The Land of Hero. To fight for their land, 'hero' fight with each other. Each of them has their own ability that unique only to them and can grow following their growth. Some said that to become 'hero,' is the greatest thing to do. But, is 'hero' absolutely the strongest?
"Nggh."
For some reason, I felt a sharp pain in my head. It's weird, didn't my body already gone? How can I still feels pain?
"What is the qualification to become a hero ?"
Eh, woman voice? Who's there? Can't it be there is a woman? Wasn't I alone?
"Rein Ernst !"
The woman suddenly shrieks a sharp voice. I was surprised; my eyes was opened white. In front of my sight, I can see a woman dressed in a gorgeous traditional europian dress. Her face looks beautiful. Never once I see a beauty like her except the Hollywood actress in the TV. From her face, her age should not below 30.
The beauty can sense a weird gaze from me, her face immediately becomes red. Never a student dare to enjoy her body in their eyes in front of her sight.
Wait, what the hell she just said about? Rein Ernst? My name is Rey Ernst! Yes, it's almost similar but don't change my own name, okay?
I then realize something different, where am I? I shifted my gaze from the beauty, tried to understand my situation. Then I realized that there is a girl that keep staring at me on my right. She has a red hair and green eyes. She is still young, yet anyone who sees her will believe that she will become more beautiful in the future, maybe even more beautiful than beauty in front of me. Oh right, why the beauty in front of him looks mad? From the girl, I realize that right now I'm sitting on a chair with a table. The table even if small, it's looks gorgeous, the art makes me want to praise its creator.
On my left, a boy is staring at me with a sneer in his mouth. He has a black hair and blue eyes. Even If I hate to admit it, but his face looks handsome. Sadly his gazes contain disdain and despise that directed at me. Seeing his gaze, I become little mad. But, that is not important right now.
"Where am I right now ?" I didn't dare to let it out aloud as I keep thinking in my mind. Before I just died in a forest, then suddenly I in a place that looks like a void, but now I suddenly in a place that similar to a classroom? But is this really a classroom? The chair, the table and everything in this room look grand, this more like an auction room that sell historical objects. And in the wall hanging a picture of a woman and a man. They have sharp looks in their face with a hint of charisma.
"Who are they ?" I accidently let it out of my mouth. After I accidently speak that word, the beauty in front of me shifted her gaze, following my gaze, she can see the picture that right now I see. The beauty becomes madder after she hears what I said.
"What? You didn't know about our king and our queen? You didn't know the legend of our king, Lord Kryx Krat? And our queen, Saint Selle Reilyn?
"HAHAHAHAHAA" Sound of laughter fill the room. I become more confused because of their laugh.
"He didn't know the legend of our king? As expected from a peasant boy." Said the boy on my right.
"Peasant ?" Asked me in my mind. Right now I must be careful to guard my mouth so I won't accidently said weird things since I still didn't really understand my situation right now.
"Lord Kryx Krat, a hero with a title 'Star Ranger.' His archer is so godly that he can kill another hero in a far distance without being noticed. Even sometimes, his target didn't know how they died. There are many legends about him, how can you didn't know about it?" Asked the beauty to me.

I choose to keep silent as I can't answer her. How can I said, " Well I really didn't know any of them, and wtf with this 'hero' thing ?" Wait . . . Hero ? Can't it be? NO !!!! IMPOSSIBLE. My face becomes white because I just speculated a terrifying theory that can explain my situation right now.
"What more, you didn't know our Queen?" Added the beauty; her face becomes stern. She looks like a feminazi on the internet. They always will be offended if you didn't know about their favorite figure. Saint . . Wait, what her name again?
"Saint Selle Reilyn. Legend said when she was born, a divine light descended to the empire. She became a saint in her 20 and recorded as the youngest ever to become a saint. Her title is 'Daughter of Light.' She is faster than lightning, and her attack even stronger than the most hero. She hailed as one of the strongest saint in Heroic Sky Continent. There is a rumor that she can kill easily a Grand Mage or a Hero which have the same level with her."
Hero ? Saint ? Heroic Sky Continent? And my name got changed? Yep, it seems I got transported.
In my head, there are many questions. How suddenly I got transported to another world? How can I understand their language without learning? Wait, why I'm thinking about that! Why did I feel something difference on me?
As I become more confused, it's harder for me to breath. My face becomes red, and I felt a sharp pain in my head. The same pain that I felt after I waked up in this world.
This is just a dream, right ?

Weird ? How can his aura change dramatically?
I constantly keep my gaze on him, carefully analyzing his face. He looks confused. Then he realized that I keep staring at him. He just stares at me for a while then shift his gaze to his left. There is something wrong in his face. From his face, I know that he was confused.
Why ?
"Who are they?"
The teacher immediately turns his head. She was shocked because of his question; even I was startled
Did he just said, "Who are they?" He didn't know about the king and the queen in this empire? He didn't even know about Saint Selle? The genius that becomes a saint at 20 in this mortal world?
". . . . easily a Grand Mage or a Hero which have the same level with her." Said the teacher.
Eh ? Why this boy's condition becomes unstable. His name is Rein Ernst, right? First, his aura changed, and now his body becomes unstable? What happened to him?
"BANG " A crash sound jolted through my ears. The boy that always I stare right now is on the floor. Before it looks like he wanted to stand but before that, he already fainted. Since he lost his control of his body, he fell. His head crashed to the chair, bleeding fresh blood.
