Keep reviews civil, please.
I was never what you call a very sociable kid growing up, when I was in elementary school, most kids only wanted to use me, I put all my efforts into being the very best student, top of my class, and as such other people in my classes saw me as a person they could exploit for their benefit.
My parents were too busy to even notice how well I was doing in class, my dad was a mechanical engineer working at a vehicle design firm, and my mother was a college professor teaching chemical engineering. Given their professions, we hardly spent any time together, not even dinner.
If I had any passion it was VRMMO games, I loved the freedom to escape the mundane hassle of my everyday life, the fact is that I was lucky enough to start playing games after the great tragedies of Sword Art Online and of the disaster of Alfheim Online, those two games cost pain and lives to so many people you would think the VRMMO was destined to be doomed.
Years later more and more games, as the technology and programming code was offered to the public, and some companies took that opportunity to create games unlike anyone has ever seen, I was a high school student when I met my best friends in that virtual world, in a game called Yggdrasil.
The thing is by them I had become so utterly bitter against human nature that all of my friends chose to play as non-human characters, many looked like monsters but in reality, you never met a more friendly and caring group of people anywhere. Initially, it was called Nine Own Goals, it was lead by the Justice loving leader that went under the name of Touch Me.
As time went by someone else named Momonga became the leader and changed the guild name to Ainz Ooal Gown. We might not all always get along, but we considered each other friends, my name within the guild was Amanomahitsotsu and I was the player that was in charge of Crafting for our guild, considering how combat-focused our guild was, it means I ended up getting plenty of experience crafting gear, in fact, I was considered to be almost equal to our guild leader Momonga.
I gave up entirely to be social with my classmates, no reason to be when they would only want to take advantage of me, and when they finally saw that I was not going to be useful for their own needs they began to take it out on me by bullying me. If before I had reservations about not getting close to them this was pretty much confirmation that my decision was correct.
All throughout high school I had a job, my classwork and the work I did with my fellow guildmates. All in all my life was very busy, time flies when you are having fun, and thanks to my friends I didn't mind spending so much time alone in an empty house. Years went by our guild was recognized by many human character guilds as one not mess with.
In the game there were human players and non-human character players, the humans much like in the real world saw players who played with non-human characters as just another game monster, they never showed any interest at all in talking with us or even bother to realize we were not monster characters. Ainz Ooal Gown was the group that went and fought against these types of bullies that destroyed the enjoyment of the game with their narrow point of view and lousy attitudes.
Years went by and I had to admit that spending time working with my friends to give bullies a taste of their own medicine was probably the most fun I ever had in my life, sadly all good things come to an end, and Yggdrasil was no different, the server was going to shut down and that would be the end of the game.
On the day the server finally shut down, I felt so utterly miserable, so sad that I could not even turn on my Amusphere, I knew that if I saw the friends I would need to say goodbye to, even the NPC which I designed who I considered pretty much my own son, I would cry uncontrollably, both Touch Me and I tried to be heroes, and that was no way for heroes to end.
My parents didn't care either way, they were too busy getting promoted, so since I was not going to be going to play with my friends I picked one of the most competitive majors when selecting one to attend my local community college, my grades and academic achievements made it easy for me to be accepted into this major.
I was going to study to become an attorney, if my father was so busy with his work why should I follow and do the same. The requirements to study to even enter law school are nothing to sneeze at, in fact, some people would say they are simply monstrously too high, they required perfect scores in every class.
I did my best to do my very best in my classes, always, but thanks to my friends of Ainz Ooal Gown I also had learned many ways to trick if not outright deceive others, and at such everyone though I was a slacker, a person that was barely getting by this helped me immensely as nobody was going to was to use me. In truth, I had my friend Momonga for that.
My name is Hajime Nagumo, I am currently in my second year at my local community college and I and also been two years in a row member of the Honor role, I asked my professors profusely that they never expose my grade point average, and many of them were surprised since they thought someone with my grades would brag, but after I told them why most of them agreed to do me this kindness.
If there was only one student, one exception that was always kind to me even when she clearly knew that I was not going to be much help to her, was a woman by the name of Kaori Shirasaki, she was what you would call the radiant beauty of our year, and because she was always helpful to me, this made others think I was putting on airs or they wanted to show Kaori how worthless I was by making my life miserable.
Compared to what I been through these jokers had no clue on who they were messing with, nine degree black belt in Karate, Judo, and Aikido, marksman that won several championship tournament, I could have taken these bullies out and made them suffer a hundred times more of the things they were so willing to dish out.
I, however, did not, I had to think of my career, and because their reasons were childish, so I decided not to bother if anything my life was so busy I didn't want to waste my time on them at all. I actually needed to take naps between classes to make it through the day, and Kaori was the one person that was kind enough to wake me when it was time for us to get ready for the next class.
"Nagumo, why in the burning hell does Kaori spend so much time worried about a worthless pathetic bastard like you?" Well, this is a surprise coming from one of the idiots that usually used to beg me to let him copy my math homework back in high school. This particular idiot is one the band of idiots that the minute they realize I was no longer useful became a group that wanted to make my life a living hell.
This is the sort of situation that made me actually miss my friends in Ainz Ooal Gown, especially my forge. Nothing like using my blacksmith's hammer to beat every frustration I had into making something that was useful, my teacher often said steer your anger towards something productive.
Why did they have to shut down the server to Yggdrasil, it was one of the most popular VRMMO games in history, thousands of people all over the world played it. I guess no sense in crying for spilled milk. "Look Daisuke, you know that I value your opinion of me even less than I value you wasting my time, you want to barely pass your classes, that is your deal, but I have a full-time work schedule, and am a full-time student, unlike you and your pack of slackers."
"So you hate my guts, guess what? The feeling is quite mutual, so why don't you and your pack of lazy bastards go off and do the world a favor and study for once instead of bothering me? Cause I will say this again, I will never, and I mean ever share my homework with you again like you idiots used to beg me in high school, so shape up or get ready to get kicked out of this college for bad academic performance."
Daisuke looked at me with a glare, "Like you are doing any better mister taking naps in the classroom. You got no room to talk about doing lousy in class. We thought that we be nice and if we all worked together we might raise your pathetically common point average, but you are the right way to help someone so stupid he doesn't realize someone is trying to help him."
The next class was one that people focus and not for good reason, the next class was social studies and the class was about Political Science, specifically the different ways nations legislate and enforce their laws. The class to me sounded like a real page-turner, it was something that I found fascinating considering I wanted to one day be a corporate attorney.
The reason people focus so much better in this class is not the fact that the class is so interesting, no, they focus because the professor teaching it is an absolute beauty, and I mean nice personality, beautiful face, body that could put most swimsuit models to shame, and she was very kind and supportive.
The professor for my next class was Miss Aiko Hatayama, the one professor every male student on my campus wanted to sleep with. She always dressed in a nice suit, and again for some odd reason she was always nice to me, then again she was nice to everyone, but this was yet another reason why Daisuke tried to make my life a living hell.
First I had the beauty, the idol of the student body Kaori, and then I had the beauty of the teachers were so nice to me, never mind that I had yet another lovely lady that was a Kendo Major and this made many of the men in my campus hate my guts. I swear if I had a dollar for every single time someone said, "Why are so many babes always after that loser." I would be richer than Bill Gates and Steve Jobs combined.
Honestly these people need to figure out that their education is more important than trying to get some young lady to sleep with them, a relationship based solely on sex, is not a relationship that will last in the long run, but if they had focused and show that they have more to offer in the relationship, work together and learn to communicate well that relationship would last a lot longer than one based on five minutes of physical pleasure.
Right now I have two priorities in life, study, and work. Being a college student is not cheap and no matter how good the scholarship may be, it never truly covers the cost of living. All in all the only thing I truly miss is my friend of Ainz Ooal Gown, but then again they also left for the same reasons as I did, they wanted to follow their dreams.
All members of Ainz Ooal Gown had to make player characters that were not human, mainly what others called monstrous-looking characters, and we all had to be functioning, contributing members of society, we but our work and life on the line to be a member, that is how dedicated the members were, but like me they decided to follow their own goals and dreams.
Who am I kidding, had the company not shut down the server I would still be there at my forge making all sorts of weapons and armors even if I was the only one in the guild. "Hajime do you what the answer to the third question on this surprise quiz is?" I didn't need the one guy who practically all girls found looked better than a movie star asking me this.
"The answer is simple, crack open the book and read it once in a while, actually study, and maybe you would know what the answer to all those questions is. Know if you will excuse me Mr. pop star, I am also working on the same quiz so shut up and let me do that."
He didn't move away, "Man, you don't have to be like that, I am only trying to let people see that you are a nice guy and salvage what little chance you have of actually getting a friend or two. Who knows even a common, average student like you might even get a girlfriend." To that say it is bullshit.
Mister Popularity here what he really is after is the fact that if he fails this quiz his popularity with those around him might lower, the star might dim, he would be exposed as the lazy guy he actually is. When he said he was doing it to help me get friends, I call that double bullshit since Daisuke is one of his best friends, and he has done nothing to stop his emotional and verbal bullying of me, ever.
As we all handed the papers of our quiz, the ground began to shake and our of nowhere I saw what seemed to be a massive flash-bang bomb go off, the explosion was so large I had to close my eyes, only hearing all the screams of shock from the people in the class. In a matter of seconds, we fell down on what feels like to be a massive cathedral.
All fifty of my class including our professor was on this massive marble floor, the structure looked like an ancient cathedral with stained glass windows with intricate designs. That is when a man looking a lot like you would expect a wizard would look like, long white beard, dressed in robes, except now that I look at him he looks more of a bishop than a wizard.
"Oh, great heroes you have been summoned by the All-Mighty Ehit, to save humanity from ever-dangerous demons, please heroes save our people from the monstrous demons and usher an age of peace after thousands of years of constant war."
OK, generic doesn't begin to describe what I just heard, a tremendous load of crap would be a better description, thousands of years of constant war, are you kidding me? Demons, and humans fighting each other for who knows how many thousands of years and they never once realized that I don't know, diplomacy is a thing that could be useful? Develop better battle tactics or something!
That is when I realized the bishop was not the one that said it, it was the person seated at this massive throne behind the bishop that actually said those things. It is still crap, except that now I know it was more like royal crap.
Professor Hatayama was the first person to walk towards the throne, "Look I am the professor of these young people here, and as such I am responsible for them, what I want from you is to send us back this instant, not one of us asked to be summoned to this place, and no one wants to fight a war that has nothing to do with us."
Please don't tell me some of these morons are thinking that this place is a game, I heard stories of the few survivors of SAO that many people died because they had that very same stupid idea. Well you are not going to catch me being that delusional, I was wrong this is not a cathedral at all, this is the throne room of a massive castle.
I know this place is real, as real as the pain I felt when my ass hit the marble floor. "Miss Hatayama I wish I could grant your request, honestly I do, but we were not the ones that summoned you here, it was the All-Mighty, the One True God, our benevolent God Ehit that summoned you and only he can return you back to your world."
"But fear not, we know that many of you have no idea what is going on, or feel that you are not prepared to do what God has asked of you, we are prepared to help you in any way possible, we shall educate you so that you can do what you been called to do, we shall provide you with everything you need, armor, weapons, medicines, we will even give you what little food we have. Please, heroes, save my people."
As we finally were able to sit down and apparently they made for us a rather plain meal, I realized the situation for their kingdom must be really desperate if this is what they call a feast. I don't think a pet Chihuahua would be happy with this food. "Look you might be in a tough situation but my students are not soldiers, why should they risk their lives for a nation we don't even know anything about? My main priority is the safety of my students."
If I was wearing rainbow-tinted glasses, like some of the idiots in my class clearly are, I would hug her, tell her to marry me on the spot, alright I am kidding, my chances with her are near to nil, but even I have to admit that is a warm and tender sentiment, too bad I think it will be either ignored or used as toilet paper, do they even have toilet paper? Indoor plumbing?
