I always wanted to become an adventurer.
But the world I live in is simple… ordinary.
The adventure I dream about is the kind from anime — magical powers, legendary heroes, people who get reincarnated or transported to another world.
If I were transported, I would still be me.
But reincarnation? I would be born as someone else.
Sometimes, people are reincarnated as strange things… even non-living objects. Sometimes they even change gender.
But if I ever get the chance…
I don't want too much power.
I don't want to be a hero.
I just want to live a simple life.
Not a main character.
Not even a side character.
Just… a background character living peacefully.
That Night…
Mom: "Son, are you sleeping?"
Me: "No, Mom. I'm just about to sleep."
Mom: "Tomorrow will be another busy day."
Me: "Good night, Mom."
(He closes his eyes.)
Me (thinking):
"Reincarnation isn't real… It only happens in anime and manga."
"But if it were possible…"
"I hope I get reincarnated normally."
Suddenly—
"Ahh… My body hurts…"
"Did I catch a fever? Why am I so cold…?"
"Am I… dying?"
Darkness surrounds him.
A voice echoes from above the clouds.
Voice: "Yes… you have died."
Me: "What?! I didn't wish to die!"
Voice: "But you wished to reincarnate in another world, didn't you?"
A figure appears — glowing with divine light.
"My name is Rein."
Me: "So… you're really going to reincarnate me?"
Rein: "Yes. As you wish."
Me: "Thank you! So… where am I going?"
Rein smiles mysteriously.
The Twist
Rein: "You will be reincarnated as a great being."
Me: "A hero?"
Rein: "No."
Me: "A dragon?"
Rein: "No."
Me: "Then what?!"
Rein:
"You will become… the greatest legend in anime history."
A bright flash!
Me: "Wait— WHAT IS THIS?!"
I look down at myself.
Wheels.
Metal.
Headlights.
Me: "A car?!"
Rein: "No."
Me: "A truck?!"
Rein: "Yes."
Me: "Why would you reincarnate me as a TRUCK?!"
Rein: "Not just any truck."
"You are Truck-Kun."
"The one who sends heroes to other worlds."
Me: "WHAT?!"
Rein:
"You said you didn't want to be the hero."
"So instead… you will create heroes."
Me: "So… what's my job?"
Rein:
"You will transport chosen people from this world… to their new worlds."
Thunder rumbles.
The engine roars to life.
Me: "What happened to my simple life?! If I do this, people will think I'm a monster!"
Rein (smiling):
"History will remember you… not as a monster."
"But as the beginning of every legend."
