Chapter 2 - A new world

Kei appears in a large room surrounded by old men in robes and people dressed royaly. "The summoning worked" yells one, there is cheering around the room " We're saved!" says a greyed man in scarlet robes and a thin gold crown. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions you are in the world of Andronia," says the King "I'm King Alexander I rule this world... well actually half but that's what we need you for". He looks at Kei's appearance Kei was used to people being disturbed by his appearance and decided to ignore it "Persephone take our guest and have him...cleaned up, after we will talk about your purpose here" An attractive girl around his age with brunette hair sneers at him "father I've never seen someone....that color and he's so dirty". "Persephone! don't be rude he is our savior and our honored guest" "yeah yeah ok" she says as she leads him to a large bath with maids "Do your best" she says as leaves. Kei was about to say something back till the maids start striping him "woah woah, stop I-" but his protests were ignored. After many hours of scrubbing, brushing and cursing Kei was cleaner than he had been his whole life, his skin is clean and moisturized and his hair is brushed and flowing over his shoulders. He is given a black shirt, loose-fitting wool pants and wooden sandals to wear, his stuff was taken by a maid as he is brought to a table with more food than he has seen his whole life the room was 6 meters tall and 10 meters long adorned with beautiful draperies and another set of maids (which he was beginning to like) the table was piled with unfamiliar food on silver platters with golden goblets filled with a deep red wine. The aroma takes over as he starts to dig in till he notices the stares from the Alexander, Persephone and an older lady who he assumed was the queen "mmmh ohm sorry I was impolite" "its quite alright I'm sure you come a different.... society" says the Alexander trying to be sound polite. "Do you know why your here" Kei looks up from his food "all I know is a man made me sign something and I appeared here "yes, you are here to be our hero to save us from the demon king that controls half our world,as a summon you have great power compared to the people of this world a rival to the demon king once you get have been properly trained-" Kei cuts off Alexander "what's in it for me" "as a summon you are second to me you have my wealth, my resources, and are in line to be the next ruler" says Alexander. Kei can't help but notice Persephone's reaction to that. "Will you accept the role of our Hero and save our world" Kei accepts without a second thought "yes yes I accept" "are you sure you don't have any regrets about leaving your family behind?" Alexander says in a puzzled tone Kei just shakes his head. "Ok, then your training starts tomorrow I have a room prepared for you get plenty of rest and if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask. After Kei was dismissed he was led upstairs to a chamber that was 3 meters tall and 10 meters long, with 2 large ceiling to floor windows and glass doors that led to a large balcony that overlooked the large common grounds of the castle, and a bed twice as large as he has ever seen adorned with red silk sheets and feather pillows. He dives into the first bed he has had in many years and drifts off to sleep not knowing what tomorrow will hold.
