AN: This is my first attempt at a shield hero fanfic. I finished both the anime and web novel and as of now, I'm still in the first volume of the LN.
I want to try something. I want try if this story can get a tvtrope page. I hope it does.
Disclaimer: Obviously, I don't own Rising of The Shield Hero.
{{ Story Start }}
"Story of The Four Cardinal Heroes? Sounds interesting, although the title's a bit plain"
My name is Yamamoto Yuuki. Age: 20 Gender: Male. A College student aiming to be a Game Developer.
As to where and what am I doing right now, I'm at a bookstore browsing for new light novels to read. Those are very good source of inspiration and reference for my experimental games. I call them experimental but the truth is those are just fan games I made. Fighting, RPG, Visual Novel style and others, I tried it.
My parents are very busy businessmen overseas and usually checks up on me monthly while sending funds for my necessities. I lived with my grandma ever since they made their big break.
And with that hefty sum of cash, I bought this LN and its next few volumes and brought it back to my house..
And so I read about the story of the four heroes.
It's a typical fantasy world with typical prophecy about 'waves of destruction' and the only way to save the world is to summon heroes. In other words, typical isekai plot.
The odd thing in this book is, it summoned four. Generally, isekai tend to summon only one or an entire class of students.
On a side note. Japan is truly the center of fantasy otherworld heroes.
The four heroes owned one weapon each.
The Sword.
The Bow.
The Spear.
The Shield?
Why the shield?. Then again, a certain captain used a shield as a weapon. Anyways,
The four of them went on a journey to train, gather allies to fight the waves. Went on a few misadventures along the way.
This kinda gets boring though as there's no waifu material. There's the princess but she's a lying, manipulative bitch that obsessed with getting the attention of heroes? That and she seems to love pitting them against each other.
The hero of the sword is rather active and powerful and seems to take the lead most of the time. The typical swordsman protag trope.
The hero of the spear valued his comrades. The typical nakama protag trope
The hero of the bow never tolerates injustice. The typical hero of justice character.
The hero of the shield might have the weakest attacking power, but he always protected his comrades. The classic tanky RPG character.
Interestingly, this story seems to add RPG elements to it, from classes to crafting methods to enhancement methods, all sorts of things found in typical RPG games.. Each character also fit in the common RPG roles.
The high HP, high , high HP regen Tank for the Shield hero.
The high HP, high ATK, user friendly Warrior for the Sword hero.
The high ATK, high DEX, but squishy Rogue/Hunter/Assassin for the Bow hero
The high , high AGI but average HP and low Assassin/Rogue like Spear hero.
And so, after finishing this all of it and finding out it's still not finished, I went to sleep.
{{ Hero of the Wand }}
"Ohhh!"
I heard the sounds of amazement from people. Something that prompted me to suddenly sit up. I'm in my room and no one else is supposed to be here but me …. Except I'm no longer in my room and I'm sitting on one corner of what looks like a glowing pentagram alongside four other people. Each of us are either sitting (which is my and the shield guy's case) or standing ( as is the case with the kids with the sword and bow and the guy with the spear. )
Did I mention that we're surrounded by what seems to be cultists?
Just what the fuck is going on!?
"What's going on?" One of us said.
That's what I want to know too!.
I just slept in my room and when I woke up I'm sitting in some sort of magic circle holding a scepter of sorts while surrounded by lots of cultists!
Wait. Scepter?
I finally noticed what I am holding.
It's a white scepter that's about two feet long and about an inch thick that looks like that guy's spear, only remove the spike at the pommel and the blade and replace it with a purple jewel.
Where did this come from?
"Where are we?" The sword kid asked.
"Oh heroes, Please save our world!"
Heroes? Save the world?
What the fuck?
"What!?" The other four shouted in unison.
My thoughts exactly! Plus the fuck!
"What is that supposed to mean?" The bow kid asked.
Still, this place, this scenario, the words of these cultists, all of this looks familiar to me. Like I've saw, heard all of these before.
Wait a second. Sword. Spear. Bow. Shield.
It can't be…
"There are many complications in this situation, but to offer a simple answer to your question, we have just completed an ancient ceremony and summoned you five heroes."
I've been isekai'ed.
I'm fucking isekai'ed
I'm isekaied in that fucking light novel.
But…. There wasn't anything about a scepter in there.
An Alternate Universe of The Story of The Four Cardinal Heroes perhaps?
"Summoned?" The spear guy asked.
"Our world is on the brink of destruction. Heroes, we beg of you, please lend us your strength" The cultists said, bowing very deeply to us.
I'm seriously creeped out. I don't like these cultists bowing to us.
"Well, it wouldn't hurt to-" The shield guy said but he was rudely interrupted by others.
"I don't think so"
"Yeah, me neither"
"We can go back to our world right? We'll talk about your problems after that."
They're certainly calm about this. I've grasped the situation just now but these guys looks like they know what they're doing, to make statements like that.
"Are you okay?" The shield guy asked me.
How nice of him. Worrying about others in this situation.
"Yeah, I'm fine. The situation just shocked me" I replied. The shield bro gave me an understanding look.
Being isekaied tend to shock people you know.
"They seem happy to be here." The shield bro commented.
I nodded. " This is dream come true for any fantasy fan. You get to adventure, kill the dragon and save the princess and all that fantasy hero stuff." I replied. Shield bro nodded in agreement.
Oops, I might have missed parts of the conversation. Gotta listen to these people bargain first. I'll think about the entire situation later. I have to focus on what's going on right now.
"Perhaps the did not have the decency to think about how we would feel after being summoned." The sword kid said, pointing his sword at the cultists.
How aggressive…..
"And besides, there's no guarantee you'll send us back to our worlds after we save you and bring peace to this world." The bow kid said.
Bow kid has a point. Good. They're taking this seriously.
"How do you plan to convince us? Depending on your answer, we might end up becoming your enemy." The spear guy said.
Going to threats already? I guess that's fine too, just so these cultists know we're serious in this. That and doing what they're asking without a reward doesn't go well with me.
It's clear that they're tying to figure out their standing and demand guaranteed compensation for their efforts, something I can somewhat respect. You gotta make sure the contract is clear and all that.
Another thing is the expressions of these cultists. Like they're desperate for our help or something, which eases parts of my worries. Slave contracts exists in the light novel and I'm worried about that. Seeing these people being defiant without getting any punishment of sorts relieved me since that means we're not bound by a slave contract.
Though now that I think about it, they've been somewhat subservient since the beginning so I might have worried for nothing.
"Yes, well, we would very much like you to speak with the king. He will discuss future compensation with you in the throne room. Please follow us." The lead cultist replied.
The cultists opened the huge door behind them and gestured for us to follow.
"Whatever"
"I seems worth discussing."
"Well, my opinion won't change no matter who's involved."
These guys are still aggressive huh.
We followed the cultists towards a very medieval hallway. Looking at the scenery outside, its very RPG like. Like how many games design a city.
"We're really in another world huh" Shield bro said with awe.
"Yeah" "Right" The spear guy and I replied.
"The wind fresh and the scenery is nice too, like those pictures you see in those travel brochures." Said the shield bro, which I replied with an absent minded "Yeah"
"Have you ever left japan before?" The bow kid asked with amusement in his tone.
"Not really." Shield bro answered.
"In my case, just on business trips with my parents so I'm usually stuck on the hotel, though those are back when I was a middle school student." I replied.
"Judging by the winds coming in, I think it's similar to the blows on the beach." The sword kid said. Shield bro just laughed awkwardly at his words.
"Forgive me for having so little knowledge."
I just noticed it now, but we're summoned in our casual clothes. I'm really glad I slept in my casual wear. It would be embarrassing to be summoned in a plain T-shirt and boxers.
And so, we walked towards the throne room in silence.
{{ Hero of the Wand }}
"So these kids are the Legendary Holy heroes huh." An old man in kingly garb said from his throne. I don't like the way he talks to us.
"I am the king of Melcromarc, Aultrcray Melcromark XXXII. Introduce yourselves, heroes."
"My name's Amaki Ren. 16 years old, and high school student."
The sword kid, Amaki Ren is definitely a handsome guy, what's more, if you put him in women's clothes, he'll definitely pass as a girl. He' kinda short. About 5'2" I think. He seems aloof, his hair is black and cut short and he's pale, something that's common with otaku or gamers. Overall, he gave off a kirito vibe. The cool, aloof swordsman vibe.
"I guess I'm next. My name's Kitamura Motoyasu. I'm 21 and a college student."
The spear guy, Kitamura Motoyasu, came off as a light hearted individual. He's handsome too. He's about 5'6" in height and his blonde hair was pulled into a ponytail. I don't know why but for some reason, I get the impression that he's like a womanizer kind of guy. Well, let's hope he won't attract yanderes with his charms. He'll end up dead.
"Ok, I'll go next. Kawasumi Itsuki, 17 years old and a high school student."
The bow kid, Kawasumi Itsuki, gives of the impression of a gentleman musician. Somehow stylish, somehow resolved, yet still giving off a childish vibe. He's the shortest of us at 5'1" his light brown, almost yellowish hair is wavy. He seems like a gentle kid.
"I'll go next. Iwatani Naofumi, 20 years old and a college student"
The Shield bro, Iwatani Naofumi, is about the same height as Motoyasu, with spiky black hair and green eyes. His somewhat pale complexion led me to believe that he too, is either an otaku or a gamer. That or it's his natural complexion. The guy's nice too and a bit carefree.
"…. I guess I should introduce myself. Yamamoto Yuuki. Age: 20, a college student."
I can only describe myself as average. Average in build and 5'6" in height. My hair is naturally spiky and any efforts to tame it is useless. My eyes are also blue. It turns out, my grandpa is an American so I probably inherited it from him. I also have pale skin due to lack of outside activity. A side effect of being a gamer and an otaku and newbie game developer.
"So Ren, Motoyasu, Itsuki, and Yuuki, correct?"
"Your grace, you're forgetting me!" Iwatani-san interjected.
"Ah, yes, pardon me Mr. Naofumi."he doesn't look sincere as he said that. I guess the authority of the king lets him be like that.
By the way, what's up with the weird gaze of these nobles (I guess)? Its like they're in the presence of something unpleasant.
"Now then, I shall begin with the explanation. This country, this whole world is on the brink of destruction."
The king began with a regal tone. Still while the situation matches up with the Light Novel, there's some difference. Namely, this scepter I hold. Should I take it as this meaning I should ignore the sequence of the novel? I only read up to 5 volumes…..
Moving on, to summarize what the king said, apparently, there was a prophesy about the end of the world. The waves, described as an anomaly in the sky that spawns armies of monsters, will invade the world over and over again. Unless repelled, the world would be doomed.
The prophesy itself is from ancient times, but the time it spoke of is apparently now. There was also a large hourglass that signals the start of a wave. Apparently, its sand began falling a month ago and according to legends, the waves would come in monthly intervals.
Also, apparently, the first wave already happened a month ago and this country's adventurers and soldiers successfully repelled the wave, but took heavy casualties and worse, the waves will only grow stronger. Hence the decision to summon heroes.
"We underestimated the waves and now, we know we're left with no choice but to summon you heroes." The king said, finishing his explanation.
They must have been skeptical about the old prophecy, back when the hourglass started functioning, only to be proven wrong. They now know how bad the situation is. And so, they summoned us a bit too late.
On a side note, This part still follow the plotline of the story of the four cardinal heroes.
It's something I noticed halfway the explanation but even though we're from another world, we can understand their words and they can understand ours. It's probably either they speak the same language as us or these legendary weapons translate both ways for us.
"I understand. But don't tell me we won't get anything in return after being brought here." The sword kid aggressively said. I looked at him long and hard.
This kid… do you really want to die? That's the king you're talking to you know? Why are you trying to piss off the king of this country, inside his own castle too. One order is all it takes for the knights to swarm you, you know?
"Of course not. We will give due rewards when the waves are eradicated." The king's said.
All heroes, me excluded suddenly pumped their fists in celebration. Negotiations complete I guess?
"Naturally" The king continued. "I've made arrangements to support you financially, and also to provide you with whatever you may require, as thanks for your efforts in our behalf."
"I'll go. As long as you keep your promise, it's fine by me."
"Don't think you bought us off. As long as you don't become my enemies, I'll help you out though."
"Agreed."
"Me too."
"I'm fine with those terms."
Motoyasu-san, Ren, Itsuki, Naofumi-san and I respectively said.
Still, does the first three have to speak that way to the king? We're in his turf you know? Or did the title of hero already got into their heads?
"Now then, Heroes. Please confirm your status and give yourselves an objective evaluation" The king ordered.
Status? What status?
"Excuse me, but how are we supposed to evaluate ourselves?" Naofumi-san asked.
Ren suddenly sighed, like he was bothered by being forced to do something he would rather not.
"You mean to say you all haven't figured it out yet? Didn't you realize it the moment you arrived here?"
"Just say it already." I said. Just get to the point you idiot. He just glanced at me and continued.
"Fine. Do you see any floating icons in your peripheral vision?"
Now that he mentioned it, I do.
"If you saw those, focus your mind into that icon"
I followed the instructions and was rewarded with a soft 'ping', like a menu on a smartphone app or computer, and the icon suddenly expanded.

"Level 1? I'm worried." Itsuki said.
"Yeah. We can't fight the waves at this level." Motoyasu agreed.
As expected. We're level 1. Just like the heroes from the light novel.
"What you're probably seeing is the Status magic, a magic exclusive to the heroes." The king spoke, seeing that we opened the status table.
"So, what are we supposed to do now?" Ren asked.
Level grind. Obviously.
"You guys are going to travel and take on adventures in order to grow stronger and strengthen the legendary weapons." The king answered.
"Strengthen? These legendary weapons aren't strong from the get-go?" Itsuki asked.
"That is correct. The summoned heroes must raise their legendary weapons by themselves. That is how they will get strong according to legends." The king answered.
"We aren't strong from the beginning huh. And to top it off, I don't even have a weapon." Naofumi-san complained.
"Why not try using another weapon instead? At least until you can use that properly." Motoyasu-san suggested.
"You'll unlock abilities in due time. For now, the most important thing is to master our skills" Ren said.
"That and level up. We can't fight the waves at this level." Itsuki added.
"So Level up, Get skills, Get proper equipment. I doubt our clothes can protect us from monsters." I said, getting the others to nod in agreement.
"So should we go together and level grind? Naofumi-san asked.
"Please wait, Heroes-sama" The noble who seems to be the king's aide suddenly spoke. "You five must form different groups to go on an adventure."
"Why?" Itsuki asked.
"According to the legends, the legendary weapons will interfere with each other should you form a party. Both your weapons and yourselves can only grow stronger when you're apart from one another." The king answered.
This wasn't in the light novel. The four heroes are in one party in the light novel. This is the second difference now.
"We can't level up if we're in the same party huh. That's a shame." I muttered. Suddenly, a notice appeared in my vision.
{{ Attention! }}
[ The Legendary Weapons and their owners will experience adverse effects if they're in the same party. ]
{{ Caution! }}
[ It is preferable if the Legendary weapons and their owners work separately. ]
This world really feels like a game. VRMMO games must be like this in the future, fusing the game world and reality. Still, this world is a bit too game like.
"So we'll have to find our own party members huh." I mused.
"There is no need for that. We will find and prepare party members for you. In for now, you should rest and prepare for a trip tomorrow." The king said.
That's one problem off the list, I guess.
One of the ladies approached us. Is she an aide of the king or a noble?
"This way please, we have rooms prepared for you."
I guess she's another aide.
{{ Hero of the Wand }}
The lady led us to our rooms but Itsuki wants to talk so we ended up having a meeting in his room. The servants were quick to notice this and set up some chairs, a small table, dinner and drinks for us.
"They really treat is well for being heroes huh." Motoyasu began as the servants left. " The maids are pretty cute too" did I mention those servants are dressed in maid attires?
"The food tastes strange but it's fine too." Itsuki said.
"The drinks are nice too." I said, taking a sip of the wine.
"This world really looks like a game." Naofumi-san said. It seems he's still messing around with the status menu.
"I agree. This world looks like a VR game." I added.
"Well, I think it may actually be a game. Emerald Online to be precise." Motoyasu-san said.
Huh! A game you say? But I never heard of that game before….
"I'm a pretty hardcore otaku, but I never heard of that game. I played games like Odin Online and Fantasy Moon Online, both are pretty famous." Naofumi-san replied.
"Never heard of those."
"I never heard of those games before." Itsuki began. "I think it's a 3D console game. The title is Dimension Wave."
"You three are wrong. This is more like the VRMMO game, Brave Star Online" Ren countered.
"I'm pretty sure the VR tech is still in the early stages. There's no VR games as of now." I dryly said, drawing nods of agreements from Itsuki, Motoyasu-san and Naofumi-san. "Still, I'm sure this was a game themed light novel, The Story of The Five Cardinal Heroes." I said. I replaced the 'four' with 'five' because I don't want unnecessary questions.
"What a lame title" Mototasu-san commented and I shrugged in response. I'm not the one who made that title you know? " Online games are either in console or PC you know? VR games aren't made yet, as Yuuki said." He said to Ren who seemed confused.
Still, all these famous titles and we're in disagreement. What's up with that?
"PC? Console? What kind of antique games are you talking about? All online games are VRMMO now." Ren insisted.
Huh? ALL games in VR?
"Cut the sci-fi crap. The VR tech isn't ready for stuff like VRMMO yet." Motoyasu-san countered.
"Huh!?" Ren nearly shouted in surprise.
Still, if he's familiar with VR, that explains how he figured out the status magic.
"We're all disagreeing about this. Are we even from the same world?" I jokingly asked.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
All of us fell silent as we all realized something…
"Ok. How about we try to answer some common sense questions?" Naofumi-san suggested after a few moments of silence.
"Sure"
"Yeah"
"Okay"
"Go ahead"
Ren, Motoyasu-san, Itsuki and I respectively answered.
"Name the current president of japan." He asked.
The result: we have different answers.
"Who's the commander of the army!?"
"What's the title of the #1 game in the internet!?"
"Who won the war against the west!?"
"What is the name of the prime minister!?"
"What is the current year!?'
And so, we tried. Again and again we asked each other questions from different topics. And yet, we always say different things.
We took a few moments of silence to properly digest this shocking info.
Itsuki spoke, breaking the silence. "It seems we came from different version of japan"
"I was just joking when I said that. . . ." I muttered.
"Nothing's the same huh. No matter what we ask." Ren mused.
I'm shocked about that too.
"I would've never imagined there would be multiple versions of japan." Naofumi-san said as he plopped on the couch.
"Yeah. I just assumed we're from different regions, not from different worlds." Motoyasu-san said.
At least, there's something common in all of us.
We're all otaku.
"Hey, I'm curious, what are you guys doing before you were summoned?" I asked. It's not really important right now, I just wanted to know if we're summoned in a similar manner.
"What about you?" Itsuki asked.
"I was reading The Story of The Five Cardinal Heroes on my bed and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was here." I answered.
"Same here, I was on the library, reading The Records of The Five Holy Weapons and fell asleep. Next thing I know, I was here." Naofumi-san said.
The title of the book he read seems similar to mine with some differences. Mine is four his is five. Mine is about the heroes themselves. His, from what I can tell from the title, is about the weapons and their respective heroes.
If a weapon has a legend, then there has to be a wielder.
I was about to think about it more but…..
Yeah. Parallel Worlds.
…. You three, what's up with the cold looks?
"….I tried to save a friend from a murderer. I was stabbed." Ren explained in a cold tone.
Ouch. ,"Sorry for asking."
"….I was on my way back to school. I was crossing the road but a truck came screaming around at full speed…" Itsuki left off, his tone as cold as Ren's.
Double ouch. "I'm really sorry for asking."
This kid is another victim of Truck-kun.
"I was stabbed to death by my girlfriend…" Motoyasu-san said his tone also cold as ice.
Still….
"Let me guess, you cheated on her." It's not a question, but a statement. And judging by that sudden flinch from him, I totally nailed it.
I want to say sorry, but he definitely deserved it.
Girlfriends don't stab their boyfriends to death for no reason.
Just how angry she was to stab you to death?
Wait.
Perhaps this guy….
"…..How many?" I asked. He turned away, it's clear he understood what I'm talking about, and spoke one word.
"Many."
Yup. This guy's a womanizer. Totally deserved it.
"Ahem. So any thoughts about your Legendary weapon?" I began, ending the cold stares. "Mine's a Scepter and I'm classified as the Wand Hero… despite this thing being a scepter, so that should mean I'm the mage. That also means Magic Attack is my highest stat and like the common RPG theme, my health is somewhat low. Just 100."
That seems to successfully end the depressing topic earlier.
Itsuki followed my lead and spoke. "I'm classified as the Bow Hero and mine is obviously a Bow. In RPG terms, that should mean I'm the hunter or perhaps, rogue. As an archer, my highest stat is Physical Attack and my health… I think it's average at 130. I think I'm geared to do heavy damage on critical hits"
Ren followed next. "I have the sword and I'm classified as the Sword Hero. Most likely, I'm the warrior in RPG roles. As a swordsman, my highest stat is Physical attack and my health is 130. Just average I think. My stats are geared towards dealing constant damage."
Motoyasu-san followed next. "Me, I have this spear and my class is Spear Hero. I guess in RPG roles, I'll be the assassin, stat wise. My Physical Attack and Speed are pretty high but my health is average, I guess, at 120. My stat setup can fall on different roles but I think this will do wonders on pursuit."
Naofumi-san spoke last. "Mine's a shield and I'm classed as the Shield Hero. My role, game wise, can only be tank. Physical and Magical Defense are my highest stat and my health is 150. There's just one problem. My attack is shit."
"How shitty?" I asked.
"1. My Physical attack is 1." I winced. It might as well be zero. If this world operates like a game, the defense stat will surely block that shitty attack power.
"As expected of the shielder class, I guess." Motoyasu-san said. "In Emerald Online, that class has amazing defense and health, the offensive power is hideously low. So low you might as well be a walking punching bag. The class itself was even announced to be removed. That should tell you how bad it is."
"That's also the case in Brave Star Online, although there are some players who make alternate accounts that uses that class in raid events. The shielder may be a hard to use class but with a proper party, they do make for an excellent tank. At high levels, they get so hard to kill that the recommended way of dealing with them is to stack poison on them over and over again and even then, you have to make sure to offset their natural health regeneration as they tend to heal pretty fast." Ren commented.
"The shielder class was removed in Dimension Wave, so I know nothing.." Isuki spoke.
"I don't know of any games that has classes that could only use shields." I also commented.
Well, there's the shielder class of Grand order but the sheer difference in size of the shields (Kohai's a huge tower shield while Shieldbro's quite small) made it meaningless.
"Anyways, all of you seemed familiar with this world to a certain extent." Naofimi-san said.
"You should be too, aren't you reading a book about this world before you were summoned?" I asked. Naofumi-san just laughed awkwardly.
"I just skimmed the book"
"You got unlucky in that regard huh." Well, he never knew he would be summoned in a fictional world after reading that book. And I really should go to my room now. It's pretty late. "I'll go back to my room and sleep. You should do the same. We'll be level grinding tomorrow."
"Yeah."
"Sure."
"Well, this is my room…"
"Okay."
{{ Hero of the Wand }}
Lying on the king sized bed of my room, I let my thoughts drift to these absurd events.
I was just reading a novel. I fell asleep. Boom!. I'm in a RPG fantasy world.
They called me, us, Heroes.
I have this so called Legendary Holy Weapon, The Legendary Wand…. That is a Scepter.
And tomorrow we're going on an 'adventure'
And strangely enough, aside from shock and surprise, I feel nothing else. I know I should be nervous or something, being thrust into this fictional world with nothing else but my incomplete and faulty knowledge of this world but I totally feel nothing. Like this was just natural.
And I have my family back on my world too.
And can we even go back to our world?
These waves of calamity, how long will it last?
So many questions, yet no answers.
For now, I should focus on the things in front of me.
I'll survive these waves first. I'll find my way back after.
That I can promise.
{{ Hero of the Wand }}
{{ End }}
AN: This felt easier to write than my other story, HSDxD: My New Journey. That might be because unlike New Journey, where I have to make everything from scratch, this one has to start like canon. Only with one major difference.
The fifth holy weapon.
After I watched shield hero, I was like: ok so Sword = warrior, Bow = Archer, Spear = ?, Shield = Tank.
Where's the mage!?
And so, this fic was born.
As for the pairing, no plans for that yet.
For now, I'll read the light novel. I'm done with the anime and the web novel so I'll finish the LN first before I write another chapter.
Tell me what you guys think.
