Hello everyone, my name is Zed a 18 year old male anime otaku, I have black hair, black eyes with a slight obese build with an average height. Yeah I know I have been lacking in the exercising department, but I seem to be in a yo-yo diet mode which is frustrating even with the excercise.
These days I've been hooked on the novel and anime called log horizon. the plot was very interesting. People got transported to their game avatar in an alternate world. It follows of their adventures in a completely new world with monsters and NPC, a non-player character or as they called them people of the land. Now that I have given you a synopsis of the story, doesn't it peek your curiosity?, nope?, wow, you're a tough nut to crack.
Anyways, I having a nice dream fantasizing on the adventures of the people of Elder Tales that I wished I was there to experience it first hand. So it was really a surprise for me when I woke up next morning seeing some ruined buildings that reminded me of Elder Tales. I pinched myself to wake myself up but I clearly felt the pain. I also checked out my body and saw something strange. I was wearing an unfamiliar clothes. The clothes were reminiscent of a simple robe, very comfortable too. I was also in a fit lithe swimmers build body.
"Great, I feel like a video game character." As I said that, I thought of status or player stats, to my surprise it opened a status screen.

I checked my skills and was surprised to find a very odd skill.
Safety Barrier lvl 1 [Unique]
Produces an invisible barrier that absorbs 100 damage. Consumes 100 mp.
"Thank god for small mercies." I said as I looked at the skill. It really has a potential skill.
"Hmm, my race is half-alv?, am I in Elder Tales." I thought to myself. I checked a nearby puddle of water and checked up my reflection. I was staring at an unfamiliar face with an aristocratic look and has red spiky hair.
"Not bad." I said to myself.
I also checked my inventory and found out I have an exp potion with some small hp and mp potions.
I checked my surroundings and decided to explore. I saw people panicking all over the place.
"I really am in Elder Tales." I thought to myself.
I was in danger here especially a level one character as I remembered the low level players were conned of their exp pot from some nasty guilds. I decided to avoid them at all cost. I still needed to level up though. I went outside the city careful to not attract attention to other players and went deep into the I saw goblins, lots of them.
I began to cast a safety barrier on myself and began to hit the goblin with my staff. I scanned the goblins level and was surprised it was level four. I would have been gravely injured or used my pots if it was not for my safety shield skill. After I killed the goblin, I leveled up and gained access to some of my skills
Servant Summon: Slime
Servant Summon Magic, Toggle-type. A Servant Summon spell that calls forth and enslaves an amorphous Synthetic lifeform. Attacks by slowing the movements of its target. When a nearby enemy begins spellcasting, it will fire acidic liquids to interrupt. When summoned, appears out of thin air and advances toward the enemy making squishy sounds.
"Summon slime." I said as I summoned a slime.
I ended up ganging on the goblins. I was now gaining experience at a faster rate. The slime was kind of cute, my enemies were now defeated easily.
"This is kind of fun." I thought to myself as I continued pounding the goblins with the help of my slime. Before I knew it I was now level 10 and can now summon a golem.
Servant Summon: Golem
Servant Summon Magic, Toggle-type. A Servant Summon spell that calls forth and enslaves a human-shaped Synthetic lifeform. With excellent power and toughness, it physically wrestles its target. When summoned, the Golem first raises its body into a pose, before advancing upon the enemy.
As proficiency level increases, the Golem's materials improve (soil - rock - steel). Its endurance will also increase. The appearance is also very important.
I was having an easy time monopolizing the goblin spots since it was the event of the apocalypse. The amount of drops and ingredients were thoroughly collected and by the end of the day, I have leveled to level 15, I also exchanged my loots to a nearby shop and went to sleep at an inn.
The next day, I was psyched up, it's not everyday you get sucked into your anime and have a grand adventure. I went back to the forest with some higher level goblins and began to attack with my slimes and golems. That's right, I can summon 2 of each summons with the proficiency to level 5. I had a pretty good time with the goblins, I mostly leave it to my summons while I are around.
It was easy pickings as far as monsters were concerned. I spent the whole day gaining levels and it was starting to show, I'm level 25 now and I gained some new skills.
Guardian Fist
Requirement: Synthetic. A fist attack that an enslaved Synthetic lifeform has a certain probability of activating. This skill gathers power and releases it to deal physical damage. For the 14 seconds after the command, it will tank all hits and takes reduced damage. The Summoner can command it at will and the time lag is extremely short, so it can be used to interrupt an enemy's attack when you see its precursor, and reduce damage towards you.
Scapedoll
Requirement: Synthetic. Can only be used when summoning a Synthetic lifeform such as Golem or Slime. For the duration of this effect, all damage to the Summoner is halved, and the other half of the damage is dealt to the Synthetic lifeform instead. Summoners who are insecure about their defense and endurance are extremely thankful for this skill, especially solo Summoners find this skill valuable. Summoners who fight alongside the Golem on the frontlines, "Bruiser Summoners", also exist. However, fighter-type Servants like Golem have far less endurance than any of the Warrior classes of the same level, so one should not be overconfident. During the duration of the effect, a blue sparkling string of magic connects the targeted Synthetic lifeform and the Summoner.
I was beginning to hate my staff as I didn't get any action during battles so I have started using daggers. I seem to have a knack for using them and I got a dagger mastery skill to boot.
It was time to sell the loots and sleep at the inn. The next day, I decided to investigate the city I am at. I seem to be at Akihabara in Japan server. I was excited to see the events unfold, but it seems that the formation of round table hasn't been formed. I scoured the city for some more news but it was still the same, some guilds were still recruiting people. I was going to head out and train to get some levels until I saw some familiar characters.
"Ne ne Killua, is this game like greed island?." Asked a black haired teen.
"No Gon, this is certainly different, maybe we shouldn't have accepted that job." Said Killua a white haired teen.
"Killua, I'm hungry, feed me."
"What are you talking about Gon, you know everything taste like crap, mostly everything."
I was having an entertaining thought, I had been leveling my cooking skills steadily since my first day from the goblin drops. My cook skill is level 20 so far, complicated dishes requires tools which I don't have yet though. I came upon two teens who seem familiar and eavesdropped on their conversation.
I was about to leave when I noticed something poking at me.
"Ne ne, mister, do you have any food?, it's only fair since you have been eavesdropping on us." Said Gon.
"Che, amateur." Said Killua who knew I was eavesdropping.
"Ohh, I've been found out, your conversation was entertaining though." I said.
"Yes, yes, now, pay up, give us food." Said Killua.
"Fine, fine, I said as I took out some egg rolls in my bag and shared them with Gon and Killua."
"Hmm delicious, thank you by the way, my names Gon and that beside me is Killua."
"Hmm, names Zed, now if you will excuse me I have to go, it was nice meeting you two." I said as I began to walk away.
30 minutes later
"Why are you guys still following me?." I said to them.
"Well, you seem to be the only one able to make food at the moment, we would be a fool to let this chance pass." Said Killua.
"kuku, good thing I came prepared, castling!." I said as I dissapeared.
"Son of a gun, he ditched us." Said Killua.
"Nooooo, he's gone." Said Gon.
On the forest, a shining light came and a figure was replaced by the figure of Zed.
"Good old castling." I said to myself.
Castling
Requirement: Servant Summon, Special Skill. An emergency escape spell that allows the Summoner to immediately swap positions with a Summon Servant. Because Castling only requires a blink of the eye to activate, it is possible to use it to evade attacks right before they reach the Summoner.
I was hunting for exp again, I choose the briar weasels this time for my hunt, nasty little buggers, attack in groups with long range laser like tails. Unfortunately for them, my safety barrier was now level 5 in proficiency and can absorb 500 damage, with my defense I continued to use my daggers in a professional dance to hunt them monsters. My proficiency with my daggers rose to level 10, quite an accomplishment I must say, combined with my safety barrier and my summoned minnions, I was killing them more easily. I even used my exp pot to increase my leveling speed. It really was a godsend, those exp pots. In the end of the day, I am now level 40, not bad for 3 days in Elder tales. I checked my loots and kept the most valuable among them which was some skill scrolls from the briar weasels drop and some equipment. I went back to Akihabara and sold my other loots and went to the Inn and slept.
I woke up the next morning refreshed, I ate some food I prepared, yes I did manage to procure some cooking utensils so I was well prepared now and self sufficient. This day I decided to take a rest, this was supposed to be the day I estimated that Shiroe will announce his plan.
I spotted the crescent moon alliance guild with Naotsugu outside their guild hall. I asked the members politely to let me talk me talk to Naotsugu.
"Naotsugu, there's someone here who wants to talk to you." Said the members of the crescent moon alliance.
"Is it a girl?, yes, it must be a girl who came to see me." Said Naotsugu.
"Sorry, it's a boy."
"Noooooooooooo." Shouted naotsugu.
"Shut up Naotsugu, let the guest in." Said Maryelle.
"Yes guild master."
I was led inside the guild towards the living room where Naotsugu, Maryelle and Henrieta was there, among the familiar faces I recognized.
"Hello mister Naotsugu, it's finally nice to meet you, I'm Zed, a huge fan."
"Oh no, it's a sausage festival, nooooo, I don't swing that way." Said Naotsugu with Maryelle and Henrieta laughing at the background.
"By the way Naotsugu-san, have you seen the the rumored kuro megane Shiroe, I must get his autograph, along with yours." I said.
As soon as I said and asked about shiroe, the atmosphere suddenly felt dark.
"I'm sorry, you came all this way for nothing, Shiroe is not here, I can't contact him on my friend list either, he's most likely still on earth." Said Naotsugu sadly.
"That can't be true, it's a joke right?" I said to them.
"I'm sorry, but it's true." Said Naotsugu sadly.
"Crap, this is not how cannon went." I thought as the repercussions of said circumstances will change the history.
