"What's going on?"
Roy locking around and everything stop moving as Arondight appear
time seems to be stop for roy
Then there's a voice speaking in his head
"O brave one, accept my name Lancelot for the power to protect your love one"
"Who are you!?" Roy looks around but see nothing
No response
"What all meaning of this?"
I'm so confused, there's too much happening
But one thing certain
"If I accept this, I will have power to protect her right?"
Roy grab the Arondight with no hesitation
The time go back to normal
With the Arondight, he killed the skeletons with ease
"Unbilevable! Did this bastard just got chosen for inherent just now!" The mage slowly back away in disbelieve
"It's can't be, is that Arondight?" She make a face like she see a death person
The mage shoot fire ball at Roy, but Roy easily block it, he suddenly became much better at fighting
What is this, why did I feel like a sword expert?
Roy clearing his way the the mage easily while blocking the mage attack
"Die die die!" The mage keep shooting fire at him
"Eat this!" He lunge Arondight at the mage
But someone grabbed his sword before the sword landed at the mage
"Excuse me, It's took me a lot of my mana to create this one"
"You're..."
It's the lady from the convince store back then
"It's nice to meet you again convenience boy" she greet him with a smile as a blood leaking from his hand
"Are you coming back to pay for that cigarettes ma'am?"
"Hahaha that's what you're talking in this situation? You're funny I like that"
"Why? Why do you want to killed her?"
"Why? Hmmmm how do I explain this, since you're new to everything"
"Hey you! You can't defeat her, plese just run away!" The emerald hair girl said that while she starts to cry
"Weel I guess I don't have to, since your reinforcement are here anyway" she turn her head where two people running towards them"
"Sophia! We're here!" A blown hair girl shoot a fire at the black hair lady, but skeleton block it for her
So her name is Sophia huh...?
"Whoah! It's Amanda! No wonder why we lose contract with Sophia, should we called Aiden? And who's that guy anyway, wait... is that sword...." and there's this blue hair guy running beside her
"Shut up Kai it's time for a fight!" She doesn't pay attention to what the other guy talking and just jump in the fight
Suddenly there's more skeleton spawn blocking thier path
"Fire girl and water boy are here, then this is a good bye for this time Convenience bot, my name is Amanda Rossi, please remember that" and then the place is suddenly cover in smoke and Amanda is gone with the Skeleton mage, but a ton of skeleton is still here
"Wait! Came back and pay for the cigarettes!"
With his sword no longer grabbed he continues to killed the skeleton
One skeletons managed to sneak behind him, but the blown hair girl burn it down
"Thank- huh?"
"Die die die!" She doesn't even look at Roy
"Sorry, Emma is like this when she fight, she doesn't look at her surroundings at all, so you have to be careful about her attack too" the blue hair guy walk up beside him "Oh, I'm Kai by the way, and that's Emma, what's your name?"
Why is this guy so carefree in this situation?
"I'm Roy, can you explain to me what going on?" Roy talks while attacking the skeletons at the same time
"After we're finish with these skeletons, I'll ask our captain to explain it to you"
Is he some kind of support? Why is he not doing anything?
Then there's a fire from Emma flying towards Roy
Sh*t I can't dodge that!
Kai summoned a spear and use it to block the fire along with his water magic
"It's take a little bit of time to be used to Emma way of fighting, so why don't you go look after Sophia? she use a lot of power to buff you, I'll protect you two from Emma"
"O-oh okay" Roy rushed at Sophia
She use her power to buff me all this time?
"Sophia are you okay?" Roy holding Sophia in his arms
"Your.."
"Mine?"
"Your name..."
Oh right I never told her
"I'm Roy"
"I'm okay Roy" then Sophia falls asleep while smiling
She's so pretty
...
In some abandoned buildings
"Sorry master!, that I couldn't killed those annoying bastard!" The skeleton mage kneel
"Don't worry, it's not your fault, it's because that Convenience boy wasn't in my plan, and we still didn't failed did we?"
"Yes master, master never failed"
"Shut up, now you're just lying"
"..."
"Hmmm.... a week from now, a monster will start appear in that town, what should be my next move"
"Master looking at those four aren't you're able to beat them easily?"
"I said Shut up!"
"..."
"Hmmm... he's just inherent Lancelot name huh? Wait a minute...."
Then her smile became more sinister
"I know what to do now"
...
Back at Roy side they're already clear the all skeletons
"Huh? Kai who's that? Why is he holding Sophia?" Emma finally notice Roy
"He said his name is Roy, and somehow he inherent Lancelot name"
"Huh!!!??? What are the chances?"
What the deal with Lancelot?
"So can you guys explain what happened now?"
"Yeah, I'll take you to captain now" Kai pulled out a mirror then said bloody mary three times "four person please"
Then they're suddenly teleport to a room that full of mirror
Then there's messy black hair girl with hair cover her face came to greet them
"Welcome back everyone, and who's that? Wait is that sword a-"
"Mary, gather everyone at control room immediately, this is big"
"Got it!"
Mary go get everyone while the rest walking to control room
"Hey Kai where are we?"
"Captain will tell you everything"
"..."
"Unease because the lack of explanation? If you dont want to continue then you can go back if you want"
"No, it's okay"
"Kai is it okay to let this stranger holding on Sophia?" Emma look annoyed
Oh right, I'm just a stranger to them
"He's a stranger that protect Sophia and inherent Lancelot name, I don't see why not"
"Wel I guess so"
They're arrived at the control room
And there's goth guy in ship captain out fit just sleeping there
"Captain wake up, something big coming up!"
That's the captain?
"Huh....? Oh Kai Emma welcome back, and who's this guy holding Sophia, wait is that Arondight?" He's up instantly
"My name is Roy, can you explain to me what happened?"
"Well, before I explain, please tell me what happened first, so I know how much you know already"
Then Roy proceed to tell everything that happened in previous days
"So, nothing huh?" Captain scratches his head
"Yeah seems like it"
"well, let's start with the fact that you have been chosen by the world tree first"
"Chosen by the world tree? World tree like in those fantasy fiction"
"Yeah, so basically if you have these scar, you'll be able to use magic and stuff like that, we all here have the scar somewhere and inheritor is the term we called ourselves"
"Why inheritor though?"
"Because you can inherent the name of the historical individual in the past, like how you've inherent Lancelot name, and of course you get thier power too, however there's a price for it"
"A price?" Gulps
"Let's talk about that when more other came, so there's more examples"
What my price to pay!?
"So about us next, we're Earth Wacthcer just one of many group inheritor, our goal it's too protect the world tree"
"Protect the world tree?"
"Yeah the world tree are the source of every energy after all, and there's many things wanting a little taste of it, and the world tree's root can appear at the surface sometimes and monster or even some of inheritor will want it"
Roy started to piece things together
"So that lady name Amanda want the world tree root and you guys are in her way huh?"
"Yeah exactly, and of course your town is where the root appear this time"
"And that why phone doesn't work too?"
"Yeah, the world tree intense power interfere with the signal"
"I see"
Then Mary came back with two guys
Is that mechanical leg?
"Oh right, that's everyone, still not used to seeing only a few people" captain speak in sad tone
"Don't be sad Kaoru, we about to get one more person anyway right?" A pink hair guy with a long pony tail speak while waking in
Kaoru? He's Japanese? And they're already assuming that I'm joining them?
"That is really Arondight, seems like he's really joining us" a white hair guy with short pony tail and tanned skin walking beside him and his left leg seemed to be mechanical
"Since we all here, let introduce ourselves to the newcomer, I'm Tsukuyomi Kaoru the captain of Earth Watcher"
"And those two are unit one the annihilation unit, the one with mechanical leg are unit leader name Aiden Wright and that pink hair guy name Zhou Cheng"
There's also Chinese? We actually are we? Well I guess that girl Mary have teleport power
"And those two who bring you here is unit two the battle unit, the leader is Emma Hansen, and Kai Wilson"
Emma is the leader? Doesn't seem like it at all though?
"And last, unit three the non-cambat unit, leader Mary Kelly, and the person you're holding Sophia"
"What she's non-combat?, but why did you send her there!?"
"The root doesn't in full state that it attracts monsters yet, and she want to investigate the root herself so that's how it happens"
"But shouldn't you sending someone with her at least?"
"Look around, we're in people shortage right now, and there's might be a root that I discovered too late anytime"
"..."
"So would you join us and help with that problem Roy?"
