In this sentence:

> 君は選ばれたのだ 私の退屈を埋めるための欠片の１つ **に**

Does the particle に work in the same way as として? Is it the same as
私の退屈を埋めるための欠片の１つとして ?

Thanks for the answer!

question
grammar particle-に
Can に have the same function as として?
Yes, に works like English "as", a role marker. "You were chosen **as** one of
the pieces...".

Yes, at least in your case, に is interchangeable with として. (Of course this is
not always true because both として and に have many other functions.)
