Chapter 305 - Hero Summoning
As the demon lands were being cleaned of all tribes that won't follow Kretos, the human kingdoms were also in a state of panic. So of them decided to simply take a wait and see attitude, as they will act accordingly to the situation as it progresses. On the other hand, the other kingdoms were getting ready for war as they strengthen their defenses. So were discussing an alliance with the neighboring kingdoms, so went so far as to discuss an alliance with the other races.
While every other kingdom was still talking about what to do next, one of the human kingdoms located near the demon lands was about ready to take action.
…
The Sliral Kingdom had been guarding the one and only path towards the demon lands for centuries. Tall Mountains separate the demon lands and the human kingdoms, the only way for land units to pass is through the Great Canyon that the Sliral Kingdom protects.
The ancestors of those of the Sliral kingdom have fought the ancient demon lords led by the demon king. They were barely able to repel the demons after losing much of their lands to them. In the end, a warrior from a different world was summoned and was able to defeat the demon king. After the defeat of the demon king, the ancient human hero and the ancient demon lords agreed to a truce.
For a ti both sides flourished together. The Sliral Kingdom's Touma City which was nad after the hero that helped them had beco a center of trade between the demon lands and the Sliral Kingdom.
Yet after centuries had passed, both sides have long forgotten about this truce. The current people of the Sliral Kingdom believe that Touma City was a defensive fortress, a barricade for the demons.
They had fortified the city into a near-impenetrable fortress. The once-bustling city of comrce, where rchants of different places ca to gather had turned into a military fortress. It was now filled with blacksmiths, knights, rcenaries, and combat mages.
Currently, the fortress was filled with more people than usual. The Kingdom was getting ready for war. So that the spies planted by the other kingdoms wouldn't notice their movent the Sliral Kingdom had placed a similar amount of soldiers at the border near their long ti enemy kingdom. They did this so that it would look like that they placed a lot of soldiers to defend the Canyon from the demons and at the sa ti defend against their long ti enemy.
…
While the soldiers were preparing for war, the King his queen, his son, and his daughter, alongside his most trusted generals, and court mage were all back in the capital getting ready to summon the hero.
Due to this being of the utmost importance to the Sliral Kingdom aside from the people present in the room no one else knew of this plan. They scanned the room for any unwanted person. After they saw that no one, not even a rat was in the room the court mage began the summoning ritual.
He drew a large magic circle and wrote runes at the edges. Once he was done the Court Mage asked the princess to pray to one of the Gods for a blessing. The princess nodded her head, knelt in front of the magic circle, and started praying. While she was praying the magic circle started to shine.
Seeing what was happening the court mage started to pour mana into the magic circle. Now all they needed to do was wait.
…
Takafumi Sora was your everyday salaryman who lived in a small apartnt in Tokyo. As he ca back from work Sora took a bath and turned on the T.V. He checked if his DVR recorded the magical girl ani, he wanted to watch.
'Good thing it was recorded properly this ti.'
Takafumi Sora twenty-six years old was an otaku. He liked playing gas and watching ani, and it was the only comfort he found in this world. After he was done enjoying his show, Sora noticed his phone was buzzing it was a ssage from his mother. He took out his phone and read the ssage.
'Another omiai, this is the second one this month.' Sora scratched his head and sighed. He got a pack of cigarettes and went to the balcony to smoke.
Sora looked dazedly at the shining lights of the city of Tokyo. He then looked up and saw that there were no stars shining, there was only the moon looking down at him.
'It's not like I don't want to get married, but I don't want to marry a girl that thinks watching ani at my age is creepy.' Sora started to rember his past experiences with won, the mont they learned he was an otaku they started looking at him differently.
'It would be better if I find soone with the sa interest as . Yeah, I should find my own girlfriend…' When Sora said those words he sighed more heavily than usual. 'Who am I kidding, the number of years I had no girlfriend is the sa as my age. How is soone like going to find soone? Should I just give up and stop watching too much ani and playing too many video gas? Should I stop collecting my limited edition figurines?'
Sora started scratching his head as he put out the fire of his cigarette and flicked it to the side. 'Whatever I won't change, and I don't want to! If I don't have a wife then so be it, I have all my lovely waifus with .'
Once he was done contemplating, Sora opened the sliding door and entered his room. Yet the mont he stepped into his room, the scenery change. His 1ldk room changed, the T.V his laptop the tatami floors, and his futon all of it was gone.
In place of all those things, were a group of heavily ard n with swords and spears. A middle-aged man with a staff. There were also people that looked like a king and queen sitting on their thrones. Beside them was a young boy who looked to be around eight years old. All of these people surprised him, but what truly caught Sora's attention was the beautiful maiden kneeling in front of him.
She had long raven black hair and had a body that was to die for. She could pretty much be a gravure idol. As Sora was confused as to what was happening, the middle-aged man spoke to him.
"O hero from another world we thank you for coming to our aid."
"Huh?" Sora looked at everyone confused. 'Did this guy just call a Hero? Am I dreaming, is this a dream after I rewatch Aura Battler Dunbine?' Sora closed his eyes and bit his tongue, trying to wake up. Yet instead of waking up he just got hurt.
'What the f*ck, this isn't a dream?!'
"Dear hero, are you alright?" The princess asked looking worriedly at Sora. Seeing the worried look of the beautiful princess made Sora blush a bit as he shook his head.
"I'm alright… Just a little bit confused and tired…" Sora didn't know what to say and just said whatever ca to mind.
"I apologize, o hero, being summoned from another realm might have been very taxing for you. You can rest, for now, we can explain the situation to you once you're properly rested."
One of the generals called in a maid and asked them to guide the guest to the room they had prepared. Sora who was still utterly confused followed the maid without further questions. Once Sora was gone from the room, one of the generals spoke in irritation.
"What was that?! Is that supposed to be our hero?! That man was too weak and scrawny even the normal soldiers could beat him! How is he-" Before the general could continue shouting his frustrations the king signaled him to stop. The general gritted his teeth and stopped talking. The other generals were also looking concerned about the situation.
"Jeter, Was there a mistake during the summoning process?" The king asked the court mage called Jeter.
"No your highness, the summoning was a huge success. There has been no mistake." Jeter answered calmly even though he was being glared at by the generals.
"Then how co, that person was summoned? Like General Marcus said, based on what we saw that person did not look like he was a warrior of any kind."
"Do not worry your highness, heroes summoned from another world are usually like that at the beginning. Based on the records of the ti the hero Touma was summoned he too at the beginning was a weak and scared young man. Yet after defeating a few monsters, his strength grew, and as he continued fighting and killing his strength grew even more. The potential hidden within these heroes from another world can be fully unleashed once he defeats his first monster."
…
While the King and his n were talking about what to do next, Sora was sitting down on a bed in the room he was led to. He was finally able to calm down and was trying to assess the situation.
'Did I really get transported to another world?… Okay, I just need to calm down, for now, panicking won't solve anything… Based on the circumstances, this isn't like those isekai mangas were the hero gets to et God, like in the ani In Another World with My Smartphone. This feels more like the rising of the shield hero type thing. If that's the case maybe I have sothing like a status screen.'
Sora then started testing out his theory and spoke the words, "Status" both in his mind and using his mouth. A status window then appeared in front of him.
Status:
Na: Sora
Race: Human
Class: Newbie Hero

When Sora saw the status screen, the fear and confusion he felt were blown away and was replaced with excitent… As an otaku, many have wished for a similar situation to happen to them, and now it was actually happening to him.
