Reincarnated as a failed hero?! Watch me Defy Fate!

I listened intently to the voices calling out to me, sending shivers down my spine. My body trembled as a cold sweat ran down my face. There was an immense energy radiating from the voices, but their owners did not reveal themselves.

Not just one—there were many voices.

I had no idea who they were, but among their countless murmurs, there was only one phrase that they all repeated, over and over again:

"Child of Fate."

I swallowed hard, trying to calm my racing heart.

"Who are you? And what is this ’Child of Fate’ you keep mentioning?!" I demanded, my voice firm despite my unease.

There was a brief silence.

Then—

"Who are ’we’?! How dare you address us so informally, you insolent brat—!" one of the voices snapped, clearly irritated.

But before it could continue, another voice quickly interrupted.

"Enough! Calm yourself! Ahem... Let us focus on the matter at hand."
