Chapter 1 The Holy King
When Rethrea was trying to send Ruby and Henry to the world there seemed to have been an issue. They weren't being sent to their designated area . Instead of the blinding light that Rethrea uses they were engulfed in this crimson aura forcefully dragging them into a hole. They wake up and see that they've arrived in a room full of people in bright white and scarlet attire. Their clothing resembles that of a pope minus the hat. One of the religious people who seemed to be the leader chimes up and says " The ritual was a success. We have summoned the new king of Asfalth." but he is cut off by the sudden appearance of Henry behind the intended target.
-Who is this imperfect boy?Why has he been summoned alongside the next king? He has no potential in succeeding in the grueling test we are going to put Ruby in.
-How do you know my name? Ruby asks in confusion. I have no recollection of ever mentioning it. But please continue to bully the vermin who is beneath me in every way besides height but fvck height." Henry finally speaks up to defend himself " Fvck off, Ruby you're being an a$$hole right now. I thought we were supposed to be friends. I doubt you could even do these "grueling" trials. Plus like you said I'm taller and actually fit so I could probably do anything you could do " One of the smaller priests asks him " Can you put your money where your mouth is?" Completely disregarding the priests question Henry finally asks one of the most important questions
- Where are we and what are you gonna make us do to prove that we can become king?
-We will tell you tomorrow, get a good night's rest. We shall let you sleep in the kingdom. Yes, even you Henry.
-Henry, let's go explore the castle in the meantime before we go to the dream world.
Henry reluctantly agrees. Once they step foot outside the door they see carpets and curtains all colored in various red and gold tints. They witness mural of this ginormous person. From the look of it he was probably the past king. Ruby screams in excitement " If those are the clothes I'm gonna get count me in immediately"
Wandering around the beautiful and well decorated castle Ruby and Henry started talking about the gravity of this situation
- Henry, do you know what this means? I'm gonna become king of this kingdom. If you do well you might even be able to become king with me just like in No Game No Live. I'll be Shiro and you would be the worst version of Sora.
- You know what, I don't even have the energy to put up with you. Just wait till you fail these trials. I will be sooooooooooo happy.
- Henry, what if we're being watched,you can't just curse like that. Like since we were isekai this means that people are watching us like an anime. I wonder what our animation style is. Oh the opening must be on fire.- For all you know we might be a book.
Arriving at their shared bedroom,Ruby scoffs at the idea that they're in a book because books are boring in his eyes. These idiots fall asleep with dreams reflecting their personalities. Henry dreams about returning home and a surprise dagger smaller than a cat's tail. Surprisingly he even wants to rejoin his little brother. While talking in his sleep he says " Mom, Dad and Mason I'll find a way back home. Please wait for me". On the other hand, Ruby dreams are just about isekais and anime plots to replicate.The boys wake up to the sound of immense roars of creatures and monsters. The two guys realize that they are no longer in the royal room but in a gladiator cage. The bars are made with this surprisingly unique teal metal, but the strange thing is, this cage doesn't seem to be for keeping this inside but for keeping things outside. Suddenly an announcer yells to the crowd "The next king candidates will be tested in might by fighting an exact replica of Gryffindor, one the mightiest and unbeatable fighters in all of the arena's history. Weighing at 500R and standing a whopping 6T tall. But to be fair we will be giving the powerful Ruby and defensive Henry the chance to roll for their weapons and possibly more we'll just have to see " Brought to a wheel with 100 different weapons going from a sharp rock to a dragon slaying sword. Ruby starts off by rolling a 98. The whole world could hear his screams of excitement. A very beautiful woman in a white dress with floral accents comes out to give Ruby these wonderful and glamorous dual-wielding swords. Once he picks them up they begin to evolve/transform. One of the blades obtains the dark blue pigment with shards of ruby embedded onto it. The following sword turned a pitch black sword where light immediately gets absorbed into it. "Damn man I must have been fated to become king. Let's see what you're gonna get Henry. Good luck you're really gonna need it" Ruby slyly remarked just to get under Henry's skin.
"Oh F*ck off Ruby. If we come out of this alive I'm definitely gonna go find Randy. You're an a$$hole."
-Henry this ain't Mushoku Tensai and you're not Rudy. If we're being honest I'm more similar to Rudy than you are. We have similar names, he uses magic while applying scientific concepts which i can probably replicate cuz I am a science nerd. Actually forget about it, just roll the wheel.
Hesitantly Henry does spin the wheel and lands on the very disappointing number of 9. This time on the other hand, an old decrepit old lady with ratty clothes pulls a small and used whip. The announcer shouts to the crowd " Well now they have their weapons but do you think it will be enough to fight this incredible beast. Well just have to see. Challengers,are you ready?" Ruby of course screams at the top of his lungs"HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH". The cage starts to open but now another cage encloses the arena, protecting the spectators
