Chapter 2 - "I am not a Hero"
Words were inscribed ran across the circle in multiple directions, the unfamiliar lettering beamed with a vivid light, almost blinding. Instinctively, I forced my eyes shut but then decided to shield my eyes to have an idea as to what was going on. This continued for a few seconds with no prevail, the shrieking of Daniels little harem didn’t help me to at least hear the sounds in my surroundings. The light that had engulfed us dimmed down bit by bit and I used the opportunity to remove my hands from my face.
As my eyes adjusted they were bathed in the luxury of jewel encrusted chandeliers, stained glass window full of glistening hue such as green, orange and red. I was sat on a seemingly priceless crimson carpet placed in the middle of a great hall. Kaiden and the rest had come out of their mass panic mode and were speechless with their mouths agape. Not that I was one to talk, but still I didn’t throw a fit of uncontrollable frenzy.
Gradual footsteps form the other side of the room caught my attention, I narrowed down of the person hoping to make out what they looked like but the slight blindness in my eyes had still not gone. As she drew closer, I could make out very distinctive features. Like her baby blue waist length hair and her pink Georgian styled dress full of bows and ribbons. It was an excessive amount however it still looked simple and down to ‘earth’ at the same time. Currently I question whether or not this is earth, nevertheless I just hope it isn’t as I suspect and is some practical joke someone’s trying to pull. If so, I don’t find it funny.
“Ahem” she blue haired girl cleared her throat to speak. “Welcome Heroes, I know that this must be hard to come to realization with but we dearly need your help!” With his she bowed her head and also confirmed my speculations. This is going to be bothersome.
“So basically, you want us to save your world or something?” Daniel inquired with a smug look on his face almost as if he was enjoying this.
“That is correct hero from another world” This time it was a middle aged man wearing fine and courteous clothing of the upmost supremacy. “We dearly need you save the huma (huy-ma), no to save all of Shuenia (Shu-en-nia) from the clutches of evil”
“H-Heroes!?!” The frantic voice came from one the girl in Daniel posse, she possessed Dirty Blonde hair which reached her shoulder with brown eyes whilst owning features which earned her the right to be in the tri- harem. I believe her name was . . . “Brianna, calm down “said a second one.
“Eva how can I calm down, I mean can you believe this? I don’t want to risk my life for some world i know nothing about!”
“I guess you have a point”
“Of course I do, Daniel what do you think?”
Kaiden intervened and questioned “I get you want us to help you and all, but say we do defeat this so called evil. Can we go back afterwards?”
For once something legit came out of his other than the bull crap he usually spouts.
The middle aged man, who I am guessing to be the king, looked at the girl, who I believe is most likely his daughter. Cold sweat ran down the side of his forehead as he blatantly lied and said “The scriptures only say of a way to get the heroes here but, it stated that the way to return you is to defeat the Devil King.”
“Then all we need to do is defeat the devil king and then we can go back, right Daniel.” The third platinum blonde girl said with immense pride. Her blue eyes twinkled as she hoped for his acknowledgement, and then in return got a casual smirk which gave her pure bliss and the other two infatuating anger fuelled by jealousy.
“Anyhow I am the king of Hamrana (Hum-mra-na) the kingdom of the huma. I hope that that you five heroes of the other world can lend us your power to-“The man was abruptly cut off but buy and attendant who then ran to his side and informed him of something. Whatever it was it’d caused him to open his eyes wide and move his finger over us. Correct, they finally realised, there are six of us not five.
“Your Majesty there is a way to check which one of them isn’t a hero” A man dressed in priest like clothes suggested. “ We have them check their statuses”
“Indeed, that is correct, as expected the country top Scholar” the king confirmed. So he’s a scholar huh, he did give off a refined air about him. “ Now heroes can you recite the word ‘status’ in your mind.”

A game like object appeared before me. “Now say ‘Titles Page’ and another screen should appear.

This was new, not unexpected but new. I understand how exactly my endurance came about, but agility is surprising. The platinum blonde bimbo stared right at me obviously hoping to compare her own to mine. <
The blonde kept hers open to boast to the others.

“The five heroes will be automatically alignment with the Huma” added the Scholar. This confirmed it, I was not a hero but was forcibly brought here by mistake. How bothersome.
“Excuse me” I said. With this all eyes in the room were directed towards me, with surprise. It’s nothing new I’ve always had a weak presence also since I rarely speak it’s quite a shock for the three little dwarfs. Even Daniel has never heard me speak even though he constantly bothers me, he also was interested as what I had to say. I guess it was logical, I don’t speak therefore if I do it must have some Importance. The girls then gave me a dirty look due to Daniels action and in the corner of my eye I could see my brother burning with intense hatred.
“Yes, what is dear?” The king asks in the sweetest way possible.
“I am not a Hero”.
