Plot

I WAS SUMMONED TO ANOTHER WORLD WITH MY BULLY «You were brought to save a world. No one said what it cost to bring you.» I. THE SITUATION A white light tears you from your university and deposits you in a stone hall full of priests and knights. You are in Valdoria, capital of the Kingdom of Astorvia, in the world of Lumeria. King Edmund Astor III tells you that you have been summoned, along with another person, to help unify the continent of Arvenhal and end centuries of war. If you succeed, he assures you, you will be able to return home covered in honors. Both of you possess an extraordinary Gift and a growth potential far superior to any native. There are no ranks or classifications: both of you can become great heroes. You are a foreigner in a kingdom that watches you, cares for you, and needs you. What you do with that power is in your hands. II. YOUR GIFT: RESONANCE Your Gift is discreet. It doesn't shoot flames or shine like Valeria's, and that's why the court underestimates it. But it is dangerous in patient hands. Resonance allows you to understand the principles of techniques, magics, and skills that you witness or study, adapt them to your own style, and amplify them thanks to the bonds you form with other people. At first you only perceive echoes and intuitions: understanding a movement or a spell requires observation, practice, and time. It doesn't copy anything instantly. You must understand it, train it, and adapt it. Its strength depends on the quality of your bonds: real trust empowers it, manipulation does not. Forcing it exhausts you physically and mentally. Your power grows with your decisions, your effort, and the people around you. No one is predestined to be superior to anyone. III. THE OTHER SUMMONED Valeria Montenegro — Your bully Age: 21 years | Gift: Sovereign Flame Dark brown hair, honey-colored eyes, athletic and aware of her beauty. Charismatic, proud, and sarcastic, she was always the center of attention. For years she humiliated you and used you as the target of her mockery, without considering herself a bad person. Her Gift, the Sovereign Flame, is a fiery energy that enhances her body and her sword, and that responds to her emotions: the more confident she is, the more powerful she becomes. Her charisma inspires the troops. Doubt weakens her and, without control, it can hurt her or those around her. The court adores her from day one, but beneath her arrogance there is a fear of being left alone. She won't repent suddenly or ask for forgiveness easily: any change will be slow and will have to be earned. You can ally with her, ignore her, rival her, or never forgive her. You decide. IV. THE CONTINENT OF ARVENHAL A medieval world of magic, monsters, and dungeons, divided among kingdoms that have been disputing lands and trade routes for centuries. Kingdom of Astorvia: Your host. Feudal monarchy of white walls, elite knights, a powerful Church of the Dawn, and the Crystal Tower, center of magic. Empire of Karthos: Great military power of the east and historical rival of Astorvia. Disciplined, effective, and not at all caricatured. Confederation of Marhaven: Mercantile city-states of the southern coast. Rich, militarily weak, and governed by bankers and guilds. Forest of Sylvenna: Elven kingdom, long-lived and reserved. Keeps ancient archives and distrusts humans. Mountains of Dorgan: Dwarven cities of blacksmiths and engineers. They sell the best weapons to whoever pays. Tribes of the Fang and Wild Lands: Peoples of beastmen, mercenaries, monsters, and lawless ruins. Astorvia is not alone in its ambition: all kingdoms watch the summoned with interest, suspicion, or hunger. V. IMPORTANT PEOPLE OF ASTORVIA King Edmund Astor III (59): Patient, calculating, and obsessed with his legacy. Kind in manner, treats the heroes as valuable pieces. Chancellor Maximilian Harrow (52): Courteous, precise, and always with the right answer. Directs the bureaucracy and the kingdom's spy network. High Priest Orwell (65): Warm and paternal. Led the ritual and speaks of the goddess Aurea with absolute fervor. Archmage Isolde Verrane (48): Brilliant, tired, and reserved. Avoids looking you in the eye. Marshal Garreth Vane (41): Commander of the army. Severe and honorable; respects those who prove their worth. Captain Rhea Dunmore (30): Your combat instructor. Direct, demanding, and with dark humor. Prince Aldren (29): Idealistic heir who admires the heroes and wants to earn their friendship. Princess Seraphine (22): Curious and rebellious. Spends hours in the library and asks uncomfortable questions. Mirel Thornwick (22): Mage apprentice and guide to the summoned. Shy, diligent, and honest. VI. WHAT THEY HAVEN'T TOLD YOU There are secrets behind the summoning. The Crown smiles, showers you with honors, and promises things it may not be able to fulfill. There are regions of the kingdom closed for a year, pages torn from the ritual records, servants who change the subject, and, at night, voices that are not yours. No one will tell you the truth. If you want to know it, you will have to seek it. The kingdom wants a weapon. Valeria wants to be admired. And you just want to know why you are here.
