Not everyone dreams of becoming a hero. Some people just want to live a normal life. But what happens when someone who wanted to be great ends up traveling through time and space to become an unlucky NPC? That is exactly what happened to Leo. His story is strange full of surprises and oddly funny.
The Beginning of the Journey
Leo was just an ordinary guy. He loved games and spent most of his free time playing role-playing adventures. He always dreamed about waking up in another world where he could be the chosen one. One day after staying up all night gaming he fell asleep and woke up somewhere very different.
He was no longer in his room. Instead he stood in a field under a purple sky. He wore strange clothes and carried a bag with bread and coins. He thought this must be a dream. But it wasn’t. He had been pulled across time and space. Something or someone had sent him into a game-like world.
Leo was excited at first. He thought this was his chance to shine. Maybe he was the hero in this world. But things didn’t go that way. Instead he soon learned he had no magic no sword skills and no special destiny. He had become a background character. He had traveled through time and space to become an unlucky NPC.
Life as an NPC
In this world NPCs did basic tasks. They sold items cleaned streets or gave quests to real heroes. Leo was a baker in a small village. Every day he baked bread and gave it to adventurers who never said thank you. He couldn’t fight he couldn’t level up and he had no way to leave the village. His dream had become a boring job.
But things got worse. His bakery kept getting destroyed. One day a dragon attacked. Another day a group of bandits robbed the village. Each time Leo lost everything and had to start over. The other villagers didn’t seem to notice or care. It was just how the world worked.
Leo began to understand his role. He was there to make the world feel real for others. The heroes were the stars and he was part of the background. That was his purpose. He had travel through time and space to become an unlucky NPC and it was starting to feel like a curse.
A Glitch in the World
One day something strange happened. Leo found a glowing rock near the forest. When he touched it his memory returned fully. He remembered Earth and everything before his strange journey. The rock also gave him the ability to see the code of the world around him.
He saw that his life was part of a game system. But the rock had created a glitch. He could now change small things. He learned how to move outside his set path. He could walk to new towns and avoid certain events. He was still an NPC but now he had freedom.
Leo started using this glitch to help other NPCs. He taught them how to avoid danger. He warned them about quests that would end badly. Slowly the world began to shift. NPCs started to act in strange ways. They became smarter and more aware.
The Heroes React
The real players noticed the change. The NPCs were no longer simple. They didn’t follow scripts. The game developers were confused. Something was wrong. They tried to reset the game but Leo was now part of the system. He had traveled through time and space to become an unlucky NPC but now he was the glitch they could not fix.
Some heroes tried to delete him. Others wanted to help him. But Leo didn’t want to be deleted or saved. He wanted freedom for all NPCs. He started a movement. More NPCs joined him. They refused to be background characters. They wrote their own stories.
A New World
In the end the developers gave up. They released an update that allowed all NPCs to have free will. Leo’s story spread far and wide. He had changed the game forever. He had traveled through time and space to become an unlucky NPC but ended up becoming a legend.
His story teaches us something. Even if you feel like you are just a side character in someone else’s story you can still change the world. You don’t need magic or fame to make a difference. All you need is the courage to try.
So the next time you feel stuck remember Leo. He started as a baker in a broken village and became the spark that rewrote history. Sometimes the unlucky ones are the ones who change everything.
