The Im Not Main Character
The main protagonist, Mad Dog (Arc III — End)

“Away from here, ma'am! Quickly go to the man's place and ask for his protection. I can't fight while protecting you!”

Mad Dog is full of urgency to convey that. He can't let anything happen to his mother.

“You are a good and loving dog mom. It almost moved me and wanted to kill you as soon as possible!”

“You're right big brother! Let's drag his mother alive and humiliate her! It's better than ending it with killing.”

The twin Demon Dog Gods said so. Mad Dog doesn't know either of them but of their kind they are Golden Retrievers.

To him those two dogs were only keroco that could be annihilated once a punch. But because he was protecting his mother, Mad Dog was unable to fight freely.

Every time he faced one, the others would go after his mother. It was a troublesome tactic that even Mad Dog was difficult to overcome.

Plus the wounds from his fight with Arcturus are still imprinting. He did not expect to be injured that badly just by fighting a group of weak people.

Even if three days have passed does not mean he has healed completely.

“If something happens to my mother then you will feel worse than death!”

Mad Dog swore he'd kill them. There is no doubt in his words.

“Haha! You are only big mouth, since earlier not even able to launch a punch!”

“Sad, very sad! Here, hurry up and hit here!”

The Golden Retriever showed his cheek, challenging Mad Dog to beat him up. Even though Mad Dog wanted to jump and hit him, he couldn't.

His emotions are so high but it won't be able to provoke him to leave his mother.

The main problem that he was worried about was the Doberman who had only been watching silently since then without a word.

A dog with dark blue hair and a burly body just observed the Mad Dog without acting or a word.

‘She is strong.’

Not stronger than himself but with the current condition fighting him was very troublesome. Especially if the three dogs work together, maybe Mad Dog won't be able to handle it.

He was faced with a difficult choice to make.

‘Killing all three I can still do, but the risk is losing mom.’

From what his mother had told him, the Demon Dog God was a very cunning race. They will do anything for victory.

The three dogs' current winning situation was to bring in Mirae, then Mad Dog would easily be controllable.

On the contrary, the conditions of Mad Dog's own victory were extremely difficult. He must endure and ensure the safety of his mother. Then, he needs reassurance that the other dogs won't come after him.

There is the option of eliminating all three quickly, but the risk is also not small. Had he killed the three dogs, it would have provoked more of his people to come.

‘Sial, this is not easy!’

Now he completely understood what his father meant and that bastard Arcturus. Even though he is strong, there are things that cannot be done alone.

It would be useless if he was the only one who was strong alone.

“Yohan my son, you better get the hell out of here! I'll buy time for you!”

Mirae stepped forward in front of her son, acting as if to protect him.

“That's impossible for you, ma'am! I don't want to lose you!”

Mad Dog raised his voice in annoyance and tried to pull his mother sheltering behind his back.

“Listen to your mother, son. You have to go and take cover from them. Take it easy, mom will be fine and see you soon.”

Mirae smiled as gently as she could, a smile that Mad Dog— Yohan appreciated so much. A smile that allowed him to endure day after day even though this world was too cruel for him.

“I won't leave you no matter what, bu—”

“Do you dare to refute mommy?!” Mirae raised her voice. “You must obey your mother and quickly leave! Do you want to make your mom cry, son?”

Mad Dog was silent, trembling and herding his lips. He did not dare to oppose his mother, but also could not obey her.

If he leaves here then it is the end for his mother. Mad Dog knew very well that leaving him was not an option to take.

“Do you want to leave me alone, mom?” Mad Dog said tremblingly.

Mirae wanted to say something but fell silent, her voice unable to come out.

“You are everything I have. Mother is the world I have, are you asking me to let go of that world?”

Tears are dripping. Mad Dog clenched his hands tightly. No matter if he is known as the strongest, he will eventually be able to cry.

Even the strongest man on earth must be extremely weak against an existence known to mother. After all, this world requires men to be stronger.

"Men can't be weak, men won't cry, men are strong" such a stigma is instilled in all men.

But if it has to do with the figure of the mother, does strength have any meaning? Every man is a child in the presence of a mother. It's just that sometimes the little boy acts as if he's an adult in order not to worry his mother.

“What mother ... asked me alone? I don't want that—”

Just as Mad Dog said so, the Golden Retriever darted forward towards him.

“Yohan-!”

Mirae rushed over to him and received the Golden Retriever's claw.

“Haha! What a heartwarming scene until I want to cry!”

Cruc!

A huge wound formed in Mirae's stomach, fresh blood flowing from both her stomach and mouth spewing blood.

“No ... mother!”

Mad Dog wrapped his hand on Mirae's wound while crying. His head was chaotic, eliciting pessimistic thoughts about his mother's condition.

“Despathetic basics. Trouble chasing you to this continent but the results are disappointing.”

“We'd better kill them and bring their heads to the leader.”

The Golden Retriever twins walked slowly towards him. Mad Dog doesn't care about them, he only worries about his mother.

Even if it had to end like this, Mad Dog would kill all those bastards and die with his mother.

But apparently fate will say something else about his future.

“Stop your actions.”

A weak yet strong voice reached their ears. Immediately Mad Dog felt an overwhelming aura coming from somewhere else.

The dogs leapt back in alarm, observing the talking figure from within the forest and approaching.

For the first time, the Doberman frowned and spoke.

“Who are you?”

“Arcturus Religia.”

Arcturus appears along with Edward and Leona. His arrival may seem heroic but his condition sitting in a wheelchair makes his dashing impression disappear.

“Let's talk quietly Hound Dog.”

The Doberman raised his eyebrows as Arcturus' words attracted his interest. He then smiled and snorted in interest.

“You're not just any human being knowing that I'm a Hound Dog that even that boy doesn't know. I've also heard of the Religious nobility. So that's it, you have a troublesome acquaintance, a runaway boy.”

Arcturus wondered about what that bastard meant by troublesome. Maybe it's about the rumors that have been circulating lately.

“Hah?! Foolish bastard, why do we follow the words of a cripple like you—”

“You silent stupid dog.” Doberman said resentfully to the Golden Retriever, making him look down apologetically and quietly.

“Sorry for the disturbance,” he said as he folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes. “Unfortunately I can't do that. We've been looking for it for a long time and it's impossible to just let go of it.”

It was expected that they would not retreat so easily. Arcturus knew very well how stubborn the Demon Dog God was.

Arcturus smiled wryly, “That would be troublesome. If possible I don't want to do a futile fight here.”

The Doberman opened his eyes, looking at Arcturus with a mysterious gaze.

“Fight is futile here, yes ... that means we will have a meaningful fight somewhere else, right?”

Arcturus answered him with a smile only, making the Doberman wonder about whether it was confirmation or not. His smile signified that his answer was gray.

“Hmm, what if you delay your hunt now? Of course I will give you equivalent rewards.”

Dobermanns do not want to go home empty handed. From the very beginning Arcturus entered this stage, the damn Doberman was after this conversation.

He tried to judge whether Arcturus was a valuable person or not by speaking. Had Arcturus not had anything meaningful, that bastard would have attacked him.

“What do you mean?”

“I know how to release the seal that you guys, the Demon Dog God tried desperately to remove it.”

The Doberman furrowed his brows furiously. A terrifying aura immediately burst out from his body.

“What do you know about seal?”

Arcturus smiled, “Only a little. I know you wanted Mirae as a sacrifice to open it. Therefore I will give you the information worth.”

The Demon Dog God was in an attempt to open something. Arcturus knew this thanks to the novel's information and his previous life.

If he only depended on the novel, it would not be revealed. But thanks to him restarting this world, the information in his hands was overwhelming.

“Land of Creation .. You will find what you need there. I'm sure you understand it without needing me to explain.”

The Doberman remained silent, preventing Arcturus from finding any information from his reaction.

The Demon Dog God certainly knew about it but they did not believe in the truth. Arcturus therefore needs to provide validation that he can trust.

“I'm sure you've guessed the aura I released is one of the Ancient Determination. I got this myself, then of course I know the Ancient Determination you guys are trying to get.”

The Demon Dog God was trying to release the Ancient Determination that their ancestors had passed down from generation to generation.

Only Ancient Determination this one is a little unique so it is not easy to have it.

“So so. You said something interesting .. then fine. We will follow this deal. It's just that there are things that interest me,” Doberman narrowed his eyes. “What there we won't fight in vain?”

Arcturus has a smile on his lips, “Ya. There we can fight to get something. Maybe you can realize the dream that you buried so far.”

The Doberman smiled with satisfaction before turning around and leaving. The Golden Retriever inevitably followed him with a reluctant feeling.

“Huh, it's finally over. Edward, quickly take Mirae to the residence, Leona you help her!”

“Yes!

Arcturus was not willing to waste time and needed to act quickly.

Edward and Leona immediately take Mirae away by teleportation, while leaving Arcturus alone with Mad Dog.

The boy seemed obedient and let his mother take him.

The atmosphere was quiet until some time later.

“You look messy, Mad Dog.”

There was no response at all from the petrified Mad Dog. Arcturus realizes that Mad Dog has already slapped reality.

“Things won't get any better, Mad Dog. You can't protect something precious alone. Your father knew that, and asked you to find a partner who would stand by your side. But you misinterpreted it and caused this tragedy to happen.”

Mad Dog has great ability and potential. He was one of the few people capable of making Alda a fuss against him.

This bastard might be the most difficult to deal with than the other main protagonists.

But like everything else, Mad Dog has a fatal flaw in ideology and belief. He grew up with an environment that allowed him to believe only in himself.

“... you are right. No matter how strong I am, when faced with such a situation my strength cannot protect anything.”

For people it seems like admitting failure is a difficult thing. Mad Dog never imagined that he would have to learn from his mistakes.

“What should ... do I?” Mad Dog looked down with a bitter feeling.

“You are strong ... very strong. But both hands are weak when it comes to protecting something. Therefore, you have another hand that will replace you protect.”

The other person who would be by his side when he was about to go smash. The one who will be the hand that pats his back, conveys that everything will be fine.

A hand that would encourage him not to worry, that his world revolving around his mother would be fine.

Arcturus with his wheelchair moved closer to Mad Dog until he was right in front of him.

“Haha, you are such a powerful person that I have to be paralyzed to talk to you. From the beginning you never need any help from anyone.”

The main protagonist, Seong Yohan or Mad Dog is just a boy in puberty who naively looks at everything. Just because this bastard is strong, sometimes Arcturus even forgets that Mad Dog is much younger than him.

“But will you help me, Yohan? Need you. Not to be a fighting weapon, but as a friend who fights with me. In exchange, I swear I will save your mother.”

Arcturus extended his hand while Mad Dog only stared at him silently.

“You ... would you lend me a hand that caused your paralysis?”

“I'm still upset that you hit me. But that's no reason to hate you. In the end, friends are the ones who will fight each other before making up after.”

Friends or maybe friends are the existence of people who can be invited to fight and embrace each other again afterwards.

“Boxing is a man's way of familiarizing himself. Our fight is just a means to get us to talk like this, right? Well, even though I don't want to fight with you anymore.”

Arcturus would definitely be more than paralyzed if he fought once again with him.

Seeing that, Mad Dog smiled and laughed.

“You're just a weak bastard who usually crackles and has a big mouth.”

“Yes. That's how the strongest weaklings fight.”

Mad Dog watched Arcturus closely. It was the black-haired man, the only person who did such a terrible thing to create something like this.

“You didn't lie if you could save my mom, did you?”

“I wouldn't lie about that.”

“Then if so,” Mad Dog took one step and shook Arcturus' hand. “I will be the foot that takes you step to your destination.”

Arcturus smiles. In his heart he felt warm and relieved, even mixed with haru.

In the end, an equal and peaceful relationship with Mad Dog was achieved. Later, Arcturus recalls Mad Dog's last wish before his death.

‘If you manage to repeat this world .. please, I want to have a good relationship with you. Just like the sisters you always reveal, my first friend and older brother, Arcturus!’

Each time he remembered the event made his heart ache. But even so Arcturus will carry the pain and continue to move forward.

To fight a world that even its main villain has yet to reveal, Arcturus will fight until the future he hopes to be in his grasp.
