Soul Avatar

Kidnapped ?

Bang!

"Kyaaa!"

A girl's voice rang out as she saw Orion's right hand bleeding profusely.

Orion looked behind him to see the leader with a gun, in his good right hand glaring at him.

"Nobody touches him. He is mine." The leader spoke to his mates who were on the verge of shooting Orion.

Ignoring him, Orion continued to walk toward the last part of his broken ring.

Bang!

Orion's left arm gave out but he still continued to walk. His pains dulled and on his mind now was just the memento of his family.

Bang!

Crash!

Orion crashed on the ground as his left leg refused to budge.

"Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah"

Crawling on the ground, little by little he reached the second part of the ring and retrieved it.

Turning his body around, he laid down on the ground while clenching on his chest the two parts of the broken ring with his left hand.

"I...am...sorry...mom...dad...Saria..."

Orion muttered and tears flowed out.

"O-Orion..." Aura put her hand on her mouth and knelt on the ground like most of her classmates.

Apart from a few people, it was the first time they all saw a person really dying right in front of them and a classmate on top of that.

But seeing him so attached to his dead family, made them remember that they also had a family and, alive thankfully...

"N-No way..." Elena was shocked by what she saw and wished it was just a nightmare.

"I'm sorry..." Anna muttered before averting her eyes.

"..." Sienna was speechless at what she assisted, her heterochromia eyes were rippling with emotions.

"Orion..." Austin was feeling miserable as he couldn't do anything.

The leader dragged his bloodied body in front of Orion.

"Time to kill you, brat." He said, pointing the gun toward Orion's face.

"NO!" Aura cried.

Swooooosh!

Suddenly, Orion's body was enveloped in a white light.

"The hell?!" The leader jumped back and opened his eyes wide at the surreal scene.

"B-Boss!" His mate called out.

The leader turned around to see all the students being enveloped in a white light and vanishing afterward.

WHOOSH!

"WHAT the hell is happening ?!!!"

                        ***

In a spacious golden hall, several people were standing stunned by the course of events.

"Wh-what happened ?"

Aura was bewildered by the situation.

Their bodies suddenly shone and they ended up there.

Looking around, Aura could see the other students as confused as her.

""Aura!""

"Noemi, Maeva!"

Reuniting with her friends, she hugged them. They had been in a terrifying situation after all.

"You are finally conscious heroes of the otherworld."

A majestic voice rang out.

They all turned toward the voice to see a golden-haired and blue-eyed handsome man in his mid twenties looking at them.

"Who are you and why...?"

Jordan asked, but his voice turned confused seeing the clothes of the man. He was wearing the typical robe royalty of the medieval age on earth.

"I am the Emperor of the Solaria Empire, Helio Damian Solaria." He replied with a strong tone.

"Em-Emperor ? What kind of prank is this ?"

Anna asked with a frown.

"It's not a joke and she is my Empress."

Helio turned around to reveal an extremely beautiful woman in her early twenties. She had straight black hair with beautiful blue eyes.

"I am the Empress of Solaria Empire, Margreth Solaria, greetings heroes."

Margreth bowed, lifting the hem of her dress slightly.

Several male students gulped upon seeing her. She was very beautiful.

"Cough! We summoned you all here to help us."

"S-So you kidnapped us ?!" Aura asked Helio in an angry tone.

"No, not really..."

"What ?!" Aura was getting angry.

They were taken as hostages by a bunch of psychos and just when she thought it was over, they were again in the custody of someone else.

"If you are here with us, then it means you died in your world."

"No! WE didn't die, we..."

"Or you were on the verge of dying a few seconds later."

Helio added further.

""EH?""

They were all shocked by his revelation.

"Listen heroes. The spell we used was a spell which brings people who died in another world into this world. If you didn't die, then it means that you would have died a few minutes later in your world. It's not a kidnapping, believe me." Margreth said with an honest face.

*Gasps*

Several students gasped at the Empress's explanation.

They understood something from her words.

That they were somehow saved by their summoning as they didn't die.

"S-So we can still go back alive to our world ?"

One of the girls asked nervously.

"Yes. It's possible but you need to find a Soul Relic for that."

Helio nodded with a bitter smile.

"Soul relic ?"

Andrew asked, confused. No, rather he was on the verge of having his brain short-circuited.

'A summoning in another world like in those Japanese novels ? The hell ?!'

"Yes, we used a soul relic to bring you all here."

All the students' shoulders slumped at that.

"But don't worry, you can find others in other kingdoms or maybe in the rifts."

Helio reassured them with a smile.

"Rifts ?" Austin was confused about the word.

"It's a place where you could find treasures and artifacts, but it's a dangerous place as monsters are roaming around," Helio replied.

"Artifacts ? M-Monsters ?!" Austin was shocked by the fantasy words.

"So it's a dungeon."

"As expected of a fantasy world."

Jaxon and Jake replied calmly, but there was no doubt that they were the most excited to be there.

"How many do we need ?" Jordan asked in an arrogant voice.

In this world, he didn't have his father and power, so he was very panicked inwardly.

"Hm? We used only one soul relic to bring her all you, so just one will be enough, I think." Margreth answered in a soft voice.

"Do we have to fight those monsters ?! We are high schoolers !"

Aura asked again angrily. The cheerful one was nowhere to be seen.

"Please don't worry. You have been summoned by a divine spell, so you have all acquired abilities to protect and fight."

The Emperor replied with a reassuring smile. He wasn't a devil to send children of the same age to death.

"Huh ?!"

"Really !"

"Can I have the sharingan ?!"

"Idiot! The rinnegan is better!"

The previously nervous students became excited at the prospect of having superpowers like animes and movies.
