True. But if I were him, I’d still want to know why this is being done to me - what’s his endgame, and is there any actual benefit for me? The other side’s no better than the Dark King. The city hailed the protagonist as a hero, handed him weapons, and barked orders. Nobody cared that the MC was a complete greenhorn who literally couldn’t do anything. They piled sky-high expectations on him, then when he inevitably screwed up (predictably), they blamed him for everything and exiled him- along with the entire guild, despite their backbreaking work for the city’s sake. After that kind of treatment, you start wondering: why even bother saving this damned city and its people?

Of course, MC was treated well, - all because he had the label *Chosen One of Prophecy* hanging over his head. I’m sure no one would’ve cared about him if he’d just been a nobody. The only person who’s honest with the MC is Alex, who outright says he doesn’t give a damn who the protagonist is, since he doesn’t believe in prophecies. To him, the MC is just an annoyance.
