I sighed "This is so boring" I groaned leaning back in my chair "I'm never gonna be ready for these exams." I probably looked like a psycho talking to myself out loud and the librarian already shushed me several times.
I have always been lonely. I live in a small village in Japan. My parents had both died from a car accident when I was younger forcing me to go live on my own. I have had to work several jobs just to make ends meet. In school you could say that I have pretty good grade but, I'm a loner and a introvert so I don't have any friends. My life has never been easy, but today, fate had something else in store for me.
I decided to take a break and browse through the library books. As I was looking around a really old and shaggy book caught my eye
"Woah! What is this?" I ran my fingers down the cover, it was titled the Tales of the lost hero. Huh. This was totally a fairytail book. I might as well check it out because it looks interesting enough. I open the first page to read the first paragraph, reading it out loud.
"The lost hero was summoned to the court room where the charming prince and his father begged to help defeat the demon king with his powers" I finished reading the paragraph and scoffed. I even flipped the page to see there was nothing there. "What is this is there nothing there!? It sounds like just a stereotypical Isekai!? I sighed "Well if I was in an Isekai like this it would be better than here at least I would have a purpose instead of mindlessly working a job for the government when I get older, I'm just wondering who left a blank book in the library? Maybe it's one of those draw in it books like the Diary Of A Wimpy kid one." Suddenly a flash of light came out of the book, feeling as if it was pulling me in. "Woah?!" I yelled out in surprise. The book sat on the floor, not too soon the librarian put it back on the self "Tsk tsk tsk leaving books on the floor. Kids are animals these days"
I rubbed my head as a sharp pain went through my head. I opened my eyes and I was sitting on the floor completely was taken aback by the rooms around me grandeur. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries, and the floor was made of polished marble. A large table stood in the center of the room, surrounded by plush chairs. At the head of the table sat the king, flanked by his advisors and a robed figure. A priest, I think it atleast looks like one. But really where the hell am I? Was I kidnapped. This has gotta be a set up for someones erotic roleplay.
"Welcome, Hero!," the king said, his voice booming. "I have summoned you here because our world is in great peril. A demon king has risen, and he threatens to destroy us all. We need a hero to defeat him, and and we have summoned you as a hero."
My jaw dropped open. No way this is actually happening it's gotta be a dream. I pinched myself, nope not a dream. I wasn't ready to be a hero! Hell I could barely pass my fitness exam! I'm not physically fit for this!
"Uhh you've got the wrong guy no way I could be the hero. I mean who'd choose a guy like me I'm the last person you'd want to pick to save your world!" I said sounding a little desperate, no matter how hard I have back my own world this is much worse
"Because you are hard-working and resourceful," the king replied. "And because you have already proven yourself capable of surviving in difficult circumstances. This is part of the prophecy"
I couldn't argue with that. I was a pretty hard working guy working five jobs and getting this good of grades is not an easy task not to mention everyone likes me. (He's delusional) but what the hell? Were they watching me..?! But I still didn't see how me being a hard worker and a Straight A student is gonna help me with this!
As if sensing my doubts, the king continued. "You will not be alone in this journey. My son, Kuro, will accompany you. He is a skilled warrior, and I believe he will be a valuable asset to you."
He motions to this blonde kid with green eyes he looked like a stereotypical narcissist rich kid. Ugh.. shouldn't in Isekais there be a hot princess who falls in love with the hero?? Not some bratty rich prince and he looks the same age as me why couldn't he be a girl??. This is just my luck.
Kuro, who was standing next to his father with his arms crossed. He looked like he'd rather be anywhere else but here.
"Hello, Kuro," I smiled at him. Holy fuck just saying that was so nerve wracking. I not used to talking to other people they talk to me. (He's still delusional)
Kuro didn't reply, instead giving me a disdainful look and looking at his father. "I don't see why we need this guy," he said to the king. "He doesn't look like much."
Ugh! He's exactly what I imagined. Part of me before was hopeing that it wasn't so but I was unfortunately completely right. Man I really wanna wipe the smug look off his face.
"Right then. Kuro will be your mentor. You'll have a month to prepare and get ready. You are all dismissed" He said smiling.
"WHAT?" We both said at the same time.
"I not going to train this.. this.. peasent boy Father!" Kuro said in an outburst.
"Please sir! No offense to you but I don't want to train with this stuck up." I look at the king "And only a month is insane!"
"This is an order. You two are dismissed" The king looked at us sternly as the two of us gave up.
