"...wait… wait… can you repeat the story again? I don't believe I understood correctly…"
Hyphon had asked me after sharing the story of how I even ended up here. I think he's the God of Intelligence or something
"Dude, this is like the hundredth time!"
"That was the first. How does your mind even-"
"Please don't question it, he's a bit of a lazy asshole…"
Sarah, my best friend, interrupted him with a bit of annoyance in her voice. Way to back me, bitch.
"hmm… I wasn't paying attention when Hyphon-"
Sarah pokes my side hard
"**LORD** Hyphon"
"Yeah, yeah Lord Hyphon, whatever… I wasn't paying attention to when you were explaining how we got here, so…"
"I see… I guess I did notice you dozing off a little… I will explain once again"
Hyphon clears his throat to speak. He's glaring at me. I think he's annoyed, but I don't really care.
"We have selected 5 individuals from the world you call home to aid our world in it's time of need."
"As you can see, there are 6 of you here."
"Yeah, and I'm the extra, right?"
"Yes, we each individually selected one candidate to summon. This selection was based on your aptitude with our 5 holy weapons, personality, and intelligence"
"'Kay, I think I get it…"
"basically there was supposed to be one candidate per god, but then I appeared which is kinda messing everything up?"
"Yes, Because you meet none of the standards"
Nyph, magic goddess or something, reentered the room after thinking our talk was finally over
"Have you figured out the problem yet? I just finished talking with Earth's God… he said that as he wishes to stay, he can"
"Hmm? What'd you need to ask him for?"
"For permission to take people out of his world, duh!"
"We can't just waltz up in there and take whoever we want without a care!"
"Nyph, please present yourself properly in front of our guests."
"Why should I?! This idiot isn't even supposed to be here!"
"Still-"
"Oh yeah, my story. I was supposed to explain that right?"
I interrupted them mainly cuz I don't feel like sitting through an argument between these 2, but also cuz I just remembered what I was supposed to do
"Hmm? Oh, yes. That…"
Nyph stops glaring at Hyphon to listen to me
Alright, so basically I was hanging out with Sarah. We were just sitting at one of those park tables (whatever they're called) and just talking to each other
"So, you have a boyfriend yet?"
Sarah looks at my dumbfounded by the question
"No, I'd have told you if I got one already"
"loner"
"you don't have one either, jackass!"
"Of course I don't, I'm straight"
She goes on to yelling about how that's not what she meant and stuff while I continue to make fun of her
"yo, I never asked, but why'd you dye your hair purple? It looks kinda weird"
"Wouldn't you-"
"please get to the point already."please get to the point already."
Hyphon was annoyed at how long this story was taking. rude considering he was the one who asked for the full story.
"Okay, okay, calm down"
Suddenly, we heard her phone go off, and a box popped up on her phone
>Do you give consent to be taken to another world?<
>Yes
>No
I looked at the box and thought it'd be funny if I just pressed Yes, assuming that she'd press No from how sketchy it looked
instead… we both clicked yes
"Hey that could've been a virus, y'know?"
"YOU PRESSED YES TOO!"
"and then poof, we're here sitting in front of you 5 Gods"
Hyphon and Nyph look a bit overwhelmed by the information
"I see, so our method of getting consent backfired a little…"
"Well, it was your idea, Hyphi"
"Please don't call me that"
"What do you guys even need consent for?"
"Huh? Oh, that was one of the conditions your god gave us in order to take people from Earth"
"Can I leave now? I really want to see that weapon I aptituded for!"
Sarah's a bit tired of all this talk… as am I
"Yeah, and since I'm staying around, I wanna see what I can do!"
Hyphon and Nyph both agree and lead us out of this room finally
After a bit of a walk, we find ourselves in a garden with 5 podiums containing the holy weapons and the other candidates and Gods
Undral, the Mother Goddess… I assume that means she oversees this world's life? Jorl, God of Power. I think that one's self explanatory. And then Orden, Goddess of Order. Don't ask me for the candidate's names, I don't remember them
Hyphon explains to the other gods the situation
"Thank you for staying behind to do that, Hyphon. And you as well, Nyph, for asking the Earth God for his permission"
"I see, so he has decided to stay? I'm glad, he seems like a lot of fun!"
Undral and Jorl seem to be fine with me around… on the other hand.
"I don't believe that it would be best for him to stay here"
Order doesn't seem to think of as a very good character
"Even if we send him down there, it'd do no good with his magic aptitude"
"Yes, I had also come to that conclusion myself…"
Hyphon glances at me for a second
"Wait what's my magic aptitude?"
"That would be telekinesis"
Oh, I see, telekinesis… wait… Telekinesis!?
"I can definitely run that!"
The gods, along with the candidates stare at me in shock of my sudden outburst
"What could you possibly do-"
"Shut up!"
Cutting off Orden like that was met with an immediate dropkick from Sarah
"OW!"
"Stop saying rude things!"
"I'm so sorry for this idiot's behavior!"
"It's alright… explain yourself"
Orden's glaring at me
"Send me down right now, and I'll prove to all of you that I'm not just some idiot!"
The Gods are seem stonished at my statement just now, and share a quick conversation. then Orden speaks up
"Challange accepted"
Suddenly a white light surrounds me, and I'm teleported into their world.
