His eyes remained on her until she left the room. After so many days of hopelessness, she gave him some hope again, and he still recalls the happy time he was having with his parents.
Looking around the room, the decor was extremely light. On his left side, there was a giant window, and on his right side, there was a fruit basket with a variety of fruits in it.
A nice set of clothes was neatly arranged on a chair. Standing up, he glanced in the mirror in front of him.
When looking in the mirror, he mocked himself, standing 6 feet tall, with light brown skin and a skinny body. Even his face cut is nice but because of malnutrition during that time after running for his life, he resembled a bamboo tree.
He moved to the window after putting on the clothes; it was night, and the moon was in the sky. He stared at the moon and recalled the days following the death of his parents. For him, everything turned upside down. He lost his job, friends left him, even got sucked into something that he does not even understand. He slept on the street when he was hiding from those guys.
Suddenly he let out a long sigh and whispered,
“Maybe this world can give me some peace”, and then there was a knock on the door. After turning around, he saw Lucy with the trolley loaded with dishes.
“You should have a wonderful dinner and get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow morning, the King will meet you. If you need anything, just pull the thread beside the bed and I will help you,” she said to him as she left.
In fact, he was quite hungry since he hadn’t eaten for so many days; he didn’t bother looking at the food served, just kept everything on his plate and began eating.
As he closed his eyes, a teardrop formed in the corner of his eyes and started sliding down his cheek. He recalled the days when he had to hold his stomach and sleep on the streets, eating nothing.
With a long sigh, he finished eating. He lay down on the bed and thought about meeting the king. Maybe he will be the Hero of this world. He chuckled and closed his eyes.
After putting his hand in front of his eyes to block the light, he felt the sunshine on his face; after a good night’s sleep after so many days, he felt quite refreshed.
After getting up from the bed and going to the washroom, he came out to find Lucy standing in front of him.
She smiled and said, “I brought breakfast and kept the dress for the meeting today. I will be there in half an hour.” She left after that.
Following breakfast, he changed his clothes. He looked in the mirror and noticed that he looked quite good in black pants and a white shirt.

“You look handsome, buddy,” He said after shaking his head. He sat on the chair for a moment, then heard Lucy knocking and she came in.
She had a shocked expression on her face for a moment before she smiled. “You looked quite handsome in that dress. Many ladies would be smitten by you.”
He smiled and looked at her saying nothing.
“Shall we go?” She asked, looking at him for an answer. He nodded and gestured for her to lead the way.
Once he came out of the room, he saw they were standing in a long corridor. He followed her as she moved in one direction.
Thoughts of his meeting with the king made his heartbeat quite fast.
After looking at him for a moment, she asked, “Questions? “
After shaking, he nodded his head. She laughed when she saw his actions.
“Don’t be nervous, just go ahead.”
As he gestured for her to continue walking, he asked, “Can you tell me about the king?”
She continued, “Our king is the strongest person on this continent. He has one queen and four mistresses. I am the personal maid of the queen. He has 4 sons and 3 daughters.” Suddenly, they stood in front of an enormous door at the end of her sentence. Then she gestured for him to enter.
Taking a few steps forward, he slowly opened the door. Someone had graciously decorated this hall with the chandelier hanging in the middle.
A group of three men and two women were sitting beside the table. A moment later, he began pacing towards a vacant chair and thinking to himself.
“So I am not the only one here,” he said with a chuckle and shook his head as he sat down, closing his eyes and crossing his hands.
“Hey Mate!” This sudden voice pulled him out of his thoughts, and he looked towards the person sitting opposite to him. The male looked like a European with blonde hair and a handsome face; he was gesturing to his wineglass.
Then he took a sip of the wine as a gesture and said to him.
“Tarun, Tarun Shekhawat” He looked at him in search of an answer.
“Indian, huh? Well, I am Marcus, Only Marcus,” he smiled and said.
Tarun was stunned. Does this person know about his country?
He grinned and said to Tarun, “We are all from Earth.”.
He gestured towards himself and said “Aussie” then he gestured towards a man sitting beside him and said “British”, then again gesturing towards a black man “American” then towards the Asian girl and said “Chinese” and the last girl wearing the spectacle “Canadian”.
Tarun exhaled deeply, shocked to learn that he was not alone in being called from the Earth; he opened his mouth to ask, but then a loud voice interrupted his words.
“Please stand up for King Leo”
Upon looking towards the source of the voice, Tarun saw that a valet stood by the gate. After a moment, a tall man with thick hair and a black beard, wearing a crown on his head, entered the hall, followed by a beautiful woman and a white man with a bald head.
As he sat at the center of the table, the woman sat on his left side and the bald man on his right side.
He gazed at the six people opposite him, drew a deep breath, and exclaimed.
“I am Leo, King of Avaron. She is Mellissa, Queen of Avaron, and he is Ralph, Priest of Avaron.” He introduced himself and continued.
“You may wonder why you are suddenly called to this world,” he said as he glanced at them
We were told a prophecy by our Oracle a few days ago.
[ON THE DAY WHEN THE WORLD WILL BE COVERED IN DARKNESS, AN OTHERWORLDER WHO UNDERSTANDS THE DARKNESS WILL BE THE LAST HOPE TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE BLIGHT.]"
“We performed the forbidden ritual to summon the Heroes of the World to save our world to prepare for the potential disaster”.
“Please forgive our selfishness and help us save this world,” he continued, standing up and bowing towards them.
