《Red Overpowered》The invocation
Advertisement
The light was slowly fading as I slowly came to my senses. I looked around and was now in a large room. It was resplendent, a beautiful white color, the walls covered with beautiful black and gold tapestries. Then I finally noticed that people were watching us.
Among them, the one who stood out the most and imposed himself by his presence was a man with a white beard, sitting on what seemed to me to be a throne. The person to his right began to speak in a loud voice.
"The invocation was a success my king." (???)
"Well done Moses." He said smiling.
He finally turned to us, watching us for a few brief seconds.
"Welcome to you heroes from another world. You must no doubt be troubled by the events. Let me introduce myself, I am the King of the Kingdom of Sigma. If we have summoned you, it is because we need your help."
"This is serious right now, we've been summoned to another world!" Said a baffled young man.
"I want to go home." Complained another.
"Unfortunately we cannot send you home. It is impossible for us to send back invoked people." (King)
Anger seized me and I could not accept such a situation. This asshole was telling us that he knew very well that he couldn't send us home. And yet he did, he played with our lives as he saw fit.
"Hey, tell me, are you fucking with us?" (Logan)
"How dare you talk to the King like that!" (Moses)
The guards who were in the room immediately pointed their guns at us.
"Logan shut up!" (???)
"Shut up Shawn this asshole dared to play with our lives and you tell me to shut up." (Logan)
"If you're not happy I can still kick your ass." (Shawn)
"You've been martyring me for three years, but I can't remember the moment I looked down at you." (Logan)
"Your bitch sister did it right when she sucked my dick." (Shawn)

"I'm gonna kill you!" (Logan)
"Don't make me laugh, orphan." He says in a mocking tone.
Suddenly, a pressure crushed us ending our conflict. Everyone in the room felt the effects, causing some to crash to the floor.
"I beg you to listen to me." Said the king in a firm tone.
I then looked the bastard straight in the eye and the pressure increased in return. While the king's gaze became more severe.
"My patience has limits young man." (King)
Blood began to pour from my nose and I had to lower my head to keep from passing out.
"Well, are you now ready to listen?" (King)
Everyone looked at me with contempt, their looks just telling me to stop causing them trouble. Then the king started talking again:
"Some time ago, dungeons began to appear in our vast lands. The appearance of these dungeons has unfortunately stimulated the activity of all monsters. We need you to complete these dungeons and eradicate the monsters because they are endangering our kingdom. Tragically, we have even lost one of our lands to a massive monster onslaught. And before we could exterminate all the monsters, we lost an astronomical number of soldiers. Many of our people were killed and eaten. That is the reason you have been summoned here today, we need you." (King)
"And how are we supposed to fight these monsters?" Asked a young brunette girl named Emma.
"Those summoned from another world are given many exceptional abilities. As well as professions and titles." (King)
"And what are they?" Shawn asked with interest.
"First of all, say status, it should appear before you." (King)
With such a simple explanation, everyone's voices echoed at the same time. Everyone was willing to play along except me. Then a crystal ball was brought to us by the man named Moses.
"Please take turns putting your hand on it so we can see it too." (Moses)
Shawn stepped forward with a confident smile on his face. He put his hand down and then a card appeared projected from the ball. There was information on this card and everyone in the room exclaimed.

"Woah the paladin has higher stats."(Emma)

There were 20 of us in the class, people continued to show their status. With a festival of various professions like: Witch, Fighter, Shaper, Knight, Dragon Rider, Barbarian, Priest, Magic Swordsman, Healer.
Then before my turn came I checked my status.
"What, what does that mean?" I said as I looked at my status." (Logan)
As I was caught in my surprise and reflection the king's voice rang out.
"It's yours." (King)
I was brought out of my thoughts as everyone looked at me. Most had all obtained very good professions as well as abilities. And I finally placed my hand on the ball.

Laughter began to rise in the room. The only person who looked at me and cared was Maïli.
"Ahh, ahh even here you are still a loser." (Shawn)
"Leave him alone Shawn!" (Maïli)
"Still, you have to admit, it's not glorious." (Meverick)
The king finally began to speak again:
"All of you who have been called will be taken care of by the kingdom. You will be trained, housed and paid handsomely. You will represent the new strength of our kingdom." (King)
"Where is the exit?" (Logan)
Everyone turned to me.
"It is true that considering your status you will not be able to help us in any way. In other words, you are useless." (King)
The king snapped his fingers and a guard walked towards me with a bag in his hand.
"Here is compensation for the inconvenience caused." (King)
The bag of coins flew out and then the sound of coins falling to the floor rang out.
"I don't want your money! Just take me back to the exit." (Logan)
"You! You're disrespecting the king again!" (Moses)
"Let, guards escort him out as he requests." (King)
As I was being escorted out, I spoke up one last time.
"I will destroy you all one by one!" (Logan)
"I'd like to see how." (Shawn)
"You should have taken that money." (Meverick)
"That's real ungrateful." Says another young girl named Malika.
"Don't come crying back to us for help." (Emma)
Logan was led towards the exit, while the king stood frozen for a moment.
"My king? My king?" (Moses)
"Didn't that boy just now his eyes turn red?" (King)

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?

My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)
