Inside a big room with a giant circle with symbols drawn on the floor, 12 individuals are standing on it surrounded by multiple people in white robes, and right in front of them is a girl with golden hair and Sapphire blue eyes wearing a pink dress, welcomed them with a smile.
"You must all be very confused about the current situation, but if you follo-" Shiveria began trying to calm down the 12 youngsters, but was interrupted mid-sentence.
"You don't have to worry about that, we are well aware of why we're here. After all, the Gods themselves informed us." A young man declared with his orange hair that looks like a lion's mane and wild eyes with strong eyebrows to back that up, while the strong and muscular physique makes him stand out.
His clothes are just a casual shirt and jeans with runner shoes, while his expression was that of a warrior ready for battle. Being quite tall, the aura around him would easily make the weak step back.
"Yes, just take us to the Kin-" Another young man stepped forward but was immediately pulled back. His hair is light blue, his eyes light brown, and his physique slim and average.
"Why are you being so rude and casual? Didn't you hear? She's a princess!... I apologize for his uneducated behavior, your Royal uhm... Highness." One of the young women with brown hair, blue eyes and red glasses in the group said as she pulled the light blue-haired boy back, and made him bow towards the princess while doing the same.
This all happened relatively quickly, so Shiveria was left a bit shocked, but didn't take long for her to compose herself and respond.
"I see, all of you already seem to have an understanding of what is happening... But I still insist you follow me so that you can meet the King." Shiveria once again asks them to follow her.
This time they do as she asked and behind her, all 12 of them head towards the throne room.
Once they reach the throne room it has numerous guards and both the King and the Queen, stand on their thornes with the same lanky man from before standing right next to the King.
Shiveria stopped and bowed before the King and Queen, but the 12 people behind her didn't really move a muscle and we're just looking at the King.
"Hey! Show the King and Queen some respect!!" One of the guards dissatisfied yells at them, but was then stopped.
"No need to worry, they come from a different world. Their perspective and culture are bound to be different." The King signaled the guards to stand back and just observe for now.
Then he proceeded to continue speaking. "First I must congratulate you on a successful ceremony my daughter."
The guards, the lanky man, and the Queen all started clapping their hands after the King congratulated Shiveria until the King raised his hand to stop everyone.
"Now, I must welcome all 12... Wait, wasn't there supposed to be 13 of you?" The King had a smile on his face and was speaking with a voice that could easily be heard in the whole room, but then wrinkles formed on his forehead as he inquired about the number of heroes.
"...."
For a bit, absolute silence filled the room and no one let out a word, until the young man with orange hair stepped forward and explained.
"One of our companions didn't make it and died before even meeting the Gods." His expression is stale and serious as he calmly explains.
"I see, my condolences on your lost, but now I must continue. I'm Faroz 14th Raphinel the current king of Raphinel kingdom, this is my wife Luciani Pedol Raphinel and this is my second daughter princess Shiveria Raphinel." The King introduced himself and the members of his family present, then he continued.
"While the man beside me is Diago stroll, my personal advisor and as you imagine you are all in the Raphinel Kingdom in a world different from yours, our world, Origo. I'll now ask you one question, have you met with the Gods?" King Faroz looked at the adventurers with appraising eyes as he was trying to understand their nature.
The same orange-haired young man from before answered. "We have indeed met the Gods, and they told us a little about what's going on."
"Then I won't have to say much, as you all know you're now in Origo our world. The reason we brought you here is that there's a coming invasion by beings from another world, that was foretold by the Oracle. So we will do what's in our power to compensate you for your loss, but we had no other choice." Faroz declared with a saddened expression and tone.
"We heard from the Gods, that here we will receive special abilities and even be much stronger than average people. How can we know that for sure?" The young man with orange hair once again speaks to the King.
This time the one answering wasn't the King, but Shiveria.
"That is of course with the use of the status appraisal sphere." She says as guards bring a small pedestal with a sphere on top of it.
"This device will analyze you and display your status with all your abilities and then we will know what you are capable of doing. All you have to do is touch it and relax." She added.
____________________________________________
In the middle of a room full of armed guards, me and 11 other people are now talking to a King, a Queen, and a princess... There's even some weird adviser guy... All of this sounds like something you'd read in some cliche fantasy novel, but right now before my eyes, it's all happening and I still can't believe it.
It doesn't make any sense, we were all chosen to be part of the first group of people to experience the new generation of VR(Virtual reality) technology developed by Booba software, but then we wake up in an all-white room and some voices there told us they were the Gods of a world different from ours called Origo...
The experience blew my mind and got me excited after all the isekai stories I read, if I play it right, I might become the greatest figure in this world, but that will completely depend on what special ability I get, so I'm waiting for the moment we discover that.
After talking to the Gods we decided that Axel would be our representative in this conversation with the King, and so the others stood silent letting him talk. Axel Lord, he was the first person to be chosen by Booba soft and the others seem to see him as some sort of leader, and as for me, I don't care about that, I'm more interested to see what this world has to offer.
Apparently one of the girls that were with us in Booba soft did make it to this world and they are still mourning her, by that logic shouldn't they be mourning the guy with pink hair as well? According to the Gods, that guy wasn't even chosen to be one of the Heroes, what an unlucky guy. It seems none of them care about him, it's kind of expected after that awkward discussion the moment we meet him.
When the King said that this world was going to be invaded by another one, I confess I was still disgusting the idea even after the Gods told us beforehand. I hope whatever it is, I'm at least able to protect myself.
Then the Princess ordered some guards to bring in what she called the status appraisal sphere on a pedestal. It's finally time for me to know what I can do in this world.
At that moment the 12 of us grouped up and a discussion about who would go first broke out.
"So, does anyone in specific want to go first?" Axel asked and as it seems, he's some sort of leader to these people.
"Why don't we just test if we really are stronger than normal on the guards?" A girl with half her hair dyed dark blue asked with a smirk, if I'm not wrong her name is Iamfo, Iamfo Olish.
Such a stupid name could only be a username. According to what the Gods said, our names were changed to the names we choose as usernames for Project Origo, the game Booba soft was making, and the one we were going to beta test. But considering that situation I'm actually surprised she's the only one with a very stupid name.
"Iamfo, we've discussed the whole trying to rebel thing before. We don't know anything about this place aside from the simple things that were told to us, so we can't do that." A brown-haired girl with red glasses said. Her name's Naime Potter and she couldn't see through Iamfo's sarcasm.
"It's said Lamfo not Iamfo and I was being sarcastic, you can't take everything so seriously." Iamfo corrects Naime on her assumptions.
"Regardless, now's not the time to joke about something like that, you should be focused on helping decide who goes first." Naime responded.
Before that Iamfo could make more of a fuss with Naime, Axel stopped both and someone else spoke.
"I believe, I'm the indicated person to go first, considering I'll probably have among the best if not the best abilities out of all of us." the person now speaking is a guy with light blue hair and light brown eyes, Ashley Dulce, the same guy who almost got us in trouble the moment we got here if Naime didn't stop him, this guy would most likely have made things harder for us.
Some of us rolled our eyes while others just stood silent.
"Since no one else seems to want to go first, Ashley you can go." Axel decided and nobody cared to oppose.
With that Ashey walked towards it and touched the status appraisal sphere and it began to shine bright, then a big floating screen appeared right before everyone's eyes, and I would finally get a glimpse of how the power is measured in this world and where I stand in it.

I was looking through Ashley's status just like everyone else and I couldn't help but wonder how good it is.
"Amazing! He's ten times stronger than your average soldier and 20 times stronger than your average adult! At level 1... Heroes are truly impressive." The King's adviser that was quiet up until now finally spoke.
Great! That means I have great chances of having a good start.
"As expected, I'm well above common." Ashley started bragging and I ignored him, but then something that put a smile on my face happened.
