Chapter 1 - The Summoned and the Reincarnated
Awaken to the brightness, I am confused as to where I am, but I notice the place I am standing is a vast white space as far as the eye can see. As I regain my composure and look around, it seems there are also many people got dragged into this unusual space. I starts to observe the surrounding and some familiar faces could be seen, they are the passengers and crew member on the plane with me.
"Welcome, you unfortunate souls, to my realm." (Unknown voice)
A powerful voice resounds in through the vast space. Everyone starts looking to the voice from the distance; a giant human-shaped white mass radiating with briliant light standing before us.
"You mortals must be confused because you all should have perished together in that accident. We are sure you mortals have many questions, however; you mortals should form groups before we continue to convey our purpose for this audience." (White mass)
As though they are under a spell, people start moving in all direction; groups, big and small, are gradually formed as they get to know one another. However, there are also exception; many individuals also stay outside of the circles, myself included. Since I am not particularly social with strangers, I simply stand idly by and observed the situation unfolded.
"Uhm... Good. Now you mortals may have guessed we are an entity outside of your feeble understanding; we are whom you mortals worship as God... As for the purpose of this audience, you mortals were simply chosen out of convenience to be summoned as heroes to another world ruled by enities similar to us." (God)This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
When God pauses a little, I could hear some murmurs from behind. A group of unusually excited high school students are engaging in heated conversation. This event must fantasy realized for these adolescent boys.
"However, not all can be summoned; there already are limited amount for the summoning. Since the amount of groups have exceed the limit; we allow a lottery draw to determined the 7 groups to be summoned as heroes. For the rest, we will have you await your fate." (God)
As God speak, a golden box appear in front of the groups together with several tickets floating besides it.
"As you mortals have seen, the tickets are for writing name of the representative of each group; and then put inside this drawing box. The 7 drawn tickets will be summoned to the other world."
As groups start to choose their leader, God turns to singled out people.
"For you mortals danced in solitary, your opprtunities are not subpar to the crowd; you have the chance to be reincarnated as new beings shredded from your former hollow shell. You mortals each are to be rewarded an ability of choice and one item. They can be from your imagination or of other''s creation such as novels, comics, movies; of course, there are also few restrictions wit addition to a price you mortals must pay. As we are benevolent and wise, we only require your memories; it is but an insignificant sacrifice for such immense power."
When I think about the power I have dreamt of, I can''t help feeling excited since I am a genuine manga enthusiast. I especially like fire ability users; when I imagine myself wielding those power, I could see how cool I will looks. Suddenly my vision darkens.

The figures of young men and women appear one after another with astonished looks, all of them are around adolescent age.
"Thank you, heroes from another world for answering our summon." (Woman''s voice)
A calming voice rang out from the entrance of the room; a woman with fiery appearance enters the room accompanied by a few people slightlybehind.
"Once angain, we would like to thank youfor answering our prayers, Heroes.

Thus I, Agneta DawnFeumien, First Princess of Brannfoc,hereby pleads for our people''s salvation. Please our Heroes, becomes our strength and light in these darkest hours." (Agneta)
As soon as the princess said that, she bows to the group of youth. From the group, a handsome youth with deep bue eyes and golden blond wavy hair appears and tries to reassures to princess.
"Please! There is no need for a royalty such as yourself to lower yourself to us; even without your pleas, we would still assist you in fighting the evil that endangers the human of this world. We, the proud students of the Royal Goldreich Academy, shall liberate this world from the clutches of the demons and bring peace to the good people of this land." (Youth)
The youth extends his hand as a gesture for his sincerity but quickly retacts since he does not yet know the proper manner in this foeign world and tryies not to appear rude.
"Please excuse my rudeness. My name is Wilhelm Lehmann, I am acting as the representative of our students. We would like to discuss what is going to happen from hereon and what kind of training do we need since our experience are lacking even if we are Heroes."
Surprised from the unexpected good manner from the youth, Agneta then regains her composure and explains to the Heroes about this world.
Meanwhile, inside another chamber within the castle, the queen, Adione Fleur Feumien, is about to give birth to the fifth royal heir; people are busy running about making preparation for childbirth delivery. As the maids are making sure everything is in order for a safe delivery,Adione starts going into labour. After an hour into labour, the king is waiting outside the chamber for the news of his queen and child''s well-being; at that moment, a maid comes out the break the news.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Queen has safely delivered your heir His Highness the Prince." (Maid)
At the same time above the castle, the sky opens up and a single ray of light appear in the chamber.
"Waah...Waah..."
A baby''s cry resounds through chamber''s door. While the king, Idris Mikhail Feumien, is overwhelmed with joy upon hearing the news of his queen and newborn child; out of nowhere, bright light envelop the whole chamber. Idris is dumbfounded at the sight and could not react.
"My queen, my queen! Are you unharmed? Where are you, my queen? Answer me." (Idris)
A few moment passes and Idris hastily bursts into the chamber, what first catches his eyes is a crying baby clad in blue flames lies next a pile of ashes. bewildered for a moment, Idris shifts his eyes to the bed area; to his relief, Adione is there while in state of deep slumber due to exhaustion. Afterwards, as Idris have calmed down, he carefully observed the room; all the maids seem to be frightened and horrified at the baby. He then veers his attention to the baby; Idris knows from the first look that ths child his own kin.
"O Great One of Fire, grant me thy power, to wield and command the blaze, no flameshall harm me, no fire greater than mine. Erase, "
After the chant finish, the blue flame enveloped the infant slowly diminishes and vanishes. Idris then approaches his child.
"Your Majesty, you must not get near that child, he is dangerous. He has been cursed by the Gods. He''s been possessed by a demon. My friend was... "
One of the frightened maid tries to convinced Idris not to approach the boy. Idris is enraged that someone says his own blood and kin is cursed and on top of that, possessed. That is a unforgivable crime.
"O Fire of Young, heeds my command. Burn, "
The maid is caught on fire and quickly disintegrated into ashes. Subsequently, everyone is hurriedly on their knees; none dares not to raise their heads while trembling in fear that they will be next.
"Insolence! My kin is no demonic child. He''s blessed with great power yet to be controlled." (Idris)
Idris also notices besides his son, there lies a unsual sheathed blade. He picks it up and tries to unsheath the blade; to his surprised, it does not budge at all. He then put more strength into it; however, the blade remainssheathed. Idris thinks this strange artifact must have something to do with the mysteerious light and his son.
"Hahaha... my son is truly blessed to receive a gift from the Gods in addition to his innate aptitude with Fire; born as the third son of our royal family, I, Idris Mikail Feumien, grants you, my son, the name Edan Kai Feumien."

Chapter 3 - Stalemate Period
Ten years have passed since the arrival of the Heroes; with the addition of their strength, the humans have regained fewof their lost territories.
Kingdom of Water,Vacqua,
Erith Town,
The town is bustling with life that no one would believe this place was deserted 12 years prior due to the demon''s invasion. The people of Erith Town feels indebted to the Heroes who drove out the invaders, it is thanks to them that everyone could return once again to the that they have bitterly departed.
Today the town has some unexpected visitors; inside a quiet tavern, a group of dozen people is having discussion while enjoying their meals. The group consists of fivemen and sevenwomen; one of them, in particular, really stands out of the rest. A stern man with stubble in his forties wearing a grey overcoat with two dragons, black and white, facing outwards embroidered in the back; hanging on either his waist is apair of swords matching the dragons in colours. One could feel the aura both menace and tranquility intertwining emanating from the man.
"Viktor, what will you do about Ceith''s Front? That damn demon king is really holding down the fort."
One of the man asks him about their problems surrounding the issue of marching towards Ceith''s Front, the main war front situated on the former Ceith Castle Town of Vacqua Kingdom. Viktor, who is also known as the Hero of Regalus Empire, together with his companions are supposed to have an information exchange with another Hero from the Vacqua Kingdom, Markus.
Looking back, ten years had passed since Viktor, his wife, and his two daughters summonedhere to ight the forces of demons; joining them are two other families they befriended while they were still in that white space. Even though they had arrived at this world for a decade, none of than had age since. According to Regalus emperor, they are bound by a contract of this world''s will, the Stigma of Stagnant. They were strengthened to the level of Heroes through the summoning; but at the same time, their growth were also reduced significantly, time also had stopped for them. They only way to remove the Stigma is to fulfill their purpose of being summoned.
Thinking back, Viktor smile bitterly. After they were summoned and given details about this world; they started basic to advanced training within a month, and were immediately dispatched to the front line. At first, they had some success pushing back the demons, but a strong threat appeared and caught them off guard. One of demon generals decided to take the battlefield, but he underestimated strength of Heroes and got defeated; however, Viktor''s side also had suffered some casualties and quickly retreated.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
Realizing that their may not be enough for upcoming campaign against the demons, Viktor had suggested continuing their training; the emperor did thinkthat he may have been too imprudent for hastily dispatch them to the battlefield, he offered Viktor''s group to delve into dungeons and gained experience fighting magic beasts dwelled inside.
Dungeons are the manifestation of highly accumulated magic power; the densed magic power then creates magic beasts, and these magic beasts are usually hunted for their core. These harvested cores are sold as fuel for most of the magi technology exists to present day; they are the foundation for the livelihood of the human society.For that purpose, a system known as the Adventurer''s Guild was established to manage the people who take on this job as Adventurer.Aside from harvesting magic cores from dungeons, adventurers can also accept questssuch as escort, bodyguard, investigation, subjugation, and miscellaneous quests.
Many dungeons have been erected throughout history, and some of them are called Great Dungeons for they are nests of magic beasts of myths and legends. In the most recent decades, there currently exists three Great Dungeons; the Labyrinth of Suuri Oguz, the Tower of Nepriae, and the Abyss of Szakaar. Seeing that Viktor and co. wanted to improve themselves, Regalus emperor had requested the Adventurer''s Guild for an escort and guarding of Viktor''s group to the Tower of Nepriae situated in the south-western part of the empire. For three years, Viktor and co. had struggled through one third of the Tower; but their training was cut short as there were reports of big movement from the demons.
One of the six Demon Kings, Jatin the Destroyer, stormed the battlefield and defeated the Hero of Forseti, Markus. Fortunately, Markus survived the confrontation; nevertheless, he received grave wounds and had to recuperate in the capital of Vacqua. After defeating Markus, the Destroyer did not march forward but retreat to the base of today''s Ceith''s Front. It was the first time a Demon King made his appearance since the invasion, the queen of Vacqua had to request for the assistance of other countries'' Heroes in the subjugation of the Destroyer.However, her plea was met wih failure because there were news of three more Demon Kings had appeared on the front lines.
Situated in the central regions of the continent of Deitus , the Regalus Empire surrounds its border with all four Great Kingdom. Realized that the Regalus Empire was not in imminent danger, Viktor and co. decided to answered the plea of the Queen of Vacqua. During their stay at Vacqua''s border, Viktor and his companions had some encounters with the Destoyer, but they did not suffer any heavy losses. Viktor was glad that their effort in training was not in vain. However, their stregnth was not on par with a Demon King.
In the course of seven years until to day, the Empire''s Heroes have continued to defended the border of Vacqua from the demon invaders; the Heroes of Vacqua also recovered during the period and Markus also discovered the hidden power within his holy armament, the Forseti Axe. According to Markus, there are many secrets hiddeninside the holy armaments; if they can unlock those secrets, they could easily take down the Demon Kings. Today, the two great Heroes, Viktor Norstrom of the Twin Swords and Markus of the Golden Axe, had decided to join forces in order to defeat Jatin the Destroyer.

Within the training room for the royal guards, a young boy with mismatch of deep crimsonand blak hair is swinging a sword vertically repeatedly while under the watch of an elderly man. Edan has been practicing his sword skills under His Majesty''s order since the age of five, with his master''s, Furian Guise, guidance, Edan''s sword skills improved as each day passed. Edan has been doing his swinging routine for the last five years; this routine has helped him warm up before all his actual sword practices and tempered his mind.
"That''s enough, Edan. For today session, you will have spar with me. Let me see the results of your training." (Furian)
After saying that, Furian takes out a broadsword and approaches Edan. When Edan is within the range of his sword, Furian suddenly charges in and swing the sword in his hand with amazing speed at Edan. However, Edan precisely evadesthe strike with and thenbrandishes his sword to Furian''s flank. Noticing Edan''s sword, Furian raises his sword and counter the it by blowing it away with his sword; after that, Furian charges in again and rigorously strikes down his sword, not giving any moment for Edan to react. While leaving with no choice but to continuously defend against Furian''s series of attacks, Edan tries to finda blind spot in Furian''s charges.
Edan is a sword prodigy, he is praised by Furian as his best student thus far. Learning the Ferocious BlazeSword Style from Furian while adding his own inspiration into the sword, Edan has secretly developed his own sword style. It may not be perfect but it should bea good counter to Furian''s sword style. Thinking that he will gain the upper hand, Edan decides to meet head on with Furian''s sword.
As Edan readies his sword for a counter, his body suddenly gets enveloped in blue flames. The flame spreads through his body and burns all things around him; the clothes he is wearing starts to crumble to ashes and th sword in his hand melts away in the intense fire. However, one single pendant still remains untouched by the flame and instead dazzles in crimson light.
"Edan! Quickly, release the spell to seal your flames." (Furian)
While Edan is in daze for a moment, he hears Furian''s shout in front of him; as he recovers from the shock, Edan begins to chant a mysterious incantation. While the incantation is forming, the pendant also shines with dancing fire emerging from within the crimson jewel.
"O Divine Fire of Old, unleash your might and devour the flames of wild, "Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
As the spell releases, the flame that is spreading through the area around Edan is quickly consumedby the crimsonfire emerged from the jewel until there is nothing left. The area aroundEdan is scorched beyond recognition, he is left with nothing but the pendant on his neck. As if nothing is allowed to exist on the pathhe treads, the sight surrounding Edan is that of a burning hell. Afterwards, Edan collapses due magic depletion as the spell consumed not only the flame but also his magic power.
"Hey, have you heard? The Young Prince just destroyed the training room again. This has to be the fifth time this year. He really is a walking disaster, isn''t he?"
"Shhh... don''t talk to loud! The prince will wake up anytime soon, be careful or you might lose your head. Then again, the prince is causing too much damage to the castle, who knows if he will gonna harm the people, too. What is His Majesty thinking? Letting that monster walks around without restraint of any kind."
"His Majesty istoo doting on the Third Prince, just because he has great aptitude for fire element and possesses a unique flame attribute. However, he can''t even control his own power; one of these days, he''s bound to hurt someone and His Majesty will realize that the prince''s power is nothing but a curse."
While Edan is still recovering in hischamber; outside, the guards are chattering about their destructive prince and how disastrous his power could befall the people of the castle. Edan''s existence is not favourable and well-received within the castle, and people would want to avoidany contact with him. Since the day he was born, Edan has led a somewhat solitary; if it is not for the love of his parents and mentor, Edan would have not endured this hardships of people treating him like pest.
Edan was shunned; he grew up despisedby his siblings and their retainers for the love he received by his parents while all he has donewas caused trouble for those around him.Aside from his training with Furian or the time he was granted audience with his parents, Edan has always spent his life confined to his chamber. Despite their love forthe young prince, the king and queen were not allowed to be close to Edan out of fear that his power will one day be out of control and no one could stop it; as while Edan grew up, his power also grew with him.
As Edan awakes from his sleep, he finds himself on the familiar bed and his headaches in pain due to magic depletion. After a few moment passes, Edan regains his strength and helps himself out of the bed to reach for a certain sheathed blade with odd shapedon top of his studydesk. Edan tries to unsheathe the blade but to no avail; this blade had been his companion since birth or so he has been told byHis Majesty. Since the day he trained in the way of handling a sword, he has tried, day by day, to help his friend see the light of this world; buthe had, by far, been unsuccessful in his endeavour.
"Rejoice, my dearest friend! For the day has come for us to bid farewell to this hell. Today, we can finally meet the world outside."
With a resolute face, Edan whispers to himself as he strokes along his longtime companion.
