Atli slowly opened his eyes then looked at the cave entrance he saw that there was light outside. He stood up and walked to the cave entrance and poke his head outside he looked to the skies and saw the sun right in the middle of the skies that ment it was afte already the middle of the day. He let out a sigh and went back into the cave to get ready. Atli put on his black and gold armor then walked to the sleeping bag and took his long sword. Atli looked at the sleeping bag and thought to himself this thing is way too big i cant take it with me oh well i will hopefully find some sort of village today so i will leave it for someone else. Atli walked out of the cave closed his eyes and took a long breath of the fresh air then exhaled and opened his eyes again and then walked to the river and made his hands into a bowl the he kneeled and submerged his hand into the water then reamerged them and drank out of his hands after he done this two more times he straighten up and started following the river downstream again. Atlis stomach started growling so he ate some blackberries that he found yeasterday and thought to himeself i’m lucky that i found those blackberries yeasterday or i would be starving probably. Atli was walking and huming his favorite songs and then saw something in the distance it looked a little bit like a stone wall but he wasn‘t sure because it was far away but this peeked his interest and started walking a faster almost jogging. As he got closer, he could see a city being built in front of him know he started almost sprinting but got tired fast because he never was athletic, and he was wearing a full plate armor but surprisingly it wasn’t as heavy as he thought maybe some special metal from this world, but it wasn’t light either so Atli jus resumed to jogging. As he was approaching the city, he saw a big open gate and two guard with spears standing next to the open gate and two guards one with a wooden bow and the other with a crossbow on top of the wall. Atli walking got slower but his heartbeat got faster. Atli was almost at the entrance but the guards yelled at him to stop he stopped immediately, and his hearth was now beating faster he thought he was going to faint. As the guard approached atli he looked at the guards better he saw that they all had: a barbute style helmeth, a silver breastplate and sholder armor under the armor they had a brown tunic and gray pants they looked kinda shabby for guards Atli thought to himself. The guard was now standing about one meater from Atli and asked him “Kid i never seen you before where are you from with that shiny armor„

Atli respondet with a nervous voice “ I know this may sound weird but i think i was summoned to this world„

as Atli was saying this the guards expresion didn’t change and even started picking his nose. After the guard was done with picking his nose he answeard with a calm tone “oh so you are a summoned hero right„

Atli answeard with a little bit less nervous voice “yes sir i think so„

“and where is your summoner kid„

“i dont know what a summoner is„

The guard sighted and the answeard “ a summoner is the person who summoned you into this world now where is he„

“oh right that makes sense uh i think he’s dead„

The guard who didn’t change suddenly assumed a battle position. The guard in the back did so too. Atli took few steps back and raised his hands as he looked up at the two guards on top of the wall, they aimed straight at Atlises head with their weapons then Atli nervously said “whoa whoa it’s not like I killed the guy or some-” Atli couldn’t finish his sentence because one of the guards hit him with their spear and knocked Atli out. When Atli woke up je saw a stone sealing and smelled something horrible when Atli stood up he saw that he was in a cell and noticed that he did not have his armor on only a grey shirt and grey pants. Atli looked to the right and saw a metal door with bars and on the other end was the same guard who knocked him out the guard then spoke “look kid I’m sorry but it was the protocol but you’re not off the hook, yet we will question you and then we will decide what will happen to you” then the guard left. Atli took a deep sign and just started walking in circles thinking what will happen with him. Then one guard walked to the doors and told Atli to stop what he was doing and to put his hands on the wall. Atli did as he was instructed and then the guard which he did not see before walked up to him. The guard who knocked him out had an eyepatch over his left eye and had a thick brown mustache but this one had a full black beard with some grey spots and a scar on his lip. The new guard started searching Atli if he had anything on him, but he could not find anything and then yelled at Atli “all right kid hands on your back” Atli did as he was instructed, and the guard put heavy metal handcuffs on him and then he said “all right now let us go you have some explaining to do” Atli followed the guard to some room. As the guard opened the wooden door that was leading into the room, he smiled at Atli. After atli went into the room the guard followed and then shut the door and started guarding it. Atli turned his eyes from the guard and looked at the room there was one wooden table which had a candelabra on it and then there were two chairs opposite of each other, and one was occupied the man on the chair looked like he had a suit on and when Atli looked at his face he looked like he was in his 40s and had short black hair and a goatee. The guard told Atli “sit kid” as Atli quickly sat on his chair the man in front of him introduced himself “hello my name is Squix and I’m going to interrogate you today” then he continued.

“so, you said that you are a summoned hero, right?”

“yes, I believe so”

“okay and you said that your summoner is dead?”

“yes, when I woke up in this world, I saw this old man and he started speaking some nonsense about my potential and how he can unlock one hundred percent of my power and then put something I believe he called the gift of the gods on my chest and said some prayer and I think the thing infused with me and then I blacked out. Then I woke up again and found his lifeless body on the floor after that I went the things in the cave I was summoned in and then gave him a proper burial.”

“hmm interesting that’s not the first time it happened that a summoner died after summoning someone but it’s impressive that one man could summon someone all alone but it’s not impossible. Perhaps do you know the name of the man who summoned you?”

“yes, I think I found some old notes that I couldn’t read but one was signed with the name Stallx, so I believe that was his name.”

“hmm stallx I think I heard this name I think he was a mage that did some horrible things in this city over 20 years ago, but the judge took pity on him and only exiled him so it’s possible that he studied summoning magic and was mad enough to try to summon someone. OH, how stupid I was”.

“huh what are you talking about?”

“Oh, I was the judge I took pity on him because he was my older brother, but I didn’t think he would go this far. I think this case is over Atli you’re a free man and thank you for burring my brother.” Then squix stood up and told the guard to give Atli his gear back and that he is free, and this was just a misunderstanding and then walked out of the room. The guard walked to Atli and unlocked his handcuffs and said, “come follow me”. Atli followed the guard to another room but the guard would not Atli in, so he just waited outside. After about ten minutes later the guard walked out with Atlis gear and Atli put it on and then again followed the guard but now to the exit. When they got to another door the guard opened it and said “Atli you are now a free man again please explore the city” Atli walked out and thought to himself that was a rocky start but now my I can start my new issekai life in this world.
