“Follow me, heroes. I’ll guide you to the throne room where you’ll meet with my father, the King of Delorias. His Majesty will explain the reason you need to come to this world”

All five of them followed her quietly while some of guards followed them from behind meanwhile the other guards were just standing there without any flaw.

‘I supposed I’ll listen to their explanation first, huh?’

While arriving to this thought, Kagerou quickly assessing to their surrounding and doing some mind note about that place. While blankly looking forward, he arrived to the conclusion that this world is similar to the game like system. It is because right now he was looking at his own status.

‘What the fucking hell is this?’

‘Okay. Can I fucking retort with this? Why the hell I got this title and what it does it means?!’

The one who got dragged into Summoning Magic – You are clearly just got dragged into summoning so basically you are not a hero. [Level growth is 2x slower than hero]

Just a Pebbles Stone – You’ll be always underestimated by the enemy as long as you have this title. [Critical Hit increase 25%]

‘Oh, this is great (sarcasm). Although both title give a big influence over my fighting style, I felt like the second title really tried to insult me.’

Kagerou was dejected by his own title but he quickly get over with it. He then took a look to his own aptitude definition.

Void – Void is the origin nature of Energy, Force and Information. Through this combine was what the nature had become today.

Martial Art – Your body muscles have a great potential to be develops to endure an extreme level of martial arts.

Body Strengthening – Your bodies’ muscles can endure magic to strengthen itself and resist magic.

‘Wow. Look at this aptitude, to think that I had aptitude toward Martial Art (sarcasm)’

Kagerou doesn’t realize itself that his body had developed this way because of his muscles lack force resistance since birth which made his own muscles to strengthen for a time being. And because of that, his body also can adapt to martial art lesson as his muscle was better than any average student at his age.

‘Better I forgot my status now rather than I regret it later.’

With that mindset which took a second to change from first thought to another thought what made him had high reflexes as he could arrange his thought perfectly.

He was forced to cut own his thought as they have arrived at the throne room. The guard which follows them earlier move and opened the door which is huge enough to fit some mid-scale statue.

When the door was open, what they saw was a large room that lacks any decoration other than filled with flags and banner yet it feels so majestic and mysterious. Besides that the room was sized at least a soccer field size. Lastly at the opposite of the door was the king His Majesty where he sat on the throne in gold color.

“I welcome you heroes to our kingdom. My name is Ausgusto Von McLaren and this kingdom was called as Dorendorn Kingdom. Because there were now 7 Demon Kings and one Great Demon King, which now put the world into panic. That’s why simply put this kingdom needs your help!”

The king speaks with a sympathetic like voice which can made any other people would think that they really in pinch. But not me, because I could see clearly that the king show an arrogant and proud smile. Yeah, it was clearly just a blatant lie. No, half of it was probably true.

Really, you think that I was dumb like these four?

“Okay, we will help for this world peace!”

“Sure, it’s not look like we gain nothing.”

“Yeah, if the world peace can be gain after we defeat the demon kings… we’ll do it gladly”

‘Seriously this four, can’t they think carefully and see the real intentions of this king?’

He really can tell that the king does not only want them the heroes defeat the demon king, but to use them as war pawn and political advantage to a certain degree. Besides, he did that with pleased eyes looking at them as he was looking at a new toy.

‘Well, at least I should escape by myself right now. But, how should I do it?’

When he started to arrange his thought..... The king was opened his mouth.

“Well, to begin with heroes. Let’s just start by looking at your own status. Just say [status] inside your mind and the [status window] will come out for yourself.”

The four then check their own status except him. But for not getting a suspicion, he open his status again.

‘Hang on a second, the heck is this!!’ ‘A couple of minutes ago, my status is none exactly like this!!’

His face started to sweat a lot. It will probably stand out so he pretends nothing happen. He calmed himself again and started to analyze his status again. And then he noticed something again.

‘Wait a minute. Did I just saw that my skill add into my skill and title column?’

‘Does this mean that once I create an action that had similarities with my aptitude, I’ll gain a skill much faster?’

He was awed with this kind of system. To not get distracted by his status much, he watched the other four without showing his real face (Poker Face).

“Now then, all four heroes….wait a minute, why there was five person here?”

The king asked. Suspicion aroused within the throne room. His Majesty believes there were only four heroes and because of that all peoples inside this room look onto the heroes.

“No. We have [Hero] title, you know?”

“But…why there were five people here?”

‘Better act fast right now.’

“Ah, it was me. I’m doesn’t have any [Hero] title.”

Everyone inside this throne room targeted him, Kagerou. Certainly, he was the only one who still kept quiet about his presence.

“Was it you? Who doesn’t have [Hero] title?”

“Yes. I’ll show you right away.”

He showed it to His Majesty his title; [The one who got dragged into Summoning Magic].

All people’s face excluding Kagerou started paled white. Of course the reason was obvious; that someone they didn’t want got dragged together with the Heroes. With that, Kagerou had confirmed that his presence was not welcome well. With that reason, he arrived to one only conclusion; and that is to quickly got away from this castle.

“It is obvious, is it not? I can’t fight well like hero, so can I go away from castle? Because I want to live as I want.”

With this certain scene, it became the turning point for Kagerou’s life to change.
