So this is my first time writing a fanfic in any shape or form and I decided to go with the Rising of the Shield Hero except Naofumi is a female and the Spear Hero actually believes her the two are gonna get in a relationship reaaallly far down the line though there'll be tension between the two but it'll take some time before we get there.
The Spear Hero is gonna be a American raised in Miami he's gonna be a bit of a flirt and even treat certain things like a joke when he should be serious he isn't gonna laugh at slaves or something but he may try to lighten the mood.
Also I gonna mix the Manga, Anime and Light Novel into one mostly the anime and manga just so it gives more stuff to work with and I can pick and choose which parts I thought were best I will try to avoid certain things if will cause plot holes or such.
It's gonna be AU too well I mean Naofumi being a female already makes it kinda AU but some things will change and some things will be added.
I do not own Rising of the Shield Hero all rights go their respective owners.
Talking: "My heart is certain, it's more then a crush."
Thinking: 'Cause I'm frozen in motion and my head tells me to stop.'
"Just let me sleep this hangover off please."-The New Spear Hero.
A blonde young adult wakes up in pitch black abyss, he stares off into the inky void, about to call out before his head throbs in a familiar pain. He rubs his forehead with his palm before a blinding light hits him, he begins to plummet, his stomach dropping as gravity suddenly takes hold of him, bringing him hurtling to the ground; he crashes on a stone cold surface. Whispers and gasps of relief can be heard around the room. Shuffling can be heard to his left and right as three individuals begins to get to their feet with no issues, the blonde however rises his head only for the room to spin. He plants his forehead back onto the ground, his head throbbing in pain.
'I need to stop drinking so much, a dark basement is sadly not even the weirdest place I've woken up which is honestly really concerning.'
"So, are you guys going to tell us where we are?"
A voice from his left, can be heard. Excitement hidden beneath the forced indifference.
"Oh, honourable heroes! Please, save our world!"
"…Huh?"
Three peoples respond at once, the comment from the man in robes surprising them.
"Ughhh." The blonde groans, his head pulses yet again in pain, He squeezes his eyes shut as if doing so would dull the pain.
"You must have many… Spear Hero are you injured?"
The blonde grunts out, his head still throbbing. "Who the fuck is the Spear Hero?"
"Um, I think you're the Spear Hero." A soft voice can be heard to his right, concerned at the individual with his face down on the stone.
'Guess I said that aloud.' He opens his eyes and looks to his right to see an Asian girl with a shield on her arm, the girl points at him, her finger aiming at a certain object resulting in him following to find in his surprise a rather ornate Spear in his hand. He grimaces as he stares at it, thinking about how high quality the Spear is and how important it might be. 'God I hope drunk me didn't steal it, somehow I don't think these cultists really believe in community service.'
He turns his head to the left upon hearing shuffling, finding two other Asian boys; one with a sword in his hand, the other with a bow. The Spear Hero groans. 'Might as well get up or try anyway let us see how much I fucked my body downing shots.'
He attempts to raise himself with both of his hands, planting his foot under his lower stomach. He tries to stand up but the movement makes the world spin, causing him to wobble, he's about to drop to the ground before the girl on his right grabs his shoulder, helping up and keeping him stable. "Are you alright?"
He is momentarily shocked at understanding her despite speaking a another language, the shock is quickly replaced by gratitude with her helping him stand. "Could be worse I could be all by myself still struggling to stand up so thanks for that." He gives her a thumbs up, a small smirk before his lips turn into a straight line. "Wait can you even understand me?" She smiles back in response, answering his question with a nod of her head, her long jet black hair moving with the motion of her head. He hums, before he's about to comment on it one of priests interrupts this thought.
"Do you require a healer Spear Hero?" The main cultist asked with surprisingly genuine concern.
The Spear Hero tilts his head, slightly surprised at the sudden care. "...Some aspirin or ibuprofen would be nice."
They proceeded to look at him with looks of confusion which in his mind is weird as he figures they have to at least understand basic medicine but the girl with a Shield on her arm seems to answer. "I don't think these guys have any modern medicine from our world."
He sighs. "Then I'll just tough it out for the time being, ain't my first hangover, the worst part is already over." True to his word the worst part of the hangover was over... until he starts moving again.
They all seemed to relax at that. The lead cultist moves on with what he was originally saying before the Spear Hero derailed the entire conversation.
"As we were saying you must have many questions Heroes, but time is short. You are the chosen Heroes-"
The blonde snorts at the word Heroes, a few people give him a look at the noise but their attention is brought back to the head priest who continues on speaking.
" S-Summoned here by an ancient ritual. Currently, this world is teetering on the edge of destruction. We pray of you, please, lend us your power!"
Head cultist bowed after that, followed by the other cultists in the room, the Spear Hero sweatdrops at this, he slowly opens his mouth about to speak before he's interrupted by the person holding a sword. "I refuse."
"Likewise," The Bow Hero seems to be of the same mind as the Sword Hero.
"Don't you guys feel any guilt at all for bringing us here without our consent?"
The Spear Hero nods his head. "Sword kid has got a point."
"And if you send us home as soon as peace is restored, we'd have worked for nothing."
The Spear Hero puffs his lips and nods his head again at the logic.
"I won't let myself be controlled or put on a leash I rather fight then be forced into doing your bidding"
The Spear Hero brow raises, staring at the Sword Hero. "Do you even know how to use sword?"
The Sword Hero wasn't expecting that from one of the other Heroes. "Are you saying you just going to accept their demands?"
The blonde shrugs. "If I move even somewhat fast the whole room spins so I sure as shit ain't fighting." He looks at the main cultist who nods back and responds.
"W-We would like you to have an audience with the King of our country, Melromarc. We will also inform a maid to bring a health potion to help you recover."
The Spear Hero tilts his head at the word health potion but he eventually agrees to it, the mention of any drinkable liquid making his throat parched. "Hey fine by me as long as I get something to drink."
"If I get to speak with your superior then I will go along for the time being."
"I suppose we should speak to the King if we wish to negotiate for our work."
"Well, I guess I should come along too."
The head priest nods with a smile on his face.
"Please follow me Heroes." The head cultist turns around, whispering to one of the nuns by his side who nods and walks off ahead of the group, as everyone begins to leave, the Spear Hero notices the Shield Hero lagging behind.
"You good Shieldy?"
She stutters back a response. "Y-Yeah I'm fine."
"Good to hear, come on keep up I might need you to pick me up off the ground again." he replies with a chuckle, Naofumi gives a small smile and follows the rest of the group.
As they follow the head priest to the King, the Shield Hero slows down and looks out the window.
"We really are in another world, huh?"
"It would seem so."
Both the Sword and Bow Heroes were speaking to each other while the Shield Hero became distracted by the sight outside the window. Finding a town full of medieval like buildings, with trees planted in between some of the buildings. The sun shines in through the little window.
"Such a pleasant breeze… It's like the typical sales pitch in all those tour brochures." She takes in a deep sigh, the air rich as it lacks any pollution one may find in a modern city.
Everyone turns to look back at the Shield Hero.
"Wait, have you never travelled out of Japan before?"
"Going by the breeze outside, this place has your standard Mediterranean climate."
"So it's warm." The two other Heroes stare at the Shield Hero while the Spear Hero looks out the window, understanding why the Shield Hero was interested in the sight. "It's a pretty sight though, no one can deny that."
"Nice to know I'm not alone in thinking that." The Shield Hero smiles at the Spear Hero.
He grins back and winks. "Although the view isn't as good as you." The Shield Hero slowly turns red while the two other Heroes look slightly uncomfortable.
The Head Priest speaks up. "Heroes if we may continue, the King is still waiting for us."
The Heroes turn around and follow, the Shield Hero still slightly red. The Spear Hero speaks up as they walk. "Hey Brother, got a question."
The Head Priest leads the group, not faltering for a moment. "Ask Sir Spear Hero."
"Why did we get summoned in a basement of all places?"
"Easier to help you adjust to your new surroundings Sir Spear Hero."
The Spear Hero snorts. "Worked out in my benefit since waking up in a bright place would be a pain in the ass but still summoning people into a dark basement just sounds shady as fuck to be honest."
The Head Priest fidgets with his robes. "Uh... I will inform the appropriate people of your views on it."
The Spear Hero scratches his cheek. "...Maybe wear more casual and bright clothing too instead of the whole Kali Ma getup."
"Kali Ma?" The Head Priest looks back, a curious look on his face.
"Don't worry about it." The Spear Hero shakes his head and stays quiet for the rest of walk. The Heroes proceed to the King with the head priest leading the way they finally arrive and enter the throne room to which they all look around although the Spear Hero covered his eyes still sensitive to the light due to his hangover he decided to check for his sunglasses but his thoughts were interrupted as a maid approached him with some small glass filled with a green liquid.
"As requested for you Spear Hero, a healing potion, to help alleviate your pain."
He shrugs, grabbing the glass and chugging it down, the thick liquid cold as he goes down his gullet. His face cringes a bit from the taste but his piercing headache became a much more manageable dull throb.
"Thanks for that." he places the glass back onto the tray and catches up with the other Heroes waiting to speak with the King. As he walks up behind the group the sun still shines into his eyes, aggravating him. He quickly checks his pockets as he walks, finding his sunglasses, surprisingly intact with a bit of lint and sand on it.
The Spear Hero quickly gets in line right beside the Sword Hero and the Shield Hero, he gets odd looks from his fellow Heroes because of the shades, before they can comment on it, the King speaks.
"So, these people are the Four Cardinal Heroes of ancient legend?"
The blonde looks at the four standing in a straight line. 'Honestly don't blame him for questioning it a bit, no one here looks like what you would consider a Hero.' He looks up at the King. 'So he's speaking English and yet the others are speaking Japanese... or at least I think it's Japanese... It's not English that's all I can say.'
"I am the King of Melromarc, Aultcray Melromarc XXXII. Heroes, name yourselves."
The Sword Hero goes first, speaking with forced indifference. "Amaki Ren, sixteen years old, high schooler."
The Bow Hero goes next, his tone delicate and refined. "Kawasumi Itsuki, seventeen years old, and a high schooler."
The Spear Hero stares at him incredulously, his extremely short stature made him think that the boy was around King looks at the Spear Hero for him to speak to which he scratches his cheek, his tone boisterous and easy-going. "The name's Kane Stone, nineteen years old, college student."
"And lastly, me. I'm-" The Shield Hero tries to introduce herself but is instantly interrupted by the King.
"Ren, Itsuki, and Stone, huh?"
Kane tilts his head. 'Well that was rude he just straight up ignored Shieldy.' He raises his arm. "Your majesty you seem to have forgotten her." He casually points at the Shield Hero.
"Hmm? Oh, forgive me." The King barely reacts, uncaring of what he's about to hear.
Kane tilts his head, slightly off put by the actions of the King. His eyes narrow, unsure of what caused such a response.
Naofumi gives Kane a smile to which he responds with a nod. Naofumi clears her throat and moves ahead of the line to give her introduction. "My name is Iwatani Naofumi. I'm twenty, and a college student."
The King stares at her with a seemingly cold stare. He moves on, talking as if nothing just happened.
"Now… I suppose I owe you an explanation"
Naofumi gets aggravated at being ignored again.
"You're ignoring me?" Naofumi frowns, glaring at the King.
"My country, Melromarc, and the entire wo…."
Kane decides to interrupt again, uncaring about rudely interrupting a King. "At least be nice to us equally, especially if you're gonna pretty much kidnap us."
The King's eye twitches as he lets out a sigh and responds. "I... apologise for ignoring you Shield Hero but time is of the essence, you Heroes must all understand the situation so as I was saying my country, Melromarc, and the entire world is headed toward destruction."
Naofumi crosses her arms, slightly frowning. '...Dick.'
(Skip the whole wave explanation honestly it's not hard to understand but I ain't writing all of that down)
"We underestimated the Waves. Once we experienced one ourselves, we realised that only the Four Cardinal Heroes could counter them. And so, we followed the legend and summoned you four. We have no time to lose!"
Naofumi looks shocked, her eyes widening as if realisation has just smacked her across the face, Ren however hits the floor with his sword in an attempt to seem cool.
"We get the gist of it now. Anyway, surely you didn't summon us expecting us to save you for free."
A man comes forth most likely the King's advisor.
"Of course, once you repel all the Waves, we shall reward you handsomely."
Kane stares at the advisor, the man stepping forth seems rich, his clothing refined and elegant. "Could be fun despite the whole... Y'know Waves of Destruction thing."
"We'll work with you provided you don't turn on us. But don't think for a moment that you can tame us." Kane blinks at that.
Itsuki speaks, a haughty and confident tone in his voice. "Exactly. We can't have you looking down on us."
Kane chuckles. 'Very poor choice of words.' The sound of his small laughter draws the other Heroes' attention to him. Kane waves them off, making up a excuse for his laughter. "Don't mind me, just remembering a joke from a TV show."
Naofumi was looking at Kane, wondering what's making him chuckle, she looked at the other two Heroes and grimaced at how arrogant they were acting. " R-Right."
The King asks all the Heroes present. "I trust we have an agreement. Then, Heroes, you should all check your statuses."
Naofumi asks the King what a status is, Itsuki seems confused as well until Ren decided to inform everyone what it was although he did so in an arrogant manner "What's wrong with you guys. It should've been the first thing you noticed in this world.
"Are you going to keep us in suspense, or will you just tell us?"
Ren replied, "Don't you see an icon in the corner of your field of vision?"
Kane looks at all the heroes "Wait y'all see an icon? I thought I was hallucinating." The Heroes ignore him and proceed to look in the corner.
Naofumi confirms it. "You're right. There it is."
Ren follows up with another instruction. "Try focusing on it."
"Like this?" Naofumi steps back in surprise due to a menu appearing in her vision. The rest of the Heroes open up their statues.
Itsuki speaks up "Level 1? That's worrying."
Kane sighs, Naofumi asks him if it's that bad, Kane's response wasn't what she was expecting. "Too many icons and numbers my brain can't handle this clusterfuck at the moment."
The two other Heroes gave a small laugh except for Ren who spoke his mind. "We will need to strengthen ourselves."
Naofumi asks the King and the man stands alongside him "What's all this anyway?"
The man beside the King responds. "Status Magic, an ability exclusive to the Heroes."
Ren follows up. "So what are we supposed to do?"
The man alongside the King continues. "You must leave on an adventure to develop and upgrade the legendary weapons that you have equipped."
"They aren't maxed out of the box? Wait, mine isn't even a weapon." Naofumi says with a slight tone of annoyance.
"This Spear is pretty fucking dope, wonder if I can get a doubled sided Spear, like Darth Maul or something." Kane said with a smile on his face twirling the spear around.
"We can figure that out as we go. Anyway, it looks like we ought to train ourselves." Ren said with a frown on his face.
"We'll have to level up as much as we can." Itsuki said with a slight tone of annoyance.
"Then if we form a party…" Naofumi was interrupted by the man standing beside the King.
"One moment, Heroes. You will each recruit and adventure separately." Itsuki asked why and the man follows up "It is said the legendary weapons repel one another by nature." What he said seems to be true as a notification popped up for all of the Heroes.
When two or more wielders of the legendary weapons operate together, it causes an adverse reaction in the weapons. Working separately is highly advised.
The man continues. "If you work together, it apparently hinders their development."
Naofumi speaks aloud while reading the notification that pops up in her vision. "He's telling the truth, huh?"
The King speaks again. "The sun is about to set. Rest up tonight and set forth tomorrow. In the meantime, we'll gather the best of the best to form your parties."
A woman comes up and tells the Heroes "We've prepared rooms for you. Please come this way" she bows and walks off with the Heroes in tow.
Three of the four Heroes are sat around a table, Naofumi turns to the other two Heroes about to ask them a question before Kane enters the room, having returned from obtaining another of the healing potion to completely remove his headache. "Yo." A lazy smile rests on his face.
"Ah, you're back Stone." The three Heroes all look at him, he's a rather strange sight due to how every other Hero is Japanese while Kane is American. He's clearly the tallest out of all of them, standing around 6'2 with blonde hair which is styled in a undercut with the sides trimmed into a fade. He's wearing a red jacket, blue jeans, a white shirt, a pair of sunglasses, and a backpack. Kane seems to have a somewhat active lifestyle as he has decent muscle mass. His sun kissed face is somewhat attractive, it's masculine but not overtly so. In Naofumi's opinion he looked like one of those frat boy types, the kind that goes around fucking and drinking, the fact he already confirmed being hungover didn't help with that view of him, however he seems friendly enough, at least to Naofumi.
Kane proceeds to sit down and speak. "Please don't call me Stone makes me feel like I'm back at school with the principal yelling his ass off at me."
Ren looks at him with a deadpan face. "You were a troublemaker at school? Somehow I'm not surprised." Kane's response is a middle finger.
"What should we call you then?" Naofumi a hand holding up her chin.
"Just call me Kane." All the other heroes give him a look. "What? Why are all of you staring at me like that?"
Itsuki speaks up. "Stone it is considered very disrespectful to say someone's first name without knowing them very well."
Kane sees the other two Heroes give a nod "…Good thing I didn't call any of you by your first names, that would have been awkward well, call me whatever you want Kane or Stone; whichever I ain't that bothered by it."
Everyone gives a nod, Naofumi asks Kane a question "So Stone what's in the backpack?" Kane looks at her in confusion until his eyes widen when he realises, that this entire time he was wearing a small backpack, he most completely forgot about it due to him being used to weight and the more concerning things like his hangover and maybe being summoned to a new world.
"Man I somehow completely forgot about that well let's take a look at what I lost at the party." Kane takes off his bag and proceeds to open it and place the items in the bag on the table: a bottle of rum, a bottle of Coca-Cola, a box of gummies, condoms, and surprisingly a box of McDonald's chicken nuggets. "Hey sweet, chicken nuggets anyone want some?" Everyone shakes their head having already eaten just recently, Kane decides to eat one chicken nugget putting the box back on the table. Ren speaks up as he looks at a box of gummies.
"Why do you have food with you?"
Kane swallows the chicken nugget before answering "Well I mean I didn't finish my McDonald's, and that's... well it's technically food but you don't exactly eat em cause you're hungry since their you know edibles." They look at him in confusion "I... seriously? None of you know what edibles are?" they all shake their head, staring at the box with curiosity. "Right well edibles are..." He puts a finger to his chin. "Pretty much weed but in candy form, if you want to simplify it, I guess." They all looked shocked at the revelation that the Spear Hero has drugs and even how calm he is to reveal it.
The three have differing views on it but before any of them can speak on it Naofumi quickly changes the subject, while Kane puts everything back into his bag, he'll decide what to with that later. "Don't you guys think this is like a game?"
Kane snorts. "Weirdest fucking game I've ever seen, to be honest."
Itsuki responds. "It's a console game called Dimension Wave."
Ren speaks up. "What are you talking about it's a VRMMO called Bravestar Online."
Kane looks at Ren quizzically. "VRMMO? I mean VR exists, but I don't think any MMO games exist on it yet."
Ren responds. "Are you sure, Bravestar Online was very popular how can you have not heard of it?"
Kane shrugs back. "Maybe it does exist, was the game popular only in Japan or wherever you're from?"
"It was one of the most popular VRMMOs across the world"
Itsuki and Naofumi join in. "I've never even heard of Bravestar Online, the only game this is very similar to is Dimension Wave and that is on console not VR."
"I've never really heard of it either I've read about VRMMOs in light novels though but VR does exist. Maybe we're all from different time periods or something?"
Ren speaks up. "let's ask common knowledge questions who's the current Prime Minister of Japan"
"Shinzo Abe."
"Yawara Koutarou."
"Yuta Masato."
"That guy who made Takeshi's Castle."
Ren glares at Kane. "Will you stop messing around and be serious?"
Naofumi asked Kane a question. "Wait you know who Takeshi Kitano is?"
Kane tilts his head. "That's the guy's full name, the one who made Takeshi's Castle?"
Naofumi rolls her eyes. "Yes, that's his full name how do you even know about the show?"
Kane shrugs. "I watched it on TV I mean it's pretty popular even in America. You know now that I think about that show, I have never seen those contestants win once."
"I saw an episode where they won, the winners become celebrities though due to how rare it is for someone to win it."
Ren huffs. "We're getting off-topic here."
Kane leans back into his chair, takes off his sunglasses, and closes his eyes while looking at the ceiling. "Well, I don't know really anything about Japan other than stereotypes so these questions are between you three."
The three Heroes continue to quiz each other on general knowledge.
Itsuki huffs "It seems we're all from different versions of Japan well apart from Stone-San"
Ren agrees with Itsuki "Looks like it. They sound nothing alike.
Naofumi sighs while looking up. "So there are parallel world Japans out there too, huh? I wonder if you and I come from the same world Stone-san?" Kane shrugs from his position. "I can't believe you two played games that are just like this world. Well, at least I'm not the only one unfamiliar with this world" Naofumi looks ahead to find Itsuki and Ren staring at her "Huh? What is it?"
Itsuki stutters while looking at Naofumi. "W-Well, I just thought it might because you're the Shield Hero."
Ren crosses his arms. "Well, it's only natural."
Naofumi starts to get worried and quickly asks "Wh-What're you guys talking about? Is there something wrong with the shield?"
Ren begins to inform her of Shield class. "The Shield is good at the beginning, although the monster's stats get higher and eventually their attack goes the Shield defence, making it useless in the end game since you need to strike hard and fast to win before dying."
Naofumi's world is shaken by this revelation "Noooooooo! What about in your world Kawasumi?"
Itsuki looks apologetic. "Sorry."
"S-Stone-san how about you?"
Kane opens his eyes to look at Naofumi, he begins to tell Naofumi his views on the Shield.
"Shieldy…"
'I'm the weakest one that's so unfair why can't I be something cool?'
"… You're probably…"
Naofumi frowns at Kane in annoyance. '...You don't need to be so dramatic with your pauses.'
"The most important Hero here."
She blanked at that. "What?"
Ren quickly opens his mouth to refute it. "What are you talking about the shield is useless in Brave Star Online." Ren raises both his hand. "Wait, have you even played a MMORPG before?"
Kane shrugs casually. "I've played a few out of boredom, got pretty hooked on em. I even did some endgame raids and shit like that with friends, problem was no one was a tank so it made shit even harder for us." He waves his hand around in circle, motioning to Ren and Itsuki. "Us three are DPS,-" He points at Naofumi. "She's the tank."
Naofumi stares at Kane, her mood lifting. 'He's right I'm not weak I can defend my party still and my fellow Heroes.'
Naofumi's resolve shakes at what Ren said. "But this game is exactly like Bravestar Online and in Bravestar Online the shield class was useless, eventually monsters get too strong and you need to kill them fast before you die yourself."
However, Kane's words quickly embolden her. "So Bravestar Online is pretty much glass cannons the video game? And the Devs never thought to make the Shield class actually useful for tanking hits?" Ren looks off for a moment, not responding. "Yeah, maybe don't compare a group of shit Devs to some magical world we just got summoned into. She's the tank, our ONLY tank, don't shit on her just to inflate your ego."
Ren gives up arguing and crosses his arms, the two glaring at each other.
Naofumi decides to change the subject again to try and keep the peace, clearing her throat. "So how did you guys find yourselves here?"
Itsuki responds first, also wanting in keeping the peace. "I was on the way home from school, I was crossing the street before I was hit by a truck. After that I..." He looked at the ground after that. Naofumi stares at Itsuki with sympathy, while Kane grimaces at the thought of being run over, feeling bad for the Bow Hero.
Ren speaks up after. "...I was on my home from school, when I stumbled onto a murder in progress. I remember up to the point I tackled the murderer to help my childhood friend, but it goes black after that." Ren rubs his side after telling his story.
Everyone turns to Kane who shrugs and opens his mouth. "It wasn't as painful as yours. I got drunk at a party, I think I was playing Drunk UNO or something anyway I blacked out at some point and then woke up in Narnia."
Itsuki and Ren gave Kane a dirty look due to how he was summoned in the new world, but they decided to hear how the final person was summoned so they all looked to Naofumi.
Naofumi looked a little unsure. "Do I have to tell my story?"
"Yes, everyone else did."
"W-Well I was in a library… when I noticed a strange book I had never seen before. So I picked it up and started to read it and here I am."
Ren and Itsuki now give Naofumi a dirty look, both of them wondering why these two didn't have to suffer a painful death like them. Kane chuckles. "Well at least it's not as embarrassing as mine I probably died face down in a ditch somewhere." Naofumi smirks, Kane's attempting to lift the mood was appreciated by her at least.
Ren sighs. "Well, we should really all get to bed we will need the energy to go on an adventure tomorrow."
Everyone proceeds to their rooms while Kane leaves his own room to try and find a bath since he wants to wash up before he goes to sleep he spots a maid.
"Excuse me any chance I could get a bath?"
She smiles and tells the Spear Hero to follow her she takes him to an outdoor bath which was very elegant. Not very surprising considering it's part of a castle with royalty in it. Kane thanks the maid before she leaves. He proceeds to get undressed and gets into the bath while relaxing he decides to look at his stats now that his headache was completely gone. 'Stats seem to be all fairly similar, I think I'm meant to be more of an all-rounder then anything which suits me completely fine, to be honest, I always prefer being a jack of all trades rather than a master of one in games and life too I guess. Let's take a look at any skills I got:
Silver-tongued Spear Hero: Due to your easy-going and friendly personality people can't help but find you charismatic making it easier to convince people to your side whether that be making friends, making deals, or making someone give up information they wouldn't normally give, this is less effective on certain people.
Quick study: You were always a quick study when it came to things but now that the Waves are upon the world and how it's your duty to save lives and to also stop the Waves you have gotten even better at picking things up as such you can learn and performs things easier that would take others hours perhaps even days. {you should really learn how to use Spear properly}
Secret Passive Skill
Secret Passive Skill
Secret Passive Skill
'That little hint reminds me I need to find someone who actually knows how to use a spear properly best I can come up with is jab with the pointy end and hope for the best although these secret passive skills do have me giddy, wonder what they could be?'
Kane continues to bathe until he's finished to which he dries off and put on his clothes and goes back to his room to get to sleep, he gets under the covers of his bed. He sighs in satisfaction, as he lays his back onto the bed, feeling like he's resting in a fluffy cloud. "Fuck, this bed is good."
He plants both of his hands behind his head, staring up at the ceiling of the room. "A new world full of monsters and magic." He chuckles at the thought of it, the insanity of it burying his thoughts of home for the time being. 'Women here are absolute babes too, especially that Shield chick, her ass was 10/10.' Kane's smirk turns into a perverted one. He yawns into his hand, eventually, his thoughts turn to how heavy his eyes feel before it finally closes sending the Spear Hero into a deep sleep.
Bonus Scene: The odd one out.
Kane, Naofumi, Itsuki and Ren sit around a dining table. Naofumi watches Kane as he plants the fork in his mouth, the meat on the end being left in his mouth. He chews it for a bit and swallows. Naofumi still doesn't turn away, staring right at him. Analysing his entire face, trying to figure something out, her thoughts plagued by a question as she stares at him. "Enjoying your look Naofumi?" Kane's voice calls out to her, resulting in a slight blush on her face when she realises she was spotted by Kane, who stares at her by his peripherals, his lip turned upwards on one side.
She clears her throat. "S-Sorry, I just find it weird that the rest of us is Japanese but you're American..."
The other two Heroes nod, listening in. Kane tilts his head. "You got a problem with that?"
Naofumi waves her hands, attempting to dissuade Kane. "N-No! T-That's not what I meant!"
Kane gives a warm laugh. "It's cool Shieldy, I was only fucking with you, you don't seem the type to be offensive anyway."
Naofumi huffs in relief, taking the little joke on her in good humour. Ren stares at Kane, watching him. "She has a good point however, the rest of us are Japanese but you are clearly not. Is there something special about you?"
Kane gives a relaxed shrug in response, leaning in his chair. "Don't think so. Born in Tallahassee, raised in Miami. Does my great luck at Mario Party count as special?"
The three other Heroes give him a deadpan look. Ren shakes his head with a sigh. "No, it doesn't. Guess being summoned was just a random process." He goes back to eating. The others follow Ren in going back to their meals.
(21/06/2021) I've decided to add in all the bonus to a few other chapters just to give a bit more meat to the story in certain ways or to light the mood.
Honestly don't expect me to update with a schedule I was pretty bored, so I decide hey why not write down a story for Rising of the Shield Hero not like I'm doing anything else
Also since I've read a few Rising of the Shield fanfics I plan on adapting a few things from there to this story I'm not gonna straight rip it out and copy it here I'll write it in my words and try to make my own spin on it.
