The Strongest loner wants to get Noticed



From birth, my twin sister took the spotlight.

To our schooldays, she's always been popular with people as i tend to be alone by myself...

Its unusual to be alone. I could have a friend or two, yet, i rarely get noticed by our classmates and even to our parents as well. Even though i play online games, it feels as i'm usually ignored even though i was the strongest player around. But when my sister joins the same game i play, she immediately gets noticed by the players around her. Either she brings people around her or i have barely enough presence around me...

Then, while both of us were heading back home, we got sent into another world and my sister became a hero while i became a mob character...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Half a year pass by...

[Today marks the day where our hero sets out to vanquish the demon king and save our world! We pray that she'll be victorious in her quest to with the strongest party at our disposal! Hail to the peace and prosperity!]

My sister finally got strong enough to beat the demon king and i...

Became her companion...

Now let go back two days earlier...

~~~~~~~~~~~

[Ever since you join this guild, your growth is abnormally fast even though you were just a novice half a year ago...]

What she said was right, i wasn't an ordinary mob character from the get-go and the even became an S-ranked member with the title 'Dragonslayer' in just half a year since i and my sister been sent here. Yet, i reach this far due to my daily 'grinding', hard work at getting stronger and my natural presence...

My build was way different compared in just half a year. My skinny arms became robust and i became twice as tall as i've been compared in just half a year. My looks are what you say... Hard to guess since i've been a loner for my entire life so i tend to wear flashy equipment but even with trying to get attention, i'm more or less barely been noticed by people around me.

[Hey, you've been given a designated quest by the guild master to escort the hero to the demon king's castle. And if you back out on this one, master said that you'll be heavily fined or demote you.]

[Woah, com'on. How is this supposed to be fair?]

[Well, you are escorting the 'savior of humankind' so of course this quest is of grave importance...]

[...]

Technically, i didn't even want to to reach this far if it weren't for your so called 'cancelation fees' on each request and your hidden 'promotion exams' that i managed to reach this far...

But anyways, it kinda fine for me since i also want to meet with my twin sister whom i've been separated this long time...

~~~~~~~~~

After reuniting with my sister, the first thing she did was...

[WHERE THE HELL YOU'VE BEEN BRO?!]

Given a straight punch through my head as she knocked me a step back before embracing me. Well, i would do the same(but not the punching part) if she suddenly did the same thing.

After telling everyone about me to the royalty and apparently to her friends, i could still remember that she's still the same old sis i used to know. The popular and social girl in the past while i only got taller and muscular(well, my long hair aside since i rarely cut it...)

I kinda wish i was also popular with people around me...

And after getting invited to a party and other stuff before setting out(at the party, i became unusually getting glares at people even though i didn't do anything wrong. Especially the men...), me, my sister and our other companions set out to slay the demon lord...

~~~~~~~~

Its almost a year since we got sent here and we finally managed to reach the demon king's castle in two months. The monsters were usually at best average for me since i tend to battle stronger foes while climbing up in the guild rankings. Well, it seems that my sister and her companions tend to have a hard time fighting them, seems i'm just abnormally strong in the first place. Well, even in our world, i was above average when it came to studies and sports and i usually train by myself without knowing if i'm strong or weak i am. Thats why i never measure common sense to others...

[Bro, i never knew you were so strong. Maybe you should be a hero instead of me.]

[Haha, i don't have charisma nor leadership in the first place. I think being a hero suits you best sis.]

Especially the part where i don't even have any friends or companions like you have... Well, lets not have any crippling depression around here and time to complete this quest and head on home to where family are...

[HAHAHA! I know you came here to slay me but do you even think that you pathetic insects dare to be a match for me?]

As we open the door and head into the throne room, we met with the demon king as i can roughly say that he's...

Weaker than the dragon where i got my title from...

[I think you guys could give this a go...]

[Bro?]

[What?! How could you leave us to die?]

[Huh? When did i say about leaving you to die?]

Since i kinda want to have a match with the demon king alone.

[... I see...]

Oh, it seems my sister understand...

[He said that we can take care of this without him joing us so we'll only take all the credit for ourselves.]

[Ahh... I see...]

[Okay! Well since he trust us that much, i guess we can win this if he believes us...]

Well, technically i kinda want to battle the demon king alone without anyone's help but i guess they could with this without me interfering...

I suddenly regretted my decision five mins later...

~~~~~~~

My sister and her companions lie on the floor as they felt burden with tireness and heavy injuries while the demon king scorn at them...

[It seems you guys felt overconfident in defeating me. You should know better that you weren't a match in the first place... HA HAHA HAHA HAHA]

While the demon king triumphs at his victory, all of my sis companions turn their heads towards me with anger. Well, i never knew that you guys were this weak so i guess it time for me to step up and challenge him...

[Oh... It seems tha-.... WHAT?! Where is this overwhelming power comming from? How come i didn't notice this in the first place?!]

While he was confused about my appearance, i pulled a black sword from my back that was the same side as my body. When he saw what i was holding, he felt shock and asked me a question about my sword...

[I-is that...?]

[Oh, this? It was a sword i got after using a black dragon's corpse i just defeated and i got a cool title of dragonsl-H-H-HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! STOP LICKING MY SHOES!!]

[I'LL BE YOUR ETERNAL SLAVE! JUST DON'T KILL ME!!!]

Apparently, the dragon i defeated was this demon's master and when he saw his master that turned into someone's sword, he suddenly begged me to be my slave...

My sister smiled as if she was lovestruck while her companions look at me like i'm some monster...

~~~~~~~~~~

After bringing the demon king to the kingdom, the people praised my sister and her companions as i ignored the helpless look towards me as they felt guilt because they didn't defeat him. But i continue to ignore them as i head to the guild to get my reward you when...

[I'll marry that someone who can defeat my brother!]

As i went outside, i was met with a cheer and an announcement of my sister whom made a proposal as she points her finger at me...

All the people look towards me as i hold my breath and shout...

[I WANT TO BE NOTICED BUT NOT LIKE THIS!!!!]

And ran while being chased by the people
