Prologue
One Day, I was unexpectedly Summoned to another world by the Hero Summoning Ritual.
The day had just begun, I had just finished taking my bath, and was putting on my Ace cosplay, Why? you asked why I was putting on a cosplay? well that is because I am an otaku who loves his Anime and Manga.. And the reason I was wearing a Portgas. D .Ace cosplay {By the way he is my favorite manga character} Well that is because today is the annual otaku convection. Just as I was ready to leave, that was when it happened.
An incandescent white light suddenly spilled out of my feet. It was so blindingly bright that my eyes shut tight on instinct.
When I opened them again, I was no longer in my room but a vast room that looks like and Isekai / fairytale throne room.
"It Worked"
"Ooooooh"
"Hmmmm"
"Hmm?"
"But why?"
A crowd of people burst into cheers while some where murmuring. I had no idea what to make of them and tried instead to understand my surrounding.
In front of me stood different types of people: some dressed in surcoats who looked like knights, there were others who were long robes that brushed their ankles and also others who didn't look human their appearance is best described as being half human half animal. While the most notable one was a mysterious silhouette that sat on a throne a little bit farther from the rest. He hot is strange Viking like helmet covering his head and face I'm the intense pressure coming from his presence alone was not something normal, I don't know how I could feel or sense it but I just knew that he was a very very important person and one that I shouldn't mess with.
Some of the knights where in a uproar; they clapped one another on the back with a celebratory air, While some had disappointed and confused faces. Meanwhile, the people in robes remained seated on the ground, though they all had confused and disappointed faces on them as if they didn't know what was going on and disliked it.
I turned my attention to the floor, It was as black as the stoned walls, but when I looked closely, I noticed that someone had drawn strange white lines directly beneath where I sat. The lines connected to each other in a way that reminded me of Magic circles from the fantasy/Isekai anime I used to watch.
To my left was one of those massive stone walls. To my right however, was a guy. He was the only other person in the room dressed like me. Well, I wore a full Ace cosplay with the hat and everything while he was wearing a complete cooperate suit and he looked like what an anime fan girl would call or describe as the perfect Husbando. Nevertheless, we definitely looked like we came from the same modern era.
Everyone else, though...with all that armor and weird robes and the different looking people, I just knew and thought to myself, have i been summoned into an Isekai?... though with a mild grin on my face and mixed internal feelings.
The guy beside me looked like he was in his early 20s or late teens, and he had a prideful, disgusted look {the same kind of look that characters like Levi Ackerman from Attack on titan always had on his face}, "wait why am I thinking about anime right know, I'm in a huge mess and I don't even know what's going on." Sōzō thought with a semi-scared/shocked look on his face. I suspected that He and I had been brought here without warning in much the same way.
Honestly? A part of me wanted to start screaming my head off. I desperately kept a grip on my alarm while I tried to comprehend our situation, But there was a tiny part of me that just wanted to jump up and start screaming with joy and happiness because I had the feeling this was one of those Isekai and I had been summoned to be it's hero.
Just as I was beginning to process what had happened to us, that was when one of the men spoke, he looked like he was one of the important one's, He had a weird face with red hair and ears that looked like the one's elves where depicted to have in Isekai... well maybe he is an elf, he was one of the people in robes too. He said "why are there two of them?". And another one replied "this is new huh".....then the others started murmuring.
Then someone else asked "what do we do now, How do we know the original from the imposter"...And then another one said "maybe both are the real deal".... After that the room went silent....and immediately everyone started laughing...."You know that's impossible" one of them said. There can only be one, that is a simple thing that everyone knows.... Another one said while laughing.
It was then that the guy/silhouette on the throne spoke
"Since there are two of them we shall test to see which of them is the one"
Just as He finished speaking the guy beside me stood up and asked "What is going on here?"....Then one of the men in robes replied to him saying "You both have been Summoned here for the right to earn an important task, A task which any order knight or warrior would easily spill blood for, but it was supposed to be just one person and since there are two of you, we might need to go through different measures to select which one of you is the one...The true Hero."
"Fine I'd like to see this test, maybe it will be challenging, after all i already got bored of playing with small fish back at home." he said with a bold and proud look.
I didn't know what to do at this point, but then the guy on the throne said "Take them both to separate rooms and tell them how things work here, Also tell them about their gifts and how to control it's flow. You have thirty minutes after that take them to the Arena for the first test, Because they are going to have to fight for the right to be called the hero and also gain everything the hero is entitled to including the Important task. And also summon the Takanashi Brothers for they will be their individual opponents".
P.S. I'd love to hear your opinions on my novel.
