《Red Overpowered》The invocation
Advertisement
The light was slowly fading as I slowly came to my senses. I looked around and was now in a large room. It was resplendent, a beautiful white color, the walls covered with beautiful black and gold tapestries. Then I finally noticed that people were watching us.
Among them, the one who stood out the most and imposed himself by his presence was a man with a white beard, sitting on what seemed to me to be a throne. The person to his right began to speak in a loud voice.
"The invocation was a success my king." (???)
"Well done Moses." He said smiling.
He finally turned to us, watching us for a few brief seconds.
"Welcome to you heroes from another world. You must no doubt be troubled by the events. Let me introduce myself, I am the King of the Kingdom of Sigma. If we have summoned you, it is because we need your help."
"This is serious right now, we've been summoned to another world!" Said a baffled young man.
"I want to go home." Complained another.
"Unfortunately we cannot send you home. It is impossible for us to send back invoked people." (King)
Anger seized me and I could not accept such a situation. This asshole was telling us that he knew very well that he couldn't send us home. And yet he did, he played with our lives as he saw fit.
"Hey, tell me, are you fucking with us?" (Logan)
"How dare you talk to the King like that!" (Moses)
The guards who were in the room immediately pointed their guns at us.
"Logan shut up!" (???)
"Shut up Shawn this asshole dared to play with our lives and you tell me to shut up." (Logan)
"If you're not happy I can still kick your ass." (Shawn)
"You've been martyring me for three years, but I can't remember the moment I looked down at you." (Logan)
"Your bitch sister did it right when she sucked my dick." (Shawn)

"I'm gonna kill you!" (Logan)
"Don't make me laugh, orphan." He says in a mocking tone.
Suddenly, a pressure crushed us ending our conflict. Everyone in the room felt the effects, causing some to crash to the floor.
"I beg you to listen to me." Said the king in a firm tone.
I then looked the bastard straight in the eye and the pressure increased in return. While the king's gaze became more severe.
"My patience has limits young man." (King)
Blood began to pour from my nose and I had to lower my head to keep from passing out.
"Well, are you now ready to listen?" (King)
Everyone looked at me with contempt, their looks just telling me to stop causing them trouble. Then the king started talking again:
"Some time ago, dungeons began to appear in our vast lands. The appearance of these dungeons has unfortunately stimulated the activity of all monsters. We need you to complete these dungeons and eradicate the monsters because they are endangering our kingdom. Tragically, we have even lost one of our lands to a massive monster onslaught. And before we could exterminate all the monsters, we lost an astronomical number of soldiers. Many of our people were killed and eaten. That is the reason you have been summoned here today, we need you." (King)
"And how are we supposed to fight these monsters?" Asked a young brunette girl named Emma.
"Those summoned from another world are given many exceptional abilities. As well as professions and titles." (King)
"And what are they?" Shawn asked with interest.
"First of all, say status, it should appear before you." (King)
With such a simple explanation, everyone's voices echoed at the same time. Everyone was willing to play along except me. Then a crystal ball was brought to us by the man named Moses.
"Please take turns putting your hand on it so we can see it too." (Moses)
Shawn stepped forward with a confident smile on his face. He put his hand down and then a card appeared projected from the ball. There was information on this card and everyone in the room exclaimed.

"Woah the paladin has higher stats."(Emma)
"Yeah, but he clearly has less skills right?" (Meverick)
There were 20 of us in the class, people continued to show their status. With a festival of various professions like: Witch, Fighter, Shaper, Knight, Dragon Rider, Barbarian, Priest, Magic Swordsman, Healer.
Then before my turn came I checked my status.
"What, what does that mean?" I said as I looked at my status." (Logan)
As I was caught in my surprise and reflection the king's voice rang out.
"It's yours." (King)
I was brought out of my thoughts as everyone looked at me. Most had all obtained very good professions as well as abilities. And I finally placed my hand on the ball.

Laughter began to rise in the room. The only person who looked at me and cared was Maïli.
"Ahh, ahh even here you are still a loser." (Shawn)
"Leave him alone Shawn!" (Maïli)
"Still, you have to admit, it's not glorious." (Meverick)
The king finally began to speak again:
"All of you who have been called will be taken care of by the kingdom. You will be trained, housed and paid handsomely. You will represent the new strength of our kingdom." (King)
"Where is the exit?" (Logan)
Everyone turned to me.
"It is true that considering your status you will not be able to help us in any way. In other words, you are useless." (King)
The king snapped his fingers and a guard walked towards me with a bag in his hand.
"Here is compensation for the inconvenience caused." (King)
The bag of coins flew out and then the sound of coins falling to the floor rang out.
"I don't want your money! Just take me back to the exit." (Logan)
"You! You're disrespecting the king again!" (Moses)
"Let, guards escort him out as he requests." (King)
As I was being escorted out, I spoke up one last time.
"I will destroy you all one by one!" (Logan)
"I'd like to see how." (Shawn)
"You should have taken that money." (Meverick)
"That's real ungrateful." Says another young girl named Malika.
"Don't come crying back to us for help." (Emma)
Logan was led towards the exit, while the king stood frozen for a moment.
"My king? My king?" (Moses)
"Didn't that boy just now his eyes turn red?" (King)

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Small Pond
In a world without systems, levels, or any standard power levels, Faust is a naturally skeptical person who always asks questions first and accepts after he gets confirmation. A lot of it. With some information unknown to the reader, represented as [?], Faust is left to discover who kidnapped him, where he is, if magic exists, and what to do while the reader silently observes him. And as for the YOU dear reader, I'll need your help choosing some things... Small Pond isn't meant to be a high-paced action light novel, but instead, there's a greater focus on world and character building in order to create a greater narrative. Expect the unexpected in this story ;) The release schedule will be paused, for now, I'm going to try and spend some time rethinking the intro and work on school.
