NOT RIGHT NOW!

Hero Summoning is a fantasy trope where people from another world are forcibly brought into a new world, usually by a kingdom, magic circle, or ritual, to act as “heroes” and solve major problems like defeating demons or saving a collapsing empire. ⚔️ What you get. Power boost You’re often given broken abilities, cheat skills, or rapid growth that makes you stronger than everyone else. Wealth Kingdoms fund you, nobles reward you, and loot from battles stacks up fast. Status & respect From random guy to “Hero-sama” overnight. People bow, listen, and rely on you. Harem potential Companions, princesses, knights, mages… stories often orbit you with multiple love interests. Longer lifespan / enhanced body Some worlds give heroes extended life, resistance to disease, or even semi-immortality. All I can say is that "It's gotaed nice" I used to dream about it too, like any otaku. Getting stronger, building a harem, gaining status… living that kind of life. It sounded perfect. Like winning the lottery of existence. At anytime, I would’ve taken it without thinking twice. But not right now. Now? Now I’ve got something to lose. .......my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. The doctor didn’t try to give false hope. He just said she doesn’t have much time left. At best, with treatment… maybe two years. That’s it. Two years. So in the last two years of her life, I just want to be with her. I want to be a good son… do something with my life so she can pass away in peace. That’s when I realized how much I love her. That I’d do anything for her. But… nothing is in my hands. So yeah— I was furious when I got summoned to another world to be some “hero.” I don’t care about your fucking kingdom. I don’t care about your fucking war. "Motherfuckers I will shove my dick in your ass, if you don't send me back" (Author note: Not Right Now is my official novel title)

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
