"I saw you open your eyes, Ren! Quit laying around the bed and get up already…" The unknown person said that.
"Who are you?" Ren said that confusingly.
"Are you being serious right now? I don't want to hear your joke as we are already late."
Ren gets up from the bed and holds that person, "Who are you and where are we!"
"Fine! I will answer these ridiculous questions of yours but make sure to get ready after I tell you what you want to hear, as today is our important day."
That person then said his name was Aron, the only friend that Ren ever had in this place. As Ren was quite shy and didn't like to interact with other people in this place. This place was called the dormitory hall, which was where the acolyte lived before becoming a priest.
Despite hearing all of that, Ren still had no idea what's going on.
All that he remembers was he was playing the game Code Saga and about to enter it.
'Wait a minute! Is this an Isekai? Do I got transmigrate into this world… but that impossible'
Ren shrugs off the thoughts as he can't believe them. He believes that he probably had dozed off for a moment as he didn't sleep very well these past couple of days.
'This must be a dream… it must.'
Aron then slapped his back and said, "Hurry up will you… today is the day we finally become a priest."
As confused as Ren is right now, he had no other choice but to act normally for now.
Aron throws the priest's clothes towards Ren telling him to wear that. Because they didn't have enough time already, Aron advised Ren to take a bath later…
The moment Ren sees the priest's clothing, he remembers the choice he made at the start of Code Saga. That was a priest… he feels like there's something weird about this dream as it was aligned with the decision he made at the start of the game.
He feels like he was onto something but because of the pressure from Aron telling him to put the clothes off.
Ren then quickly picks up the priest's clothing and puts it on immediately.
"Okay, I'm-"
Aron took Ren's hands and began to drag Ren with him… Looking at that action, Ren realized that the thing might be really important for both of them.
…
The place where Aron brought Ren was a temple, there's a lot of people in priest's clothing there. It's almost like there's an event going on.
It was gorgeous, Ren had never seen a place like this in real life before… Ren felt like he was really in a fantasy world at the moment.
*Ding!*
The sound of a large bell could be heard as Ren was startled by it… As it was too sudden for him.
"I think we made it just in time, let's head inside," Aron said.
The inside of the Temple was quite large, there's also a lot of people inside as well. Seeing all of those people somehow made Ren feel a bit nervous. As he rarely went into a place with a very large crowd like this.
Ren feels like he could faint at this moment but he knows by doing that would just make him gain more attention. So he had no other choice but to suck it up for now and keep his cool…
Both of them then line up like the other people inside the temple and a few minutes later, there's someone old heading towards the stage.
"Good morning fellow acolytes. Today-'
…
The speech was quite long and Ren's leg felt like it couldn't stand any longer. It almost feels like torture but seeing others people were still on their feet… Ren had to hold on for a bit more as it seemed like the speech would be ending soon.
'Is this a graduation ceremony?' Ren says within himself.
After listening to it for almost half an hour…
"I'm proud of you all… starting from today, you all would be called as a Priest of Enous. May the Enous guide your way."
The speech does give Ren a bit of information about what's going on right now. He knows that this wasn't a dream anymore and he somewhat transmigrated into this world. As the High priest did mention the world name, that was Saga.
But Ren wouldn't be able to figure out why he was chosen, he had no fighting experience and what worse was he's an introvert.
He wonders what will Shin think of his sudden disappearance from the world he was living in before. Would they miss Ren…
As Ren was busy thinking, Aron approached him. He then tapped Ren at the back.
"Glad that we're able to make it in time, now that we're already becoming a priest… it's time for us to spread the teaching of God Enous."
Ren could only smile as he basically did not know anything about the World of Saga. He kinda regretted not learning about the lore of the world before playing the game as he was able to learn something from it.
"Hey! Ren!? Are you even listening…"
"Um.. yeah."
"You should head back to the dorm and take a bath… you're starting to smell," Aron said that.
"You're right… I will be heading back now."
Ren sniffed himself and realized that it did smell. With that, Ren quickly heads back to the dormitory to take a bath.
…
As he nearly reached the place, Ren bumped into someone as Ren wasn't looking in front at all.
"Watch out will-"
"I'm sorry…" Ren quickly utters the word.
"It's you… the quiet kid. How dare you bump into me! Are you trying to knock me down to the ground?!" The man said that angrily.
Ren looked towards the person and saw that there's a rather huge man in front of him. That somehow makes Ren a little bit intimidated by that person.
