Chapter 1: chapter 1
"Hey, what do you think of this book?" Naofumi asked his brother who was beside him, but he might as well not have bothered since he was too busy playing on his cellphone.
Sighing Naofumi looked at his younger brother with exasperation. Naofumi himself was an otaku, true, but he has nothing on his brother. His brother was a complete otaku who loved to play RPGs, fighting games, and read fanfictions, and the most irritating thing was that he was actually good at it too. He led a guild in his latest game and was on the top 10 of the game Legends Alive, it was actually quite interesting that he did so as he apparently received the secret class Shield Hero in that game and was still the strongest gamer there.
Naofumi never really understood much about it, but his brother likes it so there is little that can be done.
His brother also was a bit of a delinquent as he entered in more meaningless fights during their childhood that Naofumi can count and it always confused others how someone like Naofumi, who never shows anger towards anyone, could be brothers with someone who is has such a short temper.
"What, did you say something bro?" the brother asked, his tone even and calm, proving he was on an excelent mood.
"Yeah, I was telling you about what is written on this book here Kaito. Can't you leave your game for five minutes and pay attention to something other than that game of yours?" Naofumi asked his brother Kaito.
"... Fine, what is the title?" Kaito asked as he pocketed the smartphone he was using to play and went to the side of Naofumi to take a look. "The records of the four legendary weapons, huh? Never heard of that one before." Kaito said.
"Me neither, I just picked it up because it fell on my head when I was looking for a different book, something you would have noticed if you paid attention." Naofumi commented.
"Yeah, no thanks." Kaito said. "I was on the last stages of a story mission that takes 4 hours to beat, no way would I lost focus at that moment, but as I won now I can pay attention to you again."
Shrugging his shoulders Naofumi opened the book.
"Let's see. 'The waves of Apocalyptic Catastrophe, to save the world from them, four heroes will be summoned from another world. Each of the Four heroes wield a characteristic weapon: a Spear, a Bow,a Sword, and a Shield.' Hey, I am pretty sure that a shield is more of an armor than a weapon." Naofumi said but shut up when he saw his brother's glare.
"Don't go insulting shields, they are the strongest weapon when used correctly! I used one during my playthrough in Legends Online and it was awesome how stupidly broken I got on the later stages of the game. A shielder has a bad start, that is it." Kaito said with an irritated glare at his brother. It was almst PTSD at this point as he simply loved the tank playstyle but he had to hear and deall with so much shit because of idiots who thought that everyone should focus exclusively in DPS that he just wanted to strangle someone most of the time someone spoke shit about it.
"Fine, fine, sheesh. Talk about oversensitive." Naofumi said. "Anyway, let's continue." Naofumi then continued talking about what was on the book.
The two laughed at the heroes antics, find interesting the tales of all four of them, talked about how the country of this book was, as Kaito elegantly described, a pile of hot mess that was best left in ruins.
"Come on man, turn to the next page. I want to see if the bitch princess gets killed Game of Thrones way or not." Kaito said animatedly.
"Fine, fine, let's see." Naofumi says but the next page was blanc. Before he could react the following pages were also all in white and were turning by themselves and a shine appeared on the book, pulling both Naofumi and Kaito in.

"Huh, now this is interesting." Zelretch said as he traveled through the space between dimensions. People usually think it is all quite automatic when it comes to him using the Kaleidoscope magic to jump through dimensions but it was anything but. It actually involved him leaving one dimension and traveling to another without use of teleportation. The 'distance' between dimensions being the key factor over how quickly he could move really.
Right now Zelretch is on his way to giving his class to Rin and Luvia about the Kaleidoscope magic, a fruitless effort since he knows neither will succeed but it still helps to distract himself of the utter boredom that is his life.
When you reach the level where you can bitchslap the moon without even thinking about it you don't have much on the way of challenges. He was sort of like Saitama in One Punch Man, just that he doesn't look for meaning in being an hero but instead he looks for meaning in looking at new stories. And, what he is seeing right now seems like something he can use to start a new tale.
A young man, no more than 19 if his eyes are not mistaken, has just been left behind as what seems like his older brother has been pulled towards another world.
'A failed summoning, perhaps?' Zelretch wonders as he approaches the floating boy. There is still some of the summoning energy but as Zelretch analyzes it he sees the problem.
There is no proper anchor, an item to help firm him to the world that pulled him as his own essence is still drawn to his previous world. If left as it is he will remain in this limbo until he either dies or all the summoning energy vanishes and that could last a very long time.
"Consider yourself lucky, young man. I can see that you lived in a world of technology and no magic but I hope this helps making that new world you will be entering interesting." Zelretch said as he pulled out seven cards and put them in the pocket of the man's jacket. However, as he did so he felt his cellphone and decided to take a look.
What he saw surprised him.
"Wait a second, so YOU are the legendary Pussysmasher57Ex2? Boy, it is an honor meeting someone like you! I play Heroic Legend too and I have seen you play, you are amazing. Yep, I will give you a freeby just because you are an awesome gamer." Zelretch said before pulling out two more cards and putting them on his pocket. He then thought for a while and realized how it could be hard to understand how to use the gift he gave him as well as the fact that, if the boy go, Zelretch would no longer be able to enjoy the boy's gaming.
As such he also took notice of how the world he is about to go is like a videogame, so he decided 'Why not?' and did a little something about how the boy's system will work.
Of course, it includes the data about the cards, and an instruction to keep playing Heroic Legends every day. For that he made the smartphone with eternal batteries, it was not that hard if you know Alchemy and has seen perfect batteries in one of the trillions of parallel dimensions.
"Now go, and make that world more interesting for me to watch young Pussysmasher57Ex2."
////////////////////////
Opening my eyes after being thrown to the ground by some weird shit I saw people shouting about.
"We did it, the summoning was a success!" A man said in front of me, as I don't have a single clue about the situation I am in I got annoyed at the cheer of the man's tone. I just got thrown in the ground due to some mysterious shit and this guy is cheering.
Well, fuck you too.
"Wait, something is wrong. Why is there an extra there amongst the four cardinal heroes?" One of the bastards talking said pointing his finger at my face.
"Well, you say I am an extra then? Okay, come here as I want to see who you will call extra when I plant my foot so high up your ass that-"
"Kaito, manners." brother said on the side and I reigned myself back. I never quite figured out why but the only things that can help me restrain my anger is when someone I care about admonishes me about it or by playing violent video games as a way to vent. That is probably the reason as to why I am good at gaming in general and particularly love fighting games and RPGs where I plan out my fights to crush those I have to defeat in the most humiliating way possible.
I have issues, sue me.
"Regardless, we can deal with the extra later." There it was, the condescending tone of bitches waiting to be slapped. He then went on in a blabbering about saving the world, ending the waves, and bla, bla, bla. The only saving grace of this all, whatever this all even means, is that my brother is here with me.
The other three that were, apparently, summoned too were, for the lack of better words, a bunch of assholes. I dealt with all manner of idiots and assholes during the many times idiots thought I or my brother were easy prey, I taught them not to commit the same mistake again. So yeah, I know idiots and these three are bonafide ones.
We then were asked to follow the guards to talk to the king, it was a bit annoying but I followed along. I mean, it can't end up THAT badly.
////////////////////////
I was wrong, very, very wrong.
How, you ask? Well, apparently the king is an giant pile of trash and I may or may not be on the dungeons right now due to, maybe, just maybe, call him 'fucking idiotic pencil dick asshole' for calling me aberration due to being summoned despite not being one of the Cardinal Heroes. There is also the fact that I 'stole' an item from the king the instant I walked in the room and said item is with me even right now as it simply refuses to leave me even when the bastard pulled it and even threatened to chop my hand off for me to release what is his, a coment that earned him a shock that sent him across the hall even as I did nothing except hold the weapon that blasted the king away.
I guess the king is pissed that he now is even less of the shadow of a man he was supposed to be considering he no longer has his Legendary Staff. Him taking it out on me by throwing me on the dungeons like that and all seems fitting, oh well I did hear him grumbling when, at the moment he was about to order my execution on the grunds that I stole his weapon, a shadowed figure appeared by his side, spoke something to him, and now I am to be released in three days time.
Vassal Cane
Current form: Seven Star Cane
Current owner: Iwatami Kaito
User Level 1* (due to unique energy in the user's body he doesn't receive the bonus EXP for battle from being a hero, instead the bonus energy is to be used to adapt the Vassal Weapon to the energy of the user to properly be of use, process should be completed at level 40. Feeding the weapon materials may create extra forms)
I don't really know much about this weapon, but I did swing a pipe or two when idiots came at me and I did enjoy using characters that use staffs to fight in videogames quite a bit. This will probably be fun.
But, one thing I noticed was a bunch of cards in my pocket when I was looking for my phone. They look cool but for some reason, I feel they are not quite so simple.
Well, I guess I have the time to find out what they are after I take a look at my phone.
'Greetings, young Pussysmasher57Ex. I am the one to sed you to this world. I am as close to a true God you will ever get but I gave you something special to make sure you are safe. Below are the instructions of use of my gift to you, I hope you like it.' And as I read the rest of the message, the explanation about the cards, the nine Class Cards, I shown a smile from ear to ear.
A smile that only grew immensely bigger when I reached the end there.
'PS: I changed to phone to have infinite power with access to the internet.'
"Oh, fuck the hell yeah."
