Act 1: Ordinary Day

———

*ring* *ring* *Ri- WACK*

Mmm I wonder if I should go to school today, it is a Friday and there's not much work to be done...

Should I call in sick? I do have a mild stomach ache...

I've also finished most of my schoolwork before hand... maybe I can get away with it.

"GET YOUR ASS UP! YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"

Fuck it, today's the last day before summer break, maybe this day will be a good one.

"Morning mom, Mornin dad, Mornin dumbass." - Jin

Mom was frying bacon, dad was watching the news in the living room as my sister passed by looking all cheeky while still in her Pyjamas going back to her room.

That little shit was skipping school and faking being sick!

"Good morning Jin! Come sit down and eat quickly or you'll be late!" - mom

"What's up with her?" - Jin

"Your sister said she wasn't feeling too well, so I'll just let her stay home today." - Dad

He leans close to my ear and mumbled.

"I know she's faking it, but if I force her to go, your mom will kill me! You understand right, Jin?!" - Dad

Weak ass, you should've made her walk to school in her pyjamas, no wonder she gets away with being annoying all the time.

I love my mom and dad dearly, but I'm still left wondering why they've never raised my little sister the way they raised me!

———

"I'm heading off!" - Jin

"Come give me a hug before you leave!" - mom

"I'm just going to school mom, I'll be back later" - Shin

"Nope! I need to know that my little boy still loves mommy!"

"I'm 17..."

Fine! Arghh I can never say no to this woman no matter what.

I gave my mom a hug and ran off, this morning felt like I've already been through an entire day.

My name is Jin Agami, I'm 17 years old and currently going to high-school. I'm not that popular in class, but I wouldn't say that I was a complete loner either.

My 3 closest friends, that I've known since childhood, are the type of friends who would stick with me through thick and thin, I can always rely on them to have my back, but unless there were ever to be a girl involved, they'll forget about me even if I was hanging with one hand on a cliff.

They're quite the stereotypical Otaku types since all they ever do is talk about manga and anime, or which female characters has the best ass, or thighs, it'll eventually end up in a loud argument about how one is superior than the other.

Faithless heretics, the lot of them, they wouldn't understand the true beauty of fit tomboys even if I kept on preaching about their superiority.

Aside from everything else, I never have really tried to stand out much, I'd say my looks are pretty average at best, my personality is as plain as a white piece of paper, and I've never really had any interests or hobbies.

But I could say that I've got one particular talent, which is always being a little above average in everything that I do with very little effort.

I've kept an average of 90% average on all my tests and grade scores

I've picked up many hobbies in the past, drawing, sports, music, cooking, etc...

Every single one, I've always received praises, I have never failed in doing anything before.

None of them interested me though, so eventually I just gave up on finding a passion and ended up spending my free time reading manga and playing video games.

I've never really understood why, but just living outside of reality can be really addicting.

There is a satisfying feeling of experiencing the lives of fantasy protagonists, their hardships and them overcoming challenges. Things that the average person in reality could never experience themselves like, going on adventures in another world with a harem of beautiful busty women, fighting demons and gods with powers that they've easily acquired, or even flying around in space and exploring different worlds with advanced technology.

Makes me wonder if I'm late for class or not since for some reason I've had a really long internal monologue.... !!

———

Haah nothing interesting happened today! I'm finally going home~ home~

I wonder if I should stop by the bakery to get some cake for dessert tonight. I can tease my sister and not share any with her! Heheheh

Just as I was walking, my attention caught on to a loud trio of high-school students walking in my opposite direction.

There were a pair of girls and a guy, who was squished in between them, lucky bastard...

The scene I saw was one that was straight outta a generic harem slice of life manga!

"He's coming with me! He promised! You did didn't you, Daichi?!" Girl A, which had unusually long hair and a mad look in her eyes yelled at the other one while pulling on the guy's left arm.

"I've never heard him say anything to you! I bet he'd rather spend time with me! Isn't that right, Daichi?" Girl B... wait isn't that the student council prez?

On second thought, the guy looks miserable, I'd pass being in his shoes. Poor son of a bitch.

"MINE!" "No, MINE!" "You BITCH!" "Ugly sow!" It's getting really heated ahahah... I should've taken the longer way home.

Suddenly, Girl A threw a punch at Prez, but it landed on Daichi's face, and now he's knocked out cold. PFFFT HAH!

They both looked surprised and started blaming each other, oh no, they're getting at it again and it's starting to look pretty intense!

"Hey! You two, stop!" I ran towards them trying to break up the cat fight.

"C'mon! Ow! Hey! The he- *wack* stop hitting me!" I pulled on both of their collars and they're still acting like stray cats fighting over a can of tuna.

"Get your ass outta this Jin! I gotta fight this bitch!" Prez shouted at me still trying to throw punches at the other girl.

Daichi was still laying pathetically on the sidewalk, how long is he planning on sleeping there and not help me?

While trying to subdue the two, I wasn't able to notice something weird happening underneath all four of us.

A bright blue light began appearing out of nowhere.

———

"O' welcome brave warriors from another world!" - unknown

A king... no, more like a person-like pig in fancy robes and crown, squeezed into a throne too small for its size. It seemed to be squealing something in strange tongue.

"Argh!" - Jin

Everything was blurry, my head wringing and my entire body felt as if it was in a pressurized vacuum, I couldn't move a single muscle in my body.

I saw prez and the other two lying besides me, they seemed to be in a similar state.

"Oh? There seems to be one more than expected…" - unknown

"Ahaha! That's quite alright! The more heroes we have, the more powerful our forces would be!" - unknown

My vision started to clear and I could see more unfamiliar faces in the room.

Besides the king was a mysterious figure dressed in red robes, their face was covered by an oversized hood. On their left hand held a strangely skewed looking staff with an ornament attached to the tip.

He's a magician!

"Ah.. what's going on? Where are we?" - Daichi

"Fret not, chosen hero… you are in the holy temple under the goddess' protection." - Mage

"This one's a real cutie isn't he? Heheheh" he whispered under his breath with lecherous intent right after his dialogue.

Oh.. he's a perverted old man… who's also a magician!

To be continued.
