So apparently, business shorts are a thing that exists. All I can say is... why?

Been busy lately, courtesy of the guy who thought that it was a good idea to have 3 assignments and a test due in the same week.

Bio

Anyone remember the period a little after guildfall, when the site didn't have a lot of work put into it, the servers went down pretty often and people were moving out? We waited and waited until boom, Mahz made America the guild great again. That was about where I left off.



My mistake was trying to take on everything at once (and being cringy as hell but I mean come on). Well now I'm back, and better than ever.

And I'll be damned if I let anything get in the way of having a good time.

Alphonse put his hand to his chin as if to think. The boy wasn't phased by the having his head part, not because he was used to it but because the elf in front of him was simply not very threatening. But that was why he had to think.
She isn't that short, surely...
Well, he and the elf girl were about the same height, though he was only of average stature. It was certainly true that the animal-eared man was taller then them, however. And now that he thought about it, weren't elves supposed to be a bit taller than usual.
"Well yes, now that I think about it, you are a bit short. Comparatively, at least." He said aloud.
There were plenty taller people in the group, after all, though there were certainly shorter people.

At any rate, if she didn't answer the question herself, the boy would just have to speculate. Warrior was entirely possible due to the short girl that had gone before Alphonse, but he still wouldn't believe it until he saw their card. Neither gunner nor rogue fit the speech, unless they were an evasion rogue who stood in the front lines because they would never get hit. That was rather unlikely, though. And a magician... well, eventually wizards did whatever they wanted, but he supposed that wouldn't fly in these early stages.
Well I guess I can't assume without them telling me.
One thing loose end that bothered him though, was the fact that the elf girl kept calling themselves emperor, even though they were clearly female. Although, she was wearing men's clothes...
"By the way, shouldn't you be calling yourself empress rather than emperor?" Alphonse asked quizically.
He was honestly not entirely sure so he felt that he should ask.

Despite being lost in self pity, Alphonse still paid attention to the rest of the group as they got their own card. In particular he paid attention to the classes - there was warrior, gunner, rogue, and his own; magician.
No archers? He thought to himself.
Perhaps they would fall under the rogue category, or maybe gunners made them obsolete. Nevertheless it was a strange absence to the boy, as he believed bows could do things guns could not. Then again, not everyone had gone yet, so maybe there were still rangers in their midst. Though, speaking of which, he was unsure of what class one those who had gone was.

The boy quietly moved behind the loud elf girl and tapped her shoulder. Despite their speech he was mostly clueless as to what their class really was.
"So uh, nice speech I guess, but what class did you actually get?" Alphonse asked.
@Firestorm
The scenery was brilliant, even more so than the forest from before. Everywhere he looked Alphonse would likely find a point of fascination, and if he chose to he could probably get lost in the sights for hours. But he had some concerns, and as soon as the elf had said "adventurer's guild", Alphonse's suspicions grew.
Oh shit, I'm in an isekai, aren't I?
And just like that, his enthusiasm was squashed.

If he thought about it then it was obvious, what with meeting a god who gives him a gift of some sort. Still, since it was sort of unreasonable, he'd been expecting something... well, he wasn't expecting an isekai. He honestly still hoped it wouldn't be, but the prospects of being in one were growing stronger by the minute.

He followed the elf man and the rest of the group into the guild hall, where his expectations sank lower. He saw a ragtag throng of adults with no uniform defining feature. They could tentatively be described as mercenaries, and he had a small hope that was all they were. That hope disappeared when the squirrel-ish girl underwent the process. As the girl read her card out Alphonse kept his expression neutral. Yet, inside he was in despair. The small woman went next as he churned internally.

He supposed he should've seen it coming; all the signs were there. But he'd been ignoring them in the hopes that it was just coincidence. Alphonse let out a small sigh.
"I suppose there's no such thing as a free lunch, after all." He muttered to himself.
He didn't mind if others heard it, that would make the next part a bit easier.

The boy made his way to the front of the group.
"Excuse me, I hope you don't mind if I go next." He said to the 2 at the forefront.
He didn't pay attention to the rest behind him. He wanted to get this over with and he was in a position to do so. Alphonse touched the crystal and felt something run through his arm. He carefully took a card and scanned it quickly.
"So I use magic, huh?" He said out loud.

He quickly moved out of the way of the others. The card had a significant amount of information he'd need to digest. But more importantly, it was confirmed - he was currently one of the protagonists of an isekai setting, and there was nothing he could do about it.
I guess it's not so bad. I can shoot spells at people and stuff... He thought to himself.
It seemed he had quickly gone through the 5 stages of grief. A good sign of a healthy mind, and he hoped that his mindset would help him through this experience.
The boy was hunched over the desk, scribbling away, pausing at times to consult an open book nearby. Nothing else in the room could be heard save for the movement of pen on paper. But suddenly, the boy stopped. He furrowed his brow at the sheet of paper in front of him and frowned, as if something had gone wrong. Putting his pen down the boy sighed and leaned back in his chair. He rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly, before idly looking through the nearby window. He winced a little as light hit his eyes. The sun was coming up, that meant it was a new day.

Nikola stretched his limbs. He'd been awoken by a nightmare up in the middle of the night and he decided to study rather than go back to sleep. He had big dreams, after all, and he needed everything he could get. The boy looked around his room. His books for the day were safely stowed in his bag by the bed (save the ones he was using to study), his day to day clothes were ready to wear hanging on the cupboard, and his bed was... rather messy, but he supposed he'd have to fix it later. There was still a fluffy entity resting on it, and he didn't feel the need to wake it. Nikola shrugged and got off the chair. He took his clothes and headed to the bathroom - it was time to get himself ready for the day ahead.

Soon enough he came back from the bath, clean and ready. The boy moved to his bed, hovering over the ball of fluff resting peacefully on his pillow. He prodded it gently, trying to wake it.
"Kitten, it's time to wake up." He whispered.
The furry dragon opened its eyes slowly, glancing at the disturbance to its rest. It yawned, stretching its limbs, before rolling onto its back.
"Kitten..." The boy murmured disapprovingly, rubbing the dragon's belly.
It purred softly but made no attempt to move.

Nikola frowned, picking up his pillow and moving it to the floor. He began to make his bed, fixing the sheets, tucking them in, folding his blanket. Roused by the action, the fluffy dragon blinked awake, rolling off of the pillow onto its feet. It stretched its hips into the air and yawned, before coming over towards Nikola. It rubbed its head against the boy and he responded in kind, giving it a few affectionate strokes. The boy picked the pillow up and putting it in its rightful place, before finally scooping up the dragon into his arms. He looked around the room once more, to ascertain that everything was in order.
"Alright... Let's go then." He said to the dragon.
It cooed in response. The boy scratched its head and began walking towards the cafeteria, for the noble aim of breakfast and whatever else would come their way.
Alhponse took a look around, a bemused smile hovering on his face. He had arrived to the clearing discreetly a little while back and it was evident that the group had some colourful characters. He of course stood in the back and did not contribute, for he had nothing to say to the ensuing clamour. Still, he felt that if it was this group, he wouldn't be bored.

His eyes narrowed when the elf (Man? Woman? He couldn't tell.) opened a portal to somewhere. It would be lying to say the boy was surprised, he'd expected something like that from a follower of the gods.
Could I do that? He thought to himself.
His ultimate aim was to go home, and the magic the elf just used seemed like it would be one step. But the goddess had said it was impossible, and he was inclined to believe she had been telling the truth - if she really wanted his cooperation she would've said they could send him back. Although, she hadn't explicitly said it was impossible, only that even the gods couldn't do it.
"It wouldn't hurt to start looking for ways now..." He muttered to himself.
The elf's spell was a good start but it was likely not strong enough. He'd have to look out for other people with similar abilities.

Alphonse waited for a moment, letting a few others in the group go through the portal before he moved himself. The elf had introduced themselves as an emissary of the goddess but he wanted to make sure the portal was safe before going through. In a world where he knew nothing it was only appropriate to be cautious and glean as much as he could before he made a decision. Nevertheless, the boy did not hesitate when passing the threshold of the rip in space. He was committed to this, and he would get everything he could from it.
Alphonse had stopped jogging a little while in. It's not as if he couldn't do it anymore - his new body dealt with physical activity much better than he'd ever had while he was alive. Well, he alive now, but that was beside the point. There was a lot to see here in this forest, and he didn't want to miss it. The forest critters were similar to his own, but if he looked closely there were some differences. Even the trees and leaves were a little different to the ones he knew. It was certainly a familiar world, but in the same way that Alice must have felt when she went through the looking glass for the first time, Alphonse felt like a stranger to the scenery.
Well, that might have to do with the fact that I've never really been in a forest before. He thought to himself.
Public parks were like garbage dumps compared to the pristine sea of green before him.

Sadly, his enthusiasm soon began to simmer down. Initially he enjoyed the feeling of being in a slightly alien world, but he got used to it. The trees, leaves, animals and insects were a only a little different, but they acted pretty much the same. As he walked he got more used to it, and soon enough he was bored.
Where am I supposed to go anyway? he wondered.

As he walked the boy pondered his encounter with the goddess, Aleala, and tried to lay out what he knew about the situation. He had died, apparently, though he wasn't so sure about that. Nevertheless he didn't know enough to dispute that. It was theoretically possible that he had been spirited away to another country or something, but the effort to do so would be quite ridiculous for someone of little worth. There was a chance that this was perhaps a sophisticated simulation. It seemed like something he would be interested in. The drawback to this theory was that he knew modern tech wasn't that advanced. It still wasn't out of question, if he assumed that his whole life till now was a simulation it would fit, but that rabbit hole never ended. Therefore he had no choice but to believe the goddess's words. That being the case, there was something he was worried about.

Alphonse kept walking though the forest, completely absorbed in his thoughts.

The goddess had mentioned there was a pantheon of gods, and that there was a hierarchy. There was someone above her, who had seemingly commanded her to talk to the summoned people, which the boy supposed would make her something like a middle manager. What worried him was the motivation of those at the top. He had been summoned, along with around a dozen individuals, to save this world on the whims of people they did not know and whom they had never met. But that didn't worry him much, he worried instead about the gods.

The boy had felt the white-haired goddess's power, he could still feel it while he walked. It was not overwhelming like he first thought it would be, but it was a power beyond humanity. Supposing the goddess had told the truth about their pantheon, why could they not come down to this land and deal with the issue themselves? What worried him the most was the fact that the goddess had only mentioned one superior, yet had also mentioned a pantheon. Where were the other superior gods and what were they doing? Had they considered the foreigners, the supposed hope of this land, beneath their notice? or did they have other motives? There were many factors that made the boy wonder for his safety.

All of a sudden Alphonse tripped over an exposed tree root, falling face first onto the forest floor. He picked himself up off the floor and looked around
"Hm..."
He had no idea where he was. That was the danger of being absorbed in thoughts, he supposed. He looked around, trying to get his bearings and noticed a large pillar of light lancing into the sky. He tilted his head.
"That wasn't there before." He muttered to himself.

He shrugged and brushed himself off before making his way towards the light. It wasn't too far away, and he didn't have anything better to do. Stowing his thoughts away for a moment the boy focused solely on navigating the forest. Hopefully the light would lead to more answers.
Right, here's my sheet. Feel free to tell me if you have issues with it.

Hello, is there room for more people? The premise is interesting and I have a character idea I'd like to try.
