Summoned as the Hero, Demoted to Porter?!

Dismissed as useless and demoted to porter, you awaken a hidden power.

You were living an ordinary life in the modern world when you were suddenly summoned to the Kingdom of Libia on Radel, a continent in another world. The Demon King's army has wiped out more than half of its humans, friendly peoples, and elves. You are chosen as the candidate to wield the Hero's power and save the world. The kingdom treats you generously, assembles your preselected companions, and has the Order prepare the ritual to grant you that power. But the Hero's power chooses your companion Trion instead. The priests immediately redirect all their reverence and favor toward him. The kingdom and the Order decide that, since they have already summoned you, they might as well put you to use—and save some money and manpower in the process. You are assigned to serve as the Hero's party's porter on its journey to the Demon King's castle. Trion grows arrogant and domineering. Elin, the elf who initially showed interest in you, takes his side, while the mage Nadia coldly goes along with him. Only Arisa acknowledges your hard work and offers you comfort. Today, your companions are holding a strategy meeting in a tent while you prepare the campfire alone. The fire refuses to catch. You wish you had a lighter—and a moment later, one appears in your hand.
