It was a rainy afternoon. Everyone was listening to the teacher despite the sound of the rain. However, the student who was seated at the back most seat near the window was looking outside.
[Mr. Anathan, please read the next paragraph.] A young woman who seemed to be the teacher told him.
Anathan didn't notice the teacher until she raised her voice.
[MR. ANATHAN ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?]
Anathan was startled and stood up. He scratched his head and bowed.
[Sorry Ms. Rein, I wasn't paying attention.]
Everyone laughed. The teacher repremanded him. She also scolded the class for laughing at him.
Anathan was the silent type of a person. He doesn't excel in academics and sports. His build was a little below your normal highschool student. He rarely talks with others that is why he is either ignored in class or get bullied.
The bell rang and Ms. Rein was about to dismiss her class when suddenly the rain fell harder, thunders roared and the lights went out.
When the lights came back they noticed that they weren't inside their classroom anymore.
They were inside a huge hall. One would notice that this hall is like the ones you see in olden times. Chandeliers light the room instead of bulbs. There are also stones that are emitting light attached to the walls.
Everyone wondered. Some of them panicked. Ms. Rein who was the only adult there tried to calm them down.
Anathan looked around and when he looked at the ground he saw weird symbols. Beneath his feet were markings of the famous magic circles that can be found in anime and dramas.
Anathan is a big fan of anime and is a gamer who is quite known in the internet. He realized that this scene is too familiar. This scene is something that he has watched, summoning in another world.
A door opened. Five people came inside the hall. Anathan looked at them. One was a middle-aged man who was wearing a crown. One was an old man who was holding a sort of a walking stick. Two of them were dressed like medieval soldiers. Both of them have sword at their waist. The last was a young lady who has long blonde hair wearing a small tiara and a dress.
[Welcome brave heroes from another world!] The man wearing a crown wore a happy expression ad he greeted us.
Ms. Rein who is the only adult with us bravely asked, [Excuse me but where are we?]
[I am the king of the Kingdom of Crux, Rometheus Al Crux, we have summoned you here to ask for help in killing the Demon King.]
The students looked at each other. Isn't that dangerous? Was written in their faces.
[Killing the Demon King?]
The old man with a walking stick then stepped up and explained to the class what happened.
To summarize everything, this world is currently being conquered by someone called "Demon King." He has an army of demons and monsters. There are different races in this world which is divided into 3 major kinds, the Humans, Demis, and the Demons. Humans are those who have pure bloodline. Demis are the halfhumans or the so called half beasts. Elves and dwarves are also under this classification. The third are the demons, those who are corrupted and are blessed by the power of the Evil God. It was peaceful but the demons started to invade 1 year ago. The princess who is blessed by the God of Fortune received an oracle that told her that we would save their world.
Ms. Rein rejected them at first but they told her that her students can't go back to their world unless they killed the Demon King.
[Please help us save our world.] The princess bowed her head to everyone and pleaded. Tears came out from her eyes.
[I think we should help them.] A male student told the teacher.
[We can't leave them like this right Ms. Rein?] The students seconded.
After some push the teacher finally agreed. The 5 people who summoned them bowed and thanked them for accepting their selfish request.
The king then guided them out of the hall and went to the throne room. The king and the princess sat at their thrones.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
[Bring the magic bags and give them to the heroes.] The king ordered his attendant
After a while, servants then came and distributed a bag to each of us.
[Heroes please open the bag.] Gottfried, the old man who is carrying a walking stick told the heroes. Gottfried is the chancellor of the castle.
The class, who are now heroes l opened it. Anathan also opened, as soon as he opened a list suddenly appeared on his mind.
[This is a magic bag. It can store anything up to 10 different things regardless of the size, amount and weight. The bags we gave you contain a magicite, 5 gold coins, and a Personal Identification Card or also known as PID] King Crux explained as he demonstrated an example of getting the items out of a magic bag on his hands.
Everyone was excited and retrieved the items in the bag. They looked at the items that were given to them. The magicite was a small diamond-shaped gem that was almost transparent. The king explained that the magicite is a blessing that came from the goddess and everyone in the kingdom is given a magicite when they reach 10 years of age. It grants its user the power to unleash his/her potential. The gold coins are considered as the currency in this world. 1 gold coin is equivalent to 1000 silver coins and a silver coin is worth 100 copper coins. The PID is the same as the ID in Earth. It displays the personal details of the owner. The details contain the level of the owner and also their abilities and stats. However, the owner may hide these details, in short only the name and affiliation cannot be hidden.
Anathan took the PID outside the bag. It was a blank card but a suddenly it glowed and text suddenly appeared in his card.
Name: Anathan
Race: Hi-human
Level:1
PAtk: E
PDef: E
MAtk: E
MDef: E
Spd: E
Luck: S
Abilities:
N/A
Anathan was shocked when his status appeared. If he were to compare it to a game, E is the lowest stat that you'll gain while S is the highest.
Well, I just started. I think I have the same stats as everyone. He comforted himself but as soon as he asked the one of his classmates...
[Ana, I got D in my PAtk and PDef but B in my MAtk and MDef. Also my Spd is D and so is my Luck.] Erina answered to Anathan's question.
Erina is one of his classmates. She is a little taller than Anathan and has long black hair. Her looks is good and is considered as one of the beauties in school. Anathan was able to ask her since they have been classmates since elementary.
His other classmates were excited and talked about their stats. After a while, Anathan learned that his stats were considered the lowest, except for his luck. William who is a famous guy in school got the highest stats. He excelled in both academics and sports. The complete opposite of Anathan.
Name: William
Race Hi-human
Level:1
PAtk: A
PDef: B
MAtk: A
MDef: B
Spd: A
Luck: B
Abilities:
Blessing of the Holy Goddess
Everyone praised him when they learned about his stats. Even the king looked very happy. After the commotion, the king demonstrated how to activate the magicite. When he used his magicite a sword appeared. Apparently, the item that appears depend on the user.
William got excited, after learning he has the highest stats he proceeded to activate his magicite. Light blinded all of us in the room and when it vanished William was wearing a high class armor equipped with a shining silver sword and a silver shield.
[The holy knight... It is the armor and weapon of the holy knight in the legends.] the king exclaimed as he saw the outstanding scene in front of him.
The other heroes then activated their magicites. Some got swords, the others got huge shields. A few got staffs and wands. You can also see others who received spears and axes. Everyone got a weapon from the magicite except for one, Anathan.
When Anathan saw what William got from his magicite, he became excited and activated his. However, the thing that came out from his magicite was an old book. When the king and his men saw this they were disappointed.
[A failure huh....] His majesty murmured and only he can hear himself.
In this world there are many items that form from the magicite. These items are called "armaments" or arms in common terms. Arms are the very form of the owner's potential. Some arms eventually change when the owner improves. Same is true when the owner deteriorates. Having a weapon as an arm is a symbol of power. In this society, arms determine the occupation of the person. For example, a person who has a staff or a wand as an arm becomes a mage while a person who has a hammer arm becomes either a blacksmith or a carpenter. This exempts the royal family since their bloodline is blessed by the goddess to be the leaders of the kingdom. In the case of Hiro, the king and his men see him only as a potential scribe or librarian which is useless in battle.
[A book? Is this a magic book?] Anathan didn't lose hope and opened it.
All Anathan can see are empty pages. His arm was a blank book with nothing written in it.
Maybe something will come out from this book once my potential will rise. Anathan said to himself.
The chancellor then shook his head and said, [It is so sad that we got a failure within the heroes.]
[Heroes since it is almost night time, I concur that everyone must be tired and hungry. For now my servants will guide you to your respective rooms for you to stay in and rest. I'll ask them to call you by the time dinner is ready.] the king announced to the heroes.
When the king clapped his hands, 10 female servants wearing maid uniform came inside the room. They lined up and gracefully bowed [We will guide you to your rooms.]
The castle was huge and if you are not familiar with the area you will easily get lost. Each of the students has their own room.
[Mr. Anathan we have arrived at your room.] The maid with short black hair opened the door to Hiro's room.
[Thanks uhm..] Anathan was wondering what her name was.
[Rosette. Rosette is my name Mr. Anathan. Just ring the bell when you need something.] She introduced herself and pointed at the bell located near the door.
[Thanks Rosette.] Anathan thanked the maid and closed the door. He checked around his new room.
The room was quite big for a single person. It has its own bed, chairs and a table. There is also a shelf that contains books. Furthermore, a bathroom was included.
Anathan lied on the bed. It was a soft fluffy bed.
Anathan raised his right hand as if he was reaching for the ceiling
What's going to happen from now on?
