1 Ikite Iruga Wasure Rarete Iru

"My name is Hiromi Yoshimura I'm a 22-year-old with a slender build with short wavey black hair that back over my eyes which are also black, I never saw the reason to fix my hair or cut it in that matter. I have a habit of not doing things of caring about things that are useless.im a junior in collage and a prestigious collage mind you, only 10 percent of the country gets to go to this collage. Do I have family? That's a touchy subject for me, see me and my mom where was very poor so I had to do good in school if I ever wanted to get my family out of what you may call ghetto. It got to the point to where my mom started selling her body and sleeping with other men just to get by and pay for our living expenses, so I was often pick on and bullied in school for how far behind the times I was. My mom shunned me blaming me for some of our hardships we had saying that if I was not born that my father would not have thrown us out for another women, then she married into another mans family where she had gave birth to my sister and cared for here much to my surprise, you see my mother didn't tell my new father about me she kept me a secret saying she didn't want me to ruin any of their lives anymore so she kicked me out and cut all contact only leaving me the rundown apartment and money to keep my mouth shut and I obeyed. My sister is a freshmen in high school apparently from what I hear from my mom she is smarter and kinder and has more potential than me she was not a home wrecker she said, but don't worry I stopped caring about them and everyone else some time ago and just did what benefacted me which is probably why I don't have friends or a girlfriend in that matter they just got in the way and just did something if they wanted something from people. As far as anyone was concerned, I didn't exist only a cog in this wheel we call life. Am I disappointed? No. am I sad? No. am I happy? No. I stopped feeling them since they were useless. One day that all changed, I was studying as usual at my desk when I got a message on my phone, I opened the message app to see I had to answer a few questions. Are you happy? No. do feel your life has value? No. will your family miss you if you died disappear right now? A little scared I answered honestly, no. as I finished the questions, I closed my phone and put it back on the desk. When I did the room was engulfed in a blinding light.

After my vision adjusted to my surroundings, I saw that I was in a room full of what looked like soldiers they had blue and grey metal armor that had what looked like a lighting crest that had a curve at the end of the lighting. There was also a woman and a hooded man behind her.

???- "greetings hero my name is Naito Yuka and im the princess of this country and also the one who summoned you I'm pretty sure you have a lot of questions as to why you are here and what happened and what's going on, but rest assured that we mean you no ill will the great god Ishibashi has surely summoned you hear for a reason, now please follow me"

Confused I follow surprised that they could understand Japanese, I had a lot of questions, but held as the princess had asked fearing what the guards would do if I disobeyed. I followed her down the corridor and into a long hallway that led to many rooms, but I didn't see any people or anything. We had stopped at two giant wooden doors and took a left where we entered a giant room where there was again no one but two chairs and one man sitting at the end of the room he was huge about 8 feet tall with a bulky figure you could see through is blue robes, he had white long hair and rough beard to match with shockingly blue eyes I could tell that this man has seen many battles and where the princess got her looks also having a thick figure with long white hair and blue eyes but where was the queen. I guessed that this was the throne room. That's when the man in the chair spoke.

???- "you may rise, and hello summoned hero, I am glad Ishibashi has led you to be summoned here today. I am king Takano suichi the 4th of kingdom bethlom capital of runic country, now I wish to know your name hero."

Hiromi- "my name is Yoshimura Hiromi I came from a world called earth and im from Tokyo, Japan if I may ask why exactly am I here and why summon me?"

Takano- "you were led here by Ishibashi to help this kingdom in its time of need and fight to protect the king and queen you are a servant of sort. As for why specifically you that I don't know you have to decide that for yourself im pretty sure he has spoken to you in some sort of fashion, but for now ill answer any of your questions."

I continued to ask the king questions apparently there are 5 great countries runic being the most powerful, atome their allies also home to some of the most power full mages, lasotan also their allies home to some of the most powerful warriors most soldiers come from their to make a name for themselves, yutomi their enemies a country of demons and powerful, and lastly fedlin a peaceful beast men country mostly used for trade between countries. In this world the runic country and their allies have been at war with yutomi for 10 years apparently they summoned some one just like they did with me and corrupted her and twisted her to do their bedding also since I was summoned I have rare capabilities and powers that only a hero would have, as for what they are I don't know.

Takano- "tomorrow at the break of dawn will go with kuse Ryo our top warrior to town and be equipped with gear and immediately join our ranks, I know im asking a lot of you but please help save our country and defeat the other hero then perhaps the god Ishibashi will grant you passage back to your world."

I had a lot more questions for the king but didn't want to be a nuisance so instead followed the other soldiers out of the room. I asked one of the soldiers outside the throne room if he could escort me to the library, I wanted to go to the library since the library is where most of my questions was going to get answered. As we turned down hallways we made it. The soldiers said that since I was a hero that I should have access to the imperial library all I had to do was touch the door and walked off waving goodbye. I touched the door and it glowed blue before opening it self as if it was inviting me in. I was amazed there was thousands of books and about 400 rows of books. How could this room hold so many books? I walked up to a random book and a weird marking appeared on my hand and I instantly knew all the info in the book without even taking the book all the way off the shelf. I guessed that this was one of the abilities I gained since becoming a hero. I could know the info of any book with just a single touch. I spent the whole day running and dragging my hand across books knowing all I can. I learned all the history of this country, secret arts, magic , and alchemy, but there was no books on military or combat strategies, there was fighting books yeah but no army books no generals in history, nothing which was odd how could a country be so powerful without fighting? My thinking was cut off by the god forbidden headache that I had received for taking in all the info so fast and ended up making me pass out at the desk.

???- "the library desk is not a good place to sleep you know I could've caught you off guard and killed you, you know"

I opened my eyes to see who had awoke me to find it was a women about 5,6" with purple short hair and golden eyes with a slim but fit build.

Hiromi – "sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep I just wanted to collect all the info of this world that I could and maybe some info as to ways to get back home. Why are there no army of military books in here? Have you guys never been to war before?"

???- "of course there's been wars as for why there are no books of it that I don't know. My name is Ryo by the way I was supposed to accompany you today."

I carefully looked at her I could tell she was hiding something but I didn't want to get into it as I felt Id open some weird thing about politics or something about me being a newcomer an outsider so to speak, but I didn't feel like digging for more info as I deemed it useless so we just continued.

After some time pasted we started walking through the town it was me, Ryo, and about 2 other guards. The town was odd It was empty no people and quiet only the beautiful brick roads and buildings which was even more odd how could a town so great even with the king here be empty? As pondering on my thoughts I failed to notice we had stopped I ended up bumping into Ryo apologizing I continued.

Hiromi – "Ryo why is the town so empty and quiet?"

Ryo- "I don't probably a national order or something, but this is our first stop this is the forge this is where we will get your equipment and weapons to fit, the king will pay for your start fees so choose something to your liking."

I looked around the place, I saw some awesome looking gear but none to my liking but after searching for about 20 min I found what I guess what was suited for me. It was clad black with blue accents on the armor it was light easy for me move around in I told Ryo that this was the one I wanted.

Ryo- "really that armor? Did you not want one of the more useful armor one that was more heavy and more protective and a weapon to match to make you stand out all so some armor comes with a few skills as far as I know these do not come with skills?"

Hiromi- "no I don't like to stand out and this weapon is one im familiar with in my world its called a tanto even though its longer then a official one Ill be fine."

After thanking the employee and Ryo we made our way through the town. Time went by we was in front of what Ryo called a guild hall the guards opened the door up to again more oddness it was empty. How again I thought.

Hiromi – "why is it empty?"

Ryo- "I don't know something must be up we'll find out later for now lets continue on"

I again had suspicion that she was hiding something but didn't dwell on it. Ryo asked the lady at the front to bring her something, when she returned she had two palm sized balls in here hand they were both clear.

Ryo- "these balls will display the skills and level you are currently, all you need to do is touch these and we'll decide where you'll be in our ranks to start."

Taking her word for it I touched the two balls one displayed levels and the other projected skills, on one of the balls lit up and displayed a two zeros and the other showed my skills along with a lot of question marks there was two that stood out one was all knowing which I guessed helped with the books and the other one which is the most dangerous one which was my class that says kishin. The two women looked at each other as I assumed they didn't know what this kishin was and what was a level zero zero apparently it was a first for both. I was shaking I knew what kishin was in Japanese it translated to demon god. What the hell is this I kept thinking while keeping what it meant to myself.

As we returned to the palace we was greeted by the princess, she ran up to us to say that there was a emergency and that yutomi was plotting a ambush on the capital, after hearing this we quickly got to the king to hear his orders.

Takano- "we got word from our spies that the demon country is plotting an ambush by morning. I send the summoned hero and 10,000 troops to the field to the west of here with the hero at command."

Hiromi- "WHAT! I only arrived here and yet you want me to risk my life already for people I don't even know hell I don't even know what I want to do you call me hero but I had no choice in that matter only asked a few non important questions did I want to leave my world for a new one? No. do I want to die for this country or you? No."

Takano- "WHY YOU LI-"

Yuka- " I understand hero and I could not comprehend what you are going through and what thoughts are going through your head but I promise that we would not send you into combat so soon unless it called for it but we need you now please I beg and I also after this first battle I will personally reward you with my hand in marriage dubbing you prince of this country and more access on research and books on summons so that you may return to your world."

Hiromi- "fine stop the ambush and then get a chance to go back home right? Fine ill do it but better keep your end of the bargain."

Takano- " as do you. Leave immediately to the fields and good luck hero"

Hiromi- "wait no more info? How many medics are we given? How many troops do they have?"

Takano- "we must make haste hero, I have given you 10,000 troops 100 of them are medics and the enemy forces have 1,000 troops, no time for more questions, at this time you move out at once."

With that we was ordered to prepare I found it odd, how I had so little info on the ambush, but the king would not answer anymore of my questions. I asked Ryo why she was not ordered to come with us, she shrugged her shoulders as always saying she doesn't know.

About five hours later I was on the field filled with soldiers and medic tents, I asked one of the soldiers where the generals tent was he replied that there wasn't one.

Hiromi- " what how is there not a general?"

Soldier-" why would there be a general for a practice, all 10,000 of us are recruits and so are the medics so relax when we are done with this practice we will be rich and living in the capital."

That's when I realized that this world was the same as the last nothing but hell for me, I have been setup from the beginning, first no one in town then no one with the king in the throne room and the lack of info for the military and army strategies. It was to see if I was a worthy summon and if I was strong enough they would keep me in their eyes I was use less along with my unknown skills so I was out casted with the recruits to blame me for their deaths if I didn't die on the battle field. Just as I figured it out the camp was erupted with screams. I looked in horror as the camp was engulfed in flames bodies turning to ash the moment they was covered in the fire, that's when she appeared the princess killing her own people and next to her was Ryo chopping off the heads of the dead to make sure they stayed that way while killing some her self they wiped out the whole army as I was in the back to they way to get to here was to kill everyone else. The princess and Ryo was wearing demon armor the ones I saw I saw in the books I had touched but you couldn't tell it was them from the helmets they wore but I knew it was them. As I they continued I had to think of a plan but nothing worked I run and get caught by the other soldiers and be ordered to death by the king no way the only way was to fight. I took out my sword and faced the two evils I see.

Hiromi- " why me for what reason do you betray your people"

Yuka- " because you are useless a double zero level and a class never heard of could not possibly save this kingdom for that we must summon another hero that means your have to die but don't worry you was never officially here so no one will miss you isn't that the answer to one of your questions."

Hiromi- " that was you that asked the questions? You tricked me to bring me here, for your own greed and power that's probably why the last hero left"

Yuka- " YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH THE LAST HERO WAS A MISTAKE, SHE KILLED MY MOTHER SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE WAS GIVING HER AN ORDER SHE DECLARED WAR ON US BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO OWN ALL THE WORLD."

Hiromi- "and you think what your doing is better? How many heroes have you killed?"

Yuka- " enough im done talking to you, for you are useless trash you are to blame for your own lack of power you should be glad im putting you out of your misery for you should have never been born you are a cancer, a mother would not want you."

That was it those words the same my mother would say, I knew it this world was not different then the last full of people that only did what was best for them no matter who they hurt everyone was the same, I sat there emotionless finally realizing god was against me the world was against me it rebelled my entire being in world and the last, that was it I gave up I was tired exhausted of trying to help or do what was best for them or defy my fate, as that thought went through my head I felt the heat of the fire cover me as the last thing I saw was a sword swing at my neck slicing my throat.

Yuka- "ill keep your head attached so you have honor in the after life even the recruits head are worth more than you entirely"

That was it I died accomplishing nothing, proving nothing, amounting to nothing, when I awoke I was in nothing but darkness is this what awaited me in the after life nothing but darkness I sat there as I began to laugh and laugh and laugh I had went crazy no one wanted me not even god or the devil I was in nothing I was nothing, then I felt it rage, hatred vengeance, revenge those are the remaining feelings I feel if this was what my after life is then ill come back to life and take over the world and after that go home to take over that world then next is haven or hell either on they both will perish by my hands I will control everything be everything no matter who had to die or suffer from my wraith. And with that my eyes opened in the field of destruction and decay and death I also died and the last of the days me letting people take things from me who ever dared to try to stand in my way or try deserved death.

Hiromi- "let the terror begin hahahahahahahaha"
