2022-07-23 23:07:31The world is a vast place, and here I am a Japanese High School student living my life in Japan. My name is Kibe Takayuki, I am a 15-year-old male, and what I can say is... My life is filled with nothing. IT'S FULL OF BULLSH*T! I'VE GOT NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS THUS FAR FILLED WITH AVERAGE GRADES AND SPENDING MY LIFE AS AN OTAKU! Nothing to make a story out of. And thus began a day that forever changed my life.
April 5, 20XX
One Monday morning, I woke up from my bed as unoriginal as ever with my mouth open, drooling with a bit of snot on my face.
I had breakfast at 8:00 AM.
Then I left home at 8:30 AM. No bath, no problem, I'm a stinker.
It's the first day of school again, and the same as ever, I'm bored to go. I had 15 minutes left but my school was just a walk away, so I took a detour.
"Time to grab some drinks!" I said merrily.
The drinks were about the only things I could look forward to.
I hit a vending machine and bought some melon soda.
I sat on a bench and watched as the students pass by. Then something hit me.
"WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THEIR HAIRSTYLE AND COLOR?"
"I'm gonna be late for school!" one of the girl students announced with burnt toast in her mouth.
That girl right now, she had pink hair, the f*ck? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Note: Kibe is a baka (idiot).
I began to have suspicions that something was up, my intuition since the very day I was born! Of course, I looked like a stalking idiot who was late for class. Wait, oh sh*t!
…
..
.
I hurriedly climbed the stairs.
Step. Step. Step.
I was late for the first day of class.
I went to my class, Class 2-1, and as I opened the door...
"PRESENT!" I yelled.
"Oh, ok take a seat, we'll wait for the others," the teacher said calmly.
And so, the thought of making an embarrassing entrance never crossed my mind because... there were 3 to 4 people present in a class of 20 people, how lucky! And then around 5 minutes, they all came crashing down.
"Present!" the first student yelled.
"Present!" the second student shouted.
"Absent!" the third joked.
"Yello!" the fourth announced.
"PRESENT!" the fifth screamed in panic.
Skipping through the USELESS details, we were arranged and thus we introduced ourselves, like any first day.
Nope, no way am I introducing my classmates this early, they’re not my business.
The seating arrangement was 4 by 5 and I was in the 2nd row in the 3rd column.
I kept analyzing the moves of my classmates. Something was off. Like my presence was being overwhelmed with such intense aura. Then something started to catch my eye little by little, most of my classmates had hair that was in a way... off, like in an anime or manga, some spiky, and some with hair colors like the rainbow which was physically and biologically impossible.
And thus began my hypothesis: I was living in a manga world, and so began my experiment to prove it right.
Note: Kibe is a big baka (idiot).
First off, if this was a manga world, then an MC would most likely be near the window, in other words, THE MC POSITION OTAKUS AND WEEBS KNOW ABOUT! The 1st column.
I asked the person who seemed to be MC material in the same row as mine. He had spiky, blue hair and seemed friendly.
Is he the protagonist?
"Um, hello?" I asked.
He didn't answer.
He seemed to be reminiscing or having flashbacks which supported my guess for him being the MC. After a while, he noticed me.
"Oh sorry, I was spacing out, oh um, what's your name?"
"Takayuki, Kibe Takayuki, yours?"
I'm being friendly, what a pain.
"Yoshio, Kase Yoshio, you can call me Yoshio-kun," he introduced himself.
We chatted for a while, and after a while, I got to ask the important details.
"So, how was your life before school?"
"I don't want to talk about it..."
"Oh ok, it's fine."
I distance myself from the creep and watch from afar.
Through my observation skills, he brought out an aged picture that seemed to be two young adults, one male, and one female, carrying a baby. Seems like a family, and they are all blue-haired? Suspicious. I have a guess, I'm living in a shounen manga. I think those are his parents and they are dead.
Parents dead, check.
Reminiscing on the first day of school, check.
MC position, check,
Odd hair, check.
He is definitely a shounen protagonist.
He looked worried while staring at the picture and spoke some unintelligible dialogue.
Oh, he's crying? Meh. And can you stop whispering? It's annoying, it's like there's a bee on my ear, even though I’m so far. Looks like an MC truly can break specific laws, such as ignoring the concept of distance.
…
..
.
I was about to go back to my seat when someone caught my eye, on the very last row and column on the left, also in the MC position lies a very handsome man.
Lucky bastard.
His seatmate, a girl seems to be clinging to him. She pressed her breasts against his arm.
Hey, hey, hey, this is a school you dimwits, stop acting lovey-dovey.
From what I overheard from their conversation, is that the term 'childhood friend', 'I like you', and such terms were mentioned. I can easily guess that he is a rom-com protagonist, why? Because no one is looking at them aside from two girls.
Not only that, the teacher doesn't notice them. Is he blind or something? No, he was a rom-com or harem protagonist. It's a rule that teachers are usually blind during these times.
"TWO PROTAGONISTS? NO NO NO."
Out of frustration, I looked behind, there, and everywhere, and based on my intuition, THEY WERE PROTAGONISTS, most of 'em. So did that mean I was a protagonist?
Naturally! But what kind? I tried to figure it out myself.
…
..
.
12:00 NN
Ring. Ring.
The bell rang.
It was lunch, given that most were pretty much protagonists, all I needed was to know what kind I was, and knowing that a story will start, I waited patiently for something to happen, an event, a girl coming to me, a guy coming to make friends with me, but nothing happened.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?!! WHAT KIND OF PROTAGONIST AM I?"
But to my interest, no one noticed me shout. I was filled with dread. I kept saying hello and barely anyone said hello or noticed me. No one would come to me or talk to me.
I came to the sad conclusion... I'm a mob character, unexpectedly.
"A MOB CHARACTER?!! NO WAY I'M GONNA ACCEPT THAT WORLD! IN A WORLD FILLED WITH PROTAGONISTS, I'LL SHOW YOU THAT I'M A MAIN CHARACTER TOO!"
Note: And thus the battle begins! A worldly battle for the role of protagonist! Will the young idiot warrior become a Main Character? Find out soon...

Update on the Series
Guys, I really apologize for not updating for so long. My parents do not allow me to write, and it's a lot harder especially since I'm in high school, so I have to focus a bit more on my studies. However, that doesn't mean I'm abandoning this series or the other, it's just on hold. Please do expect an update somewhere around summer, perhaps June or July? Around those dates. Please continue to follow my series and follow my twitter if you can. You can simply search my author name and it pops up. Thank you for understanding! And that is all for now! Might drop a special chapter soon, a special, "might".

EPISODE 34 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 15)
5:21 PMI was on a call with Arata."WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T GIVE HER THE POTION?!" I retaliated."Sorry, Kibe. I really am.""THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE HER THE FREAKING LOVE POTION?!""Kibe, don't you think trying to court her for a single rooftop is already foolish? More so with the love potion… even we have a line to draw.""DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THINGS I HAD TO DO FOR THAT POTION?!"Aside from persuasion, I technically haven't done anything for that potion, but 'will'."I deeply apologize for my selfish actions."I sat on my bed morosely contemplating. I rubbed my fingers on my forehead.This is what I get for trusting other people… no, this isn't the time I should be doubting my accomplices. I know his progress is doing relatively fast but perhaps a week may have been pushing it to the limit."Fine, we'll have to start the challenges now," I declared."Even without you?""We have to move things somewhere. I can't keep waiting here, so inform the rest of them tomorrow or even me
EPISODE 33 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 14)
The background became an eyesore once more because of the oversaturated colors. I decided to look down at the floor as I passed through the class to avoid seeing these painful colors, as well as avoid meeting anyone's gaze, as failure to do so, will give my own classmates a dinner known as me. To ease my hand, I tucked my phone into my shorts' left pocket.I took a short glance at the critters that I once recognized as my classmates. Their gazes shot everywhere. Their breathing was erratic. Most importantly… their faces were hungry, not for food, mind you. Even our teacher was losing control, he wasn't even teaching. He just sat silently.Everyone must still be short-circuiting from the sudden transition.I decided to ignore the scenery before me and tried to find Okada.I tried to find her everywhere but she just wasn't there. I turned around to see that she was the very first person to the door I just entered.Bro… Did I really just miss her because I looked down?I sighed in disapp
EPISODE 32 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 13)
"But how will I do that?" I asked myself, "Do I bribe Okada again?"If so, what can I even offer to her? I owe her for last time and hadn't even repaid her yet.I crossed my fingers."Got nothing else to do other than hope."I stood up and walked in circles."However, there is another problem that arises... I am supposed to be phoned in sick and since Okada is in the same class as I am... there is a high chance that I get spotted if I get close to her."Should I make use of the Overruling Statement again? But then again, a Slice-of-Life Protagonist regardless of gender has broad application over various genres and is included in almost all. Even if their role was diminished even for a slight second, they would remain a side character which only takes away their ability and frequency to interact but does not change their personality in any way."What I'm saying is if they see me, they're not going to forget it."Then should I ask Mieko once more for help?I scratched my head at the ide
EPISODE 31 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 12)
We went down to the first floor where we took a break from the intense confrontation. "I can't believe that actually worked," Yoshida said in disbelief. "What did I tell you?" I responded in a smug manner. Arata went down the escalator and approached us. "Arata! Our hero and savior," Hara chanted. "Why didn't any of you pick up your phones?" Arata asked. "There was no signal here," I answered. I checked my phone only to see that there was now a signal. "There's a signal right there," Arata pointed out. "Look, I'm not lying. It just happens that there is one right now. Why don't we set aside all this for now and call it a day?" "Hmm, I guess..." "Hey, what about the subjugation plan? The plan to conquer Mari? Whatever happened to your progress? Inform us." "Things are... progressing. I was able to exchange messages with her since she accepted my friend request just earlier." I was baffled. I was overjoyed. I did not expect my seeds of progress to be growing at such a rapid
EPISODE 30 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 11)
We went up the escalators and up to the 4th floor where the arcade was located."Woah…" Yoshida said in awe."Games!" Ishimoto said in a slightly higher yet still monotonous tone."Here. Now you guys go crazy," I told them."Woohoo!" they all cheered.We all went inside the arcade.…...The girls exited the clothing store. All of them held paper bags of varying pastel colors."That was great!" Ran cheered."It could've been much better if you hadn't kept pestering me," Mari told her."Why don't you just go ahead and tell us who the lucky guy is?" Rin insisted."For the last time… I never said it was a guy!""You wouldn't be as reluctant to share if it was a girl. C'mon just tell us, what's there to be shy about? Unless…"Ran gasped, "IT'S A BOYFRIEND! IT HAS TO BE!"Mari turned red out of embarrassment, "WHA?! STOP ASSUMING THINGS!"Yuka raised her arm, "Um…"They heard her and listened."Wh-What do we do next?""Good question," Rin answered."My energy is drained. How 'bout we go p
EPISODE 29 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 10)
I and Yoshida were both gloomy.Ishimoto spoke, "You can borrow my money."Our eyes lit, "REALLY?!""Yeah, I've got enough money to support you two.""You're a lifesaver, Ishimoto," I praised."We'll definitely pay you back!"After all that was settled, Yoshida grabbed the menu and we took a peak. Minutes later, everyone sat back in their places."Alright, place your orders!" Hara yelled as he took out a piece of paper and pen and put it on the table.I started first and wrote down my order. It was passed down to Hara, then, Ishimoto, and finally, Yoshida.Ishimoto took out his money and stood up expecting to be the one to order.Yoshida held out his hand."No need, Ishimoto. I'll do it. It's the very least that I can do.""Okay."Ishimoto gave the money to Yoshida and then Yoshida headed to the counter to take out orders."Alright, I'll go straight to the point. We have to think of the next challenge," I declared, "But this time, please recommend challenges that are less luck-based."
EPISODE 28 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 9)
11:00 AM I was preparing my stuff. After I finished with that, I took a shower so that I wouldn't smell. I grabbed a towel and dried myself up. I went upstairs to my room and opened up my drawer. I scrolled through my countless clothes and uniforms hung on a wooden hanger. "Nope… Not this…" I finally stumbled upon a blue and white striped buttoned shirt. I wore short blue jeans and sprayed normal cologne instead of the manly cologne I save for special occasions. I went downstairs and grabbed my bag. From there, Nakatani caught the scent of my cologne. "Oh??? Onii-chan is getting all fancy and dressed up. Meeting a girl? A date perhaps?" she guessed. "Oh, I wish. But nothing special, just a hang-out with the boys." I say that but it's actually a multi-layered plan, specifically, to discuss the challenges with them, to eat a thing OTHER than curry, and to go out for a while. Sad to say that I'm becoming less and less of a shut-in because of them. After all of this, I'm gonna take
