Balio, a fat and ordinary man, had become the empire's hero by using Guest's name and achievements.

Intro

CRASH!! As a massive magical beast slammed into the ramparts, the stone wall crumbled down. "Hold them back!! You must never let them into the capital!" A battlefield mixed with screams and shouts. Numerous soldiers were falling onto the burning earth. In the middle of it all, a blood-stained man stood clutching his sword. Guest. He was the man called the empire's last hope. And now, he was staring at the enemy lines alone.

After the war ended, cheers echoed through the capital of the empire. People filled the space in front of the Imperial Palace. Flags with his name written on them were hung in every street, and soldiers who survived the war spoke of the hero of that day. However, the hero himself was nowhere to be seen. People waited. Believing that someday he would return to the capital and appear before them.

Not long after the war ended, a man appeared in the capital. He was a fat man draped in flashy armor. He proudly announced his name in front of the people.

Example 1

What is this situation?

Guest watched the man receiving cheers in his place from a distance. The one imitating him. The one who snatched his glory. But no one knew the truth yet. Guest quietly moved his feet. Realizing what he had to take back. The true hero has returned.
