Summoning Heroes in Aetheria
Aetheria is a celestial realm comprising seven continents brimming with treasures, mysteries, and dangers. Each continent is unique, characterized by elemental forces such as fire, water, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness.
The continent engulfed in fire elementals is known as Ignis, while the realm dominated by water elements is called Aquaria. Gaia stands as a lush land ruled by earth elements and is home to the supreme and godly treasure known as the World Tree. Gale is the domain of wind elements, while Fulgor is renowned for its thunder elements. Luminara shines brightly with light, contrasting with Ecliptera, the realm of darkness.
Despite their former glory, these continents have fallen from their golden age of prosperity, which led to an era known as Opulent—a time when Celestials and quasi-Celestials ruled.
An unknown factor led to the destruction of this opulent civilization, leaving behind enigmatic footprints in the world of Aetheria.
This triggered the activation of ancient sigils left behind by the supreme emperor of the Opulent Era, summoning the seven guardians of the continents known as heroes. They were equipped with systems created by the supreme Celestial ruler of the Opulent Era.
These systems were designed to pave a glorious and victorious path, embodying supreme power capable of building and developing a grand empire.
Deep within the archaic castle lies a gigantic door adorned with runes and sigils, inscribed with a primeval language resonating with elemental energy. It feels as though the elements themselves are dancing and swirling around the castle. A deep voice, filled with sadness and the demeanor of a ruler, echoes from within, proclaiming, "It's time for a new era—a Lucrative Era. Hahaha...." The laughter emanating from the castle signifies the arrival of a new power into this world—not just the seven guardians, but a supremely powerful irregular destined to rule over everything, a supreme cheat.

Within the home world of Summers, we encounter our preeminent protagonist, Kalki. "Hi, I am your preeminent protagonist, Kalki," he begins, reflecting on his seemingly unremarkable existence. "Practically, I am a jobless, aimless bachelor—good for nothing. So, I've decided to end it all. I have a plan to meet my demise by the next truck that comes my way. Oh truck, please transport me to another world filled with alluring girls and a harem. Maybe even some beast girls! Thank you, God, for taking me away."
Unbeknownst to Kalki, destiny unfolds within the very bus he plans to meet his end. Among the passengers are the future guardians of a mysterious realm.

**Guardians:**
"Where are we headed, Terra?" Ember inquired with her playful demeanor, interrupting the quiet atmosphere. "I'm quite busy, you know. Are we off for a hike?" Ember and her six companions were on a trip to Mount Everest, engaging in lively banter when suddenly, a truck collided with their bus.
Ember, Torrent, Terra, Breeze, Volt, Lucia, and Raven found themselves in a state of shock and terror as the bus careened off the road and into a lake. Despite Raven and Breeze's valiant attempts to rescue their friends amidst the chaos of water and panic, they struggled to find a way to help the others.
However, this unexpected calamity marked the beginning of a fantastical adventure for them—a journey into a world of unknowns and endless possibilities. Little did they know, their paths would soon cross with Kalki, the enigmatic protagonist, setting the stage for new alliances and thrilling escapades.
Only time will reveal whether they emerge unscathed from this ordeal, venturing into the unknown realms that await them.
**Point of View (Kalki)**
"Oh, shit! What in the world is this pain? Ah, yes, this must be for my freedom, my harem, and my future wives." With these unfulfilled dreams in mind, our seemingly aimless protagonist breathed his last.
In a separate space detached from any recognizable world, enveloped in a milky-white expanse, a voice of artificial intelligence reverberated through the void.
[Who is this? There is no record in my system of an 8th guardian being present.]
Amidst the confusion, Kalki heard the voice and felt a surge of excitement—reincarnated into another world with a system, the ultimate advantage for a transmigrator the golden finger. However, there was little time to revel in this newfound reality.
[Returning this person to his own world... Progress: 1%, 32%, 45%, 69%. Loading, loading... Error, error!]
" No, no, no! Please don't send me back there! Please!" Kalki pleaded desperately, fearing a return to a life he wished to escape.
[No, according to the laws of [@#@@##3], an unwanted soul cannot enter permissionless worlds.]
Terrified by the prospect of returning to a life he dreaded, Kalki longed for something different. An orphan seeking adventure, love, and affection he never received in his previous world.
[I have already allocated all the systems to the required Guardians, but there seems to be an error. I cannot send you back,] the AI explained, its voice echoing with finality.
Upon hearing this, Kalki's heart blossomed with newfound hope. "So, what now? If you can't send me back to my world..."
[Then I can only provide a self-building system and send you to the central continent, which encompasses all elements. Can you become a qualified Guardian?]
Deep in thought, Kalki inquired about the world he was destined for, preparing himself mentally for the adventures ahead—and, of course, for his harem.
Intrigued by the AI's proposal, Kalki asked for more details about the central continent. "Tell me about this world," he urged, eager to understand the new reality he was about to enter.
The AI began to describe the central continent—an expansive landmass where all elemental forces converged. [This continent is the heart of our world, embodying the essence of fire, water, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness. It is a realm of unparalleled beauty and danger, teeming with mystical creatures and ancient mysteries waiting to be unraveled.]
Excitement coursed through Kalki as he imagined the possibilities that lay ahead. "And how does one become a qualified Guardian?" he inquired, determined to prove his worth and embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
The AI explained the rigorous trials and challenges that Guardians must overcome to fulfill their destiny. [To become a Guardian, one must demonstrate courage, wisdom, and strength. Only those deemed worthy by the elemental spirits can harness the power to protect and guide our world.]
With newfound resolve, Kalki accepted the AI's offer. "I am ready," he declared, his eyes filled with determination. "Send me to the central continent. I will become a Guardian and forge my path in this new world."
As the AI prepared to transport Kalki to his destination, the young protagonist felt a surge of anticipation and excitement. Little did he know that his journey would not only lead him to fulfill his dreams but also uncover the true purpose of his existence in this fantastical realm.
