Dream sequence- A visit to the past.

As John was sleeping soundly he dreamt of the time when he first came to Entrock. The world of Entrock was full of magic and mysteries. That world was home to the Gods, Demons, Elves, Dwarfs, Humans, Demi-humans, Magbeasts, and so on. At the time there were thirteen Gods and Goddesses. But among them, Kryos god of the underworld declared war on the Gods as well as the entire world of Entrock. However, if the gods waged war against each other, everything within their path would necessarily be destroyed without producing much results as all the gods were almost close to each other in power scaling but not identical. Every being Entrock as well as the gods were quite shocked to learn that Kryos would do such a thing; as the war was profitless; but only Kryos knew whether there was any profit or not. There was also a slight problem as Kryos was considered the strongest among them as well as the bravest; although only by a very small fraction. Kryos however sided with the demons and granted them godly powers; to fight against the world for him. So the whole world was under the grand threat of extinction. As the gods were neither desperate nor brave enough to risk their power and position, the twelve Gods and Goddesses tried to resolve the problem by summoning a hero from another world, as they tend to possess limitless potential, although; they knew that even with that potential it was still not quite enough to defeat a god. Even so, the gods resorted to the summoning anyway.

But the question was, who to summon? Many gods suggested summoning athletes from the earth as they had a stronger physique. Freya the goddess of the demi-humans as well as the goddess of wisdom straight up suggested John. Freya had her eyes on John for quite some time. The other Gods and Goddesses knew of Freya’s wisdom thus they didn’t oppose. However, they did ask, “Why John?“

Freya answered, “Because there is no soul more compassionate than his. “ Freya personally descended to the royal sanctuary of Ramblewood. Emblewood was the greatest man-made city in the west region. It was ruled by king Emble(IX) at the time. The city had a diverse population and history consisting of humans, elves, dwarfs, and even demi-humans. Demi-humans however were treated as slaves. They had no citizenship. Another reason for choosing John was the hope that he could one day free the demies.

Freya spoke through her statue in the royal sanctuary to the high priestess. She also gave her the required information about summoning John.

The high priestess hurried to the Royal Court and told the king of the coming threat and the Goddess’s decision. The king immediately summoned the grand mages to the court and ordered them to make the necessary arrangements for summoning John. The summoning required twenty-four grand mages and 24 drops of blood from a virgin maiden of the royal lineage. For the blood donation Princess Lia, the 2nd daughter, of the house of Emble was chosen. The summoning began in the royal garden.

Meanwhile, John Brown, a first-year high school student of North Extreme High School was engaged in his beauty sleep. He lived in a small town called Havoc. He always took naps in the afternoon for who knows what reasons.

John had great relationships with his family. He had lots of friends at school. He however was attracted to women more than any normal men. He possessed above-average abilities in almost everything. He had blonde hair and a handsome face. Truly the jack of all trades but master of none! Even his downstair’s size…..Ummm…. Never mind…..He was living the dream life. Only on the outside though. Inside he always wanted more. He wanted an adventurous life full of romance; not a boring dull blissful one. He wanted to make the world a better place but didn’t know-how.

Suddenly John found himself in a beautiful garden. There were flowers everywhere. About twenty men with weird robes had him surrounded. He quickly however realized that there was a young beautiful girl lying next to him covered in blood around her left hand. She had pale white skin and hair. She appeared to be in her early twenties but she definitely was a beauty to behold. Although she wasn’t severely wounded John got overexcited; to see a beauty on the ground.

“Hey! Hang in there. Someone call a doctor. Did you psychopaths do this!?” John asked excitedly.

“Calm down young man. It is true that we are responsible for this but there is a good reason for it,” replied one of them, in a calm tone.

Getting up slowly John moved towards that mage and punched him in the abdomen. The grand mage screamed in pain and agony.

“Please calm down lad. Her life is not in danger. She’s alright.” Pleaded another one of them.

“What do you mean? She has already bled so much! How can her life not be in danger?” Said John in confusion.

“Take a closer look, her wound has already healed.”

“What the hell! What is going on? How!? How!?”

“It is because of our magic,”

“Magic? What do you mean? Where the heck am I? Who are you, people?”

“Yes, John. Magic,” Said the girl who was covered in blood only moments ago.

”How can you move after that? And how do you know my name?” John asked as he was quite surprised to see the girl standing. However, he was, even more, astounded to see how beautiful she was.

“Don’t worry I’m fine. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the 2nd daughter of the Emble house, Princess Lindblum von Lia Emblewood. I have seen you many times in my dreams,”

“Dreams? Man, talk about an impact-full name. By the way, where are we?”

“We are at the royal garden in the capital city of Emblewood. This world is known as Entrock,”

“Guess I’ll calm down for now. It would be a waste to get worked up around such a rare beauty!"

"Why am I here?” John asked.

“How dare you talk to the princess in that tone! I’ll beat you to the ground.” To John’s surprise, he noticed that a guard was infuriated at him for his way of speaking to the princess.

“It is okay. But one more word and you are the one who will be punished, guard,” Lia said that with a determined face.

“Forgive me, your highness,” The guard said.

“John, you have been summoned to this world as a savior,” The princess explained as she waved her arms about. John felt like he was in a trance.

“Savior! I don’t get it!” As John was quite confused he couldn’t think of anything else. Why would he be a savior, and save what exactly?

“Our world is under the threat of the evil god Kryos. He wishes to annihilate all of us.”

Why does it feel like I’m listening to a script of a role-playing game? John thought.

"I see. But how can I a powerless man, save the whole world?” Asked John.

“I believe in you. Because you are the chosen one,”

“Wait, what!? Why would you believe in somewhat you just met? It’s not entirely a bad thing, but...”

" But I do believe in you..." Lia said as she appeared innocent.

“John, wake up!” A distant voice echoed but John couldn’t take notice.

“The chosen one? This is not making any sense! “John exclaimed.

“Come with me. Father will explain the rest.”

“John, wake up. John! John!” The distant voice became clearer as time passed.

Suddenly John woke up only to realized it was already morning.
