Welcome to the world of the brave. You have been summoned to this world by the Great Secret Art, the Summoning of the Brave.
I ponder the meaning of that word for a moment.
Summoning the hero.
It's a common development in anime, light novels and manga.
It's the so-called "otherworldly summoning".
It is true that I have fantasized about going to another world, but when it happens in reality, there is nothing but confusion.
I mean, is this situation real? I thought you were dreaming.
If it's real, though, it's hard to explain it unless you consider that you were summoned to another world.
The woman wearing the robe continues to speak further.
''My name is Meme, a sorceress serving the Kingdom of Arbus. This country is currently in a crisis, and if we don't do something about it, it will fall into ruin. Therefore, I received a royal order and summoned you all by summoning heroes.......strange.
The meme then begins to explain in detail.
It is said that there are many races such as elves, dwarves, and orcs living in this world, and that these races compete for the limited land and fight wars all year round.
It seems that the human race is losing so many battles that their territory is decreasing so much that it's only a matter of time before they are destroyed.
So, in order to get out of this predicament, Meme asked us to fight for them.
I've been asked to fight, but there's no way I can do it, and how come we're communicating in the first place? And anyway, I had a lot to say, but I couldn't say anything.
I couldn't say anything, but the blonde punk, glaring at the meme.
"You've got to be kidding me! Let me go now!
I said threateningly.
Even with that threat, the meme didn't change her expression.
'I'm sorry. It's not possible at this time to return to the world.
That's what I said.
After that, the meme tells the reason why it can't be returned, it can't be done.
According to the story, it seems that a return target is set for the heroes, if they achieve it, they are automatically returned to the original world, but if they don't achieve it, they can never return.
By the way, the goal of return is the revival of the human territory.
It seems that the original human territory was dozens of times larger than the current one, and if you can get them all back, you can return to the original world.
I wasn't convinced, but I couldn't complain.
The delinquents said, "Don't be silly! I'll kill you! He complained for a while, but was patiently persuaded to quiet down once he was persuaded.
''Then I'll let you all find out what your limit levels are.
Meme said.
'Marginal levels?' What's that?
The delinquents ask back.
The level is a number that can be raised by fighting and training. Level is a number that can be raised through training and combat. If you raise your level, your status will increase and you will gain skills and become stronger. You cannot raise your level infinitely. There is a limit to what you can raise at birth. That is your limit level.
It's something like a game about levels and stats.
'Those who are summoned as heroes will have a much higher limit level than ordinary ones. Therefore, they are able to use their powerful power. By the way, those summoned as heroes have their first level at half of their limit level.
Hmm. So they called us in.
Well, let's check. With the level search spell, it's really easy to check your level.
The meme is called a "level search" and tries to find out the marginal level of blonde defects. Then.
'Oh! You succeeded in summoning him!
A loud man's voice rang out.
A middle-aged man, dressed in some gorgeous clothes and wearing a crown, entered the room.
''Your Majesty the King!''
Everyone present should be knocked on their heads.
That old man looks like the king of the land.
Good, good. More importantly, these young men are the ones who will save our country, aren't they?
'I'm not sure why, but six people were summoned. We're just about to check their limit levels now.
Good, the more the merrier! I'm getting excited.
The King sits on his throne.
'Now, let's get back on track and check the limit levels.
The meme began to examine the limit level.
'Oh! Your limit level is 99!
The meme screams in surprise.
Even those watching around him cheered.
''That's a great number. By the way, the average human's limit level is 25, and no matter how high it is, 60 is the breaking point... 99 is an outrageous number.''
Meme said happily, and began to examine the other delinquents' limit levels.
It's 95 or 98, all of which are high.
By the way, the one who got that number is a long-haired delinquent, probably the leader of the pack, and the other delinquents are looking at him with glittering eyes, saying "Yama-chan is amazing".
Next, I examine the girl's limit level.
''Hmm? 48? That's strange. It's high, but it's too low for a brave figure.
What do you mean?
When the king asked him, the meme thought for a moment.
Apparently, these four were the only brave ones and the other two were just caught up in the summons.
I concluded.
Huh? What do you mean by that?
I'm not strong enough? I mean, does that mean we can go home?
Yah, well, I was the bottom of the barrel in my former world, so it's possible that I'll have a new life, but I feel sorry for this girl, don't you?
Well, that's a shame.
'I've never seen an example like this before. I've done a bad thing, I can't let you leave and...
No, no, no, I'm sorry I did that, not you!
Well, 48 is a high enough level, so why don't you ask her to fight along with you? If you can't bring him home, you don't have a choice.
Yes.
Seriously? You can't go back, but you're going to fight? For a country in an alternate universe that I don't understand?
Well, this girl, like me, won't be the assertive type, so she might have to fight with the flow.
''Then, I know you're not a brave person either, but I'll check your limit level.
The meme takes one last look at my limit level.
''This ... is ...''
The meme looks surprised.
What is it? Did you get that great a number? And then you think.
...level one, sir.
