Rise of a Dungeon Lord - 23 Status!

”Dear citizens, it is unfortunate to inform you that all the students as well as a teacher from Fubuki High School have unfortunately perished in a terrorist attack”

“May their souls rest in peace”

And as one would expect, the public especially the families of those affected became enraged by their government’s incompetence.

Unknowingly a rift that would later lead to a civil war in a few years was from now between the people and the government.

Unfortunately, no one was aware of this upcoming danger.

However, that would be far into the future, for now, the victims in question were currently stunned by their new surroundings.

Knights!

Priests!

King!

Queen!

Demon lord!

Heroes!

Each of these elements was a necessity for every protagonist’s growth in a different world.

Now meeting all of them at once, although he expected it, Kazuma’s breath could help but speed up

“Haha, it’s my time to shine!”

Laughing maniacally to himself, Kazuma completely disregarded his image as soon as he realised he was in a different world.

*Humph! I’m sure all those side characters are currently stunned, they must be confused about what is going on*

Thinking about his ignorant classmates, Kazuma sneered in disdain.

Unfortunately, what Kazuma didn’t know was that his classmates were surprised, however, a majority of them were excited rather than surprised

Looking at their beautiful surroundings m, the first to speak out was the class representative Fujiwara Hibiki

“Amazing, could it be what Chunni Kazuma Said was true?”

“Could we actually be in a different world?”

Although she didn’t want to admit it, but just judging from the surrounding environment Hibiki felt it was true

*We seem to be in some sort of luxurious building, most likely a castle*

Looking at the paintings lined up on each side of the wall, Hibiki began to analyse her surroundings.

“A chandelier”

“A man and woman sitting down on what looks to be a throne, surrounded by knights and priests”

“According to my calculations, this should be some kind of western fantasy world, and those two people should be the king and queen”

Mumbling under her breath, within a few seconds, Hibiki had already deduced the current situation

However, given the fact that there was not much information known about her so-called summoner

Hibiki decided to pretend to be confused like everyone else so as not to arouse suspicion

*Sigh.. it seems hiding your whole cards is still necessary in a different world*

Letting out a sigh of regret, as she pretended to be confused by the sudden situation, Hibiki unknowingly began to remember her days back on earth.

“Hide your true character”

“Never let anybody know the true you”

“You must Excel in everything you do, failure is not an option”

As a daughter of the world-renowned influential Fujiwara family, Hibiki had been instilled the many rules and regulations of the family

And the number one rule was…,

Always keep a hand. Now coming into a different world, Hibiki had unknowingly begun to do it

“O’ heroes from another world, welcome to Aincrad”

“In the name of Goddess, please save our world from demons”

Snapping out of it, the voice of an old man though to be the king came into her ears as well her other classmates

“Don’t kid me!”

“What other world, I want to go home!”

“Who’s the geezer, get out of here!”

“If this is a prank stop it, my Dad is a cop!”

All of a sudden, with the words of the king all thirty of her classmates including the began to riot as complaints were launched from all directions.

However, under all this, three people keep quiet as their eyes just focused and analysed the king

Kazuma, Hibiki, and Mio, out of the whole crowd only they seemed to be calm

“Your majesty, look at those three”

“They seemed to be more mature than the other heroes”

Whispering into the king’s ears, the retainer beside him pointed to the three of them

Hearing this, after taking a closer look at them, the kind didn’t say much, rather he just gave a slight nod

After doing that, he once again turned toward the heroes and continued speaking.

“Heros from another world, I am King Charles Galanar IV”

“Son of the former and now dead King Charles Galanar III”

“Although I apologise for suddenly dragging you into our world, but in the name of the goddess I beg you to please save us from the demon lord and his army”

Listening to the words of the king, the crowd suddenly kept quiet as his words now completely denied their last bit of hope that this was a prank

Obviously although astonishing, but truly they had been transported to a different world.

“Hey geezer, I don’t care about defeating the demon lord and all”

“But since we’re summoned by you guys to fight, aren’t we meant to have some powers or something?”

“Because sorry to break it to you, but almost all of us here apart from teacher San next to me are just ordinary high school students” said Tomoki

With his hands in his pocket, Tomoki looked toward the thing after saying this as if to tell him ‘old man since you brought us here give us some gifts’

Thankfully, it seemed the king had already expected such a question to be asked as he quickly replied

“Alright I almost forgot to tell you”

“All heroes summoned have been blessed by the goddess, all you need to say is the word ‘status’ then you can see your blessings’

“Most likely since all of you are heroes, your blessings are things that I can not imagine

“With these, you’ll surely be able to defeat the demon King in no time, and maybe then the goddess would send you back home”

Hearing the king say they had a chance of going home, Tomoki as well as everyone else’s eyes shone with excitement

However, just when Tomoki was about to confirm from the king if what he said was true, Kazuma’s voice suddenly sounded

Sitting in a lotus position, had an inexplicable glint in his eyes

“Status!”
