The light was fading as I slowly came to my senses. I looked around and was now in a large room. It was shining and the walls were covered with beautiful tapestry. Then I finally noticed that people were watching us. Among them, the one who was the most remarkable and who was imposing himself with his presence, was a man with a white beard and sitting on what seemed to be a throne. And the person on his right started to speak.
"The invocation was a success my king." Informed the man in a beautiful black dress holding a stick.
"Well done Moïse. He said before turning to us. Welcome to you heroes of another world. You must surely be troubled by the events. I am the King of the Kingdom of Sigma. We have summoned you because we need your help."
"This is serious, we have been summoned to another world!"
"I want to go home." Said a girl a little upset by the news
"Unfortunately we can't send you home. We can't send people home who have been summoned." (King)
Anger began to rise in me. This asshole was telling us that he knew he couldn't send us home. And yet he did it, he played with our lives.
"Hey tell me are you fucking with us?" (Logan)
"How dare you talk to the King like that!" (Moïse)
The guards in the room pointed their weapons at us.
"Logan shut up!" Said a classmate on seeing the reaction of the guards
"No!"
"You didn't hear what we said! Shut the fuck up!"
"Shut up Shawn this asshole dared to play with our lives and you tell me to shut up!" (Logan)
"If you're not happy I can still beat the shit out of you." (Shawn)
"It's been three years since you've martyred me but I can't remember the moment I fucked my eyes in front of you."
"Your bitch sister did it right though." (Shawn)
"I'm going to kill you." (Logan)
"Don't make me laugh orphan." (Shawn)
Suddenly a pressure crushed us.
"I ask you to listen to me." The king said in a firm tone.
I looked the bastard straight in the eye and the pressure increased in return.
"My patience has limits young man." (King)
Blood began to pour from my nose, my vision flickered and I had to put my head down to avoid losing consciousness.
Everyone looked at me with contempt and theirs eyes told me to stop causing trouble. Then the king spoke again:
"Some time ago dungeons started to appear in our vast country. The appearance of these dungeons has stimulated the activity of all monsters. We need you to complete these dungeons and eradicate the monsters beacause they are endangering our kingdom." (King)
"And how are we supposed to fight these monsters?" Asked a young brunette girl named Emma.
"People summoned from another world are given many exceptional abilities. As well as professions and titles. " (King)
"How we can see that?" (Shawn)
"First of all, say status, it should appear before you." (King)
With such a simple explanation, everyone's voices rang out at the same time. Except me who didn't want to play at this game, then a crystal ball was brought to us.
" I ask you to put your hands on it in turn so that we can see your status." (Moïse)
Shawn stepped forward with a smile on his face and a sense of confidence. He placed his hand on it and a map appeared from the ball. There was information on the card and everyone in the room exclaimed.
There were 20 of us in the class and people kept showing their status. Professions like: Witch, Fighter, Shaper, Knight, Dragon Rider, Barbarian, Priest, Magic Swordsman, Warrior.
Then before my turn came I checked my status.
"What, what does that mean? " I thought as I looked at my status. (Logan)
"It's your turn." (King)
I was pulled out of my thoughts and everyone was looking at me. Most of them had all gotten very good profession as well as abilities. And I finally put my hand on the ball.
Laughter began to rise in the room. The only person who looked at me and cared about me was Maïli. My best friend who was the only person I could count on.
"Ahh, ahh even here you're still a loser." (Shawn)
"Leave him alone Shawn!" (Maïli)
"You have to admit, it's not glorious." He laughed again (Meverick)
The king started to speak again:
"All of you who have been called will be taken care of by the kingdom. You will be trained, housed and paid handsomely, even treated like kings. You will represent the new strength of this kingdom. " (King)
Those who were afraid were now attracted by the life of luxury that was promised to them here. Wealth, land, possessions, women, they would be treated like princes.
"Where is the exit? " (Logan)
Everyone turned to me.
"It's true that given your status you can't help us in any way. In other words, you are useless. "Said the king not hiding his mockery. (King)
He snapped his fingers and a guard walked towards me with a bag in his hand.
"Here is a compensation for the inconvenience caused." (King)
The bag of coins flew up and then the sound of the coins falling on the ground rang out.
"I don't want your money! Just take me to the exit." (Logan)
"You! You're disrespecting the king again!" (Moïse)
"Let, guard escort him to the exit as he requests." (King)
While he was being escorted Logan spoke.
"I will destroy you all one by one!"(Logan)
"I'd like to see how." (Shawn)
"You should have taken that money." (Meverick)
"It's really ungrateful." Said another girl named Malika.
"Don't come back crying to us for help."(Emma)
Logan was led out the door.
"My king? My king?" (Moïse)
"Didn't that boy just now turn his eyes red?" (King)
Logan is an orphan born with a genetic anomaly that gives his eyes the color red. Taken in by a benevolent family, his life will change dramatically. And he will be called to discover a new world invoked by it. As a hero? Certainly not, he will now follow his own path.
