>King Ulther POV
As soon as the light enveloped my whole body, I lost all my senses as I let myself get transported to the realm of Gods.
*Ziiiiim
As I opened my eyes all I saw was an infinite field of stars
'Whoa!'
I was startled seeing that I was not touching any surface at all whatsoever, this is a very bizarre phenomenon
I checked my body
'Nothing seems missing' a sigh of relief escapes my lips
Suddenly multiple light pillars started to appear in a circle, and one by one I saw the figures of my fellow rulers all seemingly startled and staring at the space.
"It seems that everyone is here"
Said a voice from above, as everyone in the room lifted their vision up, a look of reverence immediately replaced our current expression as all of us kneeled
""""We greet the God of Space, Lord Tempus"""" everyone present solemnly greeted
"At ease friends, we must make haste in proceeding with the roster selection"
Everybody returned standing in space intently looking towards their peers
"As all you may already know, the void seal is slowly breaking and it has been confirmed by some of you the presence of Altereds"
"Disaster is upon Foleria once again and a long old promise must be fulfilled today"
Lord Tempus paused as he scanned the selectors
"Before we start, I must inform some of you the rules of this engagement as half of the selectors are newblood"
Some of the rulers flinched at that statement
"Long ago, your champions and us Gods of Foleria made a promise to let you, rulers , to choose your champions as to facilitate an even distribution"
'Yeah...., It was a disaster when we didn't think about the distribution in the first war' I mused as the catastrophe of days of old sprung up within my mind
"You must keep in mind the suitability of their talents in the environment that they are going to be fighting in, as this will surely boost the survival of your territories"
A panel of a square with faces of several youths appeared in the center of the space
"These are your champions" Lord Tempus gestured towards the panel
"There are in total 30 of them hence only three each for the ten territories"
"They are currently in another space awaiting the results of this roster selection,...and in this panel before you, they have already been classified by their talent types"
The panel showed a column showing four divides, It read [Talent Types: Mystic, Physical, Mental, Null]
"Of course, their abilities will only manifest once they are on Foleria that is why no abilities are presented"
'Oh this is very convenient indeed, now we would be able to match their strengths with our respective Kingdoms'
"Now that's out of the way..., Friends! Let us start the selection" Lord Tempus claimed as he disappeared into space
The room instantly became cold, as everyone stared at each other
'Sigh what are these fools doing'
"If I may~, I would like our territory to have the first pick" said an elf lady with pointy ears, light brown hair and violet eyes
"Ohh so what is your reason that gives you that right huh?"
"Yeah, tell us why, In fact I think that I should have the first pick"
"Whoah slow down there merboy"
"What did you call me!?"
"What a bunch of fools, just get on with it already ~yawn~"
"I think that we must have first pick since we're the ones providing everybody with supplies" said a lady with a monocle.
'Oh Good Lord, this is no time for a petty competition you fools' I looked at everyone as my eyes descended upon a tall man
'..... Isn't tha-'
"I WILL HAVE FIRST PICK" a loud voice bellowed all over the space
Everyone was flustered at the intimidating energy behind the voice as each person knew who the man was
Adorning a black military jacket and a red blood cape hanging on his shoulders, he glared at everyone with his deep red eyes
*Gulp
"As to why I'm the first one to pick is solely because of the fact the I am the closest to our threat, once they breakthrough my Kingdom, it will be a piece of cake for those monsters to spread to the East, the West and more importantly in the center" he paused then he added.
"You maggots have the gull to argue around while I need to immediately train my champions to become real ones real fast,... so I suggest that all of shut up or else..." he glared intensely at everyone
"Or else wha-"
A heavy atmosphere instantly filled the space
"What fishboy, anything you got to say?"
"....."
"Hmmmph, useless f*ck" the man then proceeded in front of the panel
'Trandis Novue Irelia, this man is violent as always, the only good thing about him is his decisiveness honed through many battles'
As I thought that, Trandis was enveloped with a bright golden light, his body disappearing into thin air
'So he's finished, well good for him he's out of this hellhole of a gathering' I complained as observed the three blank space within the panel.
'Hmmmm one Mystic, one Physical and One Null..... that's an odd combination of Talent types huh'
'Well I should think about myself for now'
The selection soon restarted only with nine selectors left in space

Colt POV
Four golden light pillars inside a throne room, everyone inside was surprised at first but then they immediately got into position as they've realized the return of their King and the appearance of their champions
Soon three figures could be seen laying down the floor wearing unfamiliar clothes but the people in the palace all soon saluted the one man sitting on the throne.
"We greet his majesty for his safe return!"
"Yes I'm back"
'What the hell is all this noise... I wanna sleep damn it!' I shot up in surprise as I saw a strange man with a crown sitting on a throne staring right at me.
'Wha.. what the f*ck is happening.... wait is this the isekai thing, I thought that I was hallucinating at that time... wait! Rea! Ben!
I looked around me and relief soon filled my mind as I saw the twins both slowly waking up.
"Hmmmm... what where am I ?, huh Colt..! where's Ben!?" Rea hurriedly said
"He's right there" I pointed to the big man beside her
"Rea!" Ben suddenly sat up, he calmed down as soon as he saw his sister
"Where the hell... sigh at least you're safe and also you Colt"
"You just noticed me just now.., yeah you too man"
"Hmmmm seems that we can start our talk now champions"
The three of us looked towards the man or King in this case.
"Ummm where are we...si- I mean you're majesty?" I asked politely.
"You three have been summoned in the World of Foleria and I have chosen all of you as my Kingdom's champion"
"S-Summoned"
"Oh God! it was real" said Ben
Rea stared at the King.
"Umm you're majesty, are we going to be made to....fight something?"
"Oh! you're pretty sharp girl, Yes your mission would be to defend this place and eventually vanquish the Fallen God Aurelio from the void"
"You called us champions... what does that mean?"
"It means exactly that.. "champions", individuals of powers that can crush any foe. All of you have been granted powers beyond your imaginations"
'Sh*t! the cliché is real damn it, now we would have to risk our lives to kill a God! its not even a demon king?!'
'But wait....why are we', a foreboding sprang up within me.
"You're Majesty where are our other classmates because I was sure everyone was transported along with us"
Rea and Ben also realized the situation as emotions of worry became apparent.
"Oh your companions? They're still within God's realm and will soon be divided evenly to the remaining 9 major territories of Foleria and by the way I was the first one to get out there because the situation is urgent in this place hahahaha"
"Why.....is the situation urgent... scratch that! where are we?!" Rea shouted
The King stood up, showing off his blood red cape and his platinum hair and red eyes.
"Let me introduce myself champions, I am Trandis Novue Irelia, 44th King Of the military Kingdom of Irelia, the Sovereign of the Frontier!"
'''Frontier?! Oh Sh*t we're fucked!''' all three of us shouted within our poor little souls.
