So many things have spontaneously occurred today. If I were to recap… I was teleported? Transferred? Summoned? To a different world. I had to kill the bandits in order to escape. Then I was left with the decision of going either left or right of the road, and ended up choosing left. I covered a pretty good amount of distance by pacing myself and then decided to take a rest near a huge boulder. I manage to fall asleep but was attacked by a wolf looking creature. I managed to fend them off the first time but the second time they came, I couldn’t. Then a mysterious fireball hit the creature and a group of people came out of the forest, and rescued me.

Now, here I am being carried by a girl who I’ve never met before and am being brought somewhere…

You see I wouldn’t be surprised, nor be embarrassed if the girl wasn’t carrying me in a princess carry and is running through the forest with the other two men. When I say running, it wasn’t like a jogging type of running rather it was sprinting. She was sprinting through the forest carrying me. How was this even possible??? If I were to compare the speed, she would probably leave Usain Bolt in dust. Ha Ha….

As they quickly ran through the forest I was able to see a dim light from afar. When I got closer and closer to the light, I was able to find out what the source of the light was. It was a campfire. I know, I know, anticlimactic, but thank god… I was not getting carried to somewhere dangerous. Or is it? I can’t be too careless now.

Next to the campfire you can see two logs laying down that seems to be about 5 feet long? It seems like they are using the logs as a substitute for chairs. And, next to the logs there were two set of tents that can fit one to two people in.

When we reached the campfire, the girl placed me down on the log and left to the tent in hurry.

As I was planning to sit straight, the man who seemed to be in his 40’s came near me and started talking. Of course, I had no idea what he was saying.

(Hello, my name is Aaron Rydan. I am a B rank adventurer. You don’t mind if I ask you some questions right?)(Aaron)

Uhh… What did he just say? What should I say to him? How do I even respond to him?

As I was trying to figure out what to say to him, I have decided to say the response in English in order to give him a hint that I’m not from this world.

“Sorry, I don’t understand a word you are saying…”

When I said that, he had an expression of someone who had an epiphany, and started to move around hands in air with his index finger pointing out. It seemed like he was trying to touch something that I was not able to see.

“Do you understand me now?” (Aaron)

Huh? A language that was familiar to me reached my ears. What! How? Wait calm down… Let’s answer him and ask him some questions. He seems like a nice person.

“Yes, I can understand what you are saying.”

“I see! That’s great. Let me re-introduce myself again. My name is Aaron Rydan. I am a B rank adventurer. Nice to meet you. You don’t mind if I ask you some questions right?”(Aaron)

Eh? So there are people who identifies themselves as adventurers are here huh…

“Hello, my name is Skylar Maelstrom. I just want to thank you for saving me, and yes, I don’t mind answering your questions.”

“I see, alright. I can tell that you are not from around here. First question I want to ask you is, what are you doing in this forest by yourself, especially during night time? During night time there are many monsters out there that can easily kill people. Even adventurers that are ranked C are recommended not to come here by themselves.” (Aaron)

“Wait, let me explain my situation to you before I answer your questions. I think this will help you narrow down your questions. I’m not sure if you are going to believe me but I’m not from around here. What I meant to say is that, I’m from a different world (Oh, man I sound like a lunatic). I’m not sure why I was summoned but when I did, I was summoned near this forest. I didn’t know my direction so I decided to just go to my left on a whim.”

While I was explaining to him, I decided to leave out some details because I don’t think it was necessary to tell them about the killing.

“EHH??? You are a summoned one? That’s so cool!!! Oh man, I’ve never met a summoned one before!”(Jude)

A young man who seems to be around my age came next to me, sat down, and then stared at me in amazement. He had the expression of a fangirl who have finally met their idol.

“Jude! Stop being rude to our guest. Sorry, about that Skylar. His name is Jude Crophil. He is a C rank adventurer. Anyways, Jude, please don’t interrupt us.” (Aaron)

“Ah! Sorry about that!” (Jude)

He then listened to Aaron and went back inside to his camp. He is still probably eavesdropping though.

“Is it really rare for a person to be summoned here? And what is summoned one?”

“Yes, it is rare nowadays. It used to be common when the summoning materials were abundant but after 100 years have passed, it became scarce. The reason behind it is because of the greedy nobles. Also, the name summoned one does not carry a special meaning. Just means the person is not from this world.”(Aaron)

“Nobles?”

“Yes. When the materials were abundant they summoned many people from the other world. Because they would usually come to this world defenseless, they would be captured on sight. They were used as slaves.” (Aaron)

“Slavery exists in this world???”

“Yes. Some people tried to go against the kings who ruled the kingdoms but they never appealed to it”(Aaron)

So my assumption was right. Good thing, I fought off the bandits or I would’ve been in a deep shit.

“Wait, if they have slavery already why bother summoning another person from different world?”

“It’s simply because the people who were summoned here always gets a unique skill. It may be active and passive but in the end it’s unique to themselves. People in this world cannot achieve those unique skills unless they are incredibly high leveled. The summoned ones were probably used for war power.” (Aaron)

Alright, so at this point. I have no clue what the hell is going on. Skills? Unique? What? Slavery? Adventurers? What does this make me? Will I be captured and be sold if I were to be found out that I’m not from this world? Wait, if summoned one always gets a skill, how come I don’t have one? If I do have one, how do I even use it?

“You are worried aren’t you? You also have no clue what I’m talking about.”(Aaron)

“Huh? How did you know?”

“By your expression. Anyways, don’t worry. I’m not a bad guy and those two aren’t the bad guys either. Since you answered my question, I will answer your questions. Just ask away. Long as it’s within my knowledge range I will answer you.”(Aaron)

“Really? Thank you very much!”

“No problem. Now ask away.” (Aaron)

“Could you tell me the details about the slaves, and the skill? system? I think? Is that what it's called?”

“Haha, yes, it is called skill system. Let me explain the skill system first. This will help you understand how the slavery thing works.”(Aaron)
