Here it is, chapter 2! Hope you enjoy!


They had thought it was just a dream, a hallucination or a very enhanced prank at the beginning, but soon they realized this was as real as could be. They wandered for hours and hours through some godforsaken desert, without water, food or anything, but their clothes. They had found strength into each other's company, but after time passed, the fires of hope began to extinguish. One by one they fell in to the burning sand, until almost everyone was carrying someone along.

Jeroen began to breathe heavier and heavier and caused Mark to worry. Mark saw his friends disappear in the distance as Jeroen was starting to slow down.

"Y-you c-c-can leave me b-b-ehind." Mark's voice hurt when he tried to speak. His throat felt like sandpaper. Jeroen shook his head and tried to walk on, but almost immediately collapsed, dropping mark in the process. They both lost consciousness in a matter of seconds.

The group forgot all about Mark and Jeroen as they reached the city. Some of them had expected to die and were so relieved that they fell asleep, feeling like this was safe and far , the guards had already seen them coming and prepared for an unwelcoming questioning for these strange folks. However, it became soon clear, that questioning would be impossible as the strangers looked more dead than alive. The guards discussed the matter with their boss Caitlyn.

'Dispose of them,' Caitlyn said coldly.

'We do not have either the space or the time for them.'

'They are exhausted! A guard exclaimed.

'If we don't help them they will die!'

'We cannot help them.' Caitlyn was about to turn away, when one of the guards begged her to at least take a look. He had hoped the sight would make her reconsider her decision.

She followed the guards to the strangers and took a quick look at them. No one seemed to pay attention the either the guards or Caitlyn. Caitlyn was just about to turn her back on them, when her eye caught a sight she had never seen before. Somehow she felt attracted to one of the boys. Never had she felt guilt or questioned her decisions, but somehow she felt like she had to aid those strangers.

'Fine, take them inside and see them cared for.' She said surly.

'Yes ma'am.' The guards reacted immediately. All of the boys were either unconscious or asleep. The guards carried them with great caution, making sure that they wouldn't drop them. Caitlyn returned to the headquarters, but somehow knew she hadn't seen the last of those boys yet.


The smell of leaves penetrated Mark's nose, as he awoke. He felt cold; very cold. He found himself in the middle of an oasis lying on a bed made of leaves. His heart skipped a beat; this was nothing like his home. Where on earth was he? Then he saw Jeroen lying next to him and remembered everything. How he was playing League with some friends and how the PC swallowed him and the friends he was on skype with. He had no idea if there were any others here, he just knew about the six friends he had been with. He also remembered the ordeal he had to endure, when they travelled across the desert. He and Jeroen had collapsed on the sand, but he wasn't anywhere near a desert when he woke up.

'Where on earth are we?' A familiar voice sounded into his ear.
'I highly doubt we are even on Earth,' Mark remarked.

Then it all came back to Jeroen as well.

'O god, this isn't a desert is it?'

'I am glad we aren't in that endless desert anymore,' Mark replied.

'I seem to recall that we discovered a city,' Jeroen muttered, 'if we are here...'

The sentence didn't have to be finished for Mark to understand where this was going. They were lost. They lost their only company. The only thing they still had in this weird place; their friends. After a moment of silence Jeroen spoke.

'How did we get here anyway? Also, my thirst largely disappeared and my throat doesn't feel like it's filled with sand.'

Mark nodded. 'I feel the same.'

'That's probably because I gave you some medicine,' a gentle voice said.

Jeroen screamed out of surprise and jumped to his feet.

Mark on the other hand just blinked.

'Who and where are you?' Mark's voice trembled.

'I am right behind you.' Mark turned his head slowly, not knowing what he might encounter.

To his and Jeroen's great relieve it was just a girl. However, after a couple of seconds that relieve it was just a girl. However, after a couple of seconds that relieve turned into disbelieve. Right there in front of them stood Akali, a League of Legends champion. An fictional character that was made up by a company named Riot Games, yet she stood there, real as can be. Mark's hand reached out to touch her, maybe his eyes were deceiving him or maybe he was in fact dead. Akali wore her original green clothes, but she did not wear her weapons. She didn't regard them as a threat.

'What do you think you're doing?' Akali's voice sneered.

Mark couldn't find the words. 'Who are you? I can't say I have any clue from where you are. So I also cannot tell if you are hostile or friendly.' She looked at them thoroughly.

'Nope haven't got a clue.' She shook her shoulders.

'I-I-I-I-I-I…' Mark murmured, while Jeroen just gaped at her.

'Right, that's what I wanted to say.' Another voice emerged with a calm sound.

Karma appeared from the sky, she had been levitating above them the whole time. This was too much for either Jeroen or Mark to take in. They both lost consciousness.

'Strange boys,' Akali remarked.

'Yet I feel a strong energy coming from them…' A wrinkle formed at Karma's head.

'They wouldn't have been so "full" of energy if you hadn't intervened in my business,' Akali responded as she sat down. The remark gave her a fierce look from Karma.

'I still can't believe you tried to murder those boys! They were in need of help, not slaughter.'

'I am a preserver of balance!' she bellowed as she rose. 'Those two aren't supposed to be here. They don't belong here. Even if they are from this world, then they surely are not from Runeterra. I haven't heard of anything like this. Karma, they need to be eliminated!'

Karma was thinking again. 'Yes,' she said finally, 'those boys aren't from anywhere near here. Who, on their right mind, is foolish enough to travel the Hiraki Desert? They didn't even have equipment. Still, it is not in my nature to let those boys die helplessly; especially when someone is trying to murder them.' Akali neglected her punishing tone.

'You are strong Karma and I respect you, but those two…'

'Enough!' Karma's surrounding magic started stirring. A wave of cold swept through the oasis. 'They will not be harmed under my watch.' Karma's shining eyes pierced through Akali.

'Fine, fine... you don't have to get so fed up about it.' Akali knew it wasn't a good move to pick a fight with Karma. She was one of the few mages she could lose a duel to. Besides, Karma was a good friend of Akali. Her duty would have to be done later.


Rens had a bursting headache when he woke up. It felt like being hit by a truck over and over again. Whenever he tried to move, he felt a shot of pain go through his entire body. He tried to get up, but soon discovered this wasn't a very clever idea. He certainly wasn't going to school in this state. Soft mumblings escaped from his mouth when he tried to call for his mum to say he would have to stay home for the day.

'I cannot stand it when patients die,' the voice echoed in his head. 'I don't care if you like or don't like it, just get him out of here!'

What the hell was going on? Patient? No way in hell he was a patient; certainly not a dead one. He was just a bit sick. Mum hadn't placed him in a hospital, had she? Had he perhaps been in a coma? He forced some words out to get answers: 'Wat goin on her?'

'Holy ghost of Jarvan, did he just speak?'

'Wha?' Rens voice disappeared as soon as it appeared.

"He's awake!" The nurse standing by his bed was ecstatic. she was clad in a long white coat, with an unfamiliar logo on it. Rens guessed she would have to be 20 years old, if that. "Doctor! , come quickly! The boy has awakened!"

"Hello, child." The doctor slowly walked into the room. He was unlike the Nurse, very old, ancient almost. He had fuzzy grey hair, both on his head and his beard, and was wearing a black shirt. "I was afraid you would never wake up. Not many survive the perilous trip through desert, and you made it out without any equipment at all. Most fortunate indeed, hmm. Tell me, child, what is your name and why did you traverse through the desert?"

"Uh, hello Doctor. My name is Rens." Rens' head was hurting as a spoke, his voice nothing more than a whisper. "I fled from the jungle west of here. We were attacked by the local wildlife, so we had to flee. The only way out was through the desert."

"Only a fool would enter that jungle! Why would you ever want to go there? It is well known for its dangerous wildlife, as well as hunters. It would seem lady luck was at your side this time, young Rens."

"Listen, I came here with my friends, six others in total. Have you seen them?" Rens said interupting his scolding.

"Six? When you collapsed at our walls, you were a group of 5, including you."

Rens arose from his bed. "I want to see my friends. Can you take me to them?"

The Doctor lead Rens through a series of long hallways. Rens' body was hurting with every step, but it didn't matter. He had to see his friends.


As Rens walked into the room, the other boys looked up. "Rens! You're alive!" Diako was happy to see his friend again, who already looked much better than just half a day ago, when they were travelling through the desert.

"Sorta… so… " Rens looked around the room, noticing that two of his friends were indeed not present. "Mark and Jeroen are missing? I sure hope they're okay..."

"Where ever they are, hopefully they're still together. We still don't have a clue about where we are, and how we came here."

"Maybe I can help you boys." A tall woman entered the room. She had long, blue hair and was wearing what seemed like a stretched-out sheriff's hat, looking like a cowgirl. She had a gun holstered on her back.

"Caitlyn…." Willem could not believe his eyes. A champion in real life?

Caitlyn stepped back in shocked. "How do you know my name? Speak!"

"Y-you look like a champion from League of Legends. You're the sheriff of Pilltover right? Is that where we are, Piltover?" Diako was trying to make sense of it all.

"Yes, I am indeed the sheriff of this beautiful city. You're not from around here, are you? "

"Are we in Runeterra?" Oliver, who had been silent untill now, didn't bother making small talk with the sheriff; he wanted answers, and fast.

"Of course, where else?" Caitlyn looked at the boys as if they were crazy. Of course this was Runeterra.

"B-but… That's impossible!" Willem started to panic. They were in a fantasy world. But this was very real, he could still feel the ache in his legs, which were still tired from the long journey. "How could we have been transported from Earth to a game?"

The boys were all quite shocked, and stared off in silence. They were thinking about what this could mean. Will they ever return? How could they, normal boys of 18 years old, survive in a world filled with magic and strange powerful creatures?

Niels started walking towards the door. "i'm gonna go take a walk. I won't be gone for long, just need some time alone is all." He was one of the few who could easily walk again.

The boys had no time to react to Niels, as immediately a song started playing.

She's such a misfit, always ready to brawl

it's like her business, roughing up your friends as the law

Caitlyn took a phone out of her pocket, where the sound came from. she answered the call. "Yeah? …. Vi calm down. …. Yeah i'm kind of in the middle of something …. What? Jinx again? I'm on my way. Just… don't punch stuff just yet. This time, we'll get her."

She hang up, turning to the boys. "I'm afraid I have to leave. Something else came up." She left the boys alone, wondering whether they were telling the truth. They were talking about the League of Legends as a game… could they be…? No, that would be ridiculous. There was no way that those young boys could be the great and powerful summoners the old stories were about.


'They are waking up,' Akali pointed towards the boys, who had been out for the past 6 hours. Mark began to sit up straight and stretched his arms. In the process he hit Jeroen on his head.
'What the hell Mark?' Jeroen clearly hadn't forgotten where he was.

'Can we continue our previous conversation or are you going to pass out again?'
Still not used to the voice of Akali, the boys winced. Akali just laughed.
'First of all, can you tell me where you're from?' Karma's curiousty clearly came across. Jeroen and Mark looked at eachother, not sure what to say.

'We're… ehm…' Mark stopped talking.
'Yes? You are what?'
'We aren't from around here,' Jeroen finished Mark's sentence. 'I don't even think we are meant to be here.'

Akali gave a confused look at Karma, asking her to explain. Unfortunately Karma didn't know what those words meant either.
'Do you have any place you call home?' It seemed the most simple question one could ask, but once again, the boys didn't know how to answer it.

'We do,' stuttered Mark, 'b-but we eh… our home isn't in our reach at the moment.'

'What is this gibberish?' Akali exclaimed with annoyance.
'You don't know where you're from, you don't know where you are, but you do know that you cannot return home at the moment. Karma, I beg you, let me take care of them. They threaten our very existence!'

'I am not in the mood to tell things twice, if you keep nagging about blood I'll gladly give you some,' Karma delivered her threat calmly, knowing Akali wouldn't step up to challenge her. Full of fury, Akali slammed her fist into the ground.
'You can accompany me for a while, if you would like,' Karma was interested in the boys. What mysteries were these boys hiding? What is this energy that they are emitting so freely? She had to know.

The boys agreed anonymously. They knew nothing about this place. Better to stick with someone who does.

"Alright, that's settled then, we leave immediately.' Karma looked at the mocking Akali. "Are you coming with us? I expect not."
"No, I will return to Shen, I think he wants to hear about this." Akali stood up, shrouded and disappeared.


The streets were busy. Traffic could not move an inch, and the pavements were crowded with people trying to get to their work. It was early in the morning, the sun was still behind the tall skyscrapers of Piltover. The occasional flock of birds flew over the city, but their chirping did not reach the ears of the people below them. The people were busy with their everyday lives, unlike the boys.

Niels was walking through the streets of Piltover, ignoring everything around him, as he was in deep thoughts. He was stuck in this world, possibly forever. What should he do with his life in this world? On Earth, he was no one special. Just your average high school student. But in this world, the possibilities were endless. Should he learn how to fight properly? Or maybe try his hand at magic?

Niels walked into a small corridor, to find some peace and quiet in this busy, never-resting city. When he hit a dead end, he sat down on the ground. He put his head between his knees, not knowing what to do. He felt lost.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the air in front of him started to… move. A black portal opened up, at least that was what it seemed like. Niels tried to look inside it, but could not see anything besides darkness.

He heard a voice inside his head. "You…. Summoner…"

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Niels yelled.

"We are the void… and you, Child, should listen to what we have to say. You feel lost, without purpose in this world. You think you do not belong here, but you could not be more wrong…"

"What do you mean? What do you know about me and my friends?!

"We know where you are from, and We have noticed that you in particular have a strong affinity for magic. Infinite power, hidden inside you… Don't you want to be siege it? We have chosen you to be given the gift of the void. With our powers with your potential combined, you shall be the most powerful being on this planet. "

"Most… powerful?" Niels was in doubt. Maybe studying magic could help them get back to the real world? But, he would have to leave his friends behind...

"Answer us, Summoner. Step inside the rift if you wish to control your power."

I could always come back later, Niels thought to himself. Maybe I can learn something about our predicament. It's worth a shot. "I'll do it. Teach me how to use my power."

He stepped inside the portal, which immediately disappeared afterwards.
