(3° person POV)
Akame looked at Fafnir, who’s reading a book, completely concentrated. She has been following him since last week when she tried to break in his house. Surprisingly for her, she got rather close to him, and enjoys walking around with him.
She couldn’t get close to him though, he’s quite a hard person to get close to. Although she is his friend, she can’t get really close to him, and make him feel something for her. That’s actually frustrating for her, who wants to know him better.
She gets up, ready for another try, when suddenly, a dazzling light comes from the ground, blinding all of them for a second.
In a white space –
Fafnir’s class fell on the ground, together with their teacher. Around 30 students are on the ground, including Fafnir. Fafnir touches the “ground”, a white thing that doesn’t seem to be the ground at all, more seemingly to be something transparent with a white space under it.
Approaching Fafnir, Akame asks while whispering.
(Akame): “What happened?”
(Fafnir): “How the hell should I know? I never saw something like this before…”
Suddenly, another light showed up… no, several lights showed up. From these lights of variated colors, several people show up. They are dressed in various clothes with flashy decorations, as if they were cosplays.
Although they didn’t give this aura, since the aura surrounding them gave a divine feeling. The one in the middle and with the strongest aura, a man with white long hair and a long white beard dressed in loose silk clothes. His aura was overpowering and intimidating.
Surprisingly, his voice was gentle when he spoke.
(Old man): “Young humans, I’m deeply sorry for this situation, it got out from my control too fast to be done.”
The teacher of the class, a handsome man in his mid-thirties, with short brown hair and wearing a brown suit. His name is Higaki Tooru, more known as Higaki-sensei.

(Higaki): “What is happening here? Who the hell are you guys? Where is this place?”
He asks angrily. Suddenly, the guy just beside the old man, and man with tan skin, bald, wearing an armor and muscular, releases a strong pressure with an annoyed face. Immediately, all the students and Higaki fall on their knees. Immediately, the old man materializes a cane and it the head of the bald guy, making the pressure disappear.
(Old man): “Stop with this, idiot son.”
(bald): “Sorry dad…”
(Old man): “What you would do if they couldn’t handle your pressure?”
(bald): “You say that, but these three there did held out.”
The old man looked at them again after hearing that. Three people weren’t on the ground. The first one was Tsubaki Shinra, barely standing and sweating heavily. The second one is Akame, holding Fafnir’s arm, sweating cold and with widened eyes.
And the third one is Fafnir, who’s standing without a problem, glaring at the bald guy. He seems fine, as if not affected. The bald man noticed that he’s actually releasing a pressure of his own, but it’s not affecting the others.
Noticing this, the old man thinks:
(Old man): “This boy… I see, he’s the one that inherited ‘he’s’ bloodline.”
Landing on the ground with the others, the old man speaks:
(Breas): “Sorry for my son’s behavior. My name is Breas, and I’m the main god of this pantheon. I’m the god of creation, and ruler of the other gods. This place where we are right now is a temporary space created by us during the summoning so that we could speak with you.”
(Fafnir): “What do you mean?”
Fafnir asks, since everyone else seems too terrified to talk.
(Breas): “Well, for the first thing, you guys are being summoned to another world. Before this I looked at the culture of your world, so I can say that the world that you guys are being summoned, the world that I look over, is a fantasy world, with magic, a variety of races such as elves, dwarves, humans etc.”

He says. Looking at the reactions of the kids, Breas continues.
(Breas): “Th reason that you guys are here is because the humans are facing a crisis, a war against a race called “demon race”, they used an old ritual called “hero summoning”. I’m deeply sorry for bothering you guys with this, but as gods, we cannot interfere directly, so we were powerless to stop the summoning. Please, understand.”
(Higaki): “There’s a way to send us back?”
(Breas): “I don’t know, but…”
Breas directed his eyes to one of the man that popped up with him. They were ten in total, counting Breas in, six man and four women. The man that he looked at was a tall man, with fair skin, handsome face, blue eyes and dark blue hair. Dressed in loose clothes with a loose feeling, he had an intellectual aura.
(Hexes): “My name is Hexes, and I’m the god of magic of this world. As for your question, there is a magic that can return you guys back to your world. Unfortunately, it is in the possession of a dragon. I also don’t know the name of the dragon, but I can say for sure that he lives in the demon continent, the home of the demon race.”
(Higaki): “What do you mean with that?”
(Hexes): “What I mean with that is that unfortunately you will have to face the demon race if you want to go home anyway.”
Silence. After a few minutes, Breas said:
(Breas): “Again, I apologize for your actual situation. However, I refuse to let you guys go in a dangerous place without any kind of help. That’s why we are here, we will help you guys, giving our blessings and the maximum of power we can. First, we will explain some things for you guys. But first, we will choose the ones that will receive our blessings based on the ones that have more affinity with us.”
After a few minutes organizing the students and chatting a bit to make them feel comfortable, they begin to explain some things.
(Beas): “Alright, first, we will give you guys a blessing, and you will acquire special powers. It may manifest as a magic, item or even a familiar. Are you guys ready?”
Then, the gods gathered the ones that they chose to bless and released a light on them. Higaki and two of the girls of the class under the goddess of love, Taichi and some guys and girls of the class under Beas and Akame, Shinra and Fafnir under the god of war, the bald guy in an armor, Vertras.
When the light was over, all of them could feel something different in their bodies… and also, floating in front of their faces, was this:
You have received a blessing from Vertras, the God of War!
Due the blessing of the god of war, you have acquired a skill based in your skills and abilities.
Red War Dragon Scale Coat
Type:Natural Trait
Tier:UniqueLevel:1
Creates a long coat of dragon scales that covers the whole body, working like an armor. It will evolve together with you. You can’t feel the weight if the armor and it’s weight won’t hinder you.
The other gods began explaining how to use their abilities, including Vertras.
(Vertras): “Alright kids, here’s the deal, close your eyes and you will feel something different on your body, just focus on it and it will come naturally to you.”
Fafnir closes his eyes, and immediately feel something inside him. Focusing on item the methods to activate and deactivate the armor come to mind.
(Vertras): “alright kids, show me what you’ve got!”

The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.
