Knowledge Is Power

The End But Beginning

**warning this may contain yaoi**

I don't know if I'm going to be putting yaoi in this or not, we'll probably have a vote, but if I do put yaoi in here and you dont like yaoi well don't read it

You were warned

*Narrators POV*

Naofumi finds himself in the library bored out of his mind. You might ask why, well it's probably the fact that he has already read all the fantasy and folklore sections in this libary, now for any other person this would have been fine seeing as reading out the whole folklore and fantasy section from a library would take several years, but then again Naofumi isn't most people, Naofumi his an extremely fast learner and reader so fast in fact that when he was eight years old he was already in eighth grade, when he was fifteen he had already got his diploma from a special online classes, and was a junior in college, this is largely due to the fact that he had photographic memory allowing him to memorize everything he sees. So now he finds himself in a dilemma.

*Naofumi's POV*(all POV's are naofumi's unless said otherwise, also Italized words means he's thinking in his head)

"I'm so bored, well might as well go check the fantasy section for new books, even though I know theres not going to be any. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. No-Wait, when did you get here."

Picking up a huge dusted book, that he has never seen in the fantasy section before.

"The cardinal heroes, hmmm...., never heard of them before let's see if your any good"

*Time Skip 3 hours because I'm to lazy*

Wow this is amazing, the folklore his so deep and precise, I've never seen folklore be describe in so much detail, with all there weaknesses, strengths, and usual dwelling areas stated, along with there usually strategies and traps. It's like they've created a whole world in this book, even going indebted on the magic in the folklore and how to manipulate it. With tons of secret dungeon locations, and artifacts, it's so detailed.

(Theres a map in the book with locations)

The four cardinal heros, hmmmm......... I see so they are summoned heroes from other worlds, the spear hero, the sword hero, the bow hero, and the shield hero. It says right here though that the shield hero is particularly unliked after being framed for rape of the princess, he is hated along with the fact that it's very difficult for the shield hero to level up he is often seen has weak, it also doesn't help that there is a whole religion against him, he's usually tormented and suffers usually due to his reputation being that of a rapist. Well it looks like I'm near the end.

*The book than proceeds to make a very bright light, and intricate symbol that knocks Naofumi out*

"Why is it so dark"

opening your eyes to see a bunch of people in robes and you and three other people on what seems to be an alter

"Yes it was a success we managed to summon all four of them, the king will be very pleased" said a person in a one of the dark robes

The other three people around me seemed just as perplexed, and do they have weapons? A bow, a sword, and a spear. Wait, No, No, No, No, No.

Looking down I see a triangle like shield, that looks to be made out of steel with a green gem in the middle.

No way this is happening, no way did I just get summoned to a world, I'm dreaming, Yes that's it I'm dreaming and I'll wake up at any minute, yes that's it just a silly dream that happened because I fell asleep reading that book. Why does it feel so real though, the air the ground beneath me, the cold, why does it feel so real, like I'm actually living through this and not just dreaming.
