Chapter 1: Strange new world, stranger classmates

Hello, sorry if I'm such a bad writer, I'm honestly horrible at dialogue. Along with almost everything else.

Well anyway, please rate this story, preferably an honest rating please.

Thank-you, enjoy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blake felt like he was in a washing machine that someone had turned on and rolled off Mount Everest. Several times he wanted to throw up, but couldn't. For some reason his body felt strange, almost like it wasn't there.

After what could have been seconds, or years to Blake. He finally left the rolling washing machine.

But when he saw what was in front of him, he could only sigh. He then stood up and prepared himself mentally for what was to come.

"Welcome heroes! To the realm of Gaia!"

There on a throne, leaning forward and staring at Blake with an exited glint in his old eyes. Was an  old man dressed up in the finest looking clothing, and he even had an elaborate looking crown on his head.

Then Blake thought something, why was the old man staring at him. He couldn't help but let a bit of happiness that he was being noticed burn brightly in his cold heart, but that light died out almost immediately.

He followed the mans eyes behind him and he saw the rest of his class, the person that the 'king' was looking at was non other than Jake Light.

Blake cursed himself in his heart, furious at himself for hoping, only to get shot down again. He thought that he should have learnt his lesson by now.

While Blake was already up on his feet looking around, the rest of his class was still sitting around groaning. But no one payed any heed to Blake who was taking in the huge chamber they were in.

It had an extremely tall ceiling, they could fit a giraffe standing on another giraffes head in here, Blake thought. The tall ceiling had designs of men fighting fearsome beasts and nobles standing proud, just looking at them Blake felt great respect for the man/men that made this detailed art.

The class themselves were sitting on an expensive looking rug that had a large circle interlined with strange symbols. The walls had no windows but instead were covered in more art scenes of huge scale battles against what looked like zombies.

Looks like the owner of this place really likes art, thought Blake.   

"Huff, huff."

Blake turned to the person who was panting, sounding quite exhausted, when he saw her he couldn't help but blush.

It was a girl who was so beautiful words couldn't described it properly.

She had long silky looking white hair that reached her waist, light green eyes, a delicate looking nose and a rather curvy body. She too was wearing expensive looking robes.

After seeing her in such a sorry state, the king rushed over to her and let her lean on him for support.

"It's okay, you've done well Silica my daughter. Now rest."

He gestured to some people that Blake up assumed were servants who ran over and carried her off to another location, Blake was still staring at the last place he saw her in a daze. He barely noticed the king clear his throat.

"Mhm, heroes that came from another world. I know that I may be asking a lot from you, but please help our world!"

The other students who had just finished standing up, were listening to the man, some with a scared look on their face and others with an exited look on their face but most with confusion.

"I ask that you aid me in destroying the evil demon lord, who threatens all living things on this world!" The king exclaimed in an angry and determined tone.

'Wow, that's so cliche that it hurts my head.' Blake thought while rubbing his temples to ward off an incoming headache.

But, the ever justice crazed Jake Light stepped forward (albeit bit wobbly) and said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Don't worry sir! I and the rest of my classmates will help you with the best of our ability!"

After hearing Jakes short speech a few students cheered while others smiled, happy that they had such a responsible classmate.

'Wait, so no-one is going to stomp out of here? Or get angry that we just got summoned to another world to fight for people that we don't even know?' Blake wondered.

'Oh well, guess I'll go with the flow.' Blake crossed his arms and looked at the king, waiting for an explanation.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you my name didn't I? Hehe, how embarrassing for a king. My name is D'Clair Rosenhime, I am the king of the human Kingdom. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

"Nice to meet you your majesty, my name is Jake Light."

Then everyone introduced themselves one by one, when it was Blake's turn the king turned away and started explaining some of the vital info to Jake and the rest of his circle of friends (Jake, Ayame, Harry and Aya).

'Looks like he completely forgot that I was here, oh well.'

And so after a long and boring explanation about his world, the king sent the heroes off with a servant each that directs them each to a room.

To sum up the Kings speech it went something like this.

Their world only has one super continent called Gaia, which is also what their world in general is called. On this continent there are many races, the main ones being the beast Kingdom that's home to the ferocious beast men, elven Kingdom, dwarf Kingdom, human Kingdom and the ever hated demon Kingdom. Which we are going to be trained to destroy. 

Back to the present now.

While everyone was being led off individually by a servant, Blake was busy admiring the paintings. But then Blake remembered where he was, looking around he realised he was alone. 

Everyone had already left, completely forgetting about him. 

'Well fuck' Blake thought grimly.

'Oh well, I'll just wonder around until I run into one of my class mates.'

And so Blake walked out of the royal chambers and into one if the corridors that he hoped the others went through, and he ventured around the castle, occasionally running into guards who didn't notice him. He thought about asking the guards, but he didn't want to bother them on their job.

Sadly, Blake greatly underestimated the sheer size of the castle. So he wondered around for what felt like hours until he reached a large garden being bathed in the moonlight.

Walking out onto the court-yard Blake looked at the moon.

'I guess that it's night time.'

He walked around the beautifully kept garden for a while, just admiring the work of the gardeners. Until he heard what sounded like scissors. He walked over to the sound curiously.

He walked around a large hedge bush and saw the pretty girl from earlier snipping delicately away at a small plant.

Blake froze when he saw her, with her white hair shining in the moonlight. She looked like a goddess, but he mustered up his courage in one deep breath and walked over to her and tried to say in a nonchalant manor.

"Hello, umm... Pretty night tonight huh?"

He then wanted to immediately smack himself for that horrible line.

The princess (Blake assumed this from when the king called her his daughter) immediately jumped up in shock after hearing his voice. She spun around to face him with a surprised look on her face.        

"Umm, hello."

"He-hello your highness, my name is Blake Shadow. I am one of the heroes that you summoned earlier."

"O-oh, really? What brings you to my garden at this time of night?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"I was just admiring its beauty, oh! Is this your garden, sorry for intruding." This was true, Blake loved pretty scenery. This was why he was enamoured with the art in the royal chambers.

"No, it's okay. It's nice to have people admire things that you've worked hard on, isn't it?" The princess said this with a bright smile again.

"I wouldn't know" Blake muttered under his breath quietly.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" 

"Apologies, I said that it does feel very fulfilling doesn't it!"

"I agree, by the way my name is Silica Rosenhime. Yes, I am the first princess of the Rosenhime Kingdom."

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, your majesty." Blake said with an exaggerated bow at the end.

"Haha, just call me Silica, Mr Shadow."

"Yes, Silica"

"you seem a bit lost, would you like me to show you the way back to your room?"

"If you don't mind, that would help a lot."

And so Blake was walked to his room by the most beautiful woman he had ever met. Speaking of his room, it was a large one room with a king sized bed and a bathroom.

It looked like a simple but comfortable room.

As soon as Blake's head hit the pillow he started to drift off to sleep. Thinking about all the absurd things that had happened that day, and how even stranger everyone seemed to just accept it.

He wondered what tomorrow would bring, he couldn't wait for more excitement.
