Disillusioned businessman, John Lawrence Locke, finds himself summoned as a hero to another world, filled with monsters and magic! With his body reverted to the age of 15, the 33-year-old's mind is filled with the possibility of battles and adventures, like the ones in his favorite video games.

After their escape from the city of Silvia, Lutz and Laya evade their pursuers by fleeing into the nearby forest. Now that he has a reliable companion, Lutz's future in his new world finally looks promising as they continue to level up and pick apart the underlying mechanics that only they are able to see, thanks to Lutz's unique Status Screen.

Lutz and his companions have finally arrived at the eastern edge of the Orakian kingdom, just a few short days away from the elven lands. But he's not the only one who's made the trek east. Princess Lumina has deduced his destination and is hot on his trail. However, there are other forces at play in the Far East, and Lutz finds himself dragged into the center of a storm that's secretly raging on Orakio's eastern border - one that could spell doom for the four races if left unchecked. Soldiers, nobles, and even Princess Lumina herself have their eyes set on Lutz.

At long last, Lutz and his party have reached the far eastern edge of the Orakian Kingdom, just a day's walk from the elven border. However, during a quest to save a town, they find themselves close to one of the ancient labyrinths--a dungeon. Monsters, traps, and treasure aren't the only things waiting for Lutz inside, and outside the dungeon, forces are beginning to gather. The Forsaken are appearing all over the region, and the local High Priest is determined to hunt them down. But not all is as it seems, both inside the dungeon and out.

Being the False Hero isn't easy. Constantly hounded by soldiers and fanatics, never sure when the next casual encounter will lead to another life-and-death battle. When the ones seeking your life are too weak to even pose a threat, killing them will only turn you into exactly what they claimed you to be all along. Lutz can only flee, keeping ahead of his pursuers, his eyes locked on his final destination. The journey to the elven lands was long and difficult, but Lutz and his companions have finally reached it. But will they accept the False Hero into their lands?
