Zelda: so great hero will you lend us-
Max: no way!
The moment was ruined when max yelled that and Zelda looked genuinely shocked and confused at this.
Max got up and dusted himself off and talked.
Max: I was having a peaceful night until you dragged me here. Get someone else to this who saving hyrule or whatever I have nothing to do with this.
Zelda: b but you were summoned by the will of the goddess hylia and you-
Max cut her off again not caring about this whole thing.
Max: I don't care for your goddess send me back because I have better things to do.
Zelda: even if I try I couldn't because.
Max threw his hands up at the air and he finished for her.
Max: the spell is a one time thing.
Zelda just nodded.
Max just grabbed his face and he groaned loudly and the knights didn't like his attitude towards their princess.
Zelda on the other hand was stunned that the supposed hero from another world who was supposed to wield the sword that seals the darkness and has the soul of a hero but this individual is the complete opposite of the legends.
As for max he crouched on the ground gathering his thoughts.
He couldn't go back to his world and he was stuck here to play hero in a fantasy world.
And ooooh boy he wasn't to say no and have someone else doing it but he already knows that's out of the question.
Max: (sis you still with me?)
He got no response.
Max: (sis?)
Now he was getting worried he got up and he looked at the back of his hand and fortunately a white snanke infinity symbol appeared in his hand.
Zelda noticed what he was doing and she was surprised to see a little girl with snakes features and a thick tail materialize and she stumbled.
Until she puked and black sludge came out of her mouth.
The knights Zelda and max was a little surprised by that but more so the knights and Zelda.
To get introduction out of the way this girl is a spirits and she's my adopted sister and to clarify she calls herself that in reality she's older than me but she calls me her big brother because I found her and introduced her to the family.
Also a small note on spirits when they puke the loose a fracture their power and also spirits blood is black but it's not actually blood it's more like waste energy that looks like blood but vanishes when the spirit that was bleeding dies.
Because spirits eat souls and moline has eaten a lot of lost souls and other rouge souls that attack her.
Max: you okay?
Moline turns and wipes some remaining sludge of her lip.
Moline: that's a stupid question It was like a roller coaster in your head when you got dragged in and if you didn't force me out I would have kept the contents of my stomach inside my body.
Max: well sorry you weren't responding.
Moline: of course I couldn't! I was trying to hold my stomach together.
Max: you don't really have a stomach.
Moline: shut up you know exactly what I mean.
Zelda and the knights just looked at the two not knowing how to approach the two.
Max: so this whole isekai thing. What do you think?
Moline: a waste of time.
Max: heh. Same but we're stuck here so what do I? Do play along? Or.
Moline: yeah play along we don't exactly know where we are.
Max: shit. Looks like I'm about to kill myself a demon or whatever the hell calamity ganon is.
Moline disappeared in white particles and before Zelda could ask max spoke first.
Max: let's make something clear when this whole calamity ganon is dead you're sending me back home. Am I clear?
Zelda: of course that's a promise as the princess of hyrule you have my word.
Max just sighed in reluctance. This was gonna be a troublesome situation.
Max was led by Zelda and the guards to get outside the shrine of summoning.
And the got out a cave that right under a secret entrance that was apparently under the castle.
At least he have to walk all the way to the castle.
They entered a room with knights surrounding the corners along with some muscular woman with red hair.
However what caught his attention were four individuals.
One was could max describe as a sumo looking man with turtle looking shell on his back and his legs were small but his hands were big.
Another was a woman that looks a lot like the female watchers behind them but unlike them she looked more like a queen.
Another was a literal bird.
The last one was simply a fish girl but she actually looked pretty and she has the presence of a princess. Not like Zelda who plays a big role in all of this but a princess non the less.
And in the middle of it all was an old man who had a big white beard and if wasn't obvious he was likely the king and Zelda's daddy.
When they entered the room everyone fell quiet as they watched max who had his hands on his pockets and looked like he rather be anywhere else.
Zelda: would you mine standing in the center?
Max just rolled his wand stood in the center of the triangle with Zelda beside Mipha and urbosa.
Rhoam: welcome great hero from a distance world. We are honored to have you standing in front of us I'm sure that you are aware of the calamity that is in the making. And I'm sure my daughter told you a small part but now that you are here allow me to give you the details.
Ten thousand years ago there was a legend of a great evil named calamity ganon it's an evil beast that rises every ten thousand years and to combat this great evil a princess with the blood of the goddess and a warrior from another world welding the soul of a hero and the sword that seals the darkness to seal the evil beast away.
However during a long past century the sheikah created mechanical marvels and towers to notify when the calamity came and four mechanical beast known as the divine beasts who were piloted by four champions.
A rito,a zora,a Garuda and a goron.
These four champions along with their individual divine beasts supported the princess and warrior to seal ganon.
Once the beast was put to rest for another ten thousand years the king before me banished the shiekah along with the divine beast in fear of being overthrown.
Now in our current time we rediscovered the divine beast and the guardians and we are in the starting stages to prepare for calamity ganon to return.
And the we needed an important figure and that is the legendary hero of another world that has the soul of a hero.
With the story coming to an end rhoam opened his eyes and continued.
Rhoam: I told my daughter Zelda to go on the shrine under the castle to summon you and now here you are. Will you help us in defeating ganon?
Max was quite for a moment and everyone was in suspense and family max spoke.
Max: I'm making this clear. I'm not a hero nor a savior. And honestly this whole ganon thing has nothing to do with me. I don't care if I'm some hero of myth or whatever and I want to say no.
Everyone was stunned at the hero's words they expected hesitation but not outright refusal and Zelda was worried about her father's reaction.
Rhoam wasn't offended by his words if anything this was curious.
Because from the ancient history the hero was a righteous warrior who laid his life for others but this current hero felt different while the heroes before them agreed with no hesitation this one looked more experienced but he wasn't sure.
Rhoam: boy what's your name?
Max: max McKnight.
Rhoam: I see max I can tell that you said that you want to say no that means that you are willing to help the kingdom of hyrule?
Max looked up and sighed in reluctant.
Max: let me ask you something if you were separated from your own home world and was forced to save a doomed one what would you do?
That question gave everyone pause because that thought never crossed their minds.
Rhoam understood what he meant and him in understanding.
Rhoam: I see so you want to go back to your own world.
Max: exactly.
Rhoam: very well I promise that once we eliminate ganon we will send you back.
Max: you better keep your promise old man.
Rhoam just nodded and decided to get back to things max has to do get strong enough to combat ganon.
Rhoam: now then I shall explain a few things about your role in the upcoming battle. You must train in weapons and the sword that seals the darkness. Each of the champions will guide you in those tasks.
Revali of the rito is the champion who pilots the divine beast vah medoh and a skilled archer.
Mipha of the zora the champion who pilots the divine beast Vah ruta and one the most skilled warriors in spear combat.
Daruk of the gorons the champion who the champion who pilots the divine beast vah rudania.
And finally urbosa of the gerudo the champion who pilots the divine beast vah naboris.
Max looked at each of the champions and he can feel pride coming out of them.
Rhoam: each of these champions will teach you the ways in their weapons and so can get used to hyrule.
Max: so each these guys are gonna teach me huh? (Not that I need it since I trained every chance I get and plus I don't need a bow and arrow but I didn't get my special rounds for my revolver so I'll have do think of replacement here)
Rhoam: yes but the most crucial task is the sword that seals the darkness. That is the most important tool above everything.
Max: fine. I'll help your kingdom but you better keep your word.
Rhoam nodded and everyone started to cheer and max heard fireworks from outside the windows and walls.
During a buffet Zelda sat next to max who was eating his own food.
Zelda: I was worried that you would reject to help us.
Max: oh sweetheart I would it's just I'm stuck here so I might well play along.
Zelda frown at this she heard that the past heroes were righteous but max so far isn't giving her hope but a feeling of failure.
She looked at the hand that had the triforce symbol and she thought that she made a mistake.
However she noticed max holding something in his hand and she saw something that looked like a sheikah slate but more advanced.
Zelda was gawking at the piece of technology while max was looking if his phone was okay.
Thankfully EXO made custom phone specially for exorcist to communicate.
Because on rare occasions spirits will develop a territory that is like a small pocket dimension created by a ruler and it cuts off any normal devices and thanks to special materials these phones have a connection to spiritual auras.
So max's phone is on him 24/7 so max has almost an unlimited amount connection.
And it looks like even in another world it works.
He was looking for any notification on his phone but some far nothing and that worried him.
However once again Zelda got too close and max noticed didn't notice until now.
Max: what the hell is with you and getting all up in my face?
Zelda: I'm sorry but is that a shiekah slate?
Max: shiekah what? No this is my phone.
Zelda: phone? So your world has shiekah slates called phones?
Max: um sure.
Meanwhile at another table the four champions specifically revali was looking at max with disapproval.
Revali: there no way a this creatine is actually the hero of legend.
Urbosa: honestly I can kinda see why but the boy makes a good point how would you like it if you got dragged out of your own world?
Revali: that's irrelevant what matters is that we defeat ganon and this boy doesn't look like he's taking it seriously.
Daruk: well he never met ganon. Actually non of us did we just heard legends so it's only natural he doesn't take it seriously.
Revali: of course you come in to defend him.
Mipha: Daruk Is right though we don't that much about ganon or his capabilities.
Revali: all of you are worried over nothing. Calamity ganon is a beast plane and simple and with our divine beast we won't lose it.
Urbosa: one of these day Revali that arrogance is gonna be your undoing.
Revali: whatever you say chief. Now if you excuse I got some food to put on my pallet.
With that he walked up to a table to grab some food and be alone.
Daruk: geez the guy could use a bit of humiliation.
Urbosa: honestly that arrogance of his is his own weakness. A warrior must stay humble even against your enemies.
The three then looked at max and Zelda who were talking but it's obvious that Zelda was trying to make conversation with max who was just listening.
Urbosa: well if I'm being honest this boy has the aura of something else.
Daruk:you too huh? Yeah I feel like he's powerful more than we think.
Mipha: the legends said that the warrior that was summoned was inexperienced in combat and was trained by past champions but he looks well trained even though he hasn't shown any.
Urbosa: I just hope that he is on our side and helps us destroy ganon.
I meant what I said I'm not a hero nor a savior nor I care about being one. But reluctantly I have no choice but be one but my own way
