1 Ephemeral World (Chapter 1) How it all started

Inside the throne room of the castle of the human kingdom. Many figures gathered around a magic circle while chanting some kind of spell while the king and the guards watched them in silence while gritting their teeth hoping the spell will work. After a few minutes, the casters finished the spell and a bright light enveloped the room. After a few moments, the light disappeared and three unknown figures stood in the middle of the magic cirle. The king stood up and approached them.

"Greetings people of another world, my name is Bianreid Lindrymr Ymirad, the king of the kingdom of Ymirad. We've summon you here to ask you to help us save this world from destruction. Can you tell me your names?"

"Where the fuck am I? Why did you disturb me when I'm working!? You asswipe!"

The one who spoke first was a young man with the bangs of his hair white while the rest is black and was wearing a pair of eyeglasses.

"Foolish human, thou dare to order me!?"

The second one to speak was a young man with white hair, blood red eyes and pale white skin.

"Now, now. We won't know our situation if we don't cooperate. I am Levus Triliaq Respectacus, I came from the world of Soviuq, I am the king of the orcs of Nyriel. A pleasure to meet you king of Ymirad."

The last one who spoke was a huge orc wearing something that looked like a deformed crown.

"The pleasure is mine."

The two who didn't reveal their names reluctantly gave up for what Levus said was true. They won't know what happened to them if they won't cooperate.

"Human, listen well, I am Azazel Euryhar Naqcres, the third prince of the kingdom of Naqcres that dwells in the world of magic, Rymrgi. A magic meister and master swordsman."

"*tch* Fine, my name is Xyndis Vi Vermundus. I am a world-class inventor from Aquira de Miria, a world filled with advance technology."

Levus Triliaq Respectacus came from a world where there are constant wars raging across the world. He became the Orc King in order to stand up and fight in order to protect his kin and those who can't fight. He obtained an ability to make unintelligent beasts follow him. Azazel Euryhar Naqcres is from a world of darkness where beasts and supernatural creatures roam. A world where the bloodshed is an everyday happening and magic advanced to a point of forbidden gremoires can be used without certain side effects. He is the third prince of a prestigious vampire kingdom. Xyndis Vi Vermundus is from a world where science and technology has advanced to a point of making a cyberspace to act as a back-up world if their world is in a crisis. He is considered a prodigy and a genius that he received the title of World-class Inventor at a young age.

"Very well, shall we discuss the whole reason why we summoned you here? Come with me."

They followed the king towards a corridor that leads to the dining hall. They saw various dishes unknown to them.

"Now then, please take your seats. We will discuss the reason later."

The king insisted and pointed towards a long table that has many unoccupied seats. Azazel and Xyndis reluctantly sat in the middle while Levus happily sat on a chair on the right hand side of the king. Azazel used magic to determine if there is poison on the food and Xyndis used his eyeglass to analyze the food contents and determine if there are any harmful substances while Levus without hesitation picked up a piece of meat and swallowed it in one gulp.

"There is really no need to worry. We wouldn't want the heroes to distrust us. Look at your companion, he has a huge smile on his face."

The king spoke in a calm and friendly manner which Levus took as a signal and grab more food and ate it.

"There's no need for the great me to indulge mineself in these offerings, for the great me hath already ate my fill before thee summoned me here without prior warning."

"Do you really think I would let my guard down? Think again! Being a world-class inventor needs to be prepared when doing a experiment. In other words, I already ate to prepare for my experiment when you assholes dragged me into this unknown world that is still in the medieval era."

"..."

The king fell silent and when they finished eating.

"Now, let's move on to the reason why you guys are summoned."

"Human, ye already said that thou needst us to protect this world, right?"

"Yes, we indeed need your help to protect this world from being destroyed by the Epivious"

"*tch* Why the fuck would I want to do something so troublesome?!"

"We are at our wit's end. We don't have any other options left. Furthermore, we can only summon people from other worlds but we can't send them back."

"Can't be help right. Yo, four eyes and dude that looks like a corpse."

"What didst thou say?!"

"four eyes!? How dare you!?"

"Why don't we just help them out until we find a way to go back to our worlds?"

"..."

The both of them sighed dejectedly and taking that for a yes the king rose from his seat.

"Thank you very much. Shall we call it a night and rest. We will continue our discussion tomorrow. Maids! Accompany our guest to their rooms."

"Yes your majesty."

A group of maids entered the dining hall and led the three to their rooms.
