The young king sat happily on his throne stroking a silver blade with repeating movements. "It's about time I granted this beautiful tool a hero" thought the king

Calling over the nearest guard the king commanded the famous hero summoning ceremony be prepared.

The king was named Johnathan Kin, also known as King Kin. Which in all due honesty has an oddly appealing ring to it when said aloud

King Kin impatiently tapped the throne waiting for his new heroes to arrive at his feet. "What's taking so god damn long, if this takes any longer I will have the summoners flogged for their lack of ability" he thought angrily. King Kin was clearly aware of the time It took to complete the ceremony, he was just a prick

Soon a group of three appeared before his feet, looking up at King Kin in awe and fear which the king enjoyed immensely.

"State your names" Kin said coldly

"James" "Kaitlyn" Catharine" Said the nervous trio

"What the fuck!? Since when did hero summoning's target anything but "Japan" or whatever it's called! Not that I'm against it, but it's still odd..." The king thought quietly

"And your family names?" Kin continued

"Smith" Said the Trio in unison

"Aaand it's a fucking family, what else did I need!?" Kin thought crudely

"I have a task for you three, I need heroes to help preserve humanity's safety. As humans yourselves you can understand how much we care about the lives of our people. Because of this war we need heroes for our moral, you three are those hero's" The King said with pained sadness

"This is the best speech I have I swear to god if I lose another set of heroes..." Kin stopped that thought to prevent himself from jinxing it

The trio look at each other with doubt, but the eldest brother named James finally spoke up "Uh King we would like to help humanity but we are just normal teenagers"

"Do not fret, the summoning ritual helped boost your constitutions and mana affinities. You three are more than capable of being heroes for this beautiful country of ours." Kin hurriedly said

"James was it? I will award you with humanity's holy treasure once you have completed your training, since you were the first to speak up. Now go and train, make friends with the solders. Come see me after your training is done" Kin continued

"Ok!" The trio said excitedly

"Got them" Kin thought as he smiled cruelly in his mind

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The transactions between these four was clearly seen by an outsider. This outsider was obviously Ian, who was currently watching with a light interest over their oblivious heads. Ian did not need a mortal form to survive, in fact he could create one whenever he pleased. But staying in an energy form was creating a loose energy fluctuation that might soon alert the local gods by chance

So, Ian floated out of the castle to seek a mortal body to possess since making one would create a scene. "What to choose" he pondered as he wandered the town looking for something to possess.

"I want to be near the castle and partake in battles to watch the heroes develop so a guard or soldier would be the best choice" Ian thought. Returning to the castle Ian floated to the training yard, as the court yard came into view Ian witnessed a particularly odd scene below him

"They are in love with their brother" He thought with a disgusted gaze. The siblings were of course not actually doing anything immoral. Just staring a little TOO lovingly at the oblivious brother.

"Poor bastard, he has a lot coming for him" Ian thought with forced pity, in reality he was excited to see the changes that will occur because of this "relationship" between the siblings. Now he wasn’t talking about being into incest, but the consequences of their excessive love for their brother

"Ah, I should find a body now. I spent to long thinking on the future" He thought looking around the yard he found his target. A young soldier in the corner of the yard picking up wood blocks for the heroes to train on. "Well I guess I'm going with this guy" Ian thought as he approached the soldier.

Over the period of a few weeks, Ian was slowly working the soul of the soldier out of the body and taking said body as his own. He did this gradually as to allow more comfort when he made the body his own.

After a few more days of possessing Ian finally took complete control of the body. Opening his eyes Ian looked at his environment with his new mortal form.

"Mold, stone, wood, cockroach..." Ian listed off what he saw in the cold damp bedroom. "Wow I never thought they could allow such a decrepit room in the imperial castle" he thought with mild amusement

*BANG* a sudden angry knock torments the poor damp door

"Oi Jackson, get the fuck out and help with the heroes training!" A voice called out the door

Ian was startled at both the shouting and being startled itself. He then and realized something that bothered him more than slightly "God damn it this body seals my divine sense, this is going to make getting around more than annoying now" Ian thought gloomily

Opening the door, a scruffy buffed middle-aged man loomed over the doorway looking down at Ian.

"Jackson get the field" That was the last thing he said before wandering off to who knows where

Following the map in his mind Ian approached the field, listening to the awkward battle cries that made him cringe. As he walked through the entrance to the field he witnesses James the eldest swinging a one-handed sword at a chunk of wood in a mediocre manner

"I probably should talk James and see how his personality is" Ian thought as he approached the armed teenager

"Oi do you need a new training dummy" Ian asked bluntly

"No thank you, this one still has a few hits left" James replied in a surprisingly polite manner

"He has an amiable personality, respectable at least" Ian deduced

Moving his sight to the sisters, he greeted them politely while they were practicing magic

"Hello do you need a new trai..." Ian started

"Screw off" They said in unison

Ian blanked and then thought suddenly "The hell is with this kind brother, cold sister cliché?"

"Ok, I will leave the two heroes to their training" Ian bowed and walked away

After about 30 minutes of training a guard entered the training yard and announced loudly

"Could the heroes and soldiers please enter the throne room for the hero's official ceremony!" He announced in an obviously prideful manner

Within 10 minutes the throne room was filled with people as guards, soldiers, and nobles surrounded the grand throne and heroes.

As the ceremony continued King Kin withdrew the sliver blade from its new sheathe and asked the hero James to draw blood and place it upon the blade.

Ian smiled happily when he witnessed this scene, for he knew the blades true origin. It was a sin blade he found in an evil sect back in his own reality. Without martial power the blade cannot use even a fraction of its potential but with just the evil energy within, it is still an artifact of great power in this world.

"I am excited to see his destiny with this blade, and his mental changes in the future" Ian thought with a cruel glee.
