Michael didn’t remember how he died, but surely, he had. What else could explain the spectacle in front of him right now.

What looked to be priests in ceremonial garbs surrounded Michael and Guards adorned in golden armor was placed by the enormous maple pillars with an intricate design and motifs placed in a circle around them.

“Welcome to Alveleon, in my Kingdom of the seven spears. You have been chosen as our hero in this hour of need”

Michael stared a bit at the golden-crowned old man, who had just spoken. A delicate and beautiful girl, who looked to so fragile that she would fall apart at the lightest of touches spoke to Michael.

“Oh, won’t you help us” She said with pleading eyes.

“Everyone get on the floor, this is the MSA!” A man dressed in a grey suit stepped out from behind the pillars armed only by a sword hilt but with no blade.

“GUARDS!” Yelled the King “Kill him!”

The guards sprang into action towards the newcomer with spears and swords pointed forward

“You are conducting an illegal Hero summoning outside times of war, I have orders to bring you in Old man Yismir”

“You’ll never take me alive you pig” Yismir the self-announced king spat.

Michael ducked under a loose sword as the newcomer fought with the guards. He witnessed the newcomer ducking and weaving in and out of the group of guards at an inhuman speed. His sword hilt now ablaze in an everchanging length.

A spears staff was snapped in two and hit Michael in the stomach. Michael fell over onto his butt and watched almost in a daze as the newcomer twirled in the air and landed next to Michael.

“Hi, I’m Jasper – I’m part of the Magical police here in this world” Jasper said, while parrying a spear directed at him. Jasper continued speaking unhurried.

“I’m sorry that your first visit to this world is this hectic, but don’t you worry everything’s is going to be just fine.” Jasper said and gave an award-winning smile.

Michael just stared silently at Jasper, trying to work out who to trust in this scenario.

“Don’t you worry, the cavalry is here now to clean up the rest”

“What cava…” But before Michael could finish he saw several white flashes and from the flashes, new grey suited people appeared.

Michael watched in awe as a series of multi-colored flashes the battle was over.
