《Errand Boy》Chapter One : Status

Chapter 1 – Status
“Have fun~”
For a moment my mind was completely blank because now, it's not just me that was summoned but my whole class.
Alek: “What the hell”
I look around and my classmates have the same reaction as me, some are scared, others excited. In front of us is a group of armored men, in the middle is an old man that looked like he was about 60 or 70 years old, next to him is a small girl with curly blonde hair reaching up to her shoulders, whos holding the hand of a teenager around my age with the same curly blond hair, they looked like they were brother and sister.
They’re the royal family I’m guessing, this is the usual pattern anyways… But what the hell am I supposed to do now that I’m with my whole class!? If this was just like my usual ‘Errands’ I would have already taken initiative, but this time I can’t do that. If they find out what I actually am then things would just get harder for me in the long run.
Surprisingly our class representative, a girl with a short stature that has her hair tied into a ponytail while wearing glasses. Yup, you guessed it, the stereotype Class Rep.
She folds her arms and looks up to the king like she owned the place, wow I knew she was stuck up but not this stuck up.
Class Rep: “Where are we and who are you, people!?”
One of the armored men takes a step forward and was about to say something before the old man (king) raises his hand to silence him
King: “Welcome heroes. I am Leoric Gereus, king of the Holy Lagus Empire.” He says before bowing elegantly, the brother and sister, which I’m assuming are his children does the same.
He slowly raises his head and begins to explain for about an hour. Nothing that I haven’t heard of before actually~ Right now there’s a demon lord who threatened to take over the world with his demon army, blah blah blah, y’know, the usual stuff. After a while, the old geezer finally finishes his long ass explanation and everyone in my class except me has this stupid expression on their faces as if they couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

One of the guards looks at me and raises an eyebrow, I guess he’s surprised that I don’t have the same stupid look on my face like everyone else, After a few of the same repetitive explanation you kinda get used to it y’know? I shrug my shoulder in response and break eye contact with him.
After the king's explanation, he gives us a tour of the palace, its one of prettier palaces I’ve been to. It had walls made out of marble, the floor was fully covered by a carpet and there were expensive looking pottery and paintings everywhere. After looking around a little I turn my head and see the same armored guy staring at me! What the hell has he been staring at me since that time!? That’s creepy man! My whole body shivers and a frown appears on my face as I walk away from him.
All I felt from that guy was trouble, and I don’t need trouble.
After a few minutes of walking we end up in a throne room where the old guy sits on his golden throne, the group of armored men go into formation and make a human wall between us and him. The king raises his hand and begins to talk soon after the soldiers finish their formation.
King: “ Now that I have explained to you my worlds situation, could you find it in your heart to help us defeat the Demon Lord?”
Wow, that’s a first, he's asking us to help him like how a beggar asks for money. Is he that desperate?
The class rep. nods her head before talking to the king
Clase Rep: “Give us a sec to think about it kay?”
Why the heck are you talking to the king like you’re equals!? The hell!? Are you really that stuck up!?
I shake my head and let out a small sigh as the class starts to form a small circle to talk about the king's request. Of course, I’m not part of this circle because they think my opinion doesn’t matter. . . No, I don’t care. . . Not at all.. *sniff*

I stand outside the group circle awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck as I looked around the room while at the same time voiding eye contact with the king and all his guards. Especially that one that's been staring from the very start... what a creep.
After a few minutes of talking the class rep turns around and faces the king with a smile on her face
Class Rep: “We accept your request !”
Oi oi, what do you mean you accept!? Do you really think beating a demon lord is that easy!? Gah! Idiots! Whatever, I don’t care what happens to you anyways.
After hearing this the king's mood instantly turns from gloomy emo child to the happiest old man in the world. He suddenly stands up and claps once.
King: “Thank you, heroes! Now Roman, please teach our heroes the basic commands”
Commands? So its one of those ‘Realities’ huh? A world where level and stats is everything, where killing monsters give you items, basically Nerds paradise.
When the king finishes speaking one of the armored men walk in front of us and stares at me for a few seconds before starting to talk. Wait a minute. . . That’s the same guy that was staring at me a while ago! It’s the creep!
Roman (creep): “First things first, we need you to check your stats, to do this you need to think of the word ‘STATUS’. You need a bit of concentration at first but you’ll get used to it in the near future”
Unlike the others, I’ve done this hundreds of times so I easily open my status. A small blue rectangle appears in front of me with a long list of things about me.

I nod, seeing that my stats are still the same... What? You thought I was some weakling?
Well, the thing about being Gods Errand boy is that every time I finish an 'Errand' The things I get from that world like Magic spells, levels and stats stay. The only thing that's stopping me from destroying the whole school in one punch is the Limiter God put on me everytime I'm on my original 'Reality'. Without it, I would have punched a hole through several people by now.
Soon, my classmates also start to see their stats, of course, I couldn't see it because only the owner can see it, that's why no one freaked out when I opened my Stats window~
Roman (The creep) folds his arms and nods his head
Roman: "Your group seems to have already learned how to use status I see." He turns his head to face the King "My lord, If I may have a selfish request, May I have a duel with one of the heroes so that I could see how strong they currently are?"
The Old man nods his head as he gives permission.
Roman raises his head and puts out a smile, no not the cute, cheerful smile, I'm talking about a smile that will only bring trouble as he turns his head to look at me
Roman: "Then I challenge you!"
See, I told you.

The Lone Prospect
New rules. New girl. New home. Ex-military and werewolf, Gideon Vonrothe is looking for a place to belong. His first and last hope for a pack to call his own is the Heaven’s Heathen’s Motorcycle Club. Being the new prospect isn’t going to be easy. Rebels with a cause, the members of the Heaven’s Heathens motorcycle club regularly risk life and limb to rescue those in need, all to protect their greatest secret, that they’re all werewolves. Now a new member has petitioned to join the pack… The Heaven’s Heathens are supposed to be a big bad motorcycle club, a brethren of tough as nails hard asses. Formed out of necessity after the Cascading War, the Heaven’s Heathens have the reputation of being the toughest sons of bitches in Colorado. Their membership filled with those that have little use for society’s rules and pay lip service to laws outside their own. Insular and hierarchal, a new member can throw off the entire group. And they’re Gideon VonRothe’s last hope for a life that feels familiar or else he’s resigned to go back to the family farm. He doesn’t know anything about the Heathens, or motorcycle clubs. He doesn’t even own a motorcycle. An outsider, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, Gideon is the latest victim of the Club’s brotherhood appeal. Vice President Savannah Barker knows better. The Club is a bunch of party loving, thrill seeking adrenaline junkies with a nose for mischief. Their idea of playing hard is a good brawl and involves the words trigger happy lunatics. Her Grandfather, Brand, President of the Club is the worst of the lot. It’s the officers’ jobs to keep the rest of the world from find out that they’re more than a group that loves motorcycles and explosions. They’re werewolves. The Club is the pack and the pack is a family with siblings that squabble. Their outlet is Heaven Has Mercy, private security for hire. No wars. No assassinations. Before the new prospect can change the rankings, Brand sends the ignorant Gideon on a rescue mission under the supervision of Savannah and her team. Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved. The Heathen’s have a responsibility to the man they rescued and their reputation is on the line. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven’s Heathens?
