...
It's late. and sixteen year old Raval is deep into his natural habitat, Late night internet spelunking. His room was quiet except for the struggling laptops fan that sounding lika jet engine trying to take flight.
Half slumped on his bed, he's scrolling through a forum that looked like it was last updated when dinasours debated tax laws.
He clicks a thread titled. "A Question For You"
And within the message was;
Are you curious about living in a fantasy world?
Is your world just not enough?
Would you like to transmigrate into a whole new world?
Y/N
Raval, wise beyond his years, snorts.
"Tranmigrate into a fantasy world? I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed. but isn't that the place of monsters, fighting and death?"
"It may be a little pesimistic, but on the off chance i get put in another world and end up like Subaru or Kazuma... Yeah i'll just stick my curious ass in my room."
He confidently drags the cursor toward N. He's making the right decision. But his finger twitches, the cursor jumps. And he clicks...
Y
He freezes for a moment, Eyes widening. "Huh? MISINPUT, MISINPUT. That was a MISINPUT"
The computer responds, a small polite message appears.
"Your choice has been registered. Enjoy"
He face palms and growls at the ceiling. "I Swear, if i get isekai'd because of a stupid misclick..."
He angrily closes his laptop shut and flops back into the bed. Closing his eyes as sleep drags him under fast, Exhaustion Winning.
And in that vulnerable moment, something gently plucks him out of this world like a file being dragged to a new folder.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within the small town of Greylow in The East region of kindom of Talessa. In a shady alleyway there was a boy with a lean, well built body, messy golden hair and if his eyes were open piercing blood red eyes. He was currently laying on the cold hard moist floor, slowly stiring awake.
Raval opened his eyes to the sight of an unfamiliar environment. He was in what he presumes is an allayway, a shady looking one at that. And he was... on the floor?
"The hell? where am I?" Raval questioned, rising from the moist floor he was lying on.
"Was i kidnnaped?" He lifted the green tunic on him that was in suprisingly good condition.
"Hmh no scars, so my organs are fine... And damn was I always this ripped? What am i wearing anyways?" he said analyzing his body.
Raval went to a nearby puddle and checked his appearance. "Wait a minute this ain't my face... don't tell me, that poll was real. am i really Isekai'd?"
Raval stared at his reflection in the puddle in silence, as if contemplating something. "Well at least i don't look bad, kinda cool too" he said, accepting his new reality in record time.
'Could've been worse' He took a step forward and... the earth cracked under his immense strength. "Huh? Did i do that?" To confirm his thoughts he took another step and sure enough the earth crumbled once more.
"Holy sh*t! Do i superpowers. Am I Op?, F*ck Yeahhhh!" Raval exclaimed with the joy a teenager discovering magic.
"I've gotta calm down and find a way to control these powers, before i get fined for property damage" He took another step this time trying to match his past self, and it remarkably worked first try.
"Hehe, i'm a genius" He said to no one in particular. Deciding he was bored staying in a dark allyway he decided to explore his new world. He walked for a bit, untill finally exiting the ally and entering the street. And to his dissapointment, everything looked normal. Apart from the mediaeval style buildings and clothes. Everything else looked normal. 'I expected beastmen, elves, orcs but its just humans. Dissapointing.'
Raval walked to the nearest person and asked a question that earned him a look of confusion.
"Hey there, Can i ask where is this place" He asked with a grin.
With furrowed brows, the man asnwered. "Greylow town i guess? Why?"
"No reason, you wouldn't happen to know where I can register as an adventurer? would you?" Raval asked sincerely
"Why its straight ahead, past the fountain. You sure son? you could become a knight, no pronlem with that physique. why go risk your life becoming an adventurer?" The man said
"Thanks and don't worry Mr..."
"Gilbert, Gilbert marques. Hey when you become an adventurer, maybe you could stay at my inn if you don't have anywhere else to go" Gilbert offered
"I will just tell me its name and i'll see soon" Replied Raval
"Its 'the wanderer's pavilion' and you never told me your name kid"
"Noted and its Raval, see you soon Mr.Gilbert" Raval said before running off to where the adventurers Outpost's located.
"See ya Kid," Gilbert said to the retreating figure.
'So there are adventurers, huh. i was just guessing didn't think it was real' Raval though while zooming past the populace at... 45 MPH?
'Damn i'm fast, oh there's the fountain' Raval though to himself
As raval dashed past the fountain he could see a large circular building on the horizon. Seeing his goal he pushed himself, eager to see adventurers. After arriving near the entrance, there lay a thick darkwood door.
He stood there for a moment, before steeling his nerves and curbing his expectations. He pushed open the suprisingly light door, and was met with a warm hush. Pairs of tables on both sides, a few adventurers lounging there. their eyes flicking toward him, measuring and sizing up the newcomer. An orange carpet runnung straight from the entrance to the reception desk, with a clerk who lifted their gaze as if preparing to ask his name. To the left, a sturdy staircase that climbed towards the upper floors. The halls filled with chatter and gossip died down instantly, filling the hall with silence.
Raval felt he was being judged, In truth he was nervous but according to him, "I don't want to look like a sissy". so he forced a calm exterior straightened his posture, relaxed his shoulders and moved with the certainty of someone who never needed to announce himself. His blood red eyes didn't wander, slow and unblinking. Nobody met his gaze for long, it felt being examined by something that already knew your weaknesses.
When Raval reached the counter his eyes fixed on the receptionist.
"I'd like to register as an adventurer" Raval said with an even voice. That rung like thunder to the receptionist, who instinctively straightened.
"Y-yes, why of course" she said
"We just need you to write your name" She said tapping the glowing parchment
Raval didn't blink.
"Raval" he said as a matter of fact.
She stared at him, he didn't move. Not a twitch, not a reach, just the blood red eyes watching her. 'Sh*t, now how will explain to her i can't write their language. Ummm' But he didn't need to.
As nervousness crept up on the receptionist she cleared her throat. "Ah- i can write it for you, if you'd like"
He stared for a moments and gave a single slow nod.
