I Maxed Out My Healing So I Don't Die in Another World

Chapter 1: The Summoning

Ketsu had always been an ordinary person. They led a quiet life in the bustling city of Verdon, working as an apothecary's apprentice, mixing potions and salves for a modest wage. But all of that changed on a fateful night when the sky above Verdon was set ablaze with an otherworldly light.

Ketsu had just closed up the apothecary shop for the night, the scent of herbs and elixirs lingering on their clothes. They were looking forward to a simple dinner and a good night's sleep. Little did they know, their life was about to take an extraordinary turn.

As Ketsu strolled through the cobblestone streets of Verdon, they noticed a strange, pulsating glow emanating from the town square. Intrigued and slightly apprehensive, they quickened their pace and soon found themselves standing at the square's edge, along with a crowd of equally curious townsfolk.

In the center of the square, a swirling vortex of light had formed, casting an eerie, shifting glow on the surrounding buildings. Gasps of amazement and fear rippled through the crowd as they watched this spectacle unfold.

Then, from the heart of the vortex, a voice resonated, clear and commanding, yet tinged with an otherworldly cadence. "I have summoned you, chosen one," it intoned, sending shivers down Ketsu's spine. "You are needed in the world of Aeloria, a realm teetering on the brink of darkness."

Ketsu's heart pounded in their chest as they realized that the voice was addressing them directly. They looked around, searching for answers, but the crowd's bewildered expressions mirrored their own confusion.

"I am Kyrastra, guardian of Aeloria," the voice continued. "In your world, you have unlocked a rare and potent gift—the power of healing. Your abilities have drawn you here to aid us in our time of need."

Aeloria. The name stirred something deep within Ketsu, a feeling of destiny calling out to them. But they couldn't comprehend the enormity of the situation. Healing? What did that have to do with the chaos unfolding before their eyes?

Before Ketsu could respond, a surge of energy from the vortex enveloped them, lifting them off their feet. Panic seized their heart as they were drawn into the swirling light, their surroundings blurring into a kaleidoscope of colors.

As they tumbled through the fabric of space and time, Ketsu clung to the hope that their newfound healing abilities might be the key to survival in this mysterious world of Aeloria. Little did they know that their journey had only just begun, and the challenges they would face would test not only their powers but also their courage and determination.
