"Zane Marshall, by the verdict of the jury you are hereby accused guilty of assault, battery, and murder. Because of your high prowess in the martial arts which the government labeled you as a human weapon, you are now sentenced to 10 years in prison." (Judge)
'Sigh... how did it come to this? I just wanted to help. How was I supposed to know that he was son of a high ranking government official?'
*Flashback*
I was at a casino playing poker as usual minding my own business and hanging out with my friends. Some would say that I was addicted to gambling and... they are kind of right.
I love the thrill of bluffing and lying your way to earn more money. Also the faces of the defeated kind of gets me horny after they see that I wasn't bluffing my hand. I have been pretty successful as a gambler and earned quite a bit of money. But I was also a pretty famous martial artist.
My parents died when I was young and so my grandfather took care of me. My grandfather owns a dojo and he teaches 4 different kinds of martial arts there. And being his grandson, he forced upon me his teachings until I graduated high school and went to college. He taught me Muay Thai, Systema Spetsnaz, Aikido, and Jiu-Jitsu.
As fate would have it, I joined the boxing club in college. I got good. Really good in fact. So good that I got the gold medal at the Summer Olympics a few years back.
After I won that I became a MMA fighter and earned a lot of money. 26 wins and 1 loss. The first loss was in my first fight because I was nervous of the crowd.
I quit that after it got boring. Then one of my friends introduced me to gambling. At first it was harmless and I just did it for fun. But then i got addicted. It gave me such a thrill. The thrill of the tension in the air made my brain release endorphins which gave me a high that I got sometimes during those rare good fights.
Anyway. I was minding my own business until I heard a crash and the sound of a woman screaming and yelling for help, as a man was basically sexually assaulting her as he dragged her away.
I thought, 'Why the hell isn't anyone doing anything?'

I acted. The guy was drunk so I easily knocked him out. Or so I thought.
He got a broken champagne bottle and hit in the back of the head. My head was spinning. He tried to stab me with the sharp end of the bottle but I caught his hand and twisted it so his grip on the bottle became loose.
But I was still dizzy so I accidentally fell on him. And so did the bottle, which led to him bleeding to death. Which brings me back to the present.
*Present*
I found out later that the guy's dad had some pretty serious connections and I didn't even get a fair trial.
As I was about to exit the court room with handcuffs and with the security guards behind my back there was a light coming from the ground.
There were strange markings on the ground as the letters were glowing with a red light that looked menacing. People in the room were panicking, and I heard some children crying.
The light got brighter and brighter until I had to close my eyes.
When I opened them I saw that I was in a different location.
'Huh? What the hell? How did I get here?'
It seems like everyone else from the court room was here also, even the judge. The court room was packed because I was kind of a celebrity and there were a few news reporters and some of my former fans and maybe some haters came to witness my trial. There was also the jury and other random people also.
We were in a large room with many fancy ornaments and people dressed in armor that looked like they were from the medieval age.
"Hello heroes. I welcome you to my humble palace. I plead you for your assistance. We need you strength to defeat the demon king that has waged war on us humans. Will you help us?"(Guy with beard and crown)
