It was a nice summer evening. The sun was still in the sky and you could hear children running and playing outside. A young man was sitting in front of his computer and browsing the internet. That young man was me. About 1,70 meters tall, short brown hair and a face that always seemed to be sleepy. In other words, an average guy.

I rubbed my tired eyes and looked outside. It was about 7 pm and I was already getting hungry.

While I was thinking about what I should eat, I saw something shining bright from below my feet. As I looked down, I could make out a circle with lines of strange symbols along the edge.

I rubbed my eyes once more and looked down again.

There it was, a circle, not unlike the ones I saw several times in anime and mangas.

I sighed and closed my eyes. Was my mind playing tricks with me? I have always fantasized about suddenly being reincarnated or being summoned into another world, but of course, they were only fantasies. I would have never dared to think that such a thing would become a reality.

As if mocking me, the circle began to shine even brighter and I began to doubt that this was just a hallucination. The light got so bright, I had to close my eyes. “Oh, come on...”, I murmured while covering my eyes.

All of a sudden, the ground disappeared. Before I even realized what happened, I was already falling. Around me there was only darkness.

My name is Ron Noguchi, my story was about to start.
