None of us know much about this place. Let's share what we know. Shall we start with introductions? Does anyone have a different opinion?
The group stayed quiet. The man smiled and began speaking.
I'm Lyle, 34 years old, a carpenter from Edora with a wife and two daughters. I can't remember why I'm here. Now, who's next?
I'm Grete, 32, a former street vendor from Halsea. I'm clueless about why I'm here too.
Others followed, introducing themselves clockwise. They had various ages and professions like merchants, loggers, carpenters, blacksmiths, coachmen, hunters, and butchers.
They were dressed in unfamiliar rough clothing and spoke of professions and terms I had never heard before. I was also from Taonia, but my clothes were similar to theirs, not my usual sweatpants.
Unlike Shay, they appeared to have no knowledge of the current situation.
Regardless, my expectations were correct.
These individuals are not from Earth. It seems that they are natives of a continent called Townia, as referred to by Iselle. While there are humans there as well, their civilization appears to be much less advanced compared to Earth. Out of the eleven of us, I am the only one from Earth.
The introductions of the people gathered in the square have concluded.
From their introductions, all we could gather was that they had no recollection of how they arrived here. Lyle asked multiple times if anyone remembered, but no one, including himself, had any knowledge.
This is quite embarrassing.
Lyle stroked his beard and wore a troubled expression. However, he quickly regained his composure and revived the atmosphere among the people, as if to say, "When has that ever happened?"
Shall we begin by exploring this place? It may be unsafe to wander alone, so let's form groups of four, three, and three.
"What are you saying, old man!"
As expected, she made her appearance.
Iselle sprinkled stardust as she circled above us.
The Master is causing a disturbance in the space-time continuum. Be prepared for a battle!
You, you?
I'm Iselle, the fairy in charge here! Don't complain if you don't want trouble.
Out of nowhere, a man named Molmont appeared.
I narrowed my eyes. Molmont was the only one with two stars among us. He used to be a mercenary, he claimed. He was dressed in worn leather armor and had a sword at his side.
Check status.
I said, examining Molmont.
[Molmont Karl () Lv. 1 (Exp 0/10)]
[Class: Novice]
[Strength: 14/14]
[Intelligence: 10/10]
[Stamina: 12/12]
[Dexterity: 12/12]
[Skills: Novice Swordsmanship (Lv.1)]
His stats were decent. His intelligence, usually only useful for mages, was at 10. Compared to the 1-star characters who start with all stats at 10, he was better off.
Molmont stepped forward and asked.
Did you bring us here?
Who do you think you are, causing chaos like this!
Swish...
Molmont raised his sword, ready to strike Iselle.
Iselle smirked, and Molmont's head suddenly exploded.
[Molmont () has returned to the embrace of the goddess. His determination will be remembered forever.]
Instant death!
[Sign Suicide due to stress]
[Tips: Heroes can become tired, fall into depression, or panic. Reduce their stress levels! Provide resting places and toys for your heroes. It can prevent unexpected deaths.]
Thud.
Molmont's headless body collapsed.
Kyaaaah!
What, what the hell! He's dead? He's dead! What is this!
Iselle warned, "If you want to stay alive, keep quiet. Touch me and you'll regret it. It's self-defense. Understand?"
Iselle waved her hand, blood splattering. With her delicate hands, she crushed the head of a grown man in an instant.
Suicide due to stress?
Does that seem like suicide to you?
Ugh, ugh, ugh!
Some people with weak stomachs vomited and fainted.
I felt sick too. A human corpse lay right in front of me.
I couldn't help but clench my teeth.
I desperately tried to hold onto my crumbling sanity.
[Create a party.]
[Select your heroes!]
[Lyle () has joined Party 1!]
[Ranto () has joined Party 1!]
[Marlin () has joined Party 1!]
[Kelkeld () has joined Party 1!]
[Jackson () has joined Party 1!]
[It has begun.]
[Open, rift in space-time!]
The door at the front of the square slowly opened.
What's going on? What is this?
Calm down! Take a deep breath, Miss Fairy! So, why did you call us? If you need something, just let us know!
Lyle stammered as he asked Iselle.
Iselle covered her ears with her fingers and spoke.
[What do I want? Listen carefully, fight well, win well. That's all. Easy, right?]
Well, what should we do then?
[Step forward when your name is called. Lyle, Ranto, Marlin, Kelkeld, Jackson!]
What if we don't want to?
[If you want to end up like that guy, then stay back.]
Iselle pointed at the headless corpse.
Reluctantly, the five of them stepped forward.
[Now, line up. Do you see that door over there? Go inside.]
Wait a moment!
I spoke up.
[You again! What do you want now!]
Of course, you want to climb the tower too, don't you?
Iselle's face twisted in a mix of emotions.
It seemed like she was on the verge of bursting into laughter. If not, there would have been no reason for her to be upset when the master lost Shay. She might have even sneered.
[What's the big deal?]
The Master also drew weapons. We were all 1-star heroes. We didn't even have basic weapons. You're not planning on sending us on a suicide mission, are you?
[Alright, hold on a second!]
Iselle vanished in a puff of smoke.
[Master, the heroes are unarmed.]
[Would you like to summon equipment before setting off on the adventure for smoother battles?]
[Tips: Heroes without weapons will fight with worn iron swords (F). If you place equipment in the armory, heroes will automatically equip them. You can also choose the weapons to give them. Get the equipment ready. Don't forget!]
Another one of Iselle's predictions came true.
Iselle had the ability to manipulate system messages.
Following Iselle's instructions, Anytng went to the summoning station and began summoning immediately.
Summoning Equipment.
Summoning equipment.
Summon once for 5,000 gold.
Summon ten times for 50,000 gold.
Master, beginning the consecutive summoning of 10 equipment.
Click, click, click.
Rattle!
Master Anytng has obtained an Iron Sword (E+)!
Master Anytng has obtained a Crude Bow (E-)!
Master Anytng has obtained.
