Taking the Role of the Shield Hero

Prologue

= [Prologue] =
...

Many things can make people freak out. Even the most stoic person will do so, no matter how much they pretend not to.

It can range from a simple spooking from behind to a sudden moment of accident. Some might even come to the point of giving a person health problem!

And as a person who had live twenty entire years history, I've been in that state so many times!

But this! This takes the freaking top cake!

"Oh, great Cardinal Heroes! Please save our world!"

The leader of the men in robe proclaimed at us.

With 'us' being me and three other dudes. All standing in the center of a geometric patterns atop a altar in a room of stone bricks.

While I'm busy monologuing in my mind the dudes and the robe guy was also busy talking with each other.

"There are many complications in this situation, but to offer a simple answer to your question, we have just completed an ancient ceremony and summoned you four Heroes."

"Summoned?"

(Huh... Wonder what they are talking about?) I thought but still did not paid them any attention as I'm currently silently freaking out!

"Our world teeters on the brink of destruction. Heroes, please lend us your strength!" said the robed men, bowing very deeply to us.

And before I forget to mention. The four of us, Heroes, each have weapons.

Blonde ponytail guy has this spear, stoic black has a sword, blonde number two a bow and of course I got the shield...

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to The Rising of the Shield Hero...
Without the right hero.

I can now see the storm that is coming my way...

(Wonder-fucking-ful).
