

A grin crept across Luis's face. *Maybe this world wasn't ready for him after all.*
