A dark-hooded, antisocial, yet polite, combat-skilled, and rich college student named Nathan lives in London, England with his father helping him make military weapons as his father believes that someday he will inherit his corporation. However, because people knew his father, they stood at a distance from Nathan, fearing that he might unleash his own gun or other weapons on them if he is offended. This neglect caused his antisocial behavior and believes his only reason for living is his father and his company, especially since his mother divorced his father that resulted in losing most of his and their son's possessions and got it back after opening the corporation.
He currently trains in a quieter area of Hyde Park to avoid attention from the public. Due to his wealth from his father, he has been a target for robbers and was forced to train in boot camps, learn high levels of martial arts, and take weapons with him in a large bag to protect himself as suggested by his father, making him stand out even further due to lack of role models.
One day while walking over the London Bridge, Nathan saw a bright light illuminating in the water. His curiosity got the better of him and dives in to retrieve that object with his clothes on while still holding his bag of weapons.
However, the bright light wasn't an object, it was a vortex. Nathan struggles to get out of it, but the vortex pulls him in and rendered him unconscious.
As soon as he woke up, he found himself in a forest awakened by some of the elves as they took a curious interest in him due to his clothing.
"Where am I? Who are you people?" Nathan looks around and saw nothing, but elves.
"Did I wake up in a fantasy convention or something?"
"No." An elf wearing a skimpy warriors outfit stood in front of him accompanied with a half elf. "You are in the forest of the Continent. Standing around you now are the forest elves, the inhabitants of this forest."
"Elves? I was always taught that they were a myth by my father."
"We were hoping to keep our existence a secret from the human population. So tell me human, who are you and why are you here?"
"I was going to ask the same about you." Nathan gets up with a disdained look on his face towards the elf.
"This is our forest. As your superior you are ordered to reveal your origins first."
"No one is my superior. If you aren't going to help me get out, I will leave on my own." Just as when Nathan was about to leave with his bag, the female elf drew her sword near his neck.
"If you aren't going to tell me, you know I will have to stop you."
"You don't want to do that Miss."
"Well then, shall we settle in this in a duel?"
"Sure, why NOT?" Nathan immediately deflects her sword with the palm of his hand and puts her in a submission with a pistol aiming at her head, shocking the elves.
"Nobody move, or this elf will die once I pull the trigger." The rest of the elves stood back, despite not knowing what the weapon is.
"ALLEYNE!" The half elf screamed.
"Alleyne, so that is your name." Nathan decides to hang his pistol in his clothing and allows Alleyne to get up. The rest of the elves prepare to kill him, but Alleyne stopped them.
"Hold it, regardless with how the duel turned out, I lost so therefore we have to follow what he says, but tell me human, I have had many years of combat experience, how come you were easily able to outmatch me?"
"I've been training since I was a kid. I guess your people were never introduced to the fighting style of my world of London. Don't worry, I will keep your existence a secret if you tell me where I am and where I can go."
"Very well. Nowa, I want you to tell him everything he needs to know and guide him out of the forest." Alleyne leaves Nowa, the half elf, with Nathan.
Nathan calls Alleyne. "By the way, my name is Nathan in case you want to know. I got to this world by accident when I was on a bridge and a vortex sucked me into the water. Do you know how to get back?"
Alleyne took a curious look at Nathan. "Interesting, than we will have to take you to the elders to discuss your situation."
After he was taken to the elders, they were shocked by the story of his origin and decided that they could not help him due to their lack of knowledge of his world and the magic that got him here. Instead they tell him about this world he is in and where the nearest city is in hopes that he could find out more about how to get back, but tells him that he will have to be on his own since the city is human populated.
When Nathan finally reaches Gainos, the Queen's capital, rumors came about a mysterious traveler in strange clothing carrying a bag and was proven true as Nathan walks further into the city. The girls, however, became slightly infatuated by him for his handsome looks, despite his strange appearance.
Nathan was able to ignore most of them, but saw several thugs trying to rob an innocent woman and tries to escape with the bag of money they got from her. As they try to escape, Nathan suddenly starts to make a move and hits both thugs with a clothesline from both arms. He notices that his senses are much keener and his fighting skills much more enhanced in this world. The lady thanked him for getting her gold back and the reaction of the witnesses were divided with some impressed while other are in shock.
"Man, if this guy is a girl, she would be a tough competitor of the Queen's Blade tournament." Said one.
"Agreed." Said the other.
With the amount of gold that the elves gave him, he was able to receive needed supplies from several markets. His actions, however, has attracted the attention of Elina Vance, who has never seen a male commoner with such skills and approached him.
"Hello commoner, you apparently have the skills to become a great warrior. It is rare to find a man such as yourself with such skills. How about I hire you as my bodyguard?"
Elina becomes angry when she saw Nathan walking away without answering her.
"Hey, I am offering you a job and you ignored someone from the Vance family!"
"Shut up! I don't want a job. I want to explore this world right now and find out how to get back to my own world. I don't care if you are a part of the Vance family, because royalty doesn't work that way in my world!"
Everyone became shocked at the fact that a commoner was able to stand up to Elina. Shocked and humiliated, Elina lets out a huge outburst of anger, scaring everybody away from her.
As he continues to explore the town, he saw Leina running towards him and jumps out of the way as she continued to run.
"Strange girl." Nathan remarked.
When he looked down, he saw a sword right below the area he jumped and picks it up. He realizes that it belonged to Leina who was running nonstop, but when he turns around, he saw an exhausted Elina, who has been chasing after him after humiliating her earlier.
"HEY! It was never nice to look down upon your rulers like that and-" Elina notices Leina's sword in his hands and became surprised. "Why do you have my sister's sword? What did you do to her?"
Before Elina could ask Nathan anymore questions, he tosses the sword towards her. "Your sister was running back earlier and her sword accidentally slipped. I have exchanged the sword for my freedom so please don't follow."
Elina stuck her tongue out at Nathan before turning back, hinting a sign of respect coming from her. The event made him realize that he might need a close combat weapon so he went into an armory and purchased himself a rapier before continuing his journey. Luckily he learned sword fighting from kendo and fencing, making him quite skilled with a sword along with the enhancement of this ability coming from this world.
As he started to leave Gainos, he saw a village nearby and decided to take a rest there. As he moves further in, he saw a little young boy playing outside briefly, but heard a sound not too far and saw a nearby hill full of rocks. There was a giant boulder on top of that hill and the smaller rocks were about to give in. He then heard panics as the children immediately treated back to their houses and the boulder was heading towards the little boy he saw earlier, who is too frightened to move. His parents tried to reach him, but he is too far off. Not wanting to see him die, Nathan reacted quickly and was able to stop the boulder with his bare hands.
"Are you okay?" The little boy uncurled himself and saw Nathan stopping the boulder.
"Yes, thank you."
The boy's parents immediately came after him and hugged him out of relief.
"Rana, thank goodness you are safe." The mother continues to hug Rana tightly.
Rana turns towards Nathan, as did the parents. "This guy saved my life mother."
The father greeted Nathan out of appreciation for saving Rana. "You have my thanks traveler for saving my son's life. By the way, my name is Owen and this is my wife and son, Cattleya and Rana."
"My name is Nathan and is nice to meet all of you."
Owen took a look at Nathan's clothes with great curiosity. "Say, you are not from around here are you?"
"No sir, I am only looking for a place to stay for the night." Nathan grabs his bag and prepares to leave, but Rana stops him.
"Why don't you stay with us for the night?"
"No thanks, I don't want to take advantage of your hospitality."
"Come on boy, you saved our son's life, we could at least allow you to stay for the night. Besides my wife and me would like to find out more about where you came from." Owen also starts dragging Nathan to the house.
During dinner, Rana took a look inside Nathan's bag out of curiousity as did Owen and Cattleya, but Nathan stops them.
"All of this in my bag are very dangerous weapons I brought with me to defend myself. You have to be very careful around with them, that is why I don't want anybody touching my bag."
"I am a weapons crafter, but you got all this cool stuff here I have never seen before, at least let me use one." Rana took out one of the pistols and accidentally shoots a hole in the wall. Rana puts the gun back in the bag when he saw Nathan becoming a bit irritated.
"So can you tell us where you came from?" Cattleya asked.
"There are a lot of things that you probably won't understand when I tell you. I came from another world that has all these weapons for war. In that world, not only are there better weapons, there are better transportations without the use for animals, wings, or carriages, taller buildings, and clothing like mine."
"Your world sounds awesome already." Rana interrupted. "But wait, how can you have transportation without wings or carriages?"
"We often invent new things and have something to power it up. For me, I make weapons as you can see in my bag here."
"You are right. Seems like your world is a bit too complicated for us to understand, but what brought you here anyway?" Owen asked.
"That is what I am trying to figure out. I asked many people here to find out how I can go home, which is the reason why I am in this journey."
Owen seems interested in hearing Clayton's story, but decides to refrain from asking too many questions. "I see, but I am sure you will find a way. Anything you want to know about this world?"
"I keep hearing something about the Queen's Blade tournament. Can you explain what that is?"
"Of course. The Queen's Blade is a tournament that is held once every four years in the Continent held in Gainos, the Queen's Capital, to determine the most beautiful and powerful Queen. Female fighters from all over the Continent travel to this city in order participate."
"A tournament to determine the next Queen? What is the history of this event?"
"I don't know myself, but know this, some people participate for their own intentions and some are even trying to stop it. Be careful around these people as most are untrustworthy."
"Thanks, I will keep that in mind."
After the meal, Nathan was given a small room to sleep in along with a small bed. Rana wants to keep examining Nathan's weaponry, but promises that he won't fire or take it apart.
Unable to sleep, Nathan walks outside for some fresh air and is deep in thought about the Queen's Blade tournament and decides to delay his trip back home to find out more about it.
"Queen's Blade huh? Interesting." Nathan remains cautious remembering the warning that Owen gave him about the events surrounding the tournament.
Airi soon spotted him as she returns from sucking the life force of others.
"This traveler looks interesting. Perhaps I better tell Melona what I found and see who he really is."
I was surprised of the lack of romance and Airi in the Queen's Blade fanfics so I decided to make one myself. Some inspiration comes from Marchen Awaken Romance, the Matrix, and Zero no Tsukaima. This will have a bit of harem content in it.
