《The misfits of the unlikely hero》 Prologue to an old new world It is tuesday afternoon. The math teacher is about to end the lesson and we will be freee, well... maybe only for two to three minutes but i need to relax really badly. Oh, where are my manners, my name is Iaco but everyone says Jack for some bloody reason. I live in a small village near Yorkshire, pretty neat and peacefull. -Hey Jack, daydreaming again?- This guy is Ruben, friend of mine and a fellow nerd with a knack for dark humor.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. - Leave him, you know how bad his mornings are- That¡äs Rafael, he was born in Spain but has been living in my neigborghood since we were seven years old- Dont get too close or you might catch his laziness. -Hey... you are probably right- I retort, it¡äs useless to argue with him, he always wins. Suddenly the classroom starts to shine while everyone begins to scream and curse. Chapter 1
Welcome to ArCadia hero, you are being summoned to help the Kingdom of Gritariena to dispell the evil that endangers them. To help you in such a Titanical quest you will be given superior abilities such as great strength and wisdom. Will you accept this gift?
-Ok, lets think of this gift thingy since it seems pretty important before freaking out- Talking to myself always helped me relax and think clearly- Can i have something else, an overall buff seems inefficient. Im probably going to center myself around some stats more than others, that is assuming the fact that im picking a class or something like it.
What do you desire then hero?
-Can it be anything?. If so i would like the power to rule over vectors by sheer will - That is one of my dreams and most desired fantasies.
So be it. You will now be sent to the summoning zone. Do your best.
And whitout the chance to ask anything else i was faded into the new world. -Where am i? - Oh, yeah, the summoning zone. It looks like a circular shaped cathedral, above me there is a giant mirror that reflects the light entering from the windows to illuminate the whole place perfectly. - Iaco is that you?- That sounds like Rafael, and there is Ruben and all the others apparently. - Yes it¡äs me. Did you guys also have a talk with an unknown entity right now? - Yep, he told me i was a hero of some type. - Me too.- You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. - May i have your attention please- The one talking introduced himself as the prince and our summoner, he told us to come to the throne room. We arrived a minute later, it was a really richly decorated room with a red and deep blue and gold decorations, the sides where compossed by two rows of pilars that separated what appeared like the royalty froms the other aristocrats. The queen introduces herself and her family to us and starts telling us our mission and how our stay will go. - Thank you heroines for answering our call and helping us fight the darkness that lurks within this land, we will provide you and your assintants... - There might be a missunderstanding here, we.... - DON¡äT YOU DARE TO TALK TO ME LIKE THAT MALE, LEARN TO RESPECT YOUR BETTERS! Of course as you may have predicted, i intervene calmly to ask her the reason for her reaction -WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN - I know what you are thinking, he is such a gentelman right?. Nah, i will be risking my health if i did that since she is the ruler here and i do not have any way of fighting back if she tries to kill me.- We are also heroes, not assistants and fellow human beings over that so we would appreciate some respect if you are kind enough- I¡äm making her pay for making me get to this level, but that is for later business. - I will since you seem to know basic manners- Bitch, i think to myself while listening to her rant- You will be provided a mansion to live, in a month a corp of high paladins will come to train you, meanwhile the prince and princess will help you to solve your questions. You are all dimissed for now. The mansion was close to the castle, it only took five minutes by carriage to get there. I got a carriage with the other males (including the prince) and since it seemed like here society was pretty misandric i asked the prince the reason for it. In this world females usually have more magic power and mana than males, that led to a point where males were treated like possesions, i mean, why train a whole year to get muscle mass when strenghtenning spells can do it better, faster and easier. Also, religion promoted this ideology wich helped since people believed blindly in their patron godess (of course), this made this world an opposite version of ours in the middle ages. The mansion was simple looking and was divided in two parts, males got the east pavilion and females got north, west and south. Chapter 2 The moment the carriages were gone we decided to meet each other in the hall and sumarize everything that happened today. The main hall was very well decorated, there were enough couches for all of us. The conversation was oppened one of my classmates. Her name is Sasha, if i needed to describe her in only one word it would be elegant, didn`t matter what she was wearing, she always looked a bit ethereal and royal like. - Thank you all for coming here, as you may have realized, this is not a dream or anything like it- No shit sherlock i thought desesperatly- upon arriving here, the princess wanted us to tell you to look at your status since it will define your training and position in this team, to open it, just say or think status- like clockwork, this is a really predictable world- your status should display a series of statistics averaging beetween 20-30 if what the princess said was true. It should also say your class and your gift from the godess. - My stats are averaging near 40- that is Sarah, a bit bitchy and superficial but a good person... i think, most of the time i only talked with Ruben and Rafa, apart from that i just knew their names, they are all females making us three the only guys at class, in total we make a group of fourteen people. I really want to get this meeting done, they are all screaming of how all their stats average at 40... idiotsIf you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. - Caml down, that is the effect of the godess`s gift, the princess said it will make you stronger- WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU CHOOSE A BUFF LIKE THAT ONE, ITS INEFFICIENT TO SAY T..... they have never played an RPG rigth?. God we are so screwed. - Excuse me but i chose a diffenrent gift. It gives me a lifesteal effect- Ruben wasn¡ät too much into games like RPG, more like a Mario kind of guy but he loved to be able to heal while dealing damage, still it was risky to choose that, what if you had to become a tank or a support class, it will became useless. - Me too- I said, if i didn¡ät they might catch me when they asked my stats, also, i`m apparently a monk now- But i can`t tell about my ability as part of my deal with the goddess- Bullshit, but still, i`d rather not let anyone know about the vector magic. - That is a shame- Sure, but you dont seem convinced- Tomorrow the servants of this mansion will arrive and some soldiers will arrive two days later to help us train while the paladins don`t arrive. That is all for today, good night. We all went to our rooms, Rafa and Ruben got normal rooms while i got the one that albeit being smaller it had it`s own libary/studio, I want to try and guess how this world`s magic ticks. The room also has a short passage to the east training field, after the servants arrive i will start practising with spells, that way i will have an oppotunity if the queen snaps or something else happens. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. Chapter 3 The servants just arrived, and apparently the nobles that used to own them decided to tag along to meet the famous heroes, each one of us will have to spend sometime with some of them, precisely with the last owner of our personal attendant. It is a clever strategy, you use spending time with your new idol/star or something like it to financiate them, making you save money in the process. I had to spent time with countess Lyra no-idea-of-her-full-name. All she does is brag about her bloody war achievements and contributions while reminding me of how well trained her butler is. - May I know if you were engaged before coming here?- she is really annoying -No, i was single at the time- Just say the very least possible, they dont need to know everythingIf you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. - Then, were you waiting for your destined one? - No, i just got out of a realtionship and was taking some time to think - You were on multiple relationships with different people? - Yes- Fuck, i shouldn`t have answered yes, they act like in medieval ages about relations - What does your mother say about this matter, she musn`t like the fact that you haven`t found a bride yet. - That is my business, only mine- I`M GETTING REALLY PISSED OF BY THIS STUCK UP SNOBBISH NOBLE - In my opinion you have to..- That`s it - DIDN`T ASK, DON`T NEED IT, GO FUCK YOURSELF- That felt so good dammit, she just left..... Fuck. Servant 1 POV The new master is abou to arrive to the room, i was told to wait here and ask him about the type of services he will require, from what i heard he just disrespected the countess, such person can¡ät be a hero, talking like that to a noble woman is unthikable behaviour, especially in a men. I heard noises so i stand up and look at the door ready to greet him.
