《The Fantasy tropes Encyclopedia》 The summoning 1 An otaku that has never done anything useful in his life and is stuck in his comfort zone finds himself in one of his favorite fantasy scenarios: THE SUMMONING. Part 1 Hi, my name is Kotatsu. My family name is not relevant here. In fact my whole life until this point isn''t. At least to me. Let me ask you a question. Do you hate it? Sitting at home because the whole world has nothing to offer for you, doing about the only thing that is enjoyable and fun to you: reading fictions or manga''s? Maybe watching one good anime once in a while? Yes, I hate it too. The world is just soooo booring, it has literally nothing to offer. It is only about money and we, the middle class, can only hope to have a job that we do not totally hate and can pay our bills from. I hate it. I hate it soo much. It just is not worth it. From birth they tell you that with enough effort you can become everything. Such bullshit, really... Right now I am just sitting in my room, in front of my PC. Today was school, I am in the 9th grade but fuck that. School is useless too and I am above that. How many people have abandoned school and became millionaires? A lot I am sure. All they teach there is how good it is to just learn and do what the authority tells you to and to never question it. If you do, you will be punished. The others also just do not understand me... This is why I do not go there. Starting today at least. My future? Who cares... It will just be sooo annoying when that bitch finds it out... She is totally gonna scream at me and will start to cry, as if I give a shit. I can already imagine how she will sit in the room right next to mine, of course so that I can hear her 100%, and then talk to her friends on the phone how useless and how much of a disappointment that youngest son of hers is. Fuck off and die dumb bitch, just go to your mediocre job and be happy with it, or not. I just hope that she buys me some pizza and ramen though... At least I am her son and she is supposed to care for me. Only good thing here, or I would have run away a long time ago. Done with my daily activity, I take the used tissue and throw it away. After a long sigh I just exit the incognito mode in my browser and watch a few YouTube videos, nothing special. I just noticed that a review of the anime episode I just watched is out, better check it out. That faggot always gets it wrong and so it is on me to point it all out in the comments, geez... While watching the video I just think to myself again: How boring... I just wish something exciting would happen to me. In that very same moment I could feel it, like on command from god himself. As if gravity around me went down some... I don''t know the measurement of it. I just felt very light all of a sudden and I believe that I was floating in the air. It is just that like my body, my mind also felt really light and I could only see a bright light above me just before I lost my consciousness. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. I have no idea how much time has passed since then, but when I woke up I felt... good. It was weird, like my body and mind were much clearer and stronger all of a sudden. Opening my eyes, I looked around me. Lying on the ground in a giant extravagant room of some sorts, full of other humans, I slowly stood up. For some reason all attention was driven to me. Also everyone was clothed in all kinds of beautiful dresses and they looked royal. Now that I pay more attention to detail, it was a celebration of some sort, with large quantities of quality dishes on sliver plates. I even saw a complete pig that was fried and had an apple in its snout. Also right in front of me there stood 5 old men completely clothed in dark robes and with long gray beards, with long staffs in their hands. Just like everyone else they just stared wide eyed at me. Behind them, on a throne, sat another man with a crown on his head. On his right stood a.. bear of a man. Easily taller than 2 meters with a biceps that was wider than my body, completely clad in plate armor and with a giant sword on his back. To the right of the man with the crown, presumably the king and ohhh yes, I already totally understood in what kind of situation I was and I also believe that I had a giant erection right now... Well, there stood the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen in my life. In a stunning white dress and with facial features that must have been designed by god personally, there she stood with a stunned expression on her beautiful face and eyed me with a slight blush. I quickly looked down to see if I was maybe naked and thanks god, I was not. It was still the same loose cloth that I was in before I was teleported in here. However, if before it barely fit me because I was excessively fat, now it almost ripped because of my muscle?! A little stunned at that amazing development, I just looked down on me. ¡°Hero!¡± The king stood up from his throne and spoke in a loud and happy voice to me. ¡°Welcome to our world! Welcome to the kingdom of the great Kaldimar! You have been bestowed with the honor to protect us from the evil that exist in this world. State your name hero!¡± The king spoke while everyone else could barely even swallow their saliva in this silence. I looked at him with the most sincere and happy smile that I think I ever had in my entire life. ¡°My name is Kotatsu. It is an honor. ¡° We stood in front of each other and loud cheering was heard from all around us. The only thought that occupied my mind right now was: I knew it. The years of the borefest of my previous life and all the abuse were preparing me for it. I am a main character! The summoning 2 AN: Please consider that if you might find any kind of behavior cringe worthy then it is part of the characters. Also: Milady (Tips fedora.) Part 2 I sat in a large room that was given to me so that I could relax. Supposedly I should be very tired right now, but on the contrary I felt better than ever and could probably run a marathon right now without breaking a sweat. This is even funnier because it comes from me haha! I quickly changed my clothes into something more befitting of the hero. To my left was a huge mirror and for the first time I actually got to see myself.. First thought: HOLY DIHAREA! I look like someone who has been drowning in pussy for his whole life. That face of mine right now would probably be handsome enough so that a teacher would fall for me even if I was only 7 years old, you know, the good kind of pedophilia. Just extremely handsome and manly with a short hair cut like before but without a beard. I am even sure that once I have a beard I would be even manlier. And my body... I look like my older brother, but even better. Absolutely ripped and athletic. Enough muscle so nobody would mess with me but also not so much that I would look like hulk. Just a perfectly designed sex machine, I mean hero. There was also the talk about me fighting the evil of this world, which is understandable and makes me even more exited since it means one very important thing: Motherfucking magic! I was so exited right now! From excitement I just went down on the floor and started to do push ups. When was the last time I actually did them? I think a couple of years ago.. Anyhow, I remember only being able to do like 15 before my arms could no longer support my body but right now I just did them one after another with extreme speeds and accuracy, my whole body moved completely like I was intending. Now after about 100 of them I grew bored and started to do them on one arm. Again, I did not even sweat a little, as if I was doing something minuscule and natural to me. Well, does not matter, I stood up and stared at my perfect body in awe. ¡°Wait... Fantasy world... I am a hero.... Maybe.. Show status!¡± A blue window opened itself before me. AN: Unfortunately I have no idea how to actually do those blue windows on this web site.

On one hand they are all pretty fucking awesome and overpowered, on the other hand I only have 4 spells plus I need to chant before using them? Well, that kind of sucks... I wish I had awesome rap skills so I could speak like 10 words per second haha. ¡°Do I also have to remember all of those chants?¡± I asked annoyed. Before me a notification opened up. ¡°Chant assistant has been activated. Please think of the spell you want to activate and it will be automatically chanted for you.¡± I had an absolutely amazed expression. ¡°Well, that was easy haha.¡± Also I can now be absolutely sure that there is a god in this world and he granted me those powers. I gave the sky above me a thumbs up. ¡°Thanks buddy.¡± But no notification answered me. Well, anyway... It was boring here, so I just went outside of my room and navigated right back to where the celebration to my honor was taking place. It was one hell of a labyrinth the castle that I was in, but my memory was just out of this world and so I quickly found it. As I walked in all the people that stood near the entrance quickly noticed me and stared at me in awe, some snickering for some reason, maybe curiosity? But it was in a friendly manner and I was shown absolutely no hostility from anybody. I just greeted them quickly and walked aimlessly around, enjoying myself. Slow music was played and some people even danced in the middle of the room and when I looked towards the king, he was talking to the excited princes. Feeling a little hungry I wanted to get myself something tasty and walked to the buffet. At the same time more and more people stared at me and I noticed how it got quieter around me. From the corner of my eye I noticed how a woman in a maid outfit was rushing towards me with a plate of dishes on it. I was sure that we would not collide with each other since I was in her view, but when I expected her to avoid me she just bumped right into my shoulder and all of her plates were sent in the air. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. With my left arm I caught her hip so that she would not fall and embraced her while also catching all of her plates with my other hand like something straight out of a cartoon. So we just stood there and I looked straight into her face. The woman, while not on the level of the princes was still ranks above me from the previous world and beautiful enough so that I would be afraid to even look in her direction, but right now that same woman was completely scarlet right to her ears and was breathing heavily while looking at me. ''She is totally wet.'' I thought and gave her a charming smile. ¡°Are you okay milady?¡± I asked while looking directly in her eyes. She looked shyly away and nodded. ¡°Yes, I am sorry my lord.¡± Looking at her face I noticed how one of her eyes was completely white and unfocused. ''What injustice, such a beauty deserves better'' I thought. As I let her go and allowed her to regain balance and dropped the plates off on a table, I came to her side again and placed my hand on her right cheek, right next to her blind eye. ¡°Allow me milady.¡± I was carefully stroking her cheek. In my mind I said ''Pure Heal''. My mouth was moving on its own and almost like a beautiful song the chant was sounding throughout the castle. Now all attention was on me again. The maid was surrounded by light, not so much so that we would need to look away but just a beautiful light that made everyone''s eyes glued to the spectacle. When the light diminished the woman looked in disbelieve. She blinked and looked with teary eyes at me. ¡°Thank you my lord! I can see again! Thank you!¡± She bowed before me. I wanted to answer her but was grabbed from behind by a hand. ¡°The hero was bestowed with the true spells of light! All hail the hero!¡± A pope looking old man screamed towards everyone and they started to cheer at me. As soon as I turned around, the maid was already gone. What a shame, I did not even get her name. Afterwards I spent 3 hours being congratulated and praised from all kinds of nobility. It was not that exciting but I did find out what the current situation of this world technologically is. Like in pretty much all fantasy stories magic hindered the progresses of technology and as such the world was stuck in a medieval state. Plus awesome magic and dragons and all the good stuff. When I finally had enough I excused myself and went towards the balcony. The beautiful view of a large garden and the cool breeze on this evening finally allowed me to relax. I have been waiting my whole life for a chance like this. I just felt so happy right now. I did not question it at all. Just like in all the fictions I read, clear as day my duty was before me. Training and going out to slaughter the demon lord or whatevah, reap the rewards and enjoy a peaceful life. Maybe a harem? I mean definitely a harem! Just when I was leaning against the balcony and just enjoying the view, I heard someone behind me. There she stood, the princes. Looking even more beautiful and perfect when I stood so near to her. ''God damn it... If I could even kiss the back of her hand, I would die a happy man.. Wait, for a moment I forgot who I was now!'' I could not hide a smile as I was thinking about that. As she saw me smile, the prices blushed a little. Very subtly, as if she tried very hard to hide her emotions but could not do it completely. I turned around and my whole attention went towards her. ¡°Princess... I am afraid I have not been introduced to you. May I please know your name?¡± She flashed me a stunning smile. ¡°Of course sir Kotatsu. My name is Anna, the firstborn and only daughter of king Stephen Luzerus.¡± She did a courtesy bow for lady''s. I came forward and stood right before her as she tried her hardest not to blush and shy away. Going slowly on my knees I took her hand placed a kiss on the back of her hand. I was afraid that I might have crossed a line there but I just could not help myself and just did it and looking at the princes, she did not mind it at all. Anna''s complete face was red as she could not help herself but break our eye contact. ¡°Oh, I am sorry milady. Where I come from it is a common practice to do something like this to highborn lady''s.¡± She just laughed awkwardly. ¡°haha, I understand. So you would do it to anyone haha.¡± This was very cute so I stood up and told her. ¡°No, only the very special ones.¡± She shrieked in a high pitched voice and then covered her mouth in embarrassment. ¡°Oh, I am sorry. This was very inappropriate.¡± Anna looked down in shame. Subconsciously I started to pat her head. That silky blond hair was mesmerizing... ¡°Nothing that may come from you will ever be inappropriate..¡± Anna just stared at me like she just broke down mentally. Getting back her composure she coughed and asked me. ¡°Sir Kotatsu. If I may ask, what is your actual age?¡± ¡° I am 15 years of age. Why are you asking?¡± She looked at me in disbelieve. Like you would look at someone if he told you that you would be teleported away in the next few seconds to fight demons in a different world. ¡°What? But how can this be? You look so mature, there is no way you are younger than 20!¡± She raised her voice so loud that it was barely appropriate for a princes. So this is what it feels like... Good looks and status is all you need to make any girl fall for you. Well, we do not want to be sexist here and lets be real, same goes for women. I think at least. Me personally, I do not really care if a woman is ugly or pretty, as long as she was not fat hah. And now I am not even a hypocrite for thinking that way! This is my life from now on... I will have lots of fun getting used to it. I moved my lips right next to her ears and whispered. ¡°Princess... I suppose we will have the chance to see each other often from now on, I can''t wait.¡± And walked away. Inside I was again approached by a lot of nobles that all wanted to get to know me. To make it short, they all wanted something from me and not all of them were subtle about it, not now of course, but in the near future when I was an unquestionable person of authority. When I was about to just walk away in annoyance, the bear of a man in plate armor approached me and I heard the exposition bells ringing in my head. ¡°Sir Kotatsu. My name is Alfred. I am the general of the Kaldimar kingdom. Tomorrow I will send somebody for you and then we will talk everything over. I am also tasked with your training so we will also start tomorrow. For now I am sure you are very tired so I wish you good rest.¡± He went away just as quickly as he came. I wonder how many level ups I need to get stronger than him... Well, I was bored/slightly sleepy and as such I excused myself and went to my room. What a nice first day of my new perfect life as a hero. AN: By the way, please help me if you can and point out other cliches that I might have missed in the Summoning the hero story line. Of course many will still be comming but maybe I might miss a few. The summoning 3 Part 3 I woke up early in the morning and was completely awake instantly. I suppose I do not need as much sleep with my new body anymore. Damn, the world just keeps on throwing awesome shit at me without end. Just like my new extra 5 centimeter in an area that matters. I am of course talking about MY DICK! Yep, I received an upgrade in every part of my body. I believe my mind got some too. I mean I am not sure, my memory is better and my thought are clearer but how do you measure the capacity of your mind? You can''t do something like push ups to compare/ improve on it, can you? ¡°Don''t think there are clocks in this world.¡± I muttered as I was wondering what time it was. Looking outside the sun has barely came out. The season was also somewhere in summer so it could mean that it was somewhere 5 o clock plus/minus an hour. At least I think so... I just clothed myself in rather comfortable attire and walked outside. ¡°Breakfast?¡± I wondered but quickly dismissed this idea. I was never one to eat breakfast, more like wait till past mid day and then start slowly until you reach the time where normal people are sleeping and then eat all the junk food. So yeah, breakfast did not sound as good to me as it might to others. Walking through the castle I took another route than before as to see my new home. I reached something like the lobby and to my surprise I noticed there a big grandfather clock. 05:23 Wow, I was surprised. This world might be a little bit more progressed than I thought. I mean as long as they do not have internet I don''t really care, but it is nice to know. But then again, what do I need internet for when I got magic and women. Definitely an upgrade from before. Outside of the giant castle was the quietness of an early morning. Most were still sleeping and only a few servants were doing their business that might needed to be done before the royalty wakes up. Another noise that I could perceive was the noise of air being split apart, like someone was swinging something with high speeds. Walking towards it I saw the giant man from yesterday training with a training sword that had additional weights on it. ¡°Sir Kotatsu, good morning.¡± He stopped for a second and continued swinging. ¡°Ah yes, you too. So ahm, you told me that I would need to be trained right? When do we start?¡± ¡°Hmm. Well, first we will need to evaluate your skills. The legend says that a hero will be powerful from the day he is summoned and will only grow stronger so maybe we will not even need any training and can start to exterminate the filth.¡± He answered me while still absorbed by his training. ¡°Now that you mentioned the filth... Can you tell me a little bit about this world please? There has not been any exposition on that part yet.¡± He looked at me weirdly. ¡°Ahm, sure. So basically we are at war with the demon race, those filthy animal degenerates..¡± he spat out full of hate. ¡°We, the proud and chosen race of the great god of light have not always been so liberated and mighty, centuries ago we were a race of slaves. It has taken us a lot of effort to establish ourselves as a free race but now that we are getting more and more powerful the others are fearing us.¡± He laughed. ¡°That demon filth has openly declared war against us.¡± he spat on the ground. ¡°What about the other races?¡± ¡°Pff.. The elves are an arrogant bunch that has never moved their ass to do anything useful and have never helped us. The dwarfs are filthy miners that only want riches. Demi humans are barely intelligent enough to form communities, if they are not busy waging war for retarded reasons. The others are irrelevant and too far away.¡± Was that racist? NAH! ¡°Well, are there other kingdoms that are aligned with us against demons?¡± He grunted. ¡°The Obsidians to our south are barely more useful than the dirt on the ground. The Gomanials to the north only care about money, they have no honor! No we are on our own in this holy war and you are our biggest hope hero.¡± I nodded. ¡°Yes the demon race must be generally evil. The race as a whole. Without an exception. I will be sure to banish them from this world. By the way is there someone that is leading them. I don''t know.. something like a lord? A Demonlord?¡± The general nodded. ¡° Yes, he has been a pain on the ass for a while now. To my shame I must admit that no battle was won when he stepped himself on the battlefield.¡± ¡°Only good you got me now.¡± I laughed wholeheartedly and he joined me. The next couple of hours we spent talking with each other and the general told me about his family and the days of his youth, cool guy. I also got to swing that sword of his and he was astounded since I was apparently the only man beside him that could ever lift it and swing it more than one time. Well, what can I say... I am awesooome! Soon other soldiers joined us and the general did what I think was the standard military training. Running, sit ups and stuff like that. Just for fun I joined them and could happily see how I was above most of them in my physique. Fast forward another few hours and we were now on a wide training field with most soldiers watching me. The general wanted to test my strength and wanted me to spar with a few of his men. I just told him to pick a few capable ones since he looked like he wanted to start very low, but I ain''t no noob... A very muscular and dangerous looking man faced me with a training knife in one hand. On start the fight started and as if the battle mod in my mind was activated, my sins got very sharp and my perception of time got much faster. His fist flew very slowly towards my solar plexus as his other hand got ready to strike me with the knife. I smirked and dodged barely to the side. The poor man was only to be pitied... With barely a tenth of my strength I hit him in the gut. Like a rod of metal, my arm almost burst out of the other side of his body and before he knew what hit him, the man was sent flying towards his comrades with most of the bones in his body broken. Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. It was hard to hide my wide grin as I tried to look apologetic. Loud cheering was heard from everywhere and people stared awestruck at me. ¡°Wow, only the general was able to show such strength till now..¡± A soldier said out loud. ¡°Ha ha ha HA HA HA HAHAHAH!¡± A loud and dominant laughter echoed everywhere and the general himself came forward to give me a clap on my shoulder. ¡°To hell with training! We will move out to cleanse our lands from the filth! As soon as possible!¡± The man was carried away by happy comrades. We quickly made plans to ride out. On a horse. Always wanted to ride a horse. I was also told to go and get my armor and weapon. I hope its is badass and shiny. Slowly my hunger got the better of me and we parted ways. While the soldiers were training, I went for lunch. Maybe I get to see the princess again... A blushing maid told me the way to where lunch was served and was even adamant to lead me there by herself. Once I entered I saw the king talking with the pope looking guy from yesterday and no princes.. Well, no romance for me today it seems. ¡°Oh! If it isn''t the hero!¡± The king called out to me with a smile and mentioned for me to seat right beside him. Once I was seated the pope came to me. ¡°It is such an honor to have you here.¡± He stared at me like at an antiquary and looked like he wanted to touch me for some reason. ¡°Now that you are mentioning it.. Is it not common to summon heroes in your world?¡± The king shook his head in bitterly. ¡°Unfortunately the chances of the ritual succeeding are extremely low. It has been hundreds of years since it succeeded the last time. Most do not even try even. The hero himself has also to be a very special person and as such you could say that our summoning of you was more of a farce. This is until it actually succeeded and we could only stare in awe.¡± The pope joined our conversation. ¡°No, our almighty god must have seen us as the only last force facing against the filth and must have blessed us with the hero!¡± His eyes were sparkling as he stared at me. ¡°Hahaha. Yes, a blessing indeed.¡± The king patted me on my shoulder. ¡°Eat my hero. Eat and stay mighty and go and win the war for us, for our people, for our religion, for me! Do that and I will be sure to reward you handsomely.¡± After the cool speech we just sat down and enjoyed our quick meal. Fast forward till the evening of an other rather uneventful day and I stood before my new armor and my amazingly epic weapon. A full body plate armor made out of gold. Engraved in symbols and lions and eagles and other creatures. Must have been magic runes that enchant the armor, totally. It also had small wings on its back. The helmet was extravagant and also had wings on it. It must weight like a ton. Not that it is gonna be a problem for me though, pff... The sword was also on some frostmourne shit, I tell ya. It just looked to friking epic. It was a two handed giant sword with its blade twisting and turning and forming all kinds of shapes and having spikes that must all have a reason for them to be there. The smithy in this world is on some other level... With my new height and body shape I conveniently fit right into my new gear. Not giving a damn about what the others might think I said out loud. ¡°Show gear stats!¡± The others seemed to not mind but unfortunately I also got no notification... Hmm, weird. Must be broken or something. Everyone congratulated me on how mighty and heroic I looked in my armor and we talked about how tomorrow I would ride into my first battle. Can not wait to level up. It is sure gonna be a grind, not that I am complaining. That night I just slept like a happy kid with his new toy. In my case I slept with my new sword as it was sheathed. A few more days were spent like that in an enjoyable manner. I got to spend time with soldiers and nobles alike, often time those were the same people. This whole time I have been looking for one special person that I really wanted to meet again, but often only saw her from distance. The princes and me had virtually zero chance to talk privately. What a shame. Always have I noticed her longing glance towards me. Then a week later, one day before I would ride out to the front lines, after a tasty lunch with the most prominent dish being cheese, she subtly mentioned for me to follow her and so I stood up from my seat 1 minute after she left and did just that. We arrived on the same balcony where we spoke the first time. With my best charming smile I greeted her. ¡°Good evening Anna.¡± She was looking far away but then turned around and slowly came towards me, but stopped when she reached an arms length. ¡°Good evening sir Kotatsu.¡± She looked shyly at me. ¡°I am glad you got my message. I was not really sure whether you would follow me here...¡± I was daring today and as such touched her right cheek carefully and stroke it with my thumb. ¡°All this time here I have been waiting for a chance like that, how could I not.¡± Anna looked extremely happy at that and got a hold of my hand. She lovingly held it towards her own cheek. ¡°Sir Kotatsu.. I beg of you to be careful on your crusade, not that you will need to be. ¡°She smiled. ¡°But please return to me victorious and healthy.¡± She also decided to be daring and winked at me while having a slight blush. ¡°The king would surely allow his victorious hero to have any kind of reward that he might wish for, be it a castle or even maybe the hand of his daughter.¡± My eyes lit up from excitement. ¡°No demons will be spared, I promise it milady!¡± The princes beamed me another smile and gave me a quick kiss on my cheek before she ran off in embarrassment. Once she was gone I started to giggle and went back to my room. The summoning 4 AN: A quick note, I wont concentrate on the demonlord in this short story since that deserves one of its own. At least not a lot. And if anybody is wondering how long this short story will be: Like 3 or 4 more chapters. Part 4 Today was a very special day. The whole capital city was in uproar and got ready to send of its own military plus the small little fact that me, the hero will accompany them. Or better the military will accompany me huehue. I somehow am envious of the peasants.. After all they will get the chance to see me for the first time. This must be like the highlight of their life. Sigh.. must be good to have such an easy life... Well, anyhow. Right now I am helped by 3 different maids into my new awesometakular golden armor. I have not mentioned it before, but it ain''t easy to get into it. Takes like half an hour.. The only good thing about is how the maids, all female and beauties of course, ogle my body from head to toe and breath really heavy whenever they get to touch it. If only I also had an excuse to touch them... But unfortunately I have to be all hero and shit, not that they would not like it though. Also my virginity is certainly reserved for the princess.. I thought that while liking my lips in anticipation. I am even sure that we share that wish with each other. After my armor was on me and the maids made sure that everything was in the right place, and looked fabulous, I was led outside. There he stood... My horse. A completely white one with light golden armor protecting it in the most important places. Its mane was waving in the air beautifully and I was sure that it was one hell of a horse, befitting of a great hero. Behind me, on a balcony stood the princes and looked concerned as she waved her hand at me. I beamed her a wide smile and waved my hand back. I sat on it and we rode towards the army. Ten thousand of the best men, armed to their teeth, will be riding with me into the battlefield to slaughter demons with me and the general as the supreme commanders. Right now I think the general might be above me, I mean he was long here before me and all, but this will not be for long. Nothing against him, it is just that after a few level ups he won''t be shit against me. Now I wonder what the level cap is. Is it 99? 999? I guess that depends on how fast my progress will be. If I easily reach 50 than it can not be 99 but if it will take me years to reach even 20 then it must be 99. If there even is a cap. And what level is the demon lord? From my understanding I, as a hero am the only person with the ¡°hero assistance system¡± and levels and such. Others have to just train and hone their skills while I get stronger by killing my enemies. So yes, what level or what would be the equivalent to the demonlords level? Well, he is kind of the last boss around here, but then again, he is destined to be slayed by me so I will just meet him when the time is right and my level is high enough for it to be an epic encounter. Together with the army we rode through the city. A straight pass with people standing by the sides and cheering at us while I lead them. To my feet rose petals were thrown and everyone chanter ¡°HERO TO THE WIN!¡± and the great lord of light and such. It was the first time that I was outside of the castle. It looked pretty good. The houses were all in very good shape and looked like they were recently restored and cleaned, the city must be very rich to allow for such a thing to most of them. The people that stood around us also all looked well fed and dressed, chanting for me with their happy families and were all smiles. I also happily waved my hand to them and threw a few air kisses towards the pretty women. Their men did not even look all that jealous and were even happy for them haha. When I looked to my left I noticed a lone small boy from an alley as he came forward. Strangely he looked very dirty and underfed. As he noticed me he looked very hopeful and with astonishment at me. Since I was very goodhearted I waved towards him with a smile. The guards that guarded the people around noticed the little boy and angrily threw himself at him. He was taken away and when the guards returned they smiled towards me as to reassure me that it was nothing to be concerned about. Hmm, poor boy must have lost himself or something. At the end of our road we arrived at a giant empty gate that led to nowhere and everywhere at the same time, a portal. It would take us months to get to the border of this kingdom normally, but now we would be there in a few minutes. I could feel enormous amounts of mana being gathered as the portal was about to be activated and as if the matter was being torn in between the empty gate, a rift of darkness opened itself and formed into something that I think resembles a black hole. A vortex that sucks itself towards the middle. You know, I never saw a black hole if you can guess, but this is what I think it would look like. ¡°IT IS READY!¡± Someone shouted and I got the honor to enter as the first man. A quick loss of orientation and I saw how I stood somewhere completely else, a much smaller city by comparison. Here also a large crowd of people stood there and looked at me. I was already somewhat used to it and so I paid them almost no mind and waved my hand to please the crowd. Half an hour later the complete forces crossed the portal and we continued our journey. We rode and rode for a few days. It was noticeable how we crossed something like the border of this kingdom and it was very obvious that it was a different one already, the building and the culture as a whole was just different. Most of the houses were burned and were restored but some just stood there. Humans just lived their lives here without a worry and welcomed us so I thought nothing of it. The demons must have attacked here or something. I decided to ask the general who rode beside me the whole time. ¡°Yes.. This area was once owned by humans but the filthy demons took it over hundred of years ago. It was only recently that we have reclaimed our holy lands and we won''t stop until our lands are our as a whole again. And once we are done here we will go and turn all the other human towards the one true religion.¡± Soon we arrived at the demon border and saw how they were ready to fight us. A few scouts must have notified them. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. It was the first time that I actually got to see a demon. They looked just like humans but with redder skin and horns on their heads, maybe a tail or something that I do not see right now. It is really scary how similar they look to humans. Well, looks can really be deceptive... They had a force of about 5 thousand waiting for us. I quickly started to chant my 2 buff spells. Like a beautiful song the chant left my mouth and I started to shine in holy light and the morale of our army exceeded all possible limits as they screamed in joy before battle. Feeling the thrill before the fight, I could not contain myself and just jumped right into them over several hundreds of meters. When I landed the demons around me were blasted away. Quickly I started to swing my sword with all my might and slaughtered tens of demons with each swing as they screamed in in horror. I did not even have to defend myself as their attacks did not even go through my armor and even when it came trough, my skin was still harder than stone. ¡°SURROUND HIM AND TAKE HIM DOWN AT ALL COST!¡± A demon screamed for everyone to hear but was not smart enough to see that it makes no difference. From the side of my eye I saw that my army also started to attack after they saw my heroic attack. My surrounded by burning light sword was thundered down onto a young demon as the light remained on his wound and kept on burning with a whitish yellow flame and made him suffer from that deadly wound tens of times as it was the norm. Well, of course it was a one time thing as all the other demons were sliced by me with one swing and lost their lives instantly. If they were lucky, or not, they only lost limbs. I was like a storm of death while I slaughtered them left and right right in their mid and send horror to their hearts. My endurance seemed endless since I could go on like this for days without taking a break but slowly I had enough. ¡°Oh great lord, send me the power to banish all the filth that dared to invade your holy grounds as I am your servant and will serve you with all I have to offer.¡± I sang out loud and demons could feel my mana being concentrated before it shot outwards with me standing at the center. An explosion of blinding light shot out and killed many demons instantly while sent others flying, only few remained in the large shining area that remained after my spell. One particular dangerous looking demon lunged himself towards me and swung his sword at me. I thought that I would easily block his swing but unfortunately this was a feint and I was stabbed in my shoulder. ¡°ARGH!¡± I screamed from the pain and rammed my right foot in his chest. He was pushed away and we started to exchange blows for a few minutes until the general arrived and helped me to kill him. Surprising or not, but I do not like pain at all.. I hate it! My heavily bleeding shoulder, even through my armor, burned and I had to get myself together as to not cry right here in front of all those people. Quickly I started to chant my healing spell and only 7 seconds later the pain disappeared. Like this more than half of the enemies force was destroyed easily by me alone and humans roared from the obviously awaiting them victory. The remaining and mostly hurt demons started to retreat but were still slaughtered by us. Only a few managed to run away but if I wanted to I could still easily catch them. I just roared behind them. ¡°TELL YOUR LORD THAT A NEW HERO WILL COME TO CLAIM HIS LIFE!¡± -------------------------------------------------------- The next few months I fought lots of such battles. We pushed the demons back much further so they had to retreat their forces back. We pushed our borders much farther away and manned them before we were allowed to celebrate for days without end. The only interesting thing about that was that I for the first time in my life could drink alcohol and that I could tolerate a lot more than others. Also during my battles my level rose to 58 now. I got 5 points per level to put into my stats, so a total of 285 points to spend. From a few test I got that strength and vitality were the best of all of them since they boosted my physical powers by a lot. As such I put 185 points into vitality and 100 into strength. By now there were rarely ever demons that could even scratch me but they also rarely ever even attacked us. They seemed to have enough and hid in their lands or whatever. Anyhow, victorious I rid back to the capital to be welcomed as a hero, hehe. Unfortunately we could not take the portal since it was not an urgent matter to get back but it was not so bad traveling through the kingdom and being treated like Jesus fucking Christ and being showered by gifts of all kinds. One thing I noticed was that other cities were by far not as clean and rich as the capital, but that was like a minor detail. Well, sooner or later we arrived and were received by an even bigger crowd of people than before and they all chanted my name. I was received by the king and all the important nobles who all congratulated me and I was told that tomorrow a giant celebration would be held to my honor. In my room again, I changed my cloth and went towards the bathing area. Once inside I relaxed and waited for a maid to clean my body. Behind me the door opened and I turned my head around to only be completely amazed by what I saw. A naked woman stood there only covered by a towel that went from barely covering her nipples and under her private area. I gulped loudly and got very red. However I did not look away, this thought did not even cross my mind once as I stared at that woman. ¡°Hihi. I am honored to serve the great hero. ¡°She came forward. ¡°It would be an even bigger honor if the great hero remembered me. ¡°She shook her hips seductively. For the first time since she came inside I took a good look at her face. It was the maid that I have healed on my first day here that now looked at my body with hungry eyes and stopped in between my legs while biting her lower lip. ¡°My name is Katarina by the way. Nice to meet you. ¡°She smiled in a way that send all the blood in me to one part of my body in particular. The summoning 5 Part 5 Katarina came behind me and slowly started to massage my shoulders. She used a lotion to make it even more pleasurable. ¡°It has been such a long time since I had the pleasure to see the great hero...¡± She whispered in my ear. ¡°I have heard so much of your heroic deeds... Always in the middle of the battle so that others won''t get hurt.. Always concentrating all attention on you...¡± I laughed. ¡°Yes, of course, this is my duty after all.¡± She continued to rub lotion all over my body and joined me in the bath in front of me. The dangerous area... ¡°Do not worry my hero.. Of course I will not take your virginity, the princess made sure to mention that to me. ¡° She smirked. ¡° But this does not mean we can not have fun. Don''t you agree with me?¡± I nodded my head repeatedly to which she took my member in her gentle hands and started stroking it carefully. 5 seconds later she had to do a quick brake before I could continue with that *cough cough* Snickering and cleaning her face, she started to talk. ¡°You know, there have always been legends of the so called heroes and now that I see you, I must say that they are all true.¡± Between my moans of pleasure I managed to say out loud. ¡°Yes, mghh tell me more...¡± ¡°Well, the concept of heroes started waaay back then. Individuals, humans, that came from other worlds and were blessed with immense powers, much greater than any of us could achieve thanks to the unique system... Those heroes were not all as heroic as you, some even just straight up abandoned their positions and turned against their kings or even became demon lords... A safety measure had to be implemented and the ritual has been altered. Now only the very... pure souls can be brought here. People with... unpolished talents that can appreciative that gift much more. They have to be... pure and... young... ready to learn the true way. This ritual has always been humanities last trump card and so we are really thankful towards our great hero.¡± She said as I was shooting my second load, which this time was consumed by Katarina as if it was a delicious slushee. Heavily breathing I said to her. ¡°Glad to be here.¡± She laughed. ¡°Well, I think it is time to do what I was actually supposed to do and clean my master.¡± Katarina said before scrubbing my whole body. Without a sponge. Yep, she just could not get enough of me hehe. It did not take a while until I was done and it was time for the celebration. I got into a suit and was accompanied towards the banquet. Once I arrived there loud cheering and clapping resounded. Nobles in the hundreds surrounded me to congratulate me for my heroic deeds. The king held a short speech together with the pope and everyone was allowed to eat. I just sat there and watched out for the princess who was nowhere to be found. I was about to ask where she could be until a maid gave me something, a note. I opened it and for a second the writing was something I could not read but I only had to blink and once my eyes were opened it was written in English. ¡°Please come meet me in the south of the castle. I will wait. With love, Anna.¡± Excited, I ran outside and did not bother to explain myself. My horse was getting fed but I just mounted it and rode towards my princess. Not even a few minutes later, I arrived at a field of flowers with the princess sitting just standing there, waiting for me to arrive and looking even more beautiful because of the sunset that was currently behind her. I stopped right in front of her, sitting on my white horse and smiled gently at her. ¡°I hope I did not make you wait long milady.¡± She looked up and smiled widely. ¡°For you, I have waited my whole life, what are a few hours then..¡± ¡°Haha, is that not something a man should say? Not that I disagree..¡± I jumped down with grace. With flowers all around me I picked one that looked very beautiful and placed it gently in my princess hair. She blushed but did not object, just enjoyed my touch. As if she could not hold it any longer she hugged me. ¡°Sir Kotatsu, since the first time I have seen you, I have fallen in love with you. I can no longer hide it, please, before you go away from me again, please make me yours!¡± I had a shocked expression. ¡°Whaaa? Right here? On the field?¡± She grunted. ¡°No, I am talking about marriage. Today is the perfect chance. Please! Or this horrible... never mind...¡± I took her in a princess carry, hehe, and jumped on my horse. ¡°Yes, after all it is the duty of a man to ask her father for her hand!¡± Together we rode right inside the castle, not caring for anyone else. Once the people saw us, they looked like they wanted to object to our action but could not, since we looked just too majestic and nobody wanted to destroy that beautiful picture. ¡°My king!¡± I stopped together with the princess in the middle of the giant room, where we could be seen and heard by anyone. ¡°As your victorious hero, I have but one wish. Allow me the hand of your daughter and I shall be the happiest man alive!¡± The king looked conflicted. ¡°My hero, I would gladly comply, but unfortunately Anna has already been promised to sir Hobbel...¡± From behind me I saw an excessively fat and disgusting looking noble walking forward and looking very smugly while he answered. ¡°Indeed, our marriage has been approved by the gods themselves... Unfortunately, even if I wanted to, a marriage is destined to happen between us..¡± He smiled and showed his yellow teeth. Still in my arms, the princess looked like she was about to puke in disgust. ¡°My king!¡± The pope spoke up. ¡°But how could we possibly deny the wish of the hero himself? He is who represents our god! If he wishes to marry the princess then how could god possibly object to such a wish?¡± He walked in front of us. ¡°Hereby I declare that a marriage between the hero and the princess be approved by the faith!¡± I looked back and saw the noble getting absolutely pale and crestfallen. Angrily he stormed out of the view of everyone. The king also stood up. ¡°If the faith has no objections then I will not have any either! The marriage shall be held in a month and shall be the greatest wedding the world has ever seen!¡± He also muttered barely audible enough so I could hear it. ¡°What a nice development hehe.¡± I think he was happy to have the hero in his family. Anna also shrieked from happiness in a high pitched voice and could no longer control herself as she gave me a wet kiss on my lips and everyone around us, well almost everyone, stared to whistle and cheer. Me and the soon to be my queen walked shortly after outside, the official version was to return my horse but really it walked back on its own while we stood outside the door and started to make out with each other. Stolen story; please report. ¡°Thank you my love.¡± She managed to say out loud in between my assaults with my tongue. ¡°That disgusting monster would have tormented me my entire life if not for you. Unfortunately we will have to wait until the wedding night for me to give you my greatest gift, but I am sure we will find a way out of this dilemma...¡± She had a dangerous smile which I returned. Once back inside, we were both congratulated by the nobles around us. It was almost sad how everyone seemed to forget my heroic deeds and now was focused on the marriage.. Sigh, well you can not have both... Like this the banquet continued and we enjoyed the music and dishes, danced and joked around. The princess seemed to have lost all shame as she started to openly grab my butt and rammed her nails in my flesh, which of course did not hurt at all, it was rather surprising how her nails did not break but whatever. Suddenly and out of nowhere the door was swung open with force as a lone woman ran inside. If I had to describe her it would be a 8/10. Maybe a 9.5 if she was cleaned and had proper clothes. Her clothes right now were a dirty brown dress that I saw the poorest of peasants having while traveling. She did not have any jewelry but for some reason had a black collar on her neck. That woman ran right up to the fat noble from before and started to plead him for something. Behind me the princess started to whisper inside my ear with her smooth and gentle voice. ¡°Oh my... what is a slave doing here I wonder?¡± I looked back to her. ¡°Slave??¡± She nodded with a sad expression. ¡°Yes, a person that has been enslaved by the ancient contract... Most of them are from other races but as you can see my hero, some nobles just take humans that they like but do not get a result they would want from courting those and well.. enslave them.¡± The princess hugged me and whispered. ¡°A slave seal is a disgusting spell that ends the life of a woman.. No longer can they defy their master and every wish must be done without questions... Never will they bear children and will only die when their body has finally given up. There are also the... rewards...¡± She smiled sadly. ¡°Rewards?¡± ¡°Yes, rewards... For a slave a reward is sex. The seals makes them carve for it and since it is the only shadow of the thing they once knew as joy in their life, sooner or later what was once rape, they will be brainwashed to think of it as reward. What a poor soul that woman is..¡± A lone tear was shed from my princess as she watched the slave from before being angrily shouted at by the noble. ¡°WHAT? UNACEPTABLE!¡± I shouted out in rage. Anna smiled at me. ¡°Yes my hero. Just thinking that my fate would have been similar to those poor souls if not for you makes me shudder... Will you just let it be unpunished my love?¡± Lost in fury I stormed towards the noble as he was pulling the slave and was about to go away with her, shouting how dare she storm in here without his permission and how he has been ¡°too good with her¡± but was stopped by me. ¡°HOW DARE YOU BRING SLAVES IN HERE IN MY PRESENCE! ENSLAVING YOUR OWN RACE!¡± Sir hobble or whatever started to sweat buckets as his arm that was grabbed by me broke under the pressure. ¡°Please my hero arghh... She is just a woman from Gomania that got sold by her family, I helped her!¡± I did not let him finish as I slapped him across the face and sent him flying away. Before he could open his teary eyes to see, I was already in front of him. ¡°I beg of you my hero, here!¡± He made a few hand signs and touched my hand. ¡°I gave you the rights to her! Please! Just spare my life!¡± In my rage I just packed him by his throat and crushed it. The fat noble spit out blood and died on the spot. From inside of his pocket a single thin notice book of some kind fell out and was picked up by me. ¡°I declare that from today on slavery will be abolished! We are not savages! Slavery is amoral! All will be punished that do not follow that law!¡± The nobles were visibly outraged but did not dare to object as they whispered between each other. The king also visibly paled. ¡°Wha--¡± However the pope spoke up. ¡°The hero has spoken! Our prophet has declared that slavery from today onward shall be a sin and anyone that practices it shall be punished! The church will personally release all its slaves and watch so others follow that rule!¡± Now the king paled even further as he stood up and just walked away. I walked to Anna. ¡°I am no longer in the mood for a celebration...¡± She nodded in understanding. ¡°Yes my love, you did well to rid the world of this monster, let us go somewhere more private..¡± She whispered to me and we ran away together hand in hand. I thought we would go to my room or just somewhere we could be alone, but Anna straight up led me to her private chambers. Inside I quickly forgot my rage and just stared at her girly room, with flushed cheeks and my mind in turmoil. After all this was the first time that I was inside a girls room... Anna just smiled at me and went onto her king sized bed. She lay there and her belly and with her feet in the air just looked at me with anticipation. In the heat of the moment I slowly started to undress myself and came forward to join her. While untying my tie, I heard a knocking sound from behind. ¡°Come in.¡± The princess said. From behind the slave from before entered the room and had a mischievous grin on her face. She closed the door behind her and started to slowly undress herself as she came to me. ¡°My hero..¡± She dropped her dress to the floor and had nothing beneath it. ¡°I am soo thankful to you for saving me... This horrible man has been using my body in ways that fit him for years. I have been raped countless times by him.. ¡°She hugged me and whispered. ¡°Let me thank you by having lots of sex with you...¡± I put my hands on her behind and grabbed that wonderful flesh. ¡°Well, can''t argue with that logic!¡± I smiled widely. ¡°But is this okay with you Anna?¡± The princess gave me a nod. ¡°As long as I know that your love belongs to me, you can have as many concubines as you want. After all this is how it always has been for great man, a single woman may never satisfy them...¡± I was already in the middle of kissing that woman''s neck when I said. ¡°There is also... Katarina... can she join us?¡± ¡°Yes, I will send for her tomorrow. But remember that your virginity is mine so only anal for the next month!¡± I stuck my tongue inside that woman''s throat and thought that my life will get only better from her on. The summoning 6 Part 6 Next morning I laid in my bed with 2 beautiful women and felt bored. Having nothing better to do I remembered that I had picked up a note book from the noble yesterday and started to casually read it. ¡­............................... 15th December 1004. Today was the death of my father. He was a cruel man and has only ever cared about his wealth but now I at least have enough funds to do the right thing. My mother may have been a slave but he did not have any other children and as such I became an heir to him. A title and most of his wealth and property. ¡­. 22th May 1005. The first hospital has been opened for the general public thanks to me. I do not care about the peasants, don''t get me wrong, but it was one of the few things that my now dead mother would have cared about. She was a gentle woman, the only woman ever to show me kindness. I think her last wish deserves to come to reality. ¡­. 5th July 1007. My new line of business has been blooming lately. I became the biggest importer of raw materials from other kingdoms, something that not many have thought about weirdly enough. The whole economic has flipped and materials that have been a rarity are now common, fruits and vegetables that no one ever heard before and are much easier to grow are now planted everywhere. My funds are getting bigger and bigger and I slowly start to make a name for myself. 15th July 1007. I was invited by the king today. He wanted to know the man that made his pockets heavier. What an arrogant man, he offered me a few meaningless titles and benefits to ensure my loyalty and I accepted them because.. why not? That day I also saw the princess for the first time in my life... I could not think anymore without picturing her. I may have fallen in love. ¡­.. 23th December 1009. My name is the most widely known name in our and others kingdoms. My influence is only below the king himself and the faith. They started to wage war against demons, one of my business partners. I was accused of being a traitor and had to break all trade deals with them. What one not does to ensure his survival. ¡­... 17th August 1011. I adopted, found other and better trade partners, expanded my company as far as it was possible, nobody can any longer deny my genius. The king has also found that he needs me by all costs and has offered me the hand of his daughter. Oh how happy I was... ¡­.. 27 February 1012. It hurts... No matter how many presents I send her, she rejects all of them. No matter how many letters with my soul poured into them I sent her, she never even answered them. The few times we saw each other she has ever only looked with subtle disgust at me. I knew I was ugly and my kind of profession made me sit for days in one position, making me fat, but I always thought that maybe a woman will ever see beyond that... How wrong I was. ¡­.. 13 July 1012. The day of the summoning. Today also, the princess has rejected me. In only one year the marriage is supposed to be, Anna manages to always delay it with excuses but her father sees my impatience and now made a date when it will undoubtedly happen. I won''t force her but I just hope that maybe, just maybe after years she will see beyond my appearance and will accept me. That day I sent one of my slaves to her. Her only job was to be friendly with the princess and to make myself look better with a few subtle comments. I never touched her, I never laid with a woman at all. Their looks hurt me too much and the professionals were... It was embarrassing to loose your virginity with a whore. It was just... I still had hope... 27th August 1012. I heard a lot of the hero''s deeds, it was remarkable. I did not think much of this ¡°holy war¡± but I made a lot of money from it so I am not one to complain. The slave that I sent to watch the princess has not been very open to me recently, she was very close with Anna however, so I did not mind. 12th September 1012. I am on my way to the celebration in honor of the hero. I finally get to see her again, that rose that is so pretty to look at but gives me so much pain when I try to touch her... My slave has not notified me in the last few weeks at all. It was a mistake to not give her a direct command and let her have freedom. I will change that if I find her. --------------------------------- I closed the diary after the last entry and had to think about quite a few things now. Somehow I had some sympathy with that man, after all I knew the feelings he described... Even I had to admit that this was without a doubt evidence that the princess more or less used me. Yesterdays events made more sense now, how that woman ran inside, so that I would be mad and finish that man... The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Feeling betrayed I woke her up and straight up asked about it. Without shame she looked me in the eyes. ¡°Yes my love, I did not want to marry that disgusting man and I am not ashamed to admit that. Is it wrong that I used my mind to get to my true love?¡± She gave me a french kiss. ¡°Yes, he did send me things... Emeralds and diamonds... Every time I received them I looked at them with disgust and could feel the fat of his fingers on them as he held them. His letters with false words that only made me think about how that filth must have had touched himself at night while thinking of my pure body...¡± She traced a finger on my six pack and bit her lip. ¡°After all how can he possibly compare to you? This perfection... We were made for each other, I am not ashamed to admit that, don''t you agree with me, my love?¡± She took my head and laid it on her naked chest, so that I could hear her fast beating heart. ¡°After all I was a young maiden in distress and it took a lot of me to make those plans. You can not even imagine how afraid I was of that man, please do not judge me...¡± She started to cry. I hugged her. ¡°No no, how could I be mad at you, it is my fault for doubting you my love.¡± She laughed quietly. ¡°I have my whole life waited for my prince on a white horse riding to me and taking me.. How happy I am that this wish came true...¡± She overran my body with wet kisses, enjoying every perfect centimeter of it. Then she looked in my eyes and told me. ¡° It is you that should be the king.¡± I was surprised. ¡°But what about your father?¡± She grunted. ¡°This horrible and arrogant man only thinks about himself and almost gave me to that filth, no he is no true king. You would fit much more, my love.. The people love you, the faith is behind your back and the military treats you like a family member. There is nothing you should fear.. I don''t tell you to kill him but I introduce this idea to you. If ever you will see him how I see him, as incompetent and unfit for this position, you know what to do... ¡± I let that sink in for a while. Yes, I think I would make a great king. ------------------------------------ The next month flew by quickly. It was just heavenly. I had enough sex to cover my 15 years without it, so many partners that pornstars would be jealous. By definition I was still a ¡°virgin¡± *wink wink *, but we all know that is bull shit. Once in a while I went out to train with the soldiers but it quickly got boring. The general also rode back on the front lines and invited me, saying that I could marry whenever I wanted but the enemy would not wait for me. I just shrugged off and told him that my princess had priority. So yeah, already I was being married. It was held in the cathedral that also stood right in the capital. A party so big that it started a week before, with everyone getting wasted nonstop and also continuing a few weeks afterwards. Many have been congratulating us and telling how lucky the royal family was to get a hero in their family which of course meant that I was bound to them for the rest of my life. That night I officially lost my virginity, seven time * cough cough *. ¡­..................................... The next few years were pure heaven for me. The war was still going on but I decided to leave it to the general. I mean, if they really need me, I would probably go there but unfortunately I have better things to do. Sometimes I see the king and how furious he is that some nobles no longer support him and are planning to leave for other kingdoms. I asked Anna and she told me it was about them no longer making the kings pockets heavier, what a disgusting man.... ¡­...................................... It has been another year of my peaceful new life. A few times I was asked to fight the demons but I kindly declined, this is until when I got the news of a giant demon army striking back. The general and his troops had to long retreat from by me liberated lands and the demons now even invaded our kingdom. In short, I had to step in. I stood before the king in his halls as he commanded me to ride out. ¡°I command you to ride out!¡± He told me. ¡°You will go there and return to me victorious!¡± He commanded with a tone that would not tolerate a fail. Trying hard not to look at him as if he was a piece of shit, I stood up from my official position of kneeing before him and walked off to prepare. In my private chambers I met with the princess and we had a small argument about me endangering myself but I told her that I had to and that I also would not not be in danger since I was the hero. Just like that I rode towards the portal again and when I came out was greeted by the giant army that would shortly clash with the demons. AN: One more chapter. The summoning 7 Part 7 The large army of the Kaldimar kingdom for the most part consisted of many hurt men with hopeless eyes when I came out. The demons must have had dealt quite a blow to them. Of course it was not only the infantry, there was also a large chunk of those fighting against demons that had priests or paladin like jobs and of course those looked much better than the common soldier. When I was noticed their mood became better in a matter of seconds. Men that had their feet amputated and were screaming from pain now looked relieved and hopeful. I was wondering why in a world of magic there was a need to amputate body parts, but just left it be as there must be a reason for that. A high ranked officer joined me together with a group of 10 more riders and we moved towards where the fun was. It took only a few days and we arrived to where the demons pushed us back. On my way there I heard of our losses. Seventy thousand dead or taken people, I can only assume the demons like to take slaves.. disgusting. I was greeted by the general very soon. ¡°Sir Kotatsu! I am soo glad to finally see you joining us on the battlefield! You cannot imagine how hard it was without you...¡± I patted his shoulder. ¡°I was sure you would be fine without me, well even the greatest of us can be wrong once in their life time..¡± I sighted loudly. ¡°Do not worry, nothing is lost, we still can turn it all around!¡± I turned around and now spoke loudly to everyone that could hear me. ¡° I, THE HERO WILL MAKE THE DEMONS PAY FOR ALL OF OUR LOSSES!¡± Loud cheering as always was what I got. Soon the demons started to march against us and we did the same. Their positions were weird however, there were about 100 people in the very front who on their feet slowly walked forwards and the main demon army was further back. I just thought that those people were nice warm ups for me and ran straight at them. ¡°The hero!¡± A soldier behind me shouted. ¡°So heroic! Storming the enemy alone to concentrate all the damage on himself!¡± I just ran with high speeds towards the enemy and saw how they all looked with cold gazes at me, not fazed by my appearance at all. They must not have heard of the new hero, I though. Jumping high, I flew right in the middle of them. Quickly they build a circle around me, all standing at least 10 meters away from me. With a big smirk I told them. ¡°My name is Kotatsu and if I were you, you demon filth, I would be running back right now or it will not have a pretty end.¡± They all stepped back and I smirked even more. Waiting for anyone to attack me, I stood there and just observed. Not even a few seconds later I noticed a demon that looked different than any other. He was... similar to me, an extravagant armor, the body of a sexgod and with a cold look on his face. I snorted. ¡°Hphh, If you won''t come to me, so be it!¡± I started to chant my ¡°Banish Evil¡±. The demons just listened to my chants and did nothing against it. When the song was over, a giant sphere of light shout out from me and expanded, engulfing all of them in it. To my surprise none of them died. Or were even pushed away. I started to panic but then saw how all of them started to visibly pale and all fell to their knees. Even the demon lord looking guy fell to one knee. He looked in disbelieve at me as I had a wide grin and watched his power leaving him. ¡°Ohh no!¡± He looked like he had trouble breathing as his hand tried to hold the place on his chest where his heart should be. ¡°NO! H-how c- can this be? T-this power! I-it it..¡± he fell to the ground and started his whole body started to shake visibly. I walked slowly forward. Well, this was easier than I though.. ¡° IT TICKLES! ha ha HA HAAHHA! WHAT A JOKE!¡± He started to laugh hysterically while holding his belly and crying from both eyes. IT looked so ridiculous seeing a giant of a man in complete black armor behaving like a manchild and also sent shivers down my spine. Around me the others joined him. A lone demon said out loud when the laughing became quieter. ¡°Dude, it really burned a little...¡± The demon king laughed at him. ¡°From that? What are you, a little faggot?¡± Another demon spoke up offended. ¡°Hey! We talked about it! IF you will say homophobic shit like that all the time then everyone will think it is okay to bash them! This is not okay! You have a responsibility to represent---¡± The demon lord rolled his eyes. ¡°Yes, I get it!¡± ¡°No YOU DON''T! Or you would not have said that!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, of course. Stephen you are right as always. Can we now... please...¡± He mentioned to the dumbfounded me and implied that it could wait for later. ¡°And now about you... ¡° He gave me a cold and disappointed look. ¡°You get all this power and what do you do? Fuck around all day? Jeez... I thought it might get interesting, I thought you would be fun, I mean it was a shame that the country of brain dead racists got you but even then we could have had fun fighting against each other, but you my friend, are a legendary disappointment... Buuuhhhh!¡± He started to chant as the others joined him and they all gave me a thumbs down. I became outraged, it has been a long time since anyone has called me that and I was a different man now! I will not let this go over me! ¡°Yeah?! Well...Your mama is a disappointment!¡± I showed him the middle finger. The demons looked at each other and started to laugh even harder. The demon lord then calmed down. ¡°You call that a joke? Even in this world your mama jokes are out... Guys! Tell that poor lost soul a real joke!¡± Stephen from before started. ¡°Knock knock!¡± Another random demon answered. ¡°Who is there?¡± ¡°The hero!¡± ¡°The hero who?¡± ¡°The hero who is about to loose his anal virginity!¡± The moment the last words were said I got a bunch of hungry and lustful looks from the demons around me. I could not help myself but cringe as my whole body shuddered. ''Oh no... everything but that that..'' I thought in horror and started to clench my butt hole as tight as possible. As a few demons started to slowly approach me, I jumped out of the circle in horror and used my new found skill ¡°tactical retreat¡±. I was so horrified that I could not even hear the loud and roaring laughter behind me. When I returned to my men, I stood before them and realized that I could not look weak right now. ¡° MEN! Did you see that! I walked right into them and returned unscratched! Those demons are a joke! We are gonna win this!¡± Loud roaring ran through the ranks and the battle started. ¡­........................................................ We lost. Battle after battle we lost. We lost cities that were taken by demons and the humans inside were probably all slaughtered and raped. Our army also got smaller by the day. In every battle I tried to fight against the elite of the demons but always they would just surround me with a few people and we would exchange hits as they looked amused at me. It became a running gag between us as they told me unfunny jokes. Once a demon actually made me laugh. ¡°Hey hero boy! Did you know that light travels faster than sound? This is why sometimes people appear to be bright until you actually hear them talk!¡± Somehow that just cracked me up in the middle of the battle and I started to laugh, to only calm myself down forcefully and having to retreat. The others congratulated him for that. That demon got something like a promotion as was now in high regards and whenever he talks to me, the others watch us with anticipation... When I managed to damage some of them, they would always run back and shout with amusement that I managed to hit them and just get healed in a matter of seconds by their team mates or maybe even themselves.. So unfair... It was now desperate for us that the demons were in front of the capital as we had to defend our last lines. ¡°I''ve had enough of that!¡± I shouted as I was in the middle of another battle and saw our situation. I stood and fought a few demons as usual and looked at the demon lord who had a bored expression. ''When I kill him it will all be over!'' I thought. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. Jumping up and above the now even more amused demons, I flew with a loud roar straight at the demon lord. My sword thundered down with all the might I had and was aimed straight at his head. It was now only a few centimeters above his helmet as he just looked at the blade with his eyes betraying a hint of excitement. The blade... it just slid of his helmet and left a tiny scratch on it. He looked very displeased to say the least and frowned. ¡°Well, now it only is annoying...¡± The demon lord said out loud and rolled his eyes. ¡°Guys! I''ve had enough! The fun is over!¡± Before I knew what that meant, seven different demons came and surrounded me in a matter of seconds. I had no time to react and had the feeling that like always for me, the demons saw me in slow motion. In nine different parts of my body, I was impaled with razor sharp blades and looked in horror at the demons that managed to surpass my defenses so effortlessly. I was so consumed by my shock that I did not notice them sulking over that and feeling disapoited. Feeling the hellish pain I could only scream and cry. My body started to move on its own as I desperately tried to free myself and tried to jump in the air as they retreated their blades. With all my power in my feet, I ran as fast as it was humanly possible for me to get into safety. I arrived inside the capital again and started to immediately heal myself, disregarding all the other hurt soldiers around me that watched me with awe but also some confusion. Feeling rage inside of me I saw as the king stood there and commanded his forces and talking with an officer and the pope about the battle plan, looking desperately for a chance to turn this war around. ¡°YOU!¡± I screamed at him. ¡°It was all because of you!¡± I stormed at him feeling all the rage pouring out of me and finally getting a target. A target that I could easily use to get all this anger out of me. He was confused. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°It is all your fault! You, you.. incompetent and greedy old fuck!¡± I thought about that it was him that brought me into this world to fight the evil and it was him that used me for his own benefits, yes, like the princess said, he was only using me to get more money in his pockets, this degenerate. Packing him by his throat in my furry I started to choke him with the rest of the army watching me in shock and confusion but not daring to say or even do anything. ¡°N- no wha--¡± He looked at me with horror that was quickly replaced by void as his neck was snapped and he lost his life. The people around me did not know what to do, I just shouted at them to get back to work and that I was now the king. The soldiers nodded hesitantly and the people of faith smiled at me, telling me that my actions must be true and the king must have been a heretic, that as long as the demons would perish god would forgive me and reward my actions. I just nodded and stormed towards the castle where the love of my life was. Behind me I heard how the gates broke down and the city was stormed by demons. Arriving there I found my princess in the throne room. I ran up to her and kissed her passionately. ¡°I have done it. The king is dead.¡± She looked very happy as she also kissed me back and shrieked from happiness. ¡°Yes! You did good, finally we can be the king and the queen!¡± I nodded. ¡°Yes, but right now we have to flee, the demons will be here shortly and we have to run.¡± She looked confused. ¡°But you are the hero! How can that be? Also I am the queen now, no way I will leave that behind!¡± I tried to pull her in my frantic state. ¡°No, he will be here! He is too powerful! I will need to level up a lot, yes this is what I will do now and then soon I will avenge my shameful moment and take this kingdom back! But now we have to run, yes running is what we need to do now.¡± Behind me I heard that the door was broken up and on horror I saw the demon lord walking towards me with a wide grin on his face and some blood under his feet. Anna saw him and started to throw a tantrum in her rage. ¡°NO! You go away! You are ruining everything! I was finally the queen arghh!¡± She was stomping her feet on the ground and got red from rage. The demon whistled as he admired Anna. ¡°Uhhh... sexy lady, nice nice... We will talk later on. ¡°He snapped his finger and she fell down on the floor. My mind was racing and thinking of what I needed to do now. The result: run! I tried to jump out of a window that was to my left, but before I could even move he had me already in his grip. He suddenly smirked at me. ¡°I''ve got another one for you.¡± he coughed. ¡°Get this... How many heroes does it take to change a light bulb?¡± My eyes widened because of the implication of his joke. His smirk got wider. ¡°Silly, a tool can not change anything!¡± He threw me across the room. ¡°You know, I wanted to kill you, give that little story of your pitiful life that dark and edgy ending, but then I was told that it was not original enough... ¡°He sighted and took a deep breath. ¡°This is why you will live! Good news, no?¡± I stopped shaking and had a slight smile on my face. ¡°Bad news, you will become my little bitch.¡± He came to me and started to caress my face, giving me a kiss on my cheek. ¡°Don''t worry, I won''t mistreat you...¡± He said as he started to pet my head. ¡°How about it? We give you a slave seal and give you lots of... rewards depending on your behavior!¡± I started to cry uncontrollably and beg him to let me go or that I would serve him or just about anything to ensure my live and my ass would be fine and untouched. ¡°Ohh, do not cry darling... This is just the beginning, what fun is it if you break from the beginning... have you ever watched game of thrones? From what time do you come by the way.. no this is irrelevant, so have you seen it?¡± I nodded in between my sobs. ¡°Are you familiar with the character of Theon greyjoy?¡± He asked me with a grin and as he saw me getting even more desperate, he continued. ¡°Well, there are a lot of people salty over you killing so many of my brethren so we will have to... train you.¡± I started to cry even harder now and tried my hardest to get away from this psycho. He saw my reaction and just roared with laughter. ¡°Lol, I am just fucking with you.¡± he hit my back in a friendly gesture and put me back on my feet. ¡°Come on you brainwashed monkey, we are not soo bad... How about it, we will travel to the demon kingdom and I will show you what lies you were told the whole time. I mean here we will still have to kill all the religious extremists, in the end they are literally Nazis to us being Jews, you understand? But the other common people that have reason in them will be fine... ¡°He shrugged of. ¡°No need to piss yourself. ¡°He looked down onto the wet spot under me. ¡°Well, this is awkward...¡± He scratched his head. ¡°Anyway, you are a fun guy, I am sure with a lot of unused potential that is just waiting to be in proper use.. Those fanatics have summoned you to fight evil and pointed the finger at us, while ignoring all the other wrongdoings that are present in this world. We will put you into the right direction.. No wait, then we would be no better than them hmm... How about we will just show it to you and you decide, ay mate? ¡°He hit me in the shoulder softly.¡±Come, I will introduce the guys, they also have taken quite the liking to you. Even Stephen has told me how fun you are... you Don''t even know how surprised I was hearing it from him of all people, you can imagine from the few times seeing him that he is a quite guy, but you do not even know mate...¡± Like that I stood up and we walked away, still shocked and dumbfounded while the demon lord talked with me about his hobbies and fun places around his kingdom. -the end- There you have it, my first complete short story. Was it a fun ride or was it a waste of time? Have I told an original tale or have I been victim to the same cliches that I made fun of? Either way, I can only hope that you will bear with me. The next short story will be quite different, that I can promise. A much more likable character with an actual story since immersion is very important in the next story type and it is less of an empowerment fantasy/porn than this here. Next week on The fantasy tropes Encyclopedia....: Reincarnation.
