So during my playthrough of Dragon Quest XI, I named my hero character "Shen Yuan" for kicks and giggles.

For those who don't know, Dragon Quest is a video game series whose designs are done by the late Toriyama and is a massively popular series in Japan. It's the prototype for every medieval fantasy JRPG.

Dragon Quest XI in particular follows the selfless chosen one/lost prince, The Luminary, as he battles the forces of darkness to bring peace back to the magical world of Erdrea. The hero is a blank slate for you to project yourself onto who doesn't talk or emote for most of the game. The "official" name for the protagonist is Eleven.

Now all I can think of is if post-canon SVSSS Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu re-transmigrated to Dragon Quest as the famed protagonist and now instead of being the villain who has to avoid a bad ending, he has to deal with the pressure of being the Messiah of a fantasy world that everyone expects him to save.

Meanwhile, everyone's confused as to why Shen Qingqiu (who is really Eleven the protag) is acting so bland and quiet.

The other peak lords all assume it's another qi deviation, but Shang Qinghua and Luo Binghe figure out pretty quickly that this isn't the Shen Qingqiu that they know. Someone was forced into shizun's body, so Shizun must be wherever they were from. So Luo Binghe grabs Xin Mo and travels to Erdrea to find his beloved shizun.

So Shen Yuan's party gets to the World Tree to fulfill the hero's destiny and defeat the Dark Lord, only to find that Luo Binghe has already defeated him and is desperate to bring his shizun back, wrecking everyone else in the process.

Shen Yuan/"Eleven": BINGHE, I HAVE A WORLD TO SAVE! I'M THE PROTAGONIST NOW!

Luo Binghe: NOT ANYMORE! I TOOK CARE OF IT FOR YOU, SHIZUN! NOW COME BACK WITH ME!

Act 3 wouldn't hurt anywhere near as much if, throughout the whole game and especially act 2, there hadn't been multiple plot relevant instances of the party going "the Luminary was never meant to fight alone, we made it that far together and we will stay by his side no matter what" only for the Luminary to turn around and leave them at the first opportunity.

I'm not even saying this to criticise the time travel plot (I dislike that for a different reason, although to be fair, the gameplay was super fun and I love Veronica lol. Anyway), this is actually a pretty interesting characterisation of the Luminary. Not in the sense of "asshole that doesn't give a shit about the feelings of the people that risked their lives to stay by his side" but how far he really is ready to go to undo his mistakes. It's at the very least implied that he blamed himself for Yggdrasil’s fall, and enough to throw away so much and disregard his friends' wishes. I don't believe he didn't think of them; they were all in for saving Veronica and Erdrea before they heard about the consequences, and he probably didn't even hear what they said. He failed at the one thing he was destined to do with terrible consequences, and he's ready to leave his friends, who actively decided to stay by his side despite all hardships on multiple occasions and who said that losing him is too much for them, if it means he can go back. It's that selfish selflessness that's written into his character.
