Chapter 519 - Player
Inside the room prepared for him, Hayate was still in a daze. He could not believe what he heard during the meeting a while ago. After everyone had calmed down they were told that he and the other six standing beside him were summoned heroes.
Hearing this revelation the seven of them had different reactions, two of them were indifferent to the news, another two were excited, one was feeling displeased, another was calmly assessing the situation, while the gigantic man was once again enraged as he shouted.
"What of my Clan?! I\'m the head warrior the strongest of them all, the one who protects them all from the Sun Eaters! How dare you summon me into this world making me forsake my duty! Every second I stay here will bring death to my clan! So bring me back now!"
"I\'m sorry but we don\'t have a way to bring any of you back, this was a one-way ticket. I\'m truly sorry but we were desperate as well." The moment the warrior heard this answer his eyes darkened and he roared he looked like he was going to attack, but then he fell onto the ground in despair.
While the warrior was wallowing in despair, the lady on the throne frowned as she tried something while waving her hands. The lady was surprised by the outcome of her action and after a few seconds, she sighed.
"Very well, I believe your story. Seeing as I can no longer return to my beloved empire, I shall start anew and once again create the Empire of Gold in this world. Everyone present here be honored, for you are now the subjects of I Artemisia, the Golden Empress."
Hearing what Artemisia said four of the heroes started leaking out killing intent that filled the room, making the rulers and knights feel nervous. Some of them had already backed away a bit. The gentleman approached Artemisia and smiled.
"I\'m sorry milady, even as a proper gentleman, I cannot gift you my freedom nor my pride. So I deeply apologize for the inconvenience but I shall not become one of your subjects." Even though the gentleman was smiling on the outside everyone could feel something ominous hidden within that smile.
"I do not serve any master, but I shall kill anyone for as long as the price is right. I can even kill you right now if someone paid me to do it." The one who wore a white mask appeared behind the golden throne and had placed a knife near Artemisia\'s neck. Unperturbed by the killing intent nor the knife on her neck, Artemisia looked at the one sleeping on the bed.
"Then how about you, do you have a complaint as well? Even though it was a brief moment I did feel your killing intent and it was the thickest of them all."
The person who was laying on the bed lifted his head a little and looked at Artemisia. The eyes that looked at Artemisia didn\'t seem like a living being\'s eyes, it was empty as if the man had no soul.
"Being your subject seems like a hassle and I don\'t want any part of that. So as long as you don\'t mess with my sleep I could care less." Once he was done saying his piece the man went back to sleep.
"Heh… So then how about you, it seems like you\'ve wanted to talk since a while ago." Artemisia asked the half-naked man who suddenly did a weird pose.
"I, Dzala the greatest adventurer to have ever lived will bow down to no one, no matter how beautiful. As the greatest of all adventurers, I love my freedom. To explore the unknown and witness the mysterious. So I shall never give up my freedom no matter how many treasures you give me."
Dzala continued to show different poses as he spoke. Once he was done speaking, the terrifying little girl who was sitting in a lotus position snickered. Artemisia who heard the snickering little girl glared at her.
"Is there something you find funny?"
"Yes, it\'s you."
"How am I funny?"
"I find your every action since meeting you hilarious. I bet you\'re one of those foolish ones that think everything is yours since you have the most material treasures."
"Is that wrong?"
"Physical treasures aren\'t the only treasures, and having the most of them doesn\'t make you almighty."
"What do you mean?"
"Hmph, if you can\'t understand that by yourself then there\'s no hope for you, O\' foolish one."
"A little girl calling me the Golden Empress a fool, now that\'s hilarious."
The two started glaring at each other, their bloodlust practically visible. As things were once again heating up, the last of the seven heroes clapped his hands.
"Wow, that was such a great cut scene, whoever produced this game must be a genius. Well, I guess I should continue checking this game out tomorrow. Game mode deactivate… Huh?."
The young man looked around confused, he then tried to do something else as he once again wore the weird helmet and spoke some incomprehensible things. After a few minutes, he took off the helmet and started to panic. He approached one of the female knights and touched her chest, the moment he was able to do this he was shocked.
"This is real!" As he shouted those words, the female knight who had been touched reacted violently and punched the young man in the face knocking him unconscious.
…
That was all the things Hayate remembered before waking up in this room. It took Hayate quite a bit of time before he was able to calm himself down.
\'Alright, so I\'ve been summoned as a hero just like those isekai novels I used to read. Usually, those guys that get transported gain a cheat of sorts, so what is mine?\'
Hayate tried to feel if he had gained any mysterious power but there was nothing. He called out to summon a system prompt but there was nothing. He tried different things that he had read in different isekai novels, but none of them worked, as he was losing hope something finally happened.
