CompletedTransported into a Western fantasy world undergoing mutations, Mason finds himself as the cursed and bedridden descendant of a noble family. Determined to survive, Mason discovers that as long as he influences the world, he can create alternate personas (a.k.a. "vests") to save himself.
"A curse and a blessing."
Through blood and fire, a red-haired swordsman descends on a dragon to defend the people.
Amid the jingling of coins, a cunning black-robed merchant walks the streets, trading secrets.
Where his domain spreads, corruption dissipates, and a silver-haired priest is crowned by a multitude of devoted followers.
In the darkest of nights, a wandering child sings songs to guide lost souls home.
But… truth be told, they're all Mason in disguise!
While playing out the role of a tragic yet brilliant antihero, Mason struggles to clear up rumors:
"What? Someone heard crying souls in the dead of night? We're ethical merchants, I swear!"
"A bloodthirsty swordsman laughing maniacally? Ridiculous slander!"
"A priest hiding a monster within? A ghostly little girl? Lies! All lies!"
Life is full of challenges, and one of his personas has even gone bankrupt! Yet Mason remains determined to stay cool and stylish, no matter how cursed or villainous his disguises might seem. After all, someone as righteous as him could never truly be a villain… right?
Unknowingly, Mason's various personas grow into legendary figures, heroes born from the World Tree itself. Traversing thorny paths and wielding the torch of hope, they bow to no fate. The world, in awe, calls them:
"Heroes."
