The figure was clothed in a dark hooded cloak that looked like it was worn out. Its facial features were hardly noticable, except for its mouth that was filled with long sharp teeth and white empty eyes that seemed to bring out fear in its prey. Minato didn't know what to do, he thought about running away but two things stopped him from doing so;One, when he was in danger, ijichi San had swooped in to save his life, even though he had no idea who he was. Leaving him alone when he was hurt gravely was a cowardly and traitorous move. Two, even if he made up his mind to abandon him, it would be impossible to out run their attacker. Minato didn't know much about the new world but judging by the way he was dressed, he guessed that it might have been a demon. And be it in a game or a movie, demons were always difficult to beat. His lack of skill and combat abilities was also a huge problem, even in his world, the weak was always bullied by the strong, and after spending just a few days
Miyano had been pacing around for the past ten minutes and the anxiety in his body kept growing and growing. They had wrapped up their training half an hour ago and to his horror, Minato was nowhere to be found. He had tried asking Bato dono about it but the old man waved off his concerns saying they were other important matters that needed his attention. After a while he gathered the heroes at the training grounds for a supposed important announcement. Ten minutes had passed and they were still waiting. The fact that Minato wasn't anywhere in sight made him even more worried. "I apologize to have kept you all waiting for so long. I had to discuss briefly with the council to decide on what to do. Miyano Sama, you asked me earlier about that Unwanted an why he wasn't at the training with you. Well the truth is, the previous Unwanted have been said to sabotage the heroes during training, doing everything to make them fail. So for you safety, I made the decision to keep him here. No
Minato jolted awake covered in sweat. He was panting hard and his heart wouldn't stop pounding in his chest. Quickly scanning his surrounding, Minato was somewhat relieved to see that he wasn't in that dark empty room anymore, though he still had no idea where he was. "What happened? How did I get here?" He asked no one in particular, running his hands through his hair as he sat up. The last thing he could member was pain, excruciating pain. The door opened gently and a guy walked in. He had long brown hair that was let down to rest on his shoulders. The droplets of water on his bare chest and shoulder indicted that he had just showered. His chiseled jaw and stubble beard gave him a mature, manly look. When he saw Minato, his expression softened and he smiled at him. "Minato kun, you're finally awake!" His voice sounded relieved and also happy as he said hat. He grabbed a stool that was by the door and sat next to him. "Tell me, how do you feel? We did everything we could to neut
"How is he now? Better?""If you are asking about the poison, well I am not sure what to tell you.""And what does that mean? Is he okay gran?"Minato smiled at Ijichi, he was always so concerned about him. It had been a whole week since he woke up and he still didn't remember anything. "The poison is still within him but it doesn't seem to be causing him any harm. It exists within his system, not mixing with the rest of him, but just existing on its own. We just have to keep watching him closely to see if anything happens.""And what about my memory?""In all honesty, I'm not entirely sure what is causing your memory blockage. But I do have a few guesses. It could be the poison from the demon's dagger. According to Ijichi, you were supposed to be dead. You being alive is a miracle that even I don't understand yet. Then also, this could be self inflicted.""What?""Yes. Sometimes when the body finds out something truly shocking, it becomes too much for it to handle and it wants to
Early the next morning, Miyano, along with three of his party members headed out for the restaurant. "Is she here yet?" He asked as they got there."No."After waiting for about twenty minutes, a lady in a hood walked in. "Nana San, good morning." She said as she sat by the counter. "Mitsuri San, morning."Upon hearing her name, Miyano approached the hooded lady at the counter. "Good morning." He said as he sat next to her. She looked up at him and for a moment, it felt like she couldn't stop staring. He had black silky hair that fell freely on his shoulders and his eyes….it felt like she had never seen eyes so beautiful in her life. "G-good morning." She swallowed hard, suddenly feeling nervous. Mitsuri was never one to talk to people, but she found herself thinking of what to say to the handsome stranger. "Uh I–""My name is Miyano, I'm one of the seven heroes." He noticed a slight frown on her face after his introduction. "I need to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind."
"Fujimura Kun! where the hell are you going this time?""For a walk, I need to clear my head.""What's there to clear when there's nothing there?" He mocked. "Just make sure you're back in time for supper, or you'll have yourself to blame." "Yes, Yamaguchi Sama."Fujimura Minato was an orphan, he didn't know how his parents died, or if they were even still alive. He grew up in the community home for children but he was framed for committing an offense he didn't, he got kicked out. Ever since, he had been struggling to make a life for himself. "Fujimura Kun, are you leaving the mansion?""Yes, Fumiko San.""Just a minute." The older woman walked back into her little room, returning a few seconds later with a single cupcake. "Happy birthday. I know it isn't much, but it's all I have.""Thank you very much." Minato accepted the treat with an eager smile. "It means a lot to me.""Aw, that's good to hear. Well I'm headed off to rest, an old woman like me needs to sleep a lot.""Rest well
As Minato plummeted to his death, he noticed a bright light that almost looked like a flashlight, but then it got bigger and brighter until it was big enough to fit a grown adult. The light was bright– brighter than anything Minato had ever seen before– and he had to close his eyes to avoid being blinded by it. For a brief moment, he noticed that he had stopped falling. It felt like he was frozen in mid air, but it only last a second, no, it was more like half a second. The light began to move in a spiral and Minato was sucked up into it. The second his body entered the light, he felt a burning sensation but that only lasted a second before it stopped. It felt like his body was moving in different directions at the same time, filling him with an immense sense of nausea. He couldn't see anything but white light for about ten seconds then all of a sudden, he felt himself on a hard surface. "Ugh, what the hell was that?" He ran his hands through his hair, trying to make sense of what
Minato could hardly believe his ears. Not only was he summoned to another world, it turned out that he was unwanted there as well. Just how pathetic could he be? "What is an Unwanted?" The cool guy asked, staring at Minato. "Well it has been said that once in a while, an extra is summoned along with the seven heroes. This extra is completely irrelevant and never makes any meaningful contribution to the progress of the mission." The bald man explained. "On some occasion, the Unwanted ends up joining forces with the darkness, antagonizing the heroes." The other man added. "Young man, why are you here?" 'Why am I here? Why was he asking like I had any choice? It's not like I intentionally came to their world. I'm still having a hard time taking in all they had just said, and now I'm an Unwanted?' "Just a second ago you said it has never happened before. So how come you're able to give such a detailed explanation?" The cool guy asked again, getting their attention off Minato. "We
