CHAPTER 13 - Abuse.
I move a little away from the castle, but… I… I can't… I can't keep… flying anymore… I'm really… so tired…
I can't go on…
"Mother…"
I feel too exhausted… I can't continue.
"I… can't… go on."
I start to fall because I've completely lost all my energy, and my mother catches me in her arms…
I can't take it anymore.
I hope they don't do anything weird to me while I'm asleep.
One of those demon girls keeps staring at me like she's devouring me with her eyes. I'm scared she might try something strange while I'm sleeping.
"Mother… please… Just this once… act like a mother… and take care of me…"
Please… Please.

Daniel, filled with terror at what might happen to him while asleep, closed his eyes in tears and fell into a deep sleep.
Daniel has had experiences that left him traumatized in the past, like the attempted rapes he's suffered from both women… and men.
He's afraid they'll take advantage of him while he's asleep, but right now, he can't do anything to shake off that fear. Trusting his mother is his only option, but considering what she's done to him, doing so doesn't bring him any relief. He remained just as terrified, with the only difference being that he at least has the hope that his mother's maternal side will kick in and protect him, even if just a little.
"His magical energy is depleted."
"Monderfol told us about him. He's from World 15. What's he doing in World 1?"
Information about people summoned from other worlds is only known by high-ranking demons, like the Demon King himself. Why? Because it's supposed to be a celestial rule—only the Gods should know about it. But if the existence of that rule spreads, the summoned ones will become more powerful to punish those who dared insult the Gods by giving mortals knowledge they shouldn't have.
Currently, only Daniel and the Demon King know about the summoned ones.
"I don't know, I don't know anything about him. I died when he was born."
"He's an interesting one… And handsome. Hehe. Leave me alone with him," Norly said, trying to grope Daniel's crotch, but Nadia moved away from her, preventing it.
"He's my son, you won't do anything weird to him."
Nadia acting like a real mother? Well, no. The reality is quite disappointing, and also cruel.
"Besides, he looks so much like his father, my dear husband. You can grope him when I'm not around."
"Tch. Only because you're my future mother-in-law, I'll be patient and wait."
Did she fall in love with him? Not exactly. It's not love; it's simple sexual and physical attraction. She found him attractive, that's all, but something else stirred in her.
Something that makes her feel she should give Daniel the most precious thing she has. Something she promised herself she'd give to her master. But now that she's met Daniel, her master's place in her heart was replaced by Daniel. Love or not, it's unclear. It's impossible to feel love for someone you don't even know or have spoken to.
What she feels isn't love. So, what is it? No one knows, not even she knows exactly what it is, though she believes it's love… Well, yes, there's someone who knows what it is. Someone quite important, who's watching Daniel right now through a magical mirror while drinking a glass of orange juice and comparing a photo of a certain boy (Kei, the protagonist of I'm an Inferior Being with the Ability to Seduce Women) with Daniel.
That boy and Daniel share many physical traits, except Daniel looks more mature, while that boy looks more youthful and cheerful, with that big smile on his face.
They look quite alike, yet at the same time, they're so different.
"She fell in love with him. Love at first sight. Wow. This shouldn't have happened. It makes no sense, but oh well, let's see how this plays out," said that being… The Supreme God.
The God of Gods.
He took a sip of his juice and wiped his mouth with the boy's photo.
"The protagonist's curse affected her, something that only happened with Kei and shouldn't happen with Daniel, since he comes from a normal world. Did I make a mistake?"
And while he analyzed the situation regarding the demon girl and her new obsession with Daniel, Nadia continued talking with the legendary demons.
"Monderfol told us not to return until we convince him to join us."
"Let's go to the Delsmo border. Keeping him away from the Demon King is the best option. Daniel is human, but his presence in this world is a mystery. The Demon King must have a reason for keeping him alive for now. Taking him to the Kingdom would definitely be a very bad idea."
"Even in the past, it was the same. Keeping him alive is definitely a very bad idea, and because of that, we lost the war back then. But oh well, the master must have his reasons for keeping Daniel alive."
Upon hearing that, Nadia narrowed her eyes and looked at Daniel's face, who was still crying in his sleep, as even while asleep, he was terrified of what might happen to him.
"Alright."
That's all she said, but inside, her mind was filled with doubts and concerns.
"Why keep Daniel alive? Why take such a risk? Son, why are you here? Who sent you?" she thought.
And while Nadia reflected on the current situation, Daniela burst into the house, smashing the door with her body, so desperate and frightened that she didn't even have time to open it with her hand.
Her behavior was highly unstable. Her body was filled with terror and worry because her master, Daniel, had been kidnapped by demons, in a highly unfavorable situation with no magical energy to even stand. And that behavior is unusual for angels, who are generally expressionless and would never care so much about a human, as angels have no feelings.
"Daniel's been kidnapped!!" she shouted as she entered.
Her shout echoed through all of them.
Rem and Daniel's grandmother, who were in the kitchen, rushed out immediately, filled with fear. Especially Daniel's grandmother. After all, it was bad news about her only grandson, the person she loves most. Hearing someone suddenly shout that Daniel was kidnapped was something her fragile heart could barely handle.
"Kidnapped?!" both said in unison.
"His mother and five other demons took him!"
"W-what?" was all Daniel's grandmother could say before her eyes filled with tears and her body lost energy, nearly fainting. But if she did, she wouldn't be able to help find Daniel, so she bit her arm to keep from passing out.
She knows how sensitive she is and how easily she cries. It's no wonder Daniel remembered her as a woman who pretended to be strong but was weak and fearful inside.
And at that moment, the weak and fearful woman inside her was locked away, as that wouldn't help her rescue Daniel.
"We have to help him! Everyone, move your asses now!!" Rem shouted.
Rose rushed down the stairs as fast as she could, alarmed by the situation.
"Daniel was kidnapped?!"
"No time for questions, let's go get him!" said Daniel's grandmother.
"Rose, I need you to go to the kings of Grenfor and tell them to gather all the adventurers in the country!" Daniela said.
"All of them?!"
"The King of Soular will invade Delsmo; he needs Grenfor's help to do it!"
"I'll go right away!"
Rose rushed out the door and flew off as fast as she could.
"I'm going to find Daniel!" Daniela said.
"I'll go with you!" said Daniel's grandmother.
"Me too!" said Rem.
"Sorry, you can't fly. We'll go," said Daniel's grandmother.
"That's true. I'll let the others know what's happening!" said Rem.
Daniela and Daniel's grandmother rushed out the door.
"Angel conver!"
Daniel's grandmother transformed into an angel, and Daniela's wings appeared.
"Follow me!"
"Let's go!" said Daniel's grandmother.
The two flew off in the direction the demons had gone.
"I'll call him," said Daniel's grandmother, unaware that it was impossible for Daniel to answer for two reasons.
Number 1: He was asleep.
Number 2: Because of the angel girl beside her.
Daniel's grandmother took out her phone and tried to call him.
"Come on…"
The call was answered, but it wasn't what she thought.
"Dani, where are you?!"
It wasn't him.
"Cristina, it's Rem. Daniel left his phone in his room!"
"What?!"
She hung up immediately to avoid wasting more time and put her phone away.
"He doesn't have his phone!"
Upon hearing that, Daniela remembered that when she laid Daniel on the bed, she took the phone out of his pocket so he wouldn't sleep uncomfortably with something hard in his pocket.
She stayed silent, not saying anything, to avoid feeling guiltier than she already did.
Daniel's grandmother began to cry harder than before. Her fragile heart ached… The news of her grandson's kidnapping was something no grandmother would want to hear.
A small part of her, like Daniel, held onto the hope that Nadia's maternal instinct would kick in and she'd protect Daniel. But considering Nadia's recent actions and her dark past, unlike Daniel, who still loved his mother, that small hope she had in Nadia vanished, leaving only darkness in her.
"Dani…"
Daniel's grandmother, the only one who knew Nadia's past.
A past filled with pain… inflicted on others.

(Pov - Daniel.)
(11 hours later.)
(Delsmo border.)
Where am I?
"Ow… My head hurts."
I woke up on the ground, in the middle of a forest or something, because all I see are trees and… a little girl staring at me?
Huh? What's she doing here? Did some powerful adventurer save me?! What if that little girl is actually a thousand-year-old spirit who saved me?
Oh… Considering my luck lately, I highly doubt it.
"Well, well. Where am I, kid?"
… She doesn't answer. Is my auto-translation skill not working?
I stand up and yawn. Oh… Well… Now what?
"Hello, Daniel."
Well, well. She does talk… And she knows me… Why?
"You know me? Hehe. Am I that famous in this world, huh?"
Jokes aside, how does she…?
"Daniel's awake!!"
… Oh… Damn it!! It was too good to be true.
A girl, a man, a demi-human, a fairy, and my mother appear from behind some trees and head toward me.
Seriously? They hid just to get my hopes up?
Tch.
But… where are the demons? Did my mother decide to side with her son and betray the Demon King? Oh, I highly doubt it.
"You sure sleep a lot, son," my mother said with a sweet smile.
Yeah, yeah, keep pretending you're not a monster.
"Mother? And the demons?"
Wait… Daniel, didn't you notice?
I look at all of them. Yes, they look different, but… They're… They're them, I'm sure… But they look different. Why?
"They are…?"
"Yes, they're the five legendary demons."
Five…? Five?!
I look at the little girl… She's a demon?!
"Even her?!"
"Yes, even her."
"Ahhhhh! That's stooping too low! I'll report you to child protection services!"
But jokes aside, that fairy woman…
I stare at the fairy… She looks like Rose… She's identical to her, but I don't feel like it's her. Who could she be?
I point at her with my index finger… Is she a relative of Rose?
"Rose, are you a demon?"
I'm sure it's not her, but I'd rather confirm.
"Rose? I think you're mistaken. My name is Henrietta."
I sigh in relief; her voice is different.
Sorry for doubting you, Rose, it's just that… Well… They're identical!!
I don't think it's Rose trying to trick me. If that were the case, a simple mask would fool me. Why doesn't she hide her face? I don't think it's Rose, but I'm sure she's a relative of Rose.
"Your voice is different; you're not Rose."
Back to reality, I'm kidnapped. Uwaaah! Please, God, don't let them have taken advantage of me! I want to keep my purity! Please, please, please… God, I beg you, let nothing have happened to me.
I check my body… Hmm… Oh… No… Phew.
My butt and member are still intact. Thanks for protecting my virginity, mo… Huh?
What? Blood?
W-why do I have dried blood on my penis?
Did a virgin rape me?!
No, wait, Daniel, don't jump to conclusions. Remember, the hymen breaks easily, which is why many female athletes break it during training without having sex.
Demon women probably train much harder; I'm sure even virgins don't have an intact hymen.
It's impossible for a legendary demon to have raped me. This dried blood didn't come from me, as I don't have any visible cuts.
Oh, I don't understand anything. I'll think about it later; I hear footsteps. My mother is trying to approach me.
I step back a bit from them, and my mother stops when she sees me move away.
"What do you want from me?"
"We want to offer you the chance to join us," my mother said.
"Join you?"
"Yes, join us, the demons. We'll rule this world. Blah, blah, blah. In short, join us, and you'll survive, son."
"I won't. Can I go now?"
"I don't think you understand. If you join us, you'll live. The demons will conquer World 1, and in the near future, all worlds will be ours."
Typical villain plan… I won't be part of you; I'd rather defeat you! God is counting on me; I won't betray His trust!
I'm not like you, mother. The last thing I'd do in my life is betray God's trust and my grandmother's.
And if I have to kill you to achieve my goal… I will.
"Muslar asio! Dex Sword!"
The sword appears in my hands.
"I'm not joining you! Who'll be the first to die?!"
"Hehe."
My mother laughed and approached me.
"Do it for me, mother and son working together. Doesn't that sound like a great idea? Don't you want to spend time with your mother?"
"I don't care; I won't do it!"
"So you want to fight me and kill me?"
"I don't want to, but I have to…! Huh?"
M-my mother placed her neck against the tip of my sword.
W-what the hell is she trying to do?
"Then kill me," she said… with a sweet, tender smile… Why the hell does she look so cute?!
Nooooo! Daniel, she's trying to manipulate you! This is your chance! Do it, do it, do it! Do it, you son of a bitch!
Ahhhhh!
… I-I can't move… M-my hands are starting to shake… Damn it… I can't.
I… can't… I can't do it… I want to do it…! But at the same time, I don't want to.
I know I have to, but… she's my mother… My own mother…
"Do it!"
"Ahhhhh!!"
I drop the sword, and it disappears… I don't dare kill my mother!
I'm a damn coward! God, if you knew my mother was here, why did you send me to this world?! It makes no sense…! It doesn't… Damn it!!
"Why can't I do it?!"
… Huh? Tears…? Tears…
Tears stream from my eyes. Tears my mother doesn't deserve, but my own being betrays me… Why does this have to happen to me? Why does my heart ache when I see her?!
I know she's my mother, but she's also a demon, my enemy!
Why can't I bring myself to kill her?
"I'm your mother; a son would never harm his own mother."
"Mother… why don't you love me?"
"Would you love a stranger?"
"But… I'm your son."
"So what?"
"… You know, I always dreamed of…"
"Blah, blah, blah. Are you going to start with your emotional speech, crybaby? Stop with the nonsense and listen. Join us; we offer you women, power, slaves. You'll get everything you want."
"Everything I want?"
"Yes, everything you want."
Women? No thanks, I'm not a pervert, and I'm not interested in romance. You won't buy me with that. Besides, I'm handsome; I could have any woman on her knees if I wanted.
Power? For what? What good is power if I'll be a servant to the demons?
Slaves? That's disgusting; I hate that. I'm against slavery.
There's only one thing I want to do… And that's defeat them.
"The only thing I want is to kill all the demons. That's the only thing I want."
"Pfft."
"Hahahahaha!"
They all start laughing. Yes, go ahead, keep laughing. I don't care. And you know why? Because I confirmed I'm much more powerful than you.
Maybe in a fight, you'd beat me, but I still have Plan B.
"You couldn't."
I'm a rookie, I know that perfectly. I'm new to all this fighting and magic stuff.
But give me enough time, and I'll have the Demon King begging on the ground, pleading for his life.
"I know I still need a lot of training. But I promise you, one day, I'll kill all the demons with my own hands, and that includes you, mother."
They keep laughing… They don't think I can do it, huh?
Hehe. I guess I can take advantage to escape. I saw them fly, so I know they're not that fast.
It took them a while to find me in Soular, so yes, if my theory is correct, I'm faster than you.
I have two plans in mind.
Number 1: Escape.
Number 2: If they turn out to be faster than me and catch me, I'll use "that" spell when they take me to their King.
It's a win-win.
You shouldn't have underestimated me, mother.
"Let me tell you something. You guys, when you fly, you're slower than me! Arches Nexus!"
I fly away from the place at full speed. Ahhhhh! Come on, Daniel, full throttle! Don't look back!
Huh? Uwaaah! The little girl is hugging my leg!
"Sorry for this."
I hit her in the face to make her let go.
She let go and started falling, but I feel guilty for hitting a little girl.
I know she's a demon, but… Huh?
"Damn it!"
They all transformed into demons and are trying to catch me.
Hehe. It's useless; they're not as fast as me. They won't catch me. I'm getting farther out of their reach. Goodbye, idiots!
Goodbye, mother… I hope I never see you again… But I know that won't be possible.
"We won't catch him!"
"He's too fast!"
"Daniel, come back!!"
I keep flying, completely ignoring my mother's shouts.
Goodbye.
•
•
"Damn it!"
"He escaped!"
"Stop flying; we'll never catch him. We're just wasting energy!"
"We should've killed him while he was asleep! Why does our master want him alive?!"
"Hehe. Well, at least I got to see his penis and taste it," Norly said, smiling, showing her sharp teeth.
"Huh…? What did you do to my son while he was asleep?! He's identical to his father! Did you rape him?! I won't forgive you…! Oh… I need to control myself… I'll let it go for now."
Despite Norly practically admitting to sexually assaulting Daniel, Nadia only got angry because Daniel looks like her husband, so it was as if her husband had been assaulted by her. That's the only reason she got mad.
Daniel was sexually assaulted by Norly, and his mother doesn't seem to genuinely care about what happened to him.
They all land on the ground.
"Now what do we do?"
"We can't go back to Monderfol."
"But he's determined to kill us all."
"Not all of us; he didn't dare kill me… I have an idea."
•
•
(Pov - Daniel.)
I keep flying for several minutes. I can't see them anymore, but I kept flying aimlessly just to be sure.
… I think I lost them.
"I think they're not following me anymore."
Good… Where am I?
I try to take out my phone… But… I don't have it.
Uwaaah! Did the demons steal it?!
"This day can't get any worse!"
Damn it… Now what? How do I get back home without a map?
I look around… All I see are trees and animals. No signs of civilization. How far from society am I?
"Where am I?"
I keep flying and look around, searching for a village.
"There has to be a town around here; I need directions."
Hmm… Nothing… Nothing…
Trees… More trees… Oh, two giant bears fighting… Oh, they're not fighting. Gross.
Nothing… Nothing… Something! A house! And kids!
I see two kids playing outside a house… The house is small, and it seems to be the only one around here. Maybe it belongs to a lumberjack, fisherman, hunter, or something? Oh well. I hope they have a map!
"I'll ask them."
I land in front of the kids, and they seem very scared by my sudden presence. They're trembling with fear… Well, I'd be terrified too if someone landed in front of me.
Don't worry, kids, I'm the good guy in this story. And you're lucky, because just minutes ago, I was offered a chance to switch sides, and I didn't take it.
"I won't hurt you; I just want to know where I am. Am I still on Continent 2? Where am I?"
The kids are still scared, but one of them gathers the courage to try to answer.
He stumbles at first, but finally speaks.
Do I really look that scary?
"C-Continent 2? N-no, we're on Continent 1. Continent 2 is over there."
He points with his index finger to show me where it is.
"I'm on Continent 1? Oh, well, well. I see, I see… Yes… Ahhhhh!! Damn it, those demon bastards will pay for this!! Arches Nexus!"
I fly away from there. Ahhhhh! I hope I have enough energy to make the trip!
•
•
"Brother, why did you lie to him?"
"So that demon would go far away from here."
Daniel is a good person. He's kind to everyone… But that doesn't mean everyone is kind to him.
And unfortunately, that lie will cost him his life.
•
•
Oh… While I fly, I reflect a bit… I think that kid lied to me.
"I think he was lying… I feel it… Or maybe I'm imagining things… I'd better believe him."
Why do I think that? Well, I don't know, maybe because… Well… The sea and sky are full of monsters!! Ahhhhh! A giant squid!
Did the demons really make this dangerous trip?! Couldn't we have talked in a bar or something?! Damn it!
W-well, as long as I stay away from the monsters, I'll be fine.
•
•
(2 hours later.)
I'm still flying over the sea… Ugh… So boring.
"It's okay, I just have to keep going straight until I reach… Is Delsmo on Continent 1…? I hope no sea monster attacks me around here."
Are there giant shrimp or giant sharks?
At least this part of the sea is calm.
•
•
(Soular King's Castle.)
In the vast expanses before the majestic castle, a countless multitude of brave adventurers gathered, like a restless sea yearning for triumph.
Ready to go out and fight, they wait for the King to speak.
"The demons have dared to snatch the betrothed of my daughters from among us! But hear my words well: with the fire of determination in our hearts, we will storm the very gates of Delsmo to rescue him!"
A thunderous roar resounds, a deafening chorus of voices rises to the heavens in a symphony of courage.
"Humans and demi-humans, united for a greater purpose, shoulder to shoulder, we will rise to eradicate every last trace of demons from these lands."
Among the ranks of the demi-humans, whispers of complaints echo, like the distant sound of discord. But like gales yielding to the strength of the rising sun, these doubts soon fade.
"Let us cast off the chains of resentment and let the flame of cooperation light our path. Though hatred doesn't vanish in a blink, we must try, for the glory that awaits us."
Among the demi-humans, a murmur persists, like the last shadows resisting the arrival of day. But in the end, it yields to reason.
"It is imperative that we forge an unbreakable alliance, a shield that will protect us from the voracious jaws of the demons. What choice do we have but to perish under their yoke?"
The demi-humans, silenced, join the cause, understanding the bitter reality in his words.
"The kings of Grenfor have raised banners of war, and in just days, we will march to Delsmo! Fransme, our protector God, watches us from the heavens, trusting in our worth!"
An overwhelming clamor echoes, a chorus united in devotion and courage hails the God who illuminates their hopes.
"And what of Fransme's reincarnation, Daniel himself? Shall we leave him behind? No! He was our bulwark in the darkness; now it's our turn to protect him. Are we ready to give everything?!"
A deafening roar, a surge of boundless determination, like an unstoppable torrent, sweeps away doubt and reluctance.
"Fransme, oh great God of light! Your name resounds in our battle cries, in our burning hearts! For you, for us, for our world, we will march to victory in unbreakable unity!"
And so, like waves embracing the shore, Fransme's name rises to the sky in an overwhelming song of hope and conviction.

Finder King's Castle.
Rose is with King Finder. They're in the main hall, meeting with other important people, finalizing the last details before the great war that approaches.
A war that could end in a single battle.
"I've already sent my kingdom's knights to gather all the adventurers."
"And the other kingdoms?"
"I've sent my messengers to inform my children and Kate what they need to do."
"Good. The faster we move, the sooner we'll find him."

(Pov - Daniel.)
(4 hours later.)
(Continent… 3?)
I reach land. Land, land, land! Oh, I missed you so much. I'd kiss you, but I still have a bit of dignity left.
Oh… That was a long trip.
"Good, I'm on Continent 2… Or so I think… Now I just need to ask for directions to get to Soular."
I keep flying and arrive at a town. Well, that was quick. Thank you!
"Good, there's a town here."
I land, and all the adventurers draw their weapons. Oh, this is getting repetitive. Won't they even greet me?! Hello, hello, good afternoon. Be polite!
"Demon!"
"Wait, I'm not a demon! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, rude jerk?! I have a name; I'm not called 'demon'! Let's start over. Hi, I'm a human named…"
"Prove it!"
Ouch! Kid, don't throw rocks at my head! Ow, ow, ow… B-blood? Uwaaah! I'm bleeding! I'd better clear up this misunderstanding before they kill me.
Oh… Alright, let's get this over with.
I take off my vest and shirt.
"Angel conver!"
I transform into an angel.
"I'm an angel, lower your weapons!"
They all look at me in surprise and lower their weapons… Well… Oh, sometimes the generic surprised expressions are disappointing.
They just gasp and stay silent. It's so disappointing and awkward.
"Incredible!" said a girl.
A girl approaches me.
Well, well. How cute. She's a girl with long blonde hair, dark brown eyes, wearing a blue skirt and a green blouse. She seems very excited.
Blonde hair with dark brown eyes… Doesn't quite match.
"Could you teach me angel-type spells?!"
"Sorry, you need to have angel-type magic to use those spells."
"I have all types of magic, don't worry!"
…
…
…
Did I hear that right?
…
…
…
Yes, I think I heard right.
Yes, yes, I definitely heard right.
… Uwaaah! Is she the other chosen one?! Am I not on Continent 2?! Are you telling me I flew all those hours for nothing?!
P-please, tell me it's not true. I'd be happy to meet another chosen one, but my grandmother is in danger! Please, tell me I misheard!
"W-what did you say?"
"That I have all types of magic. I know you'll say it's impossible, so here."
She pulls out a card and shows it to me.
She looks so confident. Ugh… Damn it.
"… We're on Continent 2, right?"
"No, you're on Continent 3."
They were really lying!
"Damn lying kids! Didn't their mother teach them not to lie, you sons of bitches?! Ahhhhh!"
My transformation fades, and I put my clothes back on.
"I flew for hours for nothing! Damn it!"
Sorry for the swearing, Grandma, but it's unavoidable! My blood is boiling with rage!
"What's wrong with you?"
"Are you the one who can use the Dix Sword?"
"Huh? Yes, I can use it. Why?"
"Dex Sword!"
The sword appears in my hands.
"Because I'm like you."
"Like me?"
From her expression of disbelief, I think she believes she's the only chosen one. Oh, I don't blame you; I thought the same.
I lean in and whisper so others won't hear us.
"God sent me to this world too."
"Huh?!"
She grabs my right arm tightly… Wow, her hands are soft.
"I need to verify it; we're going to the guild!"
"I'm not lying to you!"
Oh, I'll play along to calm my anger.
We enter the town's guild, and she throws me toward a desk. Ow, ow. Was that much violence necessary?!
"Zeis, he's registering!"
"Sure, place your hand on the orb."
"Whatever."
I place my right hand on the orb.
"You know I have a card too, right?"
"They could be fake."
Oh… I just want to leave.
A minute later, a card appears out of nowhere, and Zeis takes it.
"Daniel, huh? Nice name. Age, 16. Magic types… All of them?!"
"You told the truth!"
"Blah, blah, blah. She'll pay for it; I'm poor. Bye, I have to go."
I leave the guild. I don't have time; I need to get back immediately.
The girl followed me.
Oh, I know this is inevitable, but I'm really in a hurry. Bratty kids, I'll get revenge later.
"Wait, I want to talk to you!"
"Sorry, I want to talk to you too, but I have to go."
"I'll go with you; wait for me!"
Wait… This could be a good idea! The more help, the better!
"Thanks, I think I'll need your help."
"Please, come with me."
We start walking together and arrive at a large house. Well, that was quick; we didn't even have time to talk.
"Let's go in."
We enter, and I see two girls and two guys inside… Wow, she managed to get male companions. I'm jealous. Why do I only get female companions?! I want male friends.
"I'm leaving for a while; I'm going with him."
"Why?" said one of the girls.
One of her male companions grabs me by the shirt.
"You're leaving with this kid?"
He's jealous, huh? I'm used to this.
But hey, idiot, who are you calling a kid?
"This kid has all types of magic," the girl said.
I'm not a kid!
The girl shows them my card.
"Here, you forgot it."
I take the card and put it away.
"Thanks… Uwaaah!"
This idiot tried to punch me in the face! What's wrong with him?!
Luckily, I reacted in time and dodged his fist. You're not the first to try to hit me like that, idiot. Besides, since I got here, I haven't deactivated the "Muslar asio" spell because this is an unfamiliar place, and I'd rather not take too many risks.
His companion lets me go, but because I forced him to.
I kneed him in the stomach and punched him in the face. I sent him flying.
Yes, yes, it was wrong, but he tried to hit me!
"He's like you?!"
"Yes."
Ignoring what just happened, the two girls approach me.
"Incredible!"
"What's your name?!"
"I'm Daniel."
"Daniel?!"
"He's like you, but the male version, Daniela!"
Daniela…? Ugh… This is weird and a bit awkward… Is she my female version from another world?
No, it must be a coincidence… I hope so.
"Your name's Daniela? Well, well. What a coincidence… Anyway, we don't have time. Let's go."
"Yes!"
We leave the house.
"I'll be back later!"
"Arches Nexus!"
"Arches Nexus!"
We fly away from the place. Same flight spell, huh? I guess God gave us the same things.
"Hey, Daniel, did God give you a magical ring too?"
"Magical ring? No, He gave me a phone."
"Phone?"
"What's a magical ring?"
"It's for enhancing my psychic powers."
Oh, yes, I'd heard about that world.
"You're from World 3?"
"Yes."
"I'm from World 15, the tech world."
"And what are you doing on Continent 3?"
"I escaped from some demons and asked some kids where I was, and they told me I was on Continent 1. That's why I came to Continent 3; I thought it was Continent 2. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't left my phone at home."
Or the demons stole it. I'm holding onto the hope that I left it at home because I don't remember feeling it in my pocket before being kidnapped. Of course, maybe because of the sleepiness, I ignored the existence of my phone in my pocket, but hope is the last thing to die!
"Interesting."
"It's a long journey… Can you tell me about the adventures you've had here? So we don't get bored."
"Sure, I'll tell you everything."
Well, my first encounter with another chosen one was pretty… normal. I was expecting something more epic, but normal is always welcome, as it's less dangerous.
