The timer had started getting to its last few moments. However, it seemed that everyone had arrived at the event. A person was around the corner trying to make it on time before the timer ended. He rushed as fast as he could. His breathing was as loud as a dog running gasping for air.
“Huff! Huff! Huff!”
As soon as he got to the Central Hall he gasped as he threw his arms down in exhaustion. To his surprise, the timer got to zero when he arrived.
[ Event: Welcome to My World ]
[ Location: Central Hall | 0:00 ]
A boy in the distance who had rushed over and been around thirty seconds early looked over at the man who made it. He thought in his mind that the whole interface screens that are hollow are an odd thing. It wasn’t only him who had acquired this feature, many others had this hollow screen. He was struck in thought.
Could this be a trap of some kind? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a Fantasy World having a sort of interface like this. Usually, it’s like Medieval sorts of things in these types of environments. But, if only these people and I got this… Why didn’t the other people in the streets get alerted to this?
Suddenly, the man who made it on time had cheered which interrupted the boy’s thought to be focused on the shouting. Everyone started staring at the man as if he was a madman. But, something odd happened soon after…
“Yes! I made it aliv-”
Those would be the last words that man would ever speak of…
Shnkkkk!!!
Blood sprayed the tough brick floor red as if a crime scene had occurred at that moment. The boy’s eyes widened as he saw the horrifying scene.
H-His body… it was… cut in half?
The boy had remembered one thing before arriving at the Central Hall, when he had looked at the message pop up about having to arrive at this event on time. In small lettering, it wrote…
Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.
[ If you cannot arrive on time to the Event, it will lead to your death. In other words, you would be eliminated from this world. ]
He broke a cold sweat running down his spine. He imagined the many deaths that could have occurred if he or others hadn’t read that small message like the man who had died. People around who had seen the scene screamed bloody murder, they were terrified as if they had never seen death before in their lives.
This isn’t a child’s joke at all… That guy… he’s dead!
The message that read the event’s name was still apparent but with a different tone of color. Rather than having the interface color blue, it had turned red along with a new box with “The Summoner” written clearly in a bold style. He looks at the interface in fear.
[ Event: Welcome to My World | Time Elapsed: 0:00:01 ]
[ The Summoner ]
A mere second after the event began, a weird silhouette appeared, formed from a weird distorting effect within the air. It wore a cloak that was made out of black leather that shined the sun. But, that wouldn’t be that long before the whole mood and weather changed. It had transitioned from sunny and clear weather to a darker, cloudy atmosphere.
“Who… is that?”
Everyone in the Central Hall soon turned terrified from the creepy figure. Most were confused about what was happening. Many shouted after the figure stood still for minutes in silence.
“What the hell is your problem!”
Then, the figure covered with a black cloak finally moved. Both of its arms rose as if it was about to fly. People stood there dumbfounded and confused at what it was doing. But it spoke…
“I… Welcome…”
The boy’s eyes strictly focused on the figure in the distance and what it was saying. He gulped wondering what was left in his sentence that he paused. His heart rate gradually raised as the tension grew.
Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!
“To… My…”
His heart kept racing, he was truly terrified of where he had been taken.
Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!
“...World.”
Silence filled the entire premises as those words were finally spoken.
Tokuda Hajime’s life would forever change from this moment starting now…
