Looking around I saw a big 25 - 50m rectangular room. Lined by the walls were what looked like medival knights in white armor, sparsely spaced out. To my left were 9 people. Everyone was also looking around with confused expressions. They all had clothes of different styles. Some modern, others old fashioned, there was also a guy in a spider-man costume.
The weirdest thing was all of those people had different features that humans shouldn't have. Cat ears, fangs, tails, wings, ash grey skin, weird pointy ears etc. We were all perfectly lined up facing a woman that looked to be in her early twenties. She wore a white robe like those church women but different. She had blond hair and looked somehow mystical, I couldn't tell you why I thought of that, It was just a feeling.
There were also these weird words floating in front of me and a robotic voice speaking in my head...
[System Initializeing....]
[1...2...3...20%...]
[Race change successful, Updating bloodline]
[Error... High-human bloodline resisting transformation... Overriding...]
[45%...]
[Overriding successful... Changed race to Nymph... As consequence of changing to a lower race host will be given compensations to maintain balance...]
[67%]
From the beginning I was nauseus, felt tingling all over my body and couldn't really focus. So ultimately I decided to sit down, close my eyes and take deep breaths and only focus on my breathing.
After a minute, my head cleared and I regained my focus, I also saw this message:
[System installation successful. Welcome host and congradulations. To open your system interface, just think 'open system']
Obviously I ignored those words as I am not insane. I stood up and was about to politely ask to robed woman a question when she opened her mouth first.
"Welcome. I understand you are confused so I will slowly explain where, why and how you are here."
"First of all, my name Is Sanatoria. Right now we are in a church building at the kingdom of Astaros. I used magic, a summoning spell and the power of my god to summon you here..."
She waits for a bit to let us catch up and continues
"I have summoned you because of a prophecy decreed by our godess, of a calamity coming in the future. You are each individuals who have been chosen by our godess to stop the calamity and become heroes."
"So heroes I welcome you to the world of Chronos, the beginning of a legend that are now your lives."
The woman, Sanatoria, looks utterly pleased with herself.
'This drug bitch started beaming more and more the longer she talked. Obviously she is either out of her mind or an actor. Either way If someone doesn't end this farce soon, somebody is gonna die...'
"Amazing, is this real? Am I dreaming?.. Ouch. Hahahahah"
A chubby man with pointy ears and blond hair started laughing after muttering to himself.
A girl that had fox ears on top of her head and a tail at her back also started smiling and said.
"Wow a system? Open system... Race beastkin' fox... no way. HOLY CRAP I GOT FOX EARS!!! HAHAHAH this is so cool."
Most people had similar reactions, they were all on the younger side. Others noted the situation calmly and started asking questions from the robed woman. Some started to panic and frantically looked around and started to poke the air in front of them. I desided to talk to the robed woman and see what kind of prank was being played, except... When I took a step my pants fell down and I tripped, falling down.
*Plop
"What.."
The robed woman rushed to me and helped me up.
"Oh looks like because of your new race you became smaller so the clothes are too big for you now, don't worry we'll get you new ones soon."
And that's when I noticed the incongruency that has been in the back of my mind since the start... I've become smaller...
'No way'
"Umm excuse me robe lady, I'm getting pretty annoyed and I have a flight to catch so please point me to the exit and I'll be on my way."
I put on my politest costumer service smile and ask in the most polite way I know. If they Immidiately let me go I will not take action against them.
"Umm, catch flight? I'm sorry esteemed hero but sadly I cannot send you back. The summoning only works as a one way gate. Againg I apologize but any of you summoned heros can't return back to your worlds."
Subconciously I probably already know that this is real and the robe woman isn't lying. However my rationality isn't really wanting to comprehend the conclusion my subconcious has come to. As a result I use the formula: Kidnapping+Shady bitch+weird things+patience 0= Use violence to threaten people.
I swiftly grab her by the arm, slide my left arm around her neck and put her in a choke hold.
"Listen here drug bitch, tell me how to get out of here. Otherwise I'm gonna kill you, escape and then come back and kill everyone in this organisation."
The other 9 people are startled. The knights quickly run and surround us and pull out their weapons and start yelling. But there is one thing thats weird. The woman in my choke hold doesn't seem to be struggling or resisting or moving at all.
*Sigh* "Please don't panic, we will take care of you. Even if you can't return to your original world you can have a perfectly fullfilling life here."
As she finishes her sentance she yanks my arm off her neck like pulling off a 5 year old.
!!!
'This woman is crazy strong'
My eyes widen. She turns around and pats my head twice. The guards are suggesting her to arrest me, but she just sends them back to their stations. She looks like she doesn't even consider what I did an attack, but just some childish prank.
'Wtf, how is this possible... no no no no, I can't get kidnapped now, I was finally having a happy LiFe AND N0W I BECOME A SLAVE. AHAHAHAHA'
[Host mental condition unstable... Host has high amount of negative energy. 2 hidden classes unlocked.]
My face twists and turns in many different expressions for a few seconds until I finally choose to accept the situations and make do for now.
'haahh, whatever I'll just find a way like I always have. No need to make it harder for myself'
Sanatoria, aka robe woman, walks back to her previous spot and starts talking.
"Now each of you should have acquired a system, please open your system menu and look at your race, skills and stats."

"As you can see each one of your names has changed. That's simply because you are no longer the same person you were before, so the system gave you new names."
"Your race has also changed. Each one of the heroes is of different race. Your race was picked by which race your personality represents the most out of the ten."
"Your race can also change when you evolve. Each race has a different level cap required for evolution. Right now all of you are a low ranking race. Once you evolve you ascend ranks. The ranks are as follows: Low - Medium - High - Elite."
"You don't have a class yet. You will be able to pick one when you reach level 5. The stats represent your strenght, with each level up a predetermined amount of each of your stats rises, which varies. You also have status points which you can additionally and freely add."
"Then you have abilities, class skills and skills. Abilities are skills that come from your race or that you are born with. Class skills depend on your class. And skills are aquired or learned. Skills and abilities can also evolve under certain conditions. Skills are graded by ranks that you can see when you check the skill for information. The ranks go like this: F,E,D,C,B,A,S,Z, with Z being the highest grade. Abilities dont have ranks but they can still evolve."
"Now let's change locations, I'll bring you to where you'll be staying."
After that we followed the smiling Sanatoria through the large door at the end of the hall. I have to admit, the view outside is truly incredible. Everything seemed to have more vibrant colours than my old world. Even the stones that buildings were made of seemed to glow.
We moved through the streets, surrounded by a lot of greenery. This seemed to be a medival village, with sparsely placed houses and multiple fields and lush forests. Honestly the houses and the cathedral building we just came out of seemed to be too nice for a small village.
After 15 minutes of walking we neared a mansion with a fence surrounding it. The fence was quite far from the mansion that made a large garden. The mansion was 3 stories and large overall. It looked to have a hybrid of medival and modern style deign, which gave it a luxurious and hospitaple feeling.
Sanatoria pushed open the large double doors and what greeted us were a grandiose staircase and about 30 maids and butlers. Sanatoria asked us to line up like before, so we did.
"Now listen up. I'll be assigning each of you a personal maid or butler. Today get to know each other, explore the mansion and the system. Your training starts tomorrow. The rest will be explained by your personal servant. Now raise your hand up if you want a butler."
About half raised their hand. Sanatoria assigned each who raised their hand a butler and those who didn't a maid. I, of course, went for a maid.
"Nice to meet you miss, my name is Isabella, I will be your personal maid from now on."
The maid who introduced herself had black hair and green eyes, she looked human, and her face was feminine with sharp features. I don't know why but she looked like a big sister type. She had a curvy body and D cup breasts, she looked super sexy. She seemed to be around 180cm.
Her introduction was followed by a few seconds of silence because I was just staring at her body. I also almost started drooling, but snapped out of it and introduced myself as well.
'Wtf, why is my lust acting up, that's not like me at all'
"Mm Isabella, my name is Valia Raid. Refer to me as Lady or Lady Valia. Now please lead me to my room."
"Yes, Lady Valia, this way."
We went upstairs to the second floor. When I stepped into my room I was quite pleased. It was a big room, which had a bedroom, a living room and a toilet. Everything was asthetically pleasing. The bathroom was big and modern, with flush toilets, a large bath and shower. The bedroom had a kings bed and a walk in cupboard. The living room had a cornet couch a table and some regular chairs. There was also some gadgets and furniture that I couldn't understand the purpose of, but I didn't care. All in due time.
The housing and treatment was very pleasing. Although I hated this world and wanted to go back home, all those years crawling out of that shithole taught me to enjoy the present and the little things. Otherwise I would go crazy or burn myself out.
I had Isabella make me and herself some tea and sat her down on the couch to pick her brain.
She told me that the kingdom of Astaros, which we were currently in, was the most powerful kingdom on the continent. It's a superpower in regards to the military, economy and population. Social security and technological advacment is also high. Only its landsize is the second biggest.
Also this world has monsters and everyone has a system. There are adventurers and a persons power is graded by letters, from F to Z, the same as skills.
The worlds technology ranges from medival to modern to past modern. There are teleporters and spatial storage devices and stuff. And so far they have already visited the three moons that orbit the planet.
After picking her brain for some general information about the world, I had Isabella bring me dinner. Now it was time to take a look at the system in depth, since I had to get as powerful as possible as fast as possible.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as I finished reading everything, I immidiately plopped down on the floor and started doing push-ups, sit-ups, squats and chin-ups. After being unable to do more I figured out how to refine my mana core and started working on that.
Honestly a part of me still wants to resist. To claim that all of this is fake and go straight home. But I don't give a shit. As long as it seems real, it is real, which means I'll be doing everything in my power to get stronger and escape these kidnappers. If you kidnap me prepare to die.
After 3 hours of training I went to sleep.
