Ordinary teens, Five and Roxy, were on their way to school when a purple magic circle with a darker shade of purple as the outline appeared from under them. “What’s happening?” shouted Roxy as the ground began to shake.

“It’s a magic circle!” Five shouted.

“Five! Help me!” Roxy shouted as her body began to disappear, pixel by pixel. Five’s jaw fell open as he watched Roxy’s body completely disappear. Five then looked down at his body and watched in sheer terror as his body began the same process. Within a minute, both teenagers disappeared with their screams being muffled. The memories of them disappeared from everybody’s mind. They were soon forgotten as if they never existed.

The teenagers were teleported to a new world, surrounded by elves. “Who are you?” Roxy blurted out, directed to the elves surrounding them. Roxy looked to her side and noticed Five. “Five, where are we?”

“Huh?” Five muttered, his head couldn’t stop spinning. He looked up at the elves and noticed their qualities---long and pointy ears, bow wielders, and pale skin. “Elves?” He said out loud.

“What are elves?”

“There is a fantasy race that lives in the forest and is known to be wary of humans and can talk to the spirits of the forest.” Five explained.

“How do you know about our ability to speak to spirits?” One of the elves, a very muscular and tall elf, asked him. He had blond hair and dark blue eyes, a bow attached to his back.

“We’re from a different world.” Five told them.

“Wait, what is going on?” Roxy asked, still confused.

“A different w-world?” The elf asked.

“It’s true, Father. I saw them appear out of nowhere.” A younger elf declared. The younger elf looked to be around Five and Roxy’s age and had the same features as her father.

“Lexiss?” He calmly stated. “Are you sure about that?”

“Yes, they must be from a different world. Look at their clothing! I’ve never seen that type of human clothes before. Also, the barrier doesn’t allow any humans in without our permission.” Lexiss declared.

“She’s right,” said another elf.

“Fine, then take them to the chief’s house.” The first elf declared. Two elves wielding spears nodded before grabbing the teenagers and dragged them towards the village chief’s house. Once there, the two teenagers met the chief of the village, Elas. Elas looks similar to the first elf and Lexiss, but he looked, considerably, worn out and older than the others. Elas used a cane to walk and his back curled, slightly.

“These two are from a different world?” Elas asked.

“Yes, village chief.” The first elf answered.

“Menzo, these two have not been deemed as intruders?”

“That is correct,” Menzo, the first elf, responded.   

“Then, we should allow them to stay here, for now.” Elas declared.

“Village chief! Allowing humans to stay in elven territory? That is absurd!” Menzo shouted, clenching his fists.

“These two have immeasurable power within them. They will be important in the war against the Rockshin tribe. Our force isn’t strong enough to defend our territory.”

“But-” Menzo started.

Elas picked up his cane and slammed it down on the floor. “We are being picked off one by one!” He shouted. “Tomorrow, we’ll begin their training.”

Menzo looked down at the floor before kneeling. “If that’s your order, village chief,” Menzo stated. He then stood up and departed the house, spreading the news of Elas’ decision.

“Well, I’ll see to it that you’ll enjoy your time,” Elas told the teenagers.

“Five, what is going on?” Roxy whispered.

“Well, apparently, we were just accepted by the village chief. Oh, and we have some type of power within us. Tomorrow, we’ll be beginning training for our powers to defeat some enemy tribe or something.” Five told her.

“So, we’ll be treated as weapons more than people?” Roxy asked.

“That may be true.” He whispered back. He then looked up at Elas, who watched them as they had their conversation. “Village chief, will we be used as weapons?”

“Call me Elas. As for your use in this village, you won’t be restricted as weapons. Your power is necessary to defend our territory, but after that, you will be given the freedom to leave the village and explore the human territory. Think about your training as a way to get stronger.”

“As long as we are allowed to leave after destroying your enemy,” Roxy told Elas.

“You will. Now… are you ready?”

“Well, school life was boring, so I’m ready.” Five said.

“Ugh, fine. I can’t let Five do it by himself.” Roxy said. Now the two teenagers were taken in within the village of elves. They’ve become adoptive human-elves.

Baron left his room and headed downstairs, passing the inn’s receptionist on his way out. He stood in the front of the inn, basking in the sunlight. “What a sunny day. I can’t believe I would ever see another sunny day during my rotation.” Baron muttered before walking down the main road that the inn was connected to, finding a nearby food stall. He scanned the stall’s inventory and picked an apple from one of the woven baskets. He then handed the clerk money for the apple. The clerk accepted it and nodded towards him. Baron nodded his head before walking off and continuing down the road, reaching the adventurers guild at the end of the road. He walked in and went to the receptionist’s desk, checking in under the name of Gage. The receptionist, named Chloe, didn’t flinch at Baron’s appearance. Unlike many others, she understood his situation and didn’t bat an eye to his appearance being changed daily.

“I have a quest I need you to fulfill. A hitman has been terrorizing people for the past month. His last whereabouts were in the slums.” Chloe told him.

“Thanks, I’ll be back,” Baron said before walking out of the guild. Once outside, one of his skills, known as ‘Detection’, went off, alerting Baron to a malicious person. Baron took a throwing knife from his pocket and looked over to a roof on his right. He threw the throwing knife towards the roof, hitting the individual with the malicious intent. “Assassin,” Baron whispered before scoffing. He then scanned the area for curious eyes before sneaking behind the building, climbing the gutter to reach the roof. Once on the roof, he checked the body of the assassin. The assassin was a younger man with curly dark brown hair and with a clean-shaven face. He wore a black cloak with weapons hiding within it. He wielded an invention similar to a sniper that used bullets made out of magic. He grabbed the body and the sniper before activating another skill, known as ‘Invisibility’, and jumping off the roof. He landed on the street and moved towards the main entrance. He walked past the guards and a blonde girl. Baron took a peek at the girl and noticed that it was Ashlie. He avoided her and entered the nearby forest. He dropped the body in the forest and dug it into a shallow grave. After that, Baron investigated a nearby dungeon that was rumored to be full of demons. Baron took a sword from his backpack and headed into the dungeon.

“Let’s see if my swordsman skills are stronger than your blade, Gage,” Baron whispered as he found a lower demon. “Or your scythe, Blade.”

Ex scanned the nearby area and found a village near him. He walked closer to the village, noticing a standoff between the villagers and a pack of wolves. The villagers, who wielded farming equipment like weapons, were being pushed back by the wolves’ growls and snarls. A couple of the villagers, covered in wounds, were being carried off by other villagers. Ex picked up the pace, heading towards the standoff. “Get out of here!” He shouted at the wolves. He told me that I had a fire skill, Ex thought as he stood in front of the villagers. “Creation: Fire!” He shouted, igniting a wall of fire in front of him. The wolves took a couple of steps backward before retreating, seeing the wall of fire as an immediate threat. The villagers cheered as they watched the wolves flee with their tails between their legs. The mayor, a man with a store stature wearing tattered rags, thanked Ex for his aid and invited him over to the village’s center. Ex nodded, nearly following him, but decided to stop when he noticed a wolf pup lying in its own blood. Ex rushed to the pup’s side, detecting that it was seriously wounded during the skirmish with the adult wolves. “Can anyone save this pup?”

None of the villagers responded, avoiding eye contact with Ex. Ex picked up on their strange behavior, repeating his words in a louder and demanding tone. “Johnson can save it… but why should he risk supplies for a monster?” The mayor asked.

“A monster or not… it’s still a living being!” Ex argued.

“A living being that nearly killed us!” The mayor argued back.

“It’s a pup! What damage could it cause you?” He shouted. The mayor opened his mouth, but couldn’t find his words.

“Fine!” He said before turning around. “Get Jackson! Let him take a look over the pup! Ignore the humans that are wounded.” Ex stayed by the pup’s side as he waited for Jackson to arrive. In his mind, he cursed out the mayor for his rude remarks and behavior towards the pup that looked to be a few weeks old. Jackson then arrived to treat the pup’s wounds, leaving with a dirty glare. The villagers rushed around, spreading the news of Ex’s deeds, igniting people to begin hating on their savior for saving a monster. This allowed people to openly badmouth both Ex and his pup. Ex didn’t care about their opinions, instead, pleased to find out that the pup
