⟨⟨War is brewing⟩⟩

  In the walls of the city Sendar,

  A group of adventurers consisting of a mage,tanker,and a fighter could be seen outside the big gate of a dungeon as they were resting

  “What a hard day clearing the dungeon, this begs the question,why do the dungeons keep on having a hard boss?” Said by a man sitting on a log,dressed as a tanker adventurer.

  It was Arthus and his companions. They only have finished clearing the dungeon in the city walls and take a break.

  “Well it's a dungeon, you'll expect really hard bosses that will exercise you to the bone so you really need to get more fit, Koi” Arthus chuckled

  “I know… you don't need to tell me” Koi answered

   Koi was a big bulky man that tanks all of the attacks of their enemies such as monsters. He was a reliable man that knew his responsibility in the group.

   A female voice spoke, “We're finished right? we should head back to the city and group with the others”

  “You're right Irelia, we should after all we fought hard and we deserve a drink!”

  Meanwhile, in Rendiah, the neighbouring nation of Yrta, a mountain castle is observable. Within the castle, a crowned man gazes out a window, viewing the vast land of Rediah

  "My king, what should we do?" One of King's advisors spoke. "The adventurers have left, shouldn't we strike at once?"

  The man with a crown gazing at the window that viewed the vast land of Rediah answered as he drank his glass of wine

  “Hahaha, You're right. Send the dragons,let there be Chaos!”

  A huge roar could be heard as a massive dragon with sharp claws, strong teeth and a thick layer of armor was being prepared to set out by a group of knights who were also armed with sharp daggers and heavy armor. They seemed even more menacing than usual as they were preparing themselves for war.

  Arthus and his friends seemed unaware of this,they were still having themselves a drink and a small party after clearing this dungeon. The king of Rediah has already decided to send the dragon for their invasion,it is only a matter of time now.

  The people of the city of Sendar are still unaware of all the bloodshed to occur in their city,they are still going about their everyday routine as another day goes by. Their normal everyday life is about to be shaken to the core,but they are still oblivious to what is going to happen.

  The group of adventurers have finished their simple party now,they are fully rested and are ready to go back to the city to regroup with the others. Everything seemed peaceful,and yet the world around them was about to be turned upside down and their normal peaceful lives would never be the same again.

    In the castle of Yrta kingdom, Wizards and Mages were seen beside the king and his throne acting as his advisers.

  "King,you need to give the order. The army of Rediah is now advancing as we speak”

  The king of Yrta remained silent for a few seconds. He already knows the order,but he is still hesitating on what he should do. His nation has been in a disagreement with Rediah for a while now,yet he is still hesitant to give the order to start a war.

  The silence became more and more tense,as the group of wizards and mages around him kept staring at him,some of them even seemed annoyed at the king's hesitation.

  He then finally spoke, "Summon the otherworlders,they have the potential to strike back and defend the kingdom”

  The silence was broken as everyone present in the room began to whisper about what the king had just said. Summoning the otherworlders was a risky option,but it could prove effective if done right.

  Some of the people present in the room were skeptical about this course of action while others supported it,but one thing was for sure,this decision has the potential to change the entire course of the war.

  A man dressed as a spy appeared behind the king's throne and spoke "My king, the king of Rediah has sent you a message,"

He then Passes a letter to the king which he reads silently with the letter saying:

'My dear old friend, surely enough,you will fight back to me as you did decades ago. The war will start within two weeks so good luck,

- Your friend

   Erlus'

The king clicked his tongue and crushed the paper as he finally ordered the mages and wizards to start the ritual of summoning the other worlders as fast as possible

  "We will have the war in two weeks,summon them now!”

  The mages and wizards of the Yrta kingdom began to chant spells and pour their magic energy into a specific spot on the ground. Their chants became louder and more intense as the energy build up continued.

  As the energy accumulated,a bright light started to appear in the center of the spot where the energy was concentrated. The light became brighter and brighter as time passed on…

  The light became blinding as it reached its peak,everyone present in the room had to cover their eyes and could no longer see anything in the room. When the light began to finally fade and everyone could see again,there was a person standing in the middle of the room who seemed very out of place.

  "Eh?! Where am I?! I swear I was just playing in the arcade”

  The person seemed confused and disoriented,they were suddenly transported to a different world that they have never seen before. They looked around for a moment,confused at everything that was going on around them. They then spoke again,but this time their voice sounded much calmer and more collected.

  "Could someone please explain to me what is going on? Where am I?”

  The people present in the room remained silent for a moment,but then a man dressed in armor spoke. "You are in Yrta kingdom and you are a hero, summoned here from another world to help us against the invasion of Rediah"

  He said with an orderly and formal tone,but yet his tone still managed to relay a hint of urgency in the situation at hand.

  The person seemed surprised and slightly taken aback by the sudden answer,they seemed to be processing everything at once. They stood there in shock and said,

"Invasion? You mean I was summoned here to fight back an invasion,but what am I meant to be doing? How do I fight in a war? I'm just a normal student who plays video games for goodness sakes”

  People present are surprised at the young man's reaction,they expected him to be more heroic looking and act more confident. The silence was broken by the sound of the king speaking,

  "Do not worry,you will be trained to be able to handle this situation. We do not expect you to understand everything right away,but everything will be explained to you in time for the invasion of Rediah.

  For now though,you should prepare yourself as the army of Rediah has already been advancing towards the city of Sendar.”

  A man covered in black robe then entered the room by the door. It was Claude. His Unexpected visit to his father made the king tremble,this indicated that something was wrong in his investigation with Scarlett’s sudden disappearance.

  "C-Claude! S..Scarlett's dead Am I right?"

  Claude nodded in silence while the otherworlder stood there in confusion.

  The young person remained silent and was observing the interaction between the king and Claude. They were surprised by the sudden arrival of Claude and the shocking news he brought with him.

  They did notice the king trembling at the mention of Scarlett's death,but they did not understand its significance or how it relates to the invasion.

  They then spoke up to express their confusion,

"Who is Scarlett? Is she important in this war or something?”

  The man in armor answered his question

  "Scarlett is the daughter of the king who was kidnapped by the demon king of the north”

  The young person remained silent for a moment after hearing the answer,as they are now processing the information they just received. Suddenly,they ask one more question,

  "Am I the hero that was summoned here to get Scarlett back?”

  "No.. You're no match to the demon king, BUT look father. I have found an individual that can be on par with the demon king!" Claude exclaimed.

  Claude's statement caught everyone by surprise, including the young person who just looked at Claude with an expression of curiosity.

  The king finally gathered himself after Claude had spoken and he spoke up again.

  "And who would this individual be that you are talking about?”

"You will see when I bring him to you"

  The king raised an eyebrow,visibly confused at this response.

"If you have found an individual who you believe to be able to match the demon king,why have you not brought this person to me already? The invasion could happen at any moment,so it seems like something we should talk about immediately.”

  "He's currently away for your request of clearing the nearby dungeons around the country”

  The young person was getting somewhat confused by the conversation between the king and Claude,even though he had already begun to understand the basic idea.

  The young person decided to ask another question,

  "Is this... an individual also an otherworlder like me?”

  "Judging from his strength, he is clearly not from this world,even Carol told me that"

"You mean that girl I pardoned?"

  The king raised one his eyebrows as he asks and Claude nods

  Claude's statements had piqued the young person's curiosity even more,the mystery surrounding this other    "hero" kept becoming bigger.

  The young person decided to ask one more question,

  "Can you tell me more about this person? What skills or abilities do they possess to be able to match the demon king?”

  "Carol said that he was able to slash 10 giant orcs head into half in an instant only using a tree branch”

  The young person seemed taken aback by the image that was painted in their mind by Claude's words. They took a few seconds to process that information before they spoke again.

  "10 orcs? In a single instant? That's insane, how can anybody be that strong to split 10 orcs into half with a tree branch? Are they even a normal human?”

  "That's what I am trying to figure out, anyways you also should train now... what's your name?"

The amount of time they spent chit chatting was quite long that they haven't known the young man's name nor age

  This sudden question made the young person slightly embarrassed as it occurred to them that they never introduced themselves to the people present in this room.

  The young person finally spoke after taking a moment to think about it.

"Ah, I'm sorry that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Akira and I'm a third year high school student, I play a lot of video games but I don't think that really matters.

  Nice to meet you all by the way.”

  Everyone in the room nodded their heads in acknowledgement and then Claude spoke up again.

  "Nice to meet you Akira,I'm Claude the heir to the throne of Yrta and that's my father the king of Yrta,we'll talk more later though. You should follow the knights here, as they will begin to train you now."

  The knights of Yrta began to move towards Akira,seemingly wanting to prepare them for the upcoming war against Rediah.
