Here is the second chapter :

Chapter 2 - My gift is... ???

~Loki PoV~

~Day 1 in another world~

"Esteemed sir, it is time for the gift ranking. The King requests your presence."

I woke up to a maid knocking on the door.

"Thank you. Also just call me Loki" 

Even though I'm supposed to be a 'Hero', it feels weird being called 'Hero' and 'esteemed sir'.

After leaving my room and wandering the corridors I realised I had no idea where to go. I asked a nearby guard and he pointed the way for me, turned out I had been walking around in circles...

I opened the doors to an overly fancy room. The King stood on a stage with a crystal ball and what appeared to be a lot of important people seated watching the stage.

I later found out that they were different nobles of the kingdom.

"Welcome, Hero. Please place your hands on the crystal ball to test your gift." The King said.

I walk forward towards the stage as everyone watched, which definitely didn't bother me at all... Ok maybe a little, or a lot. 

Imagine walking to a stage with hundreds of important people as well as a King, staring at you while you try not to make a fool of yourself. 

I normally didn't do well with just class presentations, which I'll have you know, have a lot less people than the amount staring at me right now. If you haven't noticed, I am very nervous right now!

Finally, I reached the stage and placed my hands on the ball, while I was nervous, I was also looking forward to what gift I might get. 

Apparently they ranged from super strength, massive talent in magic and many others as well as being ranked from E, D, C, B, A and S. As I held my hands on the ball, it projected a screen onto the wall behind me for everyone to see. When everyone saw what it projected their faces changed from hope and apprehension to shock and some even anger. While the King tried not to show any reaction, I swear I saw his face twitch.

~random noble PoV~

I sat in the audience next to the other nobles of the kingdom, excited for what was about to happen.

Orilia started off as just a small country, and with King Clive on the throne, our magnificent country has grown to the massive kingdom it is today.

 To show how much our kingdom has grown (to the subjects as well as the neighboring countries), the King announced that there will be a Hero summoning! Back to the present, we are currently very thrilled to see what kind of divine gift the Hero received from God. 

The doors creak open revealing the Hero of our kingdom, he walked confidently toward the stage (obviously Loki's acting skills are amazing) and put his hands on the crystal ball, when the screen was projected onto the back wall, I saw... Nothing! Absolutely nothing! The Hero had no gift! In the entire history of this continent, this has never happened before!

~Loki PoV~

Well, that was a disaster. 

After finding out I had no gift, all the nobles started panicking. The King had to calm them down and promised that even though I had no gift, I must surely still be an able knight, and will most surely be able to serve the kingdom. What a pain, now I get to look forward to a long road of pain and suffering as I try to make up for my lack of a gift.

Hello again, I know I said I would post longer chapters but my ever present friend laziness just won't allow it. To make up for this though, I will try to post chapters at least once a week. Again, any feedback or suggestions are welcome and may be included in the story.

Thank you to saleban1 for fixing the mushiness (can't find a better word) for chapter 1 & 2.
