Irregular Encounter

As Brandon landed quite ungracefully on his ass, he got up and rubbed it muttering "damn, I'm supposed to have some badass protagonist entrance."

Looking up, he saw 4 figures staring back at him with varying gazes. The figures were a strange rabbit-like creature with a rod adorned with an orb of water on each side who looked at him with interest and amusement, a naive and innocent looking short brown haired boy with a cute face, who was staring at him with a look of confusion and childlike curiosity. Standing off to the side was a super small dwarf looking guy holding a backpack the same size as his body, and last but not least (in Brandon's opinion) an incredibly beautiful tall woman with long black hair, red eyes, and pale skin who seemed enraptured by something on his body.

Looking down to see what she was looking at, he smirked out of pride and said "Like what you see?" While pushing his chest out. Almost like the was snapped out of hypnosis, she locked eyes with him, and much to his surprise, she smiled playfully and said "Hmm I usually like boys with cute faces more, but that professional and confident businessman look is working for me~ not to mention your little brother also" with a giggle after.

What's your name, beautiful? He asked even though he could tell she was completely playing with him. Though he didn't really know how this new place worked, his instincts were practically screaming at him that this woman was not somebody he could fuck with.

"Ha Yuri Jahad, but you can just call me Princess Yuri~" she said. "What about you handsome?"

Hmm… Brandon is boring, I gotta think of a badass name that'll strike fear into the hearts of my enemies and wet the panties of my fangirls…

After a few seconds of thinking, he smiled and responded, "the name is Lucius. Lucius Longinus."

He was always a fan of the Fate franchise, and always wanted to be a spearman if he were to wind up in a fantasy world, so why not the best of both worlds, plus its a badass name?

"Ara~ What a nice name"

"I could say the same about you"

As they locked eyes and smiled, with Lucius's containing pride and Yuri's containing a dangerous glint, they were snapped out of it by a deafening shout.

"WHY THE FUCK IS NOBODY MENTIONING THE FACT THAT THIS DUDE IS COMPLETELY NAKED?!?!?!" a shout suddenly rang out next to the beautiful Princess.

It was only then that Lucius looked down and recalled being buck-ass naked probably wasn't normal.

The shout came from the little dwarf guy that came with the princess, who seemed to feel that he was the weird one since nobody else cared that this guy was completely naked.

"Yo dwarf, what's your name."

"…The fuck did you call me?" When Lucius felt the aura emanating off of the dwarf, he first felt a primordial and instinctual fear that seemed to be etched into his very being, but this fear was quickly driven away by an uncontrollable excitement, and a dangerous grin appeared on his face.

When everyone else saw his face, the Princess had an approving and predatory look in her eye. The weird rabbit had a dangerous smirk on his face, the white dwarf looked at him like he was a weirdo, and the little brown haired boy had a look on his face that seemed to be saying "what the hell is happening"

After the dwarf, who he learned was named Evan finished his clothes rant, the weird rabbit finally opened his mouth

"Ah the lack of clothing truly is troublesome… what kind would you like, irregular?"

'Irregular? What the fuck is that? Eh, whatever, it sounded important so I'm sure I'll learn soon enough'.

This thought from Lucius was only strengthened forward when he saw the look of realization on the Princess' and Evans face, with the latter mumbling "Two irregulars within the same minute? It seems the tower will be shaken at the foundations soon…"

Paying no heed to his rambling, Lucius replied to the rabbit, "Ah, I would like a blue dress shirt to match my hair, a black suit jacket, black pants and black dress shoes. All flexible enough for combat, of course"

The rabbit snapped his fingers and clothes appeared on Lucius' body that perfectly fit him, earning the rabbit a suspicious glare that said 'perv' but the rabbit just chuckled in response.

Hello Lucius Longinus, my name is Headon and I am the most ancient Guardian of this place known as the Tower of God.

"Tower of God? Isn't that a pretty presumptuous name"

"It may sound that way, but once you reach the top of the Tower you can gain everything you've ever wanted, whether it be money, power, inf-"

"Blah, blah, blah. Sounds like some bullshit. Will there be strong people for me to fight?"

The rabbit, or rather, Headon, looked unbothered as ever despite being interrupted, it was like it was impossible to ruffle this dudes feathers.

"Of course there will, people with strength beyond your imagination, with the strength to destroy continents, move at impossible speeds and much, much more."

Hearing this, Lucius' curiously was peaked, and he asked for a thorough description of the Tower. After Headon finished, Lucius' eyes were shining so brightly you could basically see them shooting out beams.

"FUCK THAT SOUNDS AWESOME, CAN I START?"

"I'm sorry, but you and our other friend over here will have to take a little test first to prove your worth." Headon stated. When Lucius turned towards the boy he had previously disregarded, he saw him standing there nervously, twiddling his thumbs. "What's your name, kid?"

"U-um my name is Baam, Mr. Lucius" the boy, now named Baam muttered.

"Why were you so quiet, Baam?" Lucius asked, confused on why the boy stood there for hours while Headon droned on about the tower.

"Well… I was scared to interrupt." He said while lowering his eyes.

Lucius gaped at him for a while before internally signing and thinking 'ah damn.. it's a shonen protagonist."
