Summoning Arc: Fishing
Silence... Peace... Quiet. I can finally relax.
This has been such a long day... Summoned by mistake to another world, trapped here without the possibility to return... It’s... Annoying!
A soft breeze passes near my ears, bringing with it the song of a lonely bird. Orange leafs are carried by the wind in the distance like big orange snowflakes. From what I can tell, it is most likely autumn in this world, although it was spring in mine when I left.
Here and there some fluffy clouds can be seen in the sky drifting away without aim or reason. The sun is high at noon and it is actually pretty hot, especially in this period of the year.
I stay on a small chair made out of wood. In front of me is a 200 or so meters wide pond with crystal clear water. I’ve been fishing for a while now, but there seems to be no living thing in this place. Still, that is not a problem. Fishing is not about catching fish, is about relaxing.
‘Now that I’ve calmed down a little bit, assessing the situation should be the next thing online. ’ [Andel]
First, let’s talk about my former world’s situation. The king said that I can’t return, but there must be a way. If I were to really look into it, I am sure that this problem could be solved. But then, why? There is nothing to do in that world anymore.
A system has already been established, peace is pretty much guaranteed and the world crystal seems to be still linked to my former planet.
A world crystal is something I created a long time ago that allows me to see the average number of deaths / year. If the number of people that went to underworld during a year’s worth of time exceeds 10% of the world’s total population, the crystal will turn blood red. At that point, I know that a crisis appeared and going back becomes my main priority. Until that time comes, I can enjoy this new world as much as I want.

Now, let’s focus a little bit on my own situation. The only things that I managed to bring with me are the items in my soul storage. It is a space of only a little over 500 cubic meters, where I hold my most important belongings. Unfortunately, that raises another problem. Considering that I can’t just sell those items, I am broke. No money whatsoever, no food, no blood reserve, nothing. At least I have my fishing road!
That is truly a problem, but I should be able to deal with it in the end...
Now my seals... They seem to work properly without any flaw. These seals are something that I had to place on myself after my vampire and demonic sides fused together.
At that moment, my power became so huge that I couldn’t completely control it. In this situation, a single wrong move could end with the destruction of a small town, a little moment of anger could give birth to a flame tornado while a single breath could kill a normal soldier.
Of course, the main reason was the fact that, without those seals, a hot night with a beautiful miss in the red district was completely and utterly impossible.
In this condition, I had to create 13 seals to suppress that insane amount of energy. It worked pretty well so after that was out of the way, I managed to move on with my normal life.
Now, what should I do... This dimensional plane is huge, so I am sure there are many fun things to do and a lot of strong individuals that can entertain me.
Away from these, there is still one more peculiar thing that I observed today. So far I’ve been in contact with three different worlds: my own, this one and the one where those 12 kids came from Earth.
At first glance, there are not many things in common between those three, but, if you pay close attention, there is something that stands out. The Japanese influence.
Japan is a mythical dimensional plane from legends that, in my former world, meddled with our history permanently changing today’s civilization. That was possible due to a certain inventor from this amazing world called Japan, which introduced us to Television, Internet, reality shows, Web Novels and so on.

There are not many that know about him as he was a very intelligent but secretive person. Still, I had the honor to have a proper conversation with him, once. He was brilliant.
Now, although I am not 100% certain, from the looks of it, those other two worlds have also been influenced by Japan. The way of talking, the constructions in this world, the clothes those kids were wearing, everything seems to have been influenced by the Japanese culture.
Amazing!

While thinking about this kind of stuff, I can feel some presences approaching from my back. Concentrating on the elemental flow it is not hard to realize that those coming are King-San with the Elven Queen in front, followed by the twelve children of Earth and some guards.
Well, I’ve calmed down now, so I don’t mind if they join me. Unfortunately, I brought only a single fishing rod with me...
‘Rumble...’
A strange sound could be heard coming from the pond. I spread my sense a little bit inside the waters and a big mass seems to be coming up from within.
‘God damn it... I can’t even relax for a second without something annoying happening... ’. I frown a little and rose to my feet, preparing to deal with whatever comes out. I am really not in the mood for some odd monsters from a different world...
I can feel King-son and the others stopping in their tracks as well, watching as the middle of the pond start swelling up.
After 10 breaths worth of time, finally, something emerges.
‘Hyaaa....’
“Whatever, come faster... I don’t have time to waste on..... ?!?!?!??? EHHHHHH?” [Andel]
Without even thinking I utter a scream of surprise when the creature shows itself.
It looks to be over 20 meters high and 50 meters long, with a big bulky body. On its head, there are 12 black eyes that are moving in all directions. It looks to be covered in some sort of scale like a fish, but it does not have a tail. Instead, it has 8 long feet with claws at their ends. Its body is brown, with short hair covering it. Hairy scales... What the hell??? Furthermore, on top of his back, 12 swirling tentacles can be seen whipping the air randomly.
To put it bluntly, it looks like a huge freaking spider, with fish scales and tentacles on top of his back...
“Nope... nope nope nope!!!” [Andel]
From the king’s group, I can hear a sudden scream. It looks to be the king.
“Andel!!!! RUN!!! That is a Spider Fish. If you don’t run, you will be eaten!” [King Abdel]
Spider fish... I see... So, something like this actually exists in this world... Kin– San, you are truly an intelligent ruler, that is why, this time, I will take your advice and.... RUN!!!!
Without even thinking anymore, I put the fishing rod in my soul storage, turn in the opposite direction of the one where the king and his group are, and run with all my might.
‘Hyaaaa... ‘
A sudden piercing scream can be heard from my back. Turning my head, I can see the huge spider fish running after me. Despite its huge frame, it’s extremely agile.
I try to use some sharp turns and trees to get some distance between us, but things don't work as planned. In this condition, there is only one choice!
“GOD DAMN IT! I’LL DO IT!” [Andel]
