With the hazy yellow light of the sun shining through the windows of the modern Japanese school, a black haired boy sleeps soundlessly in an empty room with his head on a desk. A group of 3 girls suddenly open the door with a loud *BANG*, making the boy open his eyes instantly and slowly raise his head. He glanced at them, before leaning back in his chair and tilting his head to look at the window, closing his eyes a moment later. The 3 girls walked over to him with condescending looks in their eyes and smirks plastered on their faces. Stopping in front of the desk of the black haired boy, the blond girl in front started to speak.
"Hey Amino, you damned cheat, there's no way someone like you could get those perfect scores, and on all of the subjects at that. Tell us how you did it and we won't whoop your ass." The blond spoke with a condescending tone mixed with mockery, ensued with a hand slamming on the boy's desk. Amino, the black haired boy, opened his eyes slowly while turning his head to look at them. A pair of eyes that were nearly pitch black stared emotionlessly at the blond in front, making her retract her hand with a slight tremble. His black eyes skimmed over them for 20 seconds without blinking, before he spoke in a deep voice.
"It's called studying you delinquent. Now go away and stop bothering me." The black haired boy closed his eyes and turned his head back toward window, as the blond girls in front finally caught up with what he said. Her smirk turned into a slightly crazy smile, and her eyes widened with anger. She wound her arm up, before throwing it right at the right side of the boy's face.
"You're to slow." A deep voice comes from the black haired boy as he leans forward and turns to his right, facing the blond girl with his black eyes. Her fist connected to the back of the chair and she yelped in pain, pulling back a second later, only to meet the abyssal black eyes of the boy she called a 'cheat'. Taking a step back, she stumbled into the 2 surprised girls behind her. They caught her, and she stood up, just as the boy took a stand. He took a step forward, and leaned close to her, close enough to feel each others breaths, before speaking with slight animosity.
"I advise you to change your path, and state of mind. Also, piss off and don't annoy me again." A fear stricken expression landed on the blonde's face, as she looked directly into the abyssal eyes of the boy. She then took an unconscious step back, as did the girls behind her, before they all scrambled out of the classroom. The boy looked at the opened door of the classroom, and brought a hand up into his vision, making a loose fist afterward.
'These people are annoying, but I'll have to deal with stupid people like this in the future as I life on and climb the ladder of humanity.' A thought passed through the boy's mind as he let his hand drop to his side. He looked out the window and into sky for one more time, before grabbing his bag and slowly walking out of the classroom. However, as he approached the doorway, a blinding white light erupted from the ground and swallowed him in an instant.
.
*Shoo* The light cleared up almost as fast as it appeared, making a wind like sound as it faded away. Amino brought his hand down from his face and looked around, assessing the situation and trying to clear the slight dizziness clouding his head. The first thing he noticed was the intricate and high walls, like that of a castle or church, then the picture on the ceiling that show a bright blonde woman handing a golden apple to a kneeling man.
His eyes shifted down as the hazy feeling in his head went away. A young woman with light brown hair who looks only a little older than himself stood in front of him wearing garbs similar to that of a priest or priestess. With her azure blue eyes radiating joy and happy smile on her face, she spoke down to him who was on the floor.
Stolen novel; please report.
"Welcome Hero! This is the kingdom of Laurus on the Hyugen continent! Our world of Yulnas is in peril from the 7 demon kings of sin, we ask you to please defeat the 7 demon kings whom continue to ensue chaos! To start your mission as the hero of our world, please use the goddess's blessing to grow stronger and save us all!" Her beaming face continued to grow as she carried on about the topic of the demon kings and the hero. The black haired boy simply sat there on his but with a arm behind him, as he listened on with slightly interested eyes.
"In order to use the blessing of the goddess, please say or think the word 'status'! Once you open the status, you should be able to see all of your current abilities and information! Also, with the blessing of the goddess, a hero can grow stronger by killing monsters and learning other things faster than the normal person!" The azure eyed priestess continued on with enthusiasm, as she gave instructions and information on this blessing that the boy apparently received from a goddess.
'I just got an unfamiliar sense of déjà vu. Oh well, status.' After Amino thought this, a light blue screen, like that of modern RPG games appeared in his vision.

'Hmm, it truly reminds me of video games, it seems this goddess knows that we come from a world that has these things and uses this blessing to make the hero's job easier. But, that means that there were more before me, more heroes. Well anyway, pretty sure inventory is just a spatial space that I can put things in, and appraisal just lets me know the statuses of others.' Amino thought this as he finally got off the ground and to his feet. He was still in his school uniform so that meant that he was transported somehow, instead of dying and reincarnating.
The priestess, who had just gotten done with her introduction of this world and Amino's new abilities motioned for him to follow her, and he did. She led him out of the large room that was similar to an empty chapel, then they walked down castle hallways before reaching a wide and tall set of doors.
"His highness is awaiting you in the throne room Sir Hero." The priestess, whom was guiding Amino throughout the castle had stopped in front of the large dual doors, before she spoke in respect, and left. As she left, the two large doors opened inward, allowing Amino to walk forward into the throne room. The first thing he saw when he walked in was a wide red carpet with tassels off to the side, along with a massive gold chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
A row of knights of each side of the carpet adorned in medieval armor held swords pointed to the ground, as they stood motionless, seemingly waiting for an order. Thick round pillars with golden men holding up the ceiling were displayed, the god Atlas came to mind when Amino saw this, but he paid it no heed, as he had a king who needed to be bowed to. Stopping about 30 feet from the throne, Amino did a regal and noble bow, as he spoke respectfully toward the king.
"I, the Hero, greet his Highness." Amino spoke with sincerity and emotionlessness, inciting a loud roaring laugh from the king whom he's yet to set his eyes on. He slowly brought his head and body up straight, then observed whomever was on the throne. Amino then saw the silver-ish gold throne, and the man who sat on it.
He was a large and tall man, muscular beyond compare, and he had shoulder length bright blond hair that was held back by the gold crown atop his head. He sat in a laid back way with an elbow on one arm of the throne that connected to his chiseled jaw, along with dark blue eyes that looked as deep as the sea.
Currently though, he was laughing hardily with one of his tough hands on his chest. He quieted down quite quickly though, making Amino release an breath that he was unconsciously holding in. As soon as he'd seen him, he had activated the appraisal skill that had came with the status screen, and what Amino saw made him breathe in a breath of cold air.

The king of Laurus had stopped laughing and sported a serious face a moment after, as he stood up off his throne and started to speak.
