Chapter 1: As expected, a ridiculous request

Ji Sub and I had been going home after basketball practice. We were talking about how the championship game was this upcoming Friday and how this would be our final high school game when I felt the space around distort. Thinking it was dangerous, I tried to move the both of us out of the space but it was too late. Feeling myself bring tugged, my surroundings became dark and I lost consciousness.

Feeling someone shaking me, I slowly start waking up. As my vision was coming back, I see Ji Sub above me.

"Hey man.... I know we're bros and all.... but you gotta give me some kind of notice... you should at least buy me dinner...."

Noticing the awkward position he was in, Ji Sub pushes me to the ground and gets up laughing.

"Well, looks like you didn't lose your sense of humor. Anyways, where are we?"

I begin studying our surroundings. We seemed to be some kind of chamber. The walls were formed with  stone, just as if we were in some kind of medieval fortress or castle in Europe. Even though the room was large, about 30 feet from one wall to the other, there wasn't much in the form of furniture except for the table that was beside the room's entrance. The only form of light coming into this room was through an open window at the far side of the room.

Being cautious, I start sending my mana outwards from my body, scanning the surroundings to see if there were any traps or somebody hiding their presence.

"So Soo Hyun, what kind of situation do you think this is?

".....I really hate to say this... but isn't this just like those settings in some of those Japanese light novels?"

"I was just thinking the same thing. We just need some people to come through the door and ask us to defeat the evil demon lord. Like we really got teleported to a different world ahaha"

"Haha yeah. Anyways how you feeling?"

"Actually... about that.... ever since I came to here in this room my body has been feeling a lot lighter..."

While we were talking and trying to figure out our situation, I suddenly felt multiple people enter the area where my mana was spread to outside the room.

"Yo, Soo Hyun, you hear that? Seems like people are coming finally. You should probably get ready just in case they're not exactly friendly..."

What the hell, he heard them?! They're still a hundred meters away!! The only reason I knee they were coming was because I had my mans spread out, acting as a detector. I know Ji Sub has always had better senses than the majority of people, but stilll... Anyways, I slowly raise my body, preparing an incantation. Even though I don't want to summon in front of Ji Sub.... I'm not going to risk his life just because of some secret...

Seventy five meters.....fifty meters .... ten... five... the people had finally reached the door. In total there was twelve.

"They're right outside, be ready Ji Sub..."

Creaking loudly as it was slowly opened, in the place where it had been, men dressed in armor start coming in. Being on guard, we both bend our knees so that we can spring into action at any time. The men were dressed in medieval plate armors thst you could see in museums, each holding in their hands a spear. As the men flowed into the room, they began taking positions by the wall.

The last person to enter the room was a young male, probably only a year or two older than us. He had long blonde hair to his chin, with it parting to the sides in the front. With his blue eyes and slim figure at 6'6, many girls would probably consider him the handsome type.

The clothing that he was wearing was very weird though. Even though it looked as if it was made out of expensive red cloth, the shoulder area was popping out like they were balloons underneath. His black pants went down to just under his knees, just like some cargo pants. The shoes he were wearing were made out of wood and had pointy ends. This was the first time I had seen such bizarre clothing fashion.

"+₩÷£$*@^! €÷ $&÷&$(?"

The guy was saying something in a foreign language that I couldn't understand. I had traveled around the world a few times and had heard many languages, but this was completely different from anything I had ever heard.

Noticing our confused faces, the man suddenly realize we couldn't understand him. Saying a few words, I feel mana gathering around him, putting me on alert. The magic's nature, however, seemed to be peaceful and it enveloped Ji Sub and I for a second before dissapating.

"Can you understand me now, gentlemen?"

It seems that the magic was something that translated language for us. Nodding our heads, the man continues on.

"Perfect. Well then gentlemen, I welcome you to the Kingdom of Shilla. I am the crown prince, Hwang Sung. Even though it was selfish of us, since we are in a dire situation, we teleported you to become the hero that saves us from the invasion of the demons that will occur. It, however, seems as if mistakingly someone else had been teleported here also..."

The way he said that last statement irked me. He was acting as if only one of us was needed and the other was just trash. During the prince's speech I had already begun putting two and two together and figured Ji Sub was the hero. The feeling of being lighter and the improvements in his senses could be attributed to him gaining special strength from becoming the hero.

"Gentlemen, if you don't mind please follow me. My father is waiting for you in the audience hall"

As we really didn't have a choice,we nod our head and follow the prince as he left the room. The guards exited the room after us and formed a circle around us. We proceeded in this formation walking in the same hallway for about five minutes before arriving at a large double door entrance. There was a guard on each side holding a large Halberd. Seeing us, both the guards open the door where someone was awaiting for us to announce our arrival.

"The crown prince Hwang Sung and the Hero"

The audience hall was quite extravagant. There were pillars every ten meters on each side of the red rug that led a path to the throne at the far end. Chandeliers were laid out in numerous locations throughout the ceiling so that the hall would be fully lighted Tapestries and displays of armor lined up both sides of the wall.

Men and women lined up both sides of the walkway, whispering as we walked up. These people were most likely nobles and high ranking officers. They were wearing very similar styles to what the prince had worn.

At the end of the walkway was two thrones where a man looking to be in his forties and a beautiful woman  in her thrities were seated. The king, seated on the left throne, had a regal sense of feel surrounding him. Even though his face had been chiseled by the times, it was still handsome with his short brunette hair that had gray poking up and hazel eyes. Even though he was in his forties, you could tell that the king still constantly trained as he had a well muscled stocky body.

Beside him, the queen was elegant. Her long blonde hair and blue eyes, along with the white dress she wore screamed class and exuded a very sexy feel. Her figure was still slim as evident by her small waist and skinny arms. Her bosom size was quite large for her body type....hmm in my estimates a lower D cup?..... wait what am I thinking about?! This isn't the time for this!

Stolen story; please report.

While I was inwardly berating myself, the king, in a thunderous voice welcomed us.

"Hero!! I welcome you to my kingdom of Shilla. I am the king, Jung Hwa Ryeong and beside me is my wife, the queen Angelina Jung. If you wouldn't mind, could you and your friend please introduce yourselves?"

"Hello, your majesty. My name is So Ji Sub. It is an honor to greet you"

" ....Yim Soo Hyun"

You could hear the small commotion coming from the side.

"How dare he address his majesty like that!!"

"The audicity!!"

The king, however, was unfazed and continued on.

"I know that summoning you to our world must have been quite a shock, but we are in desperate times. A new Demon Lord has arisen in our times. He is far stronger than any that came before him and has set his eyes on conquering our continent, creating the biggest crisis we have ever had in our long history. Hero!! Please assist us in our time of peril and lead our army to victory!"

....Oi... this situation is way too cliche.... I can't believe I've lived to hear those ridiculous words.... and did that old guy just ignore me? Feeling a vein pop up on my forehead, I step up and ask the king a question.

"Ummm, your majesty, may I ask you a question?"

The hall once again bursted in commotion at me daring to speak to the King without approval. Ignoring them, the King smiles at me and urges me to continue.

"Your majesty, let me just get everything straight. You summoned us, who had been living  a happy life back in our world with our families and friends, to fight against the strongest Demon Lord to ever exist while risking our lives for you and your continent who we have never met or seen?"

"...!!"

Hearing my question, the king puts on a shocked face that shortly turns into a difficult expression....please dont tell me you just realized what you did?....anyways I decide to put that thought aside and continue on.

"Your majesty I demand you send us back to our world. We're freaking eighteen years old! You are asking way too much of us!"

"....about that... we umm.... don't know how?"

"Ahhh?! So you summoned us to your world with no way back?!?! You got to be joking!!!"

We have no way of going back?! Screw that! I got family and many things I still need to do back on earth!

"We will have our mages find a way! So until then please assist us! If you do I promise we will return you back to your homes!"

....did he just threaten us saying if we didn't help we couldn't go back home? Ahhh..... I think I need to introduce this damn king to a special friend....While really contemplating about if I should, Ji Sub comes beside me and whispers.

"Hey Soo Hyun, being angry isn't going to get us anywhere. What can't be done can't be. We're just going to have do what they ask so that they're more inclined to send us back. Your father also used to always tell us when we were kids that the sword was used to protect those weaker than us"

"...Even though I doubt that my old man meant in situations like these, bleh whatever man, we'll go with what you said"

Sighing, I relent. Ji Sub gives me a pat on my right shoulder and then steps forward to address the king.

"Your majesty, we understand the situation. We will assist your army in defeating the demon; However do remember to keep your side of the bargain and find us a way back to our world"

Hearing that we would help out, the king's face immediately lit up in joy.

"Your sense of value is truly like those of the heroes of old. Thank you! I promise to find a method to send you two back. Please take tomorrow off as a day to adjust to the situation. Starting the day afterwards we will send instructors to assist in your training"

Saying that, the audience ended and we were now being guided to our room.

"So Soo Hyun, what you going to do tomorrow?"

"Probably head to the library and familiarize myself to this world. How about you?"

"That actually sounds like a good plan, I'll head there with ya"

While we were talking about our plans for tomorrow, I feel the presence of six people following behind us. Guessing what they wanted, I find an excuse to stay behind.

"Hey man, I left something in that chamber earlier so I'm going to go back and get it real quick. Go ahead and go to your room I'll see you at breakfast tomorrow"

"You sure man? I could go with ya"

"Naw, thanks for the offer but I'll be fine"

Parting with Ji Sub at the Pavillion area we were in, I meld into the shadows beside the patio and wait for our trailers.

I really didn't have to wait that long. Not even a minute after, six Soldiers geared in their armors appeared.

"Where did that brat go?! He was just with the hero"

"He couldn't have gone off anywhere too far, comb the area"

Seeing that my guess was correct, a smirk appears on my face as I step out of the shadow.

"Ah gentlemen, for what do I have the pleasure to be sought after by you fine men?"

Jumping at my sudden appearance from the shadows, my pursuers immediately go into a fighting position. Seeing that it was me, they slowly loosen up and one of them steps up.

"!!..Oi brat! You sure have some guts talking to our King like that. Since its the responsibility of seniors like us, we came to give you a "light" class on how to act"

"Hoo.... so you came to teach me, huh? But what do we do? Only people who are teaching stronger than the one who is to be taught are qualified to teach and I seriously doubt any of you match this requirement ....."

At my provocation, the Soldiers became agitated. Feeling that it was quite pathetic that they fell for something so simple, I decide to quickly in this situation and go to sleep.

"Haa... you all really aren't worthy of my attention. Let me call upon someone who might be more your guy's stength.

Thee, who eats the gods, appear. Come to my side and swallow all those foolish enough to challenge your master, Fenrir!"

As I completed the incantation, the area around me suddenly drops drastically in temperature. Slowly, the grass with me at the center, froze up due to the freezing temperature. Beside me, a shadow begun to materialize.  Seeing this, the Soldiers' faces paled as the figure of a white dire wolf appeared. Seeing the large figure, even though the temperature was freezing, sweat started forming on Soldiers brows.

Wanting to finish this quickly, I give Fenrir a command.

"Fenrir, take care of these folks but don't kill them okay?"

Hearing my command, Fenrir nods it's heads and slowly approach the Soldiers that awaited their already chosen fate.
