Chapter 1
LIBERIA
Los Angeles, California (March 23, 2057)
"all we can do to save ourselves is to use this device"
Dr. Nicolas Bolton announced while unveiling the cutting edge technology believed that can save the remaining 1 million people on earth.
A sea of people gathered and hoped that this machine will save us and ultimately the whole human race from being extinct.
"in about a few more minutes we humans are going to be History! This world is dying and so are we, let us climb new heights and leave this rotten place." he added.
Our planet named Earth used to be very beautiful teeming with life. In the History of mankind living in such a paradise is nothing but a sinful dream.
In the sea of people he smirked as seen from the giant projection in the night sky. Dr. Nicola, the greatest scientist of all time is about to change the fate of humanity.
As the Fluxx Wave Amplifier starts to sound boys, girls, young, and old are feeling the intense swirl of dark particles. We, the remaining humans in this war torn world were transported to another world.
__
We are all swept away by an unknown force, it feels like my body and soul is being torn apart. I can't force myself to ignore this unique feeling.
I don't know about the others but it seems like I was transported inside of a church looking building with statues all around me. I am shocked to find myself in here to be honest, I am the only one in my family who think that Nicola is just trolling.
I can't help myself for being amazed, this environment is totally just like a cathedral from online games where heroes are being summoned. Am I some kind of a legendary hero of some sort? Well whatever, it will be a pain in the ass if that happens given that I am not that reliable as a human being in the first place.
I was looking around the room when a book of some sort piqued my interest. For some reason I felt a burning sensation in my chest when I touched it.
Aside from the title of the book I can't understand the rest until it happened.
"The Light of Liberia"
Light flashed through the book and the letters inside came out and surround me with haste. I don't know what is going on but now I am sure that I have witnessed something magical.
After a few seconds the light stopped
"is that it?"
I was excited there for a second but the hype that I felt is no more. After the flashing light and those words I heard someone knocking on the door.
"so are you done now kid?"
A huge man wearing full leather equipment came in with a scary look in his face and asked me to follow him. I was hesitant at first but I still followed him.
"grab onto me kid"
He looked at me and smirked after saying that and he took out some sort of stone in his pocket. I grabbed his cape and then he shouted Liberia."
"LIBERIA!"
I remember this feeling, I'm getting transported again. For some reason I felt a faint burn in my right hand and saw a white crest on it. And before I knew it I was in front of a crowd.
You got to be kidding me, this crowd is huge. Not as huge as the crowd earlier but man this is different, their eyes is directed in me. Am I some kind of a criminal now?
"what the heck is going on here."
I'm not expecting someone to answer my question but man I am overwhelmed. Is is a bit too late but I really am in a new world.
"well I was also overwhelmed by this to be honest."
Someone actually answered, I looked beside me and there stood a guy in my age with yellow hair and blue eyes. And few seconds after other guys just popped out of nowhere.
There are six of now in this circle, I remember the huge guy shouted Liberia holding the stone. This country must be Liberia and that stone thing is some kind of a teleporting device.
"what is going on here?"
"where am I?"
"is this some kind of a dream?"
"i think this is a prank"
Everyone of them is wondering what is going on including me. The crowd is huge and the cheers are unbelievable.
"thank you for coming here today, as the king of this country I am presenting you the Legendary Heroes of the prophecy."
"legendary heroes? Well that's some shit they got there, I am just a High school student who is sleeping in class but when I came to I am in this shitty place. What the hell is wrong in here?" that is the rant of one guy in uniform. I think he is younger than me. As for the other four, for me their appearance alone makes them a capable hero.
And the king continues to speak.
"according to the legend the six heroes are entrusted unique powers to command one element namely fire, wind, water, earth, dark, and light."
"and according to the legend, the heroes will save this world from destruction."
I am amused in what I'm hearing, is this some kind of Fairy Tale or something. As I look around the cheering crowd of the kingdom I saw different races.
"hmm so those elements have something to do with these symbol in my arm is that it?" the blond guy said.
I am aware of that fact and looking at my crest I am the hero of light. I would prefer this life over my life on earth so now I have to do my best and fulfil my duty as a hero of this country.
"as the heroes summoned to save this world they must fulfil their duty to protect the citizens of this world. The Divine power of God will guide them to crush the forces of evil."
Somehow the voice of the king is becoming more serious, I can see the passion in his eyes.
"Heroes! We are begging you to please help us with your power."
"prepare yourselves heroes"
"What the actual fuck is this? A magic circle?"
"prepare yourselves for the next bloodbath, right now you are just normal human beings chosen by the elements of Liberia. Prove your worth and in due time we will meet again."
And the light once again took us somewhere within this Fantasy world. This is the third time today that I'm being teleported but I just can't get used to this feeling.
"ahhhhh"
I can still hear everyone's scream and after a second I found myself alone in the forest. Just what the heck is going on here? Treating a hero like this is a crime.
The first thing that I want to do now is to find the nearest town. Am I given some kind of map or something? Or a button for help?
For about 30 minutes I searched everything in my vision and touched or pressed every single thing in my body to find the help switch or some action interface or a map maybe but there was no such thing as those.
Man this is too realistic, how am I supposed to chant a catastrophe class magic like this? Man this world must be set in hard mode, I have played many games but this world is so complex that I didn't even know what to do first.
Aside from my normal clothes I don't have anything but this Light crest that I got after reading that book.
Is it really possible for me to command the light element? Well it doesn't hurt to try. After concentrating power is welling up inside my right arm. The heat is unbearable, I cant hold it any longer. Just kidding, I cant seem to do it.
After strolling in the forest for so long I stumbled upon two human beings, a guy with a full plate armor and a girl in a robe. I looked closely to their wrist and they also have crests. Is is possible that they are heroes also?
"hello I am a bit lost see? I am the hero of Light and I cant seem to find the way to the nearest village. Can you guys help me?" after telling them this things they looked at each other and paused for a second.
"a hero?"
The girl in the robe asked me for confirmation, I bet that they are very honored to meet a marvelous hero like myself. To think that this kid right here(me) is one of the legendary heroes that will save the world.
"yes that's right I am the hero of the Light element"
"BWAAHAHAHAHAHA A HERO? YOU? KEEP DREAMING KID."
The guy in the full plate armor is mocking me, I should show them how good I am to earn their respect.
"holy light of the ages I command you to shine and purify my enemies."
Is this a spell incantation? I can see it all in my head, this is the ultimate spell of the light class I presume.
"SMITE!"
A blinding light from the sky came falling with might. A split second of silence it came down hitting the full plated guy.
"i am sorry, I didn't mean to harm you but I am a hero and I need your respect for it. I did hold back a little so I think you are safe."
I am not that arrogant of a person to try to hurt someone just for being laughed at. I just wanted them to know that I am the real thing and that's it.
I closed my eyes and faced the different direction. "now you shall tell the tale of the smite hero."
Wow that's so cool.
"wait kid is that an attack of some sort? Or did you play tricks on me or something? That light sure was bright."
"....…"
It didn't even damage him at all. Am I going to die in here? He is smiling at me, he is gonna torture me to death I know it.
"let us take you to town kid, you sure showed me a unique magic in there that I haven't seen before."
The guy smiled as he carried me, for some reason I exhausted all my energy in that attack and it didn't even damage him. That was the strongest attack I have. (well I learned it by accident tho)
"are you guys heroes also? You also have crests just like me so you two must be heroes also."
"you're still going with that huh kid, everyone in this world has a crest and can command an element or two."
What the heck is this development? I thought I was a legendary hero I must confirm something first. "what about the kings announcement that we are heroes? There are six of us to be precise."
"what are you talking about kid? There are no king in here, the last king lived 200 years ago. The monarch system was abolished after the war on the same year."
"you must be dreaming kid, and the title hero are given to those mighty adventurers that have vanquished a mighty foe. The beasts of legend, the Dragon."
After being carried by this guy in armor we arrived to the nearest town that is called Wert. This town seems peaceful enough to start a new life.
"thank you I can walk now."
There are some strange things that is going on that I cannot explain. Somehow a group of kids came to us and I was surprised when they told me that I was in the forest since yesterday.
The girl in the Robe came in front of me and chanted a spell.
"clear confusion"
{arcane magic: removes confuse status}
It feels my mind is a little bit clearer right now. Wait I remember everything. I was at school and I asked my classmate to read my work.
My work is about a world in the brink of destruction then after the class I fell asleep.
I looked in my appearance in the reflection of the water and I am still in my uniform. It looks like I am dreaming about the destruction of the world and being chosen as a hero.
"you have a unique crest there kid, I have seen many but this is the first time that I've seen that kind of thing."
I am not a hero, I am just a transported kid from another world.
