Scene – Inside the royal palace.
Tanishk stood silently in front of the throne. Beside him were Kasama and Bichu. The king sat on the throne, and soldiers stood around the hall. Everyone looked tense. The atmosphere was heavy.
Tanishk: “So… what will happen to me now?”
King Maza: “We summoned you into this world. Even though you’re of no real use to us, we can’t send you back either. So, you may stay in this kingdom as long as you wish. We’ll provide you with money to live on.”
Tanishk: “One question… will you summon the next hero now?”
Kasama: “That’s not possible right now. Our summoners have just summoned you. They can’t perform another hero summoning for at least a year.”
Tanishk: “So summoning a hero is difficult?”
Kasama: “Yes.”
Tanishk (thinking): Hmm… even if I had more than one element, defeating him would still be nearly impossible. He’s not just powerful… he’s overpowered.
King Maza: “You may leave now.”
Tanishk: “But… where should I go?”
King Maza: “Kasama will arrange a house for you inside the city.”
Tanishk: “Thank you, my king.” [He bows respectfully.]
Scene – Corridor.
Kasama and Tanishk walk together through the palace halls.
Tanishk: “Since I’ll be living in this world for a while, could you tell me more about it?”
Kasama: “Of course. This planet is called Earth.”
Tanishk (thinking): Wow… same name as my planet.
Kasama: “There are three main kingdoms — the Elf Kingdom, the Human Kingdom, and the Beast Kingdom. Each kingdom has many cities and villages. Besides them, there are two independent territories not ruled by any kingdom — the Demon Territory and the Dragon Territory.”
Tanishk: “I see.”
Kasama: “By the way, don’t tell anyone that you’re a summoned hero.”
Tanishk: “Okay… but why?”
Kasama: “You see, you’re no longer a hero. You’re weak, and there’s a chance the previous hero or other people might attack you.”
Tanishk: “I see…”
Scene – Inside the city.
Kasama and Tanishk walk through the streets.
Kasama: “This is Kundan City.”
Tanishk: “It’s quite beautiful.”
The city had houses, shops, hotels, restaurants, and some tall buildings — though none were very high.
Tanishk: “The air here feels so pure. Compared to where I came from, this place is much calmer. The weather’s really nice too.”
Kasama: “I see.”
Scene – After some time.
They stop in front of a two-floor wooden and concrete house.
Kasama: “Tanishk, this is your house. You can stay here.”
Tanishk: “Thank you. But what should I do now?”
Kasama: “Hmm, there are many things you can do — open a shop, join some kind of guild, or explore the city. Find something you enjoy.”
Tanishk: “Good idea. Thank you.”
Kasama: “Then, I’ll take my leave.”
Kasama walks away. Tanishk enters the house.
Scene – Inside the house.
It’s clean and well-furnished — with a sofa, lights, and other essentials. Tanishk sits down, his face filled with sadness and confusion.
Tanishk (thinking deeply):
Haah… what are Mom and Dad doing right now? Does time flow the same here as on Earth? How long has it been since I disappeared? They must be so worried… but there’s nothing I can do. Still… what should I do here?
If this were an anime, someone in my place would probably train hard and become strong… maybe even find a way back. But me? I don’t think I’ll look for a way home. Who knows how much time has passed on Earth already? Ahh… I don’t know what to do anymore…
Tanishk lies down on the sofa.
Tanishk: “Hmm… I could train myself, but for what? To kill Hera? No, that’s not my role anymore. Should I just live a normal life? Nah… I already lived a normal life on Earth. Now that I’ve been isekai’d… I’ll live an extraordinary life! Okay… I’ve decided!”
He stands up suddenly, eyes burning with determination.
Tanishk: “I’ll train myself and become powerful! My power is ground element, right? Hmm… what can I do with it? Hehehe…” [A slightly eerie grin spreads on his face.]
“I can do a lot.”
He heads toward the storeroom and into one corner.
Tanishk: “My skill is ground-type… can I do this?”
He places his hand on the wall — and the surrounding area vanishes into the ground.
Tanishk: “Wow! But wait… anyone can probably do this, right?” [Sudden realization.]
He uses his power to create a secret underground room beneath the storeroom — a large, flat area deep below.
Tanishk: “It took a while, but it’s done. I’ll train here from now on. Let’s see…”
He picks up stones from the ground and forms a stone golem.
Tanishk: “Nice! Let’s practice.”
He begins practicing combat — improving his movements and control over ground power.
Scene – Inside the royal palace, in the king’s hall.
Bichu and King Maza are talking.
Bichu: “My king, are you sure we shouldn’t have told that hero the truth?”
Maza: “Yes. If we told him, he might have lost all hope.”
Bichu: “But my king, we should’ve at least told him that because he has only one element, he won’t be able to join any guild.”
Maza: “Yes, I know. It’s extremely rare — almost impossible — to be born with only one elemental power.”
Bichu: “Indeed, my king. That’s why I didn’t say anything back then.”
Maza: “Let him believe that having one element doesn’t matter. At least then, he’ll stay calm.”
Bichu: “But my king, when he goes to the guild, he’ll find out eventually.”
Maza: “That’s exactly what worries me… but for now, he has enough money to live comfortably for three or four months. There shouldn’t be any problem for a while.”
Bichu: “Hmm… I see.”
Both fall silent, concern visible on their faces. The king sits back on his throne, lost in thought, while Bichu stands quietly beside him.
