It was a beautiful day, the sky was clear, and everything was very quiet, you could hear the breeze move the branches of the trees, and the flow of the water in a river.
Very close to the river, a young man with a slender body, blue hair, glasses, and feline ears, was walking quietly towards the nearest town. Everything was fine until he sees on the floor a person wearing strange black clothes, the young man at first didn't pay much attention, but the more he moved away the more worried he was getting.
After thinking for a few seconds he decided to verify whether the person in question was alive or not, he walked back slowly, then bent to see the person on the ground. To his surprise, the unconscious person was a young man with black hair, beautiful facial features, and lenses. This mysterious person wasn't hurt and didn't even have dirt in his body or his clothes.
- "Eyes of Truth?", this child must be a magician" The young man thought aloud, then continued to observe the subject on the ground.
- "Hmm... How strange, I cannot see any hint of a quarrel or any wound" taking his decision, he got closer to the body so he could see better and then began to touch the person's clothes, without noticing anything else, soon the young man on the ground began to react as he was feeling that he was being touched, and little by little began to open his eyes.
- "such weird clothes, I wonder where this guy comes from..." the blue-haired guy suddenly realized that the subject on the floor was awake and looking straight into his eyes. The young man still touching his body, got a little nervous and took his hands away.
- "I'm sorry, my curiosity won and I couldn't resist touching you... huh... I mean, touching your clothes" he said quite nervously, however, the young man who had just woken up didn't answer, only continued to look at him.
- "Hmm... is there something wrong?" he said nervously, at that moment he noticed that the young man hands rise a little and mover in his direction. Not knowing what to do, he just stays still, he thought he would be beaten for touching someone's unconscious body, but instead, he started stroking his ears.
- "Are these cat ears? they feel just like the ears of a cat" indicated the young man quietly while still lying down. The face of the blue-haired boy got a Little Red, and his body slightly trembled.
- "These... are not... cat ears! they are lion ears! how dare you compare me to a simple cat?" rising quickly, quite exalted. The young man who was still on the ground, rose quietly, began to tap his clothes to wipe off the dust, and he just said.
- "It's a shame, I really like cats" putting a slightly weak smile. The blue-haired man looked at him with some surprise for the answer.
- "Idiot..." he said quietly, then gave him a second glance.
- "He's taller than me..." murmured to himself the blue-haired guy, while the black-haired young man only looked everywhere, unable to recognize anything.
- "Excuse me, could you tell me where I am? I think I'm lost" he said quite calmly, but the other boy was surprised by the question.
- "We are in a river, near "Shield-town", in the country of "Liberteas", why do you ask?".
- "Hmm... yeah, I'm definitely lost..." said the black-haired guy with a nervous smile, however, the other boy just looked at him with a stunned expression, he didn't know if the person in front of him had hit his head or something, but he certainly didn't seem normal.
- "Perhaps he misused a teleportation spell..." murmured the blue-haired guy.
- "Well since you're well, there's no reason to stay here any longer, so I'll keep going" he said before turning around and starting to leave, but the black-haired boy stopped him.
- "Wait! where is the town you named before?".
- "Just walk in the same direction I'm going now, you will be able to see it later".
- "Thank you very much, I hope we see again, my name is Feran by the way" Feran approached the young man and stretched his hand, the young man simply looks at Feran's hand for a few seconds and then shook his hand.
- "My name is "Liger", and I really hope I never see you again" said with an innocent smile, Feran just smiled.
- "hahaha, well, in that case, I won't stop you here anymore, goodbye" Liger just nodded and proceeded to leave. Feran observed while Liger was leaving. after waiting for Liger to be far enough, he turned towards the river and proceeded to give a big cry.
- "AAAAAAAH!!!"
- "Idiot" was everything Liger said as he managed to hear it the scream at a great distance.
Feran on his side was trying to think of everything.
- "What the hell happened? How did I even get here? Come on, think..." he said while tapping his head slightly, at that moment he remembers how a strange giant "door" appeared in his schoolyard, and how several of his classmates began to shine and finally the blinding light.
- "Obviously I am no longer on earth, this must be another world... seriously? fuuu...I must have arrived here because of that "door". I remember at least 9 people other than me who were shining, perhaps... they ended up here too? Although I can't see anyone else in the surroundings… hmm…" he was trying to organize his ideas, then he looked up and that is when he saw some people flying and some giant kind of bird fleeing away from them.
- "What kind of place is this?" He said to himself.
- "I must go to town. If any of my classmates happened to have appeared nearby, surely they went to the town" and with that thought, he started moving in the direction of the "Shield-town".
Meanwhile in a huge castle.
Alexander was on the ground, he slowly began to regain consciousness and opened his eyes, then got up slowly, observing everything around him, he was in a huge courtyard in the middle of a castle, surrounded by soldiers, "he has blond hair, that means he is a hero" muttered one of the soldiers, "great is his majesty who has invoked a powerful hero", "think that if this is just one of the heroes, how will the rest be?" Those were just some of the comments that Alexander could hear.
Alexander did not like the murmurs of the soldiers at all.
- "Silence! if you have something to say about me, say it face to face, but do not waste your breath murmuring about me" even in such a situation, Alexander kept that aura that made him look so different from normal people as if he were royalty.
Then an old man, tall enough, with black hair and blond tips, light armor, and clothes filled with gold and diamonds, slowly approached Alexander.
Alexander seeing the old man, felt an aura quite similar to his grandfather, an air of greatness, power, wisdom, for Alexander it was obvious to say that this man was the king of the place where he was.
- "Welcome to my humble castle young hero" said the old man with a smile.
- "Thank you very much, Your Majesty" he said quietly, impressing the king.
- "hahaha, you seem to be quite polite, on the other hand, wouldn't it be normal to ask where you are first?".
- "I don't think it’s necessary, after all, if they were really hostile I would already be in trouble, but since that doesn’t seem to be the case, I suspect that you or one of your men would inform me of the situation in which I find myself" affirmed Alexander quite confident.
- "Hahaha, I really like you boy, you have guts" replied the king after watching Alexander for a few seconds.
- "Soldiers, greet the young hero in front of you" all the soldiers bowed to Alexander, the only people who didn’t were the knights of higher ranks and the children of the king who watched the scene from behind.
- "Quick, prepare a large amount of food, today the young hero will have dinner with me and my family" said the old man.
Some servants who were nearby bowed their heads and retired to prepare everything for dinner.
- "It is an honor, your majesty, I suppose at dinner I will be made aware of my situation" the king just nodded and began to walk in the direction of his children and some knights.
- "You will also accompany us" the old man told 3 knights who were close to the children of the king, the knights only nodded. As the king retired, a servant approached Alexander, bowed and said.
- "Please follow me, young hero, we have prepared your room for you to see while waiting for dinner time" Alexander took a last look around, nodded and followed the servant.
At the same time in another place.
In a huge room of wood, in a huge bed, there was a beautiful woman with red hair, which was regaining consciousness, at his side, a woman with long silver hair and some red hair.
- "I'm glad you woke up, are you okay?" Asked the mysterious woman.
The young woman, somewhat confused, began to look around her, altered due to the situation.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
- "where am I?".
- "Do not worry, you are safe here, you are in "Seed-city", I am "Elemeria", everything will be fine now" the woman looked into the eyes of the girl in bed, with a warm smile, while she gently touched her face.
- "What is your name?".
- "Uriel, my name is Uriel" she said quietly, the girl did not know why, but the presence of Elemeria made her feel calm, at peace, safe.
After a few seconds just looking into each other eyes with Elemeria, Uriel remembered the events before his awakening.
- "Wait a moment, where is the rest? Where are Trish, Seiras, and Julie?" she asks with obvious concern.
- "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you were the only one to be teleported to this place, your friends surely appeared in other areas of this country".
- "Teleported? What exactly happened? What was that giant "door"? Why am I here?" she asks this time with a determined look, after a few seconds observing her, Elemeria just sighed and began to explain.
- "Well, first of all, that giant "door" you're talking about, I'm sure it was "The Divine Gate" used to summon "the world heroes" and the reason you're here, and for which you and your friends were summoned in this world, was to fulfill the ambition of the human king" Uriel remained serious while listening to the words of Elemeria.
After listening to what she said, she thought a little and decided to speak.
- "You are not human?".
- "Neither I nor anyone in this city is human, we are "the guardians of life and nature", ancient warriors who are connected to the earth, and we have been blessed by the gods with long life and prosperity" Uriel just nodded.
- "What about the human king? What did you mean by his ambition?" she asked seriously.
- "the king of humans is currently in a war against other species, although at the moment the war is in a ceasefire, yet very soon the war could be resumed, so the king used this opportunity to invoke you, the world heroes, the ones who can fight for him and his ambition, however, this war is only the beginning, once the war is over, it is most likely that the king will use you for a "preventive war" against the demons, a race almost as old as the world itself. normally the level of power of humans is much lower than that of the "demons", that is why he invoked you... and I mean his ambition, because the king knows that if humans manage to defeat the "demons", then they will have control not only over the largest extension of the continent but their power will be enough to spread to other countries".
Uriel was somewhat worried, although she didn’t know anything about this new world, she was able to understand the situation that Elemeria talked about, of course, her biggest concern was her companions, and the decisions they would take.
Back at the castle.
Alexander had been touring the castle for several minutes although he had been instructed to stay in the room, Alexander usually didn’t obey anyone, besides he had grown bored of waiting in the room.
After walking for several minutes, without realizing it, he returned right to the huge courtyard in which he was when he arrived at this "new world". The first time he was in the courtyard, the place was full of soldiers, so he could not fully observe the place.
After taking a second look, much more meticulous, he realized that in that same courtyard, there was a huge fountain, he thought it was a simple fountain for birds, but at the moment he was about to touch the fountain, someone else arrives at the place.
- "I see you could not avoid leaving your room" the person who had come to the courtyard was the king, who seemed to know that Alexander was there.
- "I'm sorry, I'm usually a patient person, however, this place is not exactly familiar to me, is it?" He said with a serious tone, which presented no challenge, but neither did it seem docile.
- "Hahaha, I see, it's true, you do not know this place nor its people, it's normal to be on guard in a situation like this, especially because I have not yet explained what is happening" the old man just caressed his Beard carefully, as he approached Alexander.
- "I think it's time to tell me what is happening, why am I here?" Alexander said, looking into the eyes of the king, while a smile appeared on the old man's face.
- "Of course, first of all, you must know that you have not been summoned to this world with an insignificant purpose, your reason to be here is to save this world..." said the old man seriously, but Alexander didn't even flinch in the slightest at the words of the old man.
- "You seem quite calm, others in your place would have lost their heads".
- "others are not me" just that was Alexander's response, the king had a big smile on his face, he didn't understand why, but Alexander's way of being was quite interesting to him, the young man in front of him, had a certain aura that reminded him of the times of his youth, someone strong, someone with his head held high, who knew his place in the world.
-"Is there anything you want to know?"
- "You only told me that I came here to save the world, I hope you explain... how did I get here? and what do I have to save you from? "
- "hmm... you have arrived here because we teleported you through" The Divine Gate", which is an “arcane dimensional magic” left in this world by “God” itself. we use this magic intending to invoke "the world heroes" in times of crisis, and we need your help with our endless battle, against the "Beastiale" and the demons".
- "I see... if you say "the world heroes", then there must be more like me who were transported, however, I was alone when I opened my eyes and I have not seen anyone else, if I take into consideration the fact that before appearing here I was in my world among a crowd of students, and when my body began to shine, I managed to see a few more that shone as I did, with that I can assume that those who shine near this "Gate" were the ones teleported here, and since I am the only one here, surely we all appeared in different places" the king was somewhat impressed by Alexander's quick reasoning.
- "That's right, in fact, this fountain can be used to search for the "heroes" in this world, we just need to use location magic in the fountain, and it locates the 10 "heroes" that have been summoned" at that moment, the king snaps his fingers, and the water of the fountain begins to show the country of "Liberteas" from above, and 10 bright spots.
- "As you can see, we use this fountain to locate the "heroes" when they arrive in this world, and then we gather them, the only problem is that we can not know the exact location or what kind of things they are doing, but at least we are capable to see the approximate area in which they are located, for example here you are, this is your location" indicated the old man while pointing to the area of the world where there was a bright light, which was located in the center of a huge city.
- "And what about these points that are in motion?" Pointing to 5 bright spots shown in the fountain.
- "those points are the chosen ones that have already been found by the soldiers and are being brought to this place, I am sure that at least 2 of them will arrive here for the time of dinner" said the king just before turning around and leaving the courtyard, while Alexander kept watching the fountain, and likewise, observing "the new world".
Meanwhile in a nearby town.
In the plaza of a town, there was a great scandal. Hayato was moving stealthily among the crowd, he was wearing a huge cloak which covered his face. Hayato had been awake for a couple of hours, and now he was exploring the area and gathering information.
- "What do you think you’re doing? You trash" Hayato heard a very familiar voice, which came from the place where the crowd was gathered. as Hayato approached carefully, he is surprised to see that the crowd is looking at a group of 4 people, 3 of them were quite tall and armed with a sword, a spear, and a bow respectively, and the last person was no other than his friend Ryu.
- "Listen to me you little bastard, you better apologize for dirtying my clothes, or else, you will be punished..." said the young man with the bow with an arrogant tone.
- "tch... as if I would apologize to an idiot like you. You hit me first and started to bother me for the clothes I'm wearing, I just pushed you because you are a bothersome piece of trash" said Ryu quite calmly, all the people watching them seemed somewhat frightened and at the same time surprised, while the 3 guys in front of Ryu were quite upset. Hayato only laughed lightly when he heard the words of his friend.
- "How dare you to speak to Sir André like that? Don't you know that he is the son of a prestigious military family? His father and brothers are lieutenants of the "Liberteas" army, and his grandfather used to be a colonel of the army" said a young guy with his sword pointed at Ryu
- "tch... as if I would care about his family. I don't care who they are, what they have done, or where do they come from, I only care for your strength and willpower, you arrogant bastards, do not get in my way if you don't have the strength to do it" said Ryu with conviction, meanwhile André looked at him with confusion and annoyance.
That was it, at that moment Hayato knew, that it was time to fight, and just the idea of it brought a smile to his face.
The tension in the place was rising, Ryu only stayed calm in front of 3 hostile people, while Hayato was getting ready to interfere and help his friend.
- “so you don’t have anything to say, huh? well, I’m not even surprised, you weak trash” Ryu now had a mocking smile on his face, which only served to increase the anger of the people in front of him.
- "Shut up you miserable bastard!!!" This time the scream came from the young man with the spear, who then rushed against Ryu, who, in turn, took a combat stance, ready to evade the attack, however, when the Spear was only 3 steps away from touching Ryu, Hayato gave him a quick kick in the head of the young man with the spear, to the surprise of everyone, especially Ryu.
- "It seems like you can't be alone even for 5 minutes without getting into trouble, isn’t? Ryu..." Hayato looked at Ryu with a smile, which was reciprocal.
- "Hahaha, you bastard, you are just in time to beat up these trash" Ryu started showing even more confidence and a defiant gaze.
- "How dare you attack one of my men?" André is about to shoot an arrow at Hayato but he disappears.
- "Hayato? Where are you?" Everyone was shocked to see the young man disappear, especially Ryu.
- "Boss, that's the "stealth" skill of the "thieves", that young man must be at least level 15 if he is already capable of using it" the young man with the sword indicated with a scared tone, while the young man with the spear was getting up.
- "Boss, we should go, for now, we are only level 12 and you are only level 15, from the "base stage", if this guy who is disarmed is even level 20, then we have no chance of winning" said the guy with the spear, while keeping his guard up and looking everywhere.
- "You shouldn't lose your focus!" Ryu said before giving a very fast blow to the guy with the spear, a blow that he gave from about a meter away, to his surprise and that of the others.
- "Wh... what? Is this little bastard a "brawler"? damn it!" André said in a trembling voice, which indicated that he was scared of Ryu, André even prepared to retreat little by little.
- "Boss, that skill is "accurate fist", it’s a level 25 skill..." said the guy with the sword while trembling with fear. André could not believe what he was hearing, after one last look at Ryu, André turned around and proceeded to try to escape, however, someone kicked him, throwing him back and down to the ground.
- "I will not let you escape" said Hayato who had appeared behind André.
Just as the sword guy tried to attack Hayato desperately, Ryu quickly jumped up and, just like before, his "accurate fist" let him hit the back of the head of his enemy from the distance while Hayato proceeded to give a quick kick in the area of his legs, causing the young man with the sword to lose his balance and fell with his face straight to the ground, leaving him unconscious.
- "Wait! sorry!!! I didn't know that both of you were of such high levels, if you let me go, I will give you money to buy equipment or something to eat, even disappear from the village if you wish it" André said on the floor, hoping that the two young guys would forgive him this time, right now he was scared and very nervous.
For Ryu this young man was pathetic, and Hayato, who is normally calm, was angry with him, how is it that someone without the necessary strength or even courage to fight had dared to bother them?
- "don't believe you will get rid of this so easily, you dared to bother my "brother", so the beating will be the last thing you should worry about" said Hayato preparing his fists.
- "On the other hand, it wasn't as if from the beginning I didn't intend to take your money, as you said, I can use it to buy something to eat, and at this moment, I'm very hungry" Ryu gave a dark smile to the guy, he really had been irritated by André's behavior.
André, on the other hand, retreated little by little, looking with fear at the 2 boys who approached him slowly to hit him, then he gave a slight look with tearful eyes to the people around them, however, the people were very scared to do something, not to mention all of the people that André had bothered previously. Ryu and Hayato had no intention of killing him, killing wasn't a known concept for them after all, but André did not know it, so finally, Ryu and Hayato hit him.
That day, André and his friends learned an important lesson about messing with random people, on the other hand, the people of the city have never seen such brutal punishment giving to André before, some felt bad for him and believed that the punishment was too much, while others enjoyed watching the mysterious kids punish the brat that was always bothering them, in any case, they saw something that they would never forget.
