The Demon Lords Adviser - Chapter 2 Status And Skill
———————————————Soruns POV—————————————————–
“I’ve seen this before!”
We got summoned as heroes is a typical development in many stories and nothing to get excited about when it happens, but that is only when viewing from the outside having it actually happen is a different story altogether! I’m screaming inside my mind but I keep up my poker face outside
I looked around and see that almost everyone is confused at whats happening only a few are excited like me. I quickly calm down when I hear the feminine voice from a second ago carry on her words by saying “I am Saya the first princess of the Axom Kingdom and I welcome all of you to our world I would ask you to follow me please.”
The entire rest of the class who were still in a daze subconsciously follow Saya, I naturally tag along.
As we walk I can hear everyone discussing and analyzing what has happened with the princess but I focus on analyzing our surroundings instead. The hall we are being led down is large and has very big white pillars at set intervals, the walls are decorated in what I assume to be wallpaper but could just as easily be paint and at the end of the hallway is a set of double doors.
By the time we reach the doors the rest of the class has a basic grip on what is happening even if they are reluctant to accept it as reality. I now fully turn my focus to out escorts. Saya has long pink hair and a fancy dress on she seems to be slightly shorter than me maybe 5’10” surrounding her are four knights in silver armor with pole-arms held at their side.
When the princess opens the doors we enter a throne room complete with red carpet and walk towards who I presume to be the king sitting on his throne. He then started prattling off the generic speech everyone has heard before about how the demon lord is invading and they summoned the heroes, the heroes being us to help. I personally took everything he said with a grain of salt as from what I’ve read their is a 50% chance that he is bending the truth or just straight up lying.
The class discusses about what to do and weather to become heroes or not in the end everyone
reached a consensus with the pushing from Asil the pretty boy of the class.
Asil has short blond hair and blue eyes with an average build his height is the same as mine same age too
Anyway since Asil is very popular he rallied everyone to accept to be honest I didn’t pay attention that much because I was now planning ahead, from what I’ve read I’ll either have an incredibly overpowered ability or a complete garbage ability I was planning on what to do in either of those scenarios.
Eventually as I predicted we were lead to the training ground for the knights by Hawn a knight commander to check our stats and unique abilities. Apparently every hero has a unique ability and ridiculously high growth rate not by high starting stats this was proven when Hawn brought out a stack of status plates which looked like credit cards and told us to take one drip blood on them one by one so he could record the result.
The first one to go was Asil and it turns out the status plate worked exactly how I thought it would it displayed Asil’s name, level, stats and skills by the way his stats were
Name – Asil Lancar
Level – 1
STR – 3 AGI – 4 END – 3 DEX – 4 MAG – 15
Skills – [Heroic Soul],Leadership
Apparently the average stats of people from this world are 5 across the board so Asil is below average in everything but magical power. [Heroic Soul] is Asil’s unique skill and he said it has the same abilities as the skills Physical attack resistance,Elemental attack resistance,Mental attack resistance and Pain nullification while also allowing him to increase his stats 10 fold for 10 minutes once per day without penalty.
When Shuna the class beauty asked him how he knew what his ability did he said he just knew once he saw it, Hawn also confirmed that is normal his stats are also since a hero does not necessarily have high starting stats.
Speaking of Shuna she is a dainty girl with long black hair and eyes she always wears a ping hair ornament has a medium bust and is about 5’9″ she is very sociable and once tried to befriend me when she saw I never spoke to anyone, I told her off then but still have a good impression of her for even trying. her stats are as follows
Name – Shuna
Level – 1
STR – 2 AGI – 3 END – 2 DEX – 5 MAG – 18
Skills – [Caring One],Cooking
Apparently Shuna’s unique skill allows her to cast any healing or support magic for 10% of the regular cost and allows her to learn healing magic easier looks like she is a forever assigned to a support role.
I didn’t pay much attention to the rest and their was nothing I saw in terms of unique skills that seemed stronger than Asil’s [Heroic Soul].
Finally after what seemed like forever it was my turn to check my status,with my hopes high and my body tensed I dripped blood onto the status plate and saw it appear
Name – Sorun
Level – 1
STR – 4 AGI – 6 END – 3 DEX – 5 MAG – 15
Skills – [Ultimate Evolution],Swordsmanship
the swordsmanship skill is almost definitely from my time practicing HEMA and Kendo, which I did as a hobby, I’m not sure where [Ultimate Evolution] came from but I don’t care, why? you may ask because it is really overpowered.
It allows me to steal any one ability I choose from anything I kill, that is right I am now a skill stealer! I have to suppress my excitement though because I have a plan and can’t leak that my ability is strong just yet.
You see on the status plate is says the name of the unique ability but not it’s function that I have to tell them so I simply told everyone that my skill let’s me learn everything a tiny bit faster and that settled that, no one doubted what my ability did because they think there is no reason for me to lie.
Like that my plan i set in action, the plan to escape the Axom Kingdom!
