Chapter 3 - SUMMONING

Yuki sighed as he looked at his teacher.

It's always the same old routine for him. Wake up, shower, eat, go to school, go home, sleep, repeat.

Not to mention that he also doesn't have any friends, not because he's lonely mind you, it's because he's a loner and usually content with being alone.

"A-alright class! Today we're going to learn about..." The female cute and naive teacher said as she kept trying to teach the class.

Apparently they're going to learn about math or something, he doesn't really care since he kinda already has an online job back home so it's fine for him to ignore it. He got decent grades anyway, not bad but not good either, just enough to pass so he's fully content with this.

He looks at the teacher in the front of the class. She looks young, it's like she's 19 years old, or maybe she is one and she wants to become a teacher so much that she skips college and immediately applies for a teacher job in this school.

But nonetheless, he's pretty tired right now so he rests his head on the table and closes his eyes before suddenly...

"Uwaahhh, what's happening!?" The teacher's voice shook him as he opened his eyes and looked up and saw the floor of the class begin glowing in a light blue light.

'Oh no, is this... An isekaid plot!?' Yuki thought in alarm as he goes to the door and tried to slide it open only to see it's stuck in place.

'No! Tch, then maybe...' He looks up at the tiles on the ceiling and immediately jumps on his table.

'No vents... Then brute force it is.' He turned his hand into a fist and swung his hand with all his might to the ceiling.

THUNK

Yuki slowly brings his hand down and looks down on it, holding it. "...Ow."

The blue light glows brighter behind him and he looks behind him with a look of resignation.

"Whatever..."

The light engulfed the whole class, swallowing everyone in it.

-----

The gods noticed that multiple otherworlder are being summoned so they decided to give these mortals choices on what power they want, though there's a limited choice of these powers of course and these guys are limited to only two or three powers so first come first served. So when the powers ran out and there was only one student left, they were suddenly in a bit of a pickle until one of god suggested something.

"Hey, how about we all bless him or something?"

So they did just that, blessing him and giving him more than 10 abilities and they sent him on to the world.

Until suddenly The Goddess of Death appeared in front of them.

"You... You're doing things without inviting me again!!"

And so arguing ensues until they all decide on a compromise. The Goddess of Death can pluck anyone from the world those summoned guys are from if only the person is from the same class as them.

The Goddess of Death sighed. "And I was just finished talking to that bundle of red threads too, can't you all not..." She trailed off as she saw someone get inside the classroom, a student, a student who's late at arriving to class.

"Perfect."

-----

Shion breathed heavily as he ran to the class. Being almost 30 minutes late, he has to run at full speed.

"Huff.. hah... Why must the class be at the top floor!?" He said in exasperation as he tiredly walked upwards the stairs and finally reached the same floor.

"Okay... If I remember correctly..." He made a few turns and found the classroom.

Without wasting any time, he slid the door open.

"Sorry I'm late!" He yelled out before suddenly freezing as he looked at what's in front of him.

He's outside, in a mediaeval city's street, and there's multiple people here too, some have animal ears, some just have normal human looks and others straight up have animal heads, like that reptilian people in fiction.

And they're all staring at him because he yelled out something before immediately going on with their day.

It's unimportant, he's probably just late to something after all, why else would he yell that out anyway?

"Eh?... Have I... Been transported to another world?" Shion say quietly as he inspects his clothes and belongings.

He still has his school uniform and his backpack, he patted his pocket and felt his phone and sigh in relief.

"Okay, at least I have a source of entertainment..." He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath and shouted out loud.

"New World, here I come!"

-----

"... you're kinda evil, you know that?" The God of Life said to The Goddess of Death.

"Shut up, I'm not like all of you. Giving blessings like that without any drawbacks, the guy you all chose didn't even work hard for it and got everything handed to him. If he, the guy blessed by me, came back sane after using it, then he has all the right to use it."

"Ah wait, you didn't-"

The Goddess of Death slammed the door behind her, leaving the group of gods there.

"...You haven't given him the leveling system yet..." The Goddess of Nature sighed as she looked at The God of Life.

"So, should we give him the system?"

"No, she'll get mad, so that human just have to deal with it." The God of Life let out an exasperated sigh.

"What a pain."

-----

When the light died down, the class and their teacher found themselves in the summoning room of The Kingdom of Everest.

"Welcome, heroes, to our kingdom!" The king said as he explained what the situation is.

A new demon king-

"It's The Demon Lord, my king."

"What?"

"Apparently he decided that being called a Lord than a King is more fitting to differentiate between humans and demons."

"I see, then..."

A new Demon Lord has risen to this world right after the previous one has fallen and the current hero has been sealed away so they have decided to summon a new set of heroes in order to save the kingdom.

Due to the unique situation, the heroes is limited to 2 to 3 abilities or maybe even 1 but nonetheless these heroes will surely be able to defeat The Demon Lord due to their high potential.

"If you look at your stats, my dear heroes, then you can see what abilities you have as well as multiple info about your own self."

Multiple students and even the teacher said stats out loud and a window appears right in front of them that's currently listing all about their abilities and stats.

One particular student, Haruki, looks at his stats.

[Name: Haruki

Level: 1

HP: 10/10

MP: 1/1

Race: Human

Stats:

Strength: 5

Agility: 3

Intelligence: 8

Endurance: 4

Luck: 2

Abilities:

Transmutation LV1]

Haruki sighs at his only one ability and looks at his fellow classmates.

'Why must they pick too fast and too many? I was panicking and picked transmutation because of how fast other abilities are disappearing and as I was about to pick another one, and now I'm stuck with only one ability and I have no idea what transmutation even is...'

Haruki looks at his friend beside him, who for some reason decided that he wanted to be called Al in this world and convinced all of them for it.

"So Al, what skills did you pick?" It's easier to say skills than abilities every time.

Al scratches his head and shrugs, looking at Haruki confused.

"Uhh, being human skill, I guess?" Al said while showing a confused face, it's like he isn't even aware that you can pick your own skills before going here.

Haruki shrugged, maybe Al wanted to hide his abilities? In any case, it's not his business to pry his secrets.

Al turned to his other friend, Kurou, and tapped his shoulder. "Hey Kurou, since we're in another world, could you give me that recipe now that you promised to give later? Because I don't think we'll be seeing each other frequently after this."

"Oh yeah, sorry man. Let me take the paper out of my inventory first and draw it for you." A pencil and paper appeared on Kurou's hand and he began to draw the recipe before stopping.

"Hmm... I don't remember what that one ingredient is... Oh well, Al, I'll give you a cookbook instead with recipes and stuff, is that good for you?"

"As long as that indian flatbread recipe is there then sure."

"Alright, let me buy it real quick." A cookbook appeared in Kurou's hand and he gave it to Al and Al looked at him confused.

"I'm pretty sure you didn't bring this to school..."

"Oh, this is one of my abilities. I can buy stuff online in a window that's only visible to me."

Haruki watches the interaction with interest. 'Inventory Skill and Online Shopping Skill? I saw both of them when I was in the process of picking an ability... Two support abilities... Well I guess that's fine, not all of us are going to The Demon Lord anyway.'

Haruki walked away to a nearby window and looked at the mediaeval fantasy looking city.

'But still... I don't want to be useless, I have no idea what my ability can do but even then, I will try my best to defeat that Demon Lord, or at least, help my classmates defeat him.'
