“Morning man, you find what you left at the chamber last night?”

“*yawn* yo~ yeah I did”

"You okay man? You look exhausted. Couldn't sleep?"

"...something like that.."

Cursing that damn Alela, I remember the events of last night.

After taking care of the trash, I had returned to my room and fell asleep. Thats when I heard the voice.

"Welcome, foreigner of a different world"

Opening my eyes at the sudden words, I notice my surroundings had changed. I was now in a dark empty space. Well... it would've been empty if not for her.

In the middle of the room was a tall young lady. She had long silver hair that reached the bottom of her shoulder that matched her stormy gray eyes. Her figure was slim with small bulges coming out from where her chest and butt was which was covered by a long white dress. She was quite the beauty truthfully. I would have mistaken her for a human if it wasn't for the silver aura that surrounded her.

"....who are you?"

"Oh I haven't introduced myself, huh? My name is Alela, the Goddess of the Moon for this world, champion of Artmeis"

Hearing those words, I immediately get into a defensive posture, becoming on guard. Seeing this, the young lady laughed and continued on.

"Ho Ho ho, you don't have to be so tensed. Artemis is like a big sister to me you know?"

"....How do you know her?"

"Deities that govern the same things have a link to each other. When I was a young goddess, Artemis took me under her wing and helped me out you know? I'm quite in her debts"

Hm... that's the first time I heard about this... well since I didn't even know the existence of different worlds, it's not really that surprising.

"I'm not really suppose to make contact with the races in our world, but I think we can make an exception for you. Anyways, Artemis went on quite the fury when you disappeared from Earth, you know? She finally calmed down when I told her what happened. After talking to her for a little bit, I convinced her after telling her that I'd watch over you to let you stay here for a little while so that I could receive your assistance"

"...And what exactly does a goddess need the help of a mortal like me for?"

"You know, my older relatives created everything in this world and have made a pact to let the world grow without any interference from us. I have, however, noticed that some of the other deities have begin meddling into the mortals affairs. I have begun investigating this but I can't directly interfere with the mortals so I need you to help from the mortal side. Please become my champion"

....Damn this is going to be a hassle. I can't even say no since she is close with my patron.... Sighing, I agree to help Alela.

"Haa... I don't think I really have a choice in this. I will become your champion for the duration of the time I am here"

"Thank you, Soo Hyun! As a mark for being under my protection, I will give you this"

Saying that, she stretches out a sword to me. Receiving it from her, I pull it out of the sheathe to inspect it. The sword was 4 ft. in length with a doubled edged leaf design. On the pommel of the sword, a etching of the moon was placed on a silver stone. Along the blade, a silver aura surrounded it.

"That is my own personal sword, Moonfang. The sword has my aura in it and can cut through anything, even deities so please handle it with care~"

"Thats quite the present, but don't you need this?"

"I'll be fine but you have to return it okay? Oh, it seems like I've taken too much of your time as it looks like you are starting to awaken. Remember, I'll be watching over you and protecting you from afar"

Saying that Alela disappeared and I had woke up.

Right now Ji Sub and I were in the dining hall. In front of us were a plate of something green that looked like egg and bacon. The green egg like thing was very similar to the eggs in our world except that they had a sweetness to them. It really wasn’t too bad. After gulping down our plates, a servant that had been placed in the hall to take care of our needs guided us to the Library.

The Royal Library was huge. There were rows after rows of bookshelves that reached the ceilings full with texts. Going to the lady who was behind the desk at the entrance, we tell her the books that we wanted.

Nodding her head, she went off for a while and returned with a stack of books to the table we were at. The books that the librarian had brought were A History of Excela, The Wars of Ages Past, and The Races of Excela, just to name a few. Choosing A History of Excela out of the stack, I begin reading.

The book explained how at the beginning, ten Gods and Goddesses had created the world thousands of years ago. Laea created land, Moshiva created the seas, and Aeria the sky. After being satisfied with their creations, the Gods had started creating the people of this world.

Asmas, the leader of the Gods, created the angels. The angels were created in the image of the gods with two made to serve each deity as their messenger. These beings were the closest of any of the races to the Gods and were given the most power. Even though they did not appear often, some of the Gods would sometimes send them out to relay a message or to execute a punishment.

Moshiva created the Undines. This species were elemental beings. Their bodies composed of water, they were governed over his beloved oceans. The Undines had absolute control over the manipulation of water in their realms and it was deemed suicidal to try to attack them in their territory.

Pyreon, the God of Fire, created the Paetheons. This race were large humanoid beings that stood at about 10’ ft tall. They were gifted with a excellent sense for fighting and seemed to excel at it compared to others. The Paetheons had been given the task of protecting the volcanoes and could usually be found near them. This race was the least populous among the other races.

Aeria created the Azuls, majestic birds that had high intelligence. The Azuls were the guardians of the skies. These Azuls were frequently seen flying over the territory they were given to govern, ensuring that their beloved Goddess’ creation was kept pure. Even though it hasn’t been verified, there was a rumor that Azuls had humanoid forms that they could shift change into.

Laea created the Elves. The Elves were given the duty of protecting nature and the lands. Laea blessed the Elves with extradionary earth magic and long lives so that they could conduct their duty. The Elven Kingdom was based in the West, but you could really see them anywhere as they spread apart to tend to the land’s needs.

Einseon, the God of Forging, created the Dwarves. These beings were of much shorter nature than the other races but made up for it with their enormous strengths. The Dwarves had been given the task of mining the earth’s treasures in the ground and been gifted with hands made for smithing. No one came close to the Dwarves when it came to the quality of their products. The Dwarves situated themselves in Mt. Kilmail, which was the border between the North and the rest of the Continent.

Esmod, the God of Animals, created the Werepeople. These Werepeople were humanoid beings that had features of a certain race. The Werepeople had various types of different beings and were known to be nomadic, spreading out all throughout the Continent in tribes. Esmod had given them the task to protect the animals from the other specials and were gifted with enhanced physical strength compared to the other races.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Paromus, the God of Chaos, created the demons. The Demons were created with a single purpose, spreading their master’s chaos through the whole world. They were given enhanced physical traits that surpassed even the werepeople and were gifted with dark magic. The Demons controlled the Northern portion of the continent, being cut off from the rest by Mt. Kilmail.

Ares, the God of War created the trolls. They were large humanoid beings that stood usually at 7' ft. on average. They had lean well muscled arms and legs that were made to be perfect for movements during battle. The trolls were a nomadic race that traveled around Mt. Kimail craving for battles and stronger foes.

And finally, Ismail, the Goddess of Knowledge had created the humans. Even though humans were not given any special traits like the other species, they were gifted with the thirst for knowledge. At first, the humans had been treated as lesser beings by the other races, but as the human race gained knowledge and learned about technology, they began to rise to become a dangerous foe with their quick advancements in technology and their larger growing population.

The Gods and Goddesses, satisified with their creations, had placed them on the continent Excela and made a pact to not interfere with them anymore.

At first, the nine species kept to their own areas and focused on just their tasks given to them by their creator. As hundreds of years went by, the races begin migrating to different areas and exploring, which finally led to interactions. At first, these interactions had been peaceful and it seemed as if all the races would get along, but then soon each race’s greed started coming into play as they eyed each other’s more numerous resources and land.

A thousand years after the creation of the world, wars began breaking out. The races now begun looking at the others with suspicion and doubt. The only times recorded in history when the races banded together was in invasions by the demons. During the first invasion, the demons had pushed so far into the continent and wreaked so muc havoc, that it took hundreds of years for the races and the land to recover.

Hm... the history of this world is pretty interesting. There’s quite a few different races too. It looks like it’ll be interesting meeting with them. While having such thoughts, I close the History of Excela and go on to the next book. Ji Sub and I stayed in the Library for about 4 hours studying up on the history and the specific races before heading back to the dining hall to grab some dinner.

“So what you think about this world Ji Sub ah?”

“Truthfully, it feels like some kind of RPG haha. The many different types of races do interest me though”

“Yeah, I wanna see all of them at least once before we leave. Think it’ll be cool haha~”

As we were talking, a messenger came to see us in the dining hall with a message.

“Gentlemen, the King expresses his wish for the both of you to come to the audience hall tomorrow at noon. Embassadors from the Elves and Dwarves have come and request your presence. We will have servants prepare clothes for you and guide you tomorrow”

Saying that, the messenger left.

“Well.. it looks like you're getting your wish granted pretty quickly Soo Hyun”

"Yeah, no kidding. I wonder how they got here so quickly after we were summoned. From what I saw at the library, it looked like it would take at least a month worth of travel for either races to get here unless they have a means of transportation we don't know...."

"Let me answer that question for you gentlemen"

Suddenly hearing a voice from behind us, we both turn. Behind us stood General Kaizer. When the General first saw me his eyebrows flinched but like a professional Soldier he kept his facial expression stern. Ho...even after seeing last night he can keep his face straight huh? As expected from a seasoned veteran.

"During the last demon invasion, the races noticed that it took too long to gather for a meeting. Gathering their mages, they were able to create a teleportation circle in the capital of each Kingdom that let a small envoy from each race to travel swiftly. The Elves and Dwarves are the two races that have decided to send embassadors to see the new summoned hero"

"Hoo.... that's quite a convenient type of magic"

"So what do these embassadors want from Soo Hyun and I?"

"I believe they have come to test your abilities. Please prepare tonight as tomorrow there will be a spar to test your abilities. Our King is also very interested in seeing both your talents so please don't disappoint him.I came here just to tell you that. Well then, I will see you both tomorrow"

Saying that, he bowed and left the dining hall.

"....well its not too suprising that they would want to see how strong we are. What you think about tomorrow Soo Hyun?"

"Bleh... I still don't like it"

"Why?"

"....it's too much of a hassle...."

"....Haaa even though we came here you still haven't changed a bit huh"

Shaking his head, we both stand up and head back to our room to rest for the day.

The next morning when I woke up, I saw that a fresh set up of clothes and a water basin had been set up for me. Washing myself and putting on the clothes, I waited until the servant came to pick me up.

Inside the audience hall, the King was already greeting the embassadors as we walked in. There were three representatives for both races. The elves had two men and one beautiful lady in attendance.

On the lef side, the Dwarves, as you might already guess were quite short and were pretty round in body shape. The beards that each of them had were long enough to tuck into their pants which was pretty funny looking. All three embassadors wore extravagant armors with exquistr designs on them, showing off their racial traits.

On the other side of the hallf stood the elves. The elves had slim, tall figures that were covered in clothes that had a feeling of a serene forest. The mixture of brown and green seemed as if they were in a forest, they could eadily blend in. Both males had long blonde hair that reached their backs with hazel eyes that seemed to be sharp. I really didn't pay too much attention to them as the lady took my attention.

She was stunning. She had a slim figure that had a small waist while her bosom was about the c cup range. Her figure was very bewitching and instantly charmed me.

While I was mesmerized by the elf, the king began introducing us.

"Well embassadors, let me begin the introductions. On the left is the hero So Ji Sub and beside him is his friend Kim Soo Hyun. As both the elves and Dwarves have requested, we will have a demonstration of their powers to verify their strengths. Now if you follow me, I will lead us all to the grounds."

Standing up, the king begins walking to the entrance. The Dwarves followed him, forming into a file and falling in behind. Next, the elves started to walk out. As the elf girl was about the exit, she looks straight back at me and winks.

Ahhh.... I think I might have fallen in love. While thinking that, Ji Sub and I exit the room also and head to the grounds.
