Chapter 1:
In Another World as a Bodybuilder
(A Man was in a gym finishing up a workout as he hit the showers and changed into regular clothes before leaving the gym but as he stopped to pick something up a magic circle appeared on the ground under him as he cocked his head to the left.)
???: "What the f-" (The Man was taken away as he then landed on his butt and looked around confused at a fantasy looking room as a woman was standing in front of him with a smile.)
???: "Welcome I am Sereia Vellichor I am the Master of Books here and I have come to greet you hero."
???: "Hero? Master of Books? Where am I?"
Sereia: "You are in the Kingdom of Solsandros and you have been summoned as our hero against evil, may I ask your name Hero?"
???: "I'm Ryuga Kato, you're telling me I am in another world right now?"
Sereia: "Yes Sir Kato you have been summoned to act as our defense against evil if you would follow me we would like for you to come get your power and magic affinity tested." (The Woman walked over to a door and opened it as she walked out with Ryuga getting up and following her as she led him down a hall and into another room with a device as she stood next to it and smiled.)
Sereia: "Please place your hand on the circle and we will read everything in your mana."
(Ryuga listened as he did what she said to do and it beeped and produced a paper as she grabbed and stared at it as she was confused.)
Sereia: "Can you please do it again sir."
Ryuga: "Ok." (Ryuga did it again and it produced a paper quicker as she looked at it again before Ryuga smiled and then a minute later he was being tossed out of the back door of the castle as he landed in mud and stood up as he was confused.)
Sereia: "You're useless to us, go do something else." (The doors slammed as Ryuga stared in disbelief and didn't know what to do.)
1 Year Later
(Ryuga was standing in the woods wearing new black pants with a belt and suspenders with a tank top type undershirt with brown leather boots as his shirt laid on cut down log as he was about to fell a tree as he picked the axe out of it and swung one more time as it began to fall and he pushed it to guide it.)
Ryuga: "TIMBER!"
Foreman: "TAKE OFF KATO, YOUR TIME IS UP!"
Ryuga: "GOT IT!" (Ryuga pulled a handkerchief out of his back pocket as he wiped all the sweat off his face and dropped the suspenders as he put the shirt back on tucking it in and replacing the suspenders as he rested the axe on his shoulder as he walked out onto the trail and set out towards a village in the distance.)
Ryuga (Thinking): "What has become my life, Its been a year of this now." (Ryuga kept walking as he saw a wagon in the distance and recognized the Miller family as he approached he quickly realized Mr. Miller was angry as a wheel was laying on the ground as Ryuga came to a stop.)
Ryuga: "What seems to be going on Mr. Miller?"
Mr. Miller: "Oh lad, the damn wheel broke off because this new horse got skittish and jumped to the right."
Ryuga: "Do you want help fixing it?
Mr. Miller: "We'd have to get a few of these guys to help us lift, this thing weighs close on 500 pounds."
Ryuga: "Nonsense, grab the wheel and your hammer." (Ryuga laid his axe down as he walked over and placed one hand on the back of the wagon as he lifted the side where the wheel came off to chest level on Mr. Miller as he was shocked and quickly worked to fix it as he finished and Ryuga placed the wagon back down.)
Mr. Miller: "That's crazy son, you're one strong boy. I'd mistake you for an Ox in disguise if I didn't know better."
Ryuga: "That's nice of you Mr. Miller, good luck with the horse I am going to be getting going now." (Ryuga picked up his axe as he started into the village as Mr. Miller scratched his head and Ryuga walked down the streets waving at people as kids ran up and ran around him and he tossed a couple in the air with one hand as he caught them and patted them on the head and eventually came on a tavern as he entered and walked up to the bar as he leaned his axe on it as he sat waiting for the waiter girl.)
???: "Hey Ryuga! Long day today?"
Ryuga: "You don't know the half of it Maisie, the usual please." (Maisie poured a mug of ale and a bowl of beef jerky as she put in an order with the chef before bringing it over and placing both on the counter as she leaned over and looked at Ryuga as he took a big swig of the ale.)
Ryuga: "Nothing like a good mug of Ale after a long day of work."
Maisie: "You work hard Ryuga, why don't you go and find better work for such a work ethic?"
Ryuga: "It's good work and I don't know much else."
Maisie: "You're a big and strong guy why don't you become an adventurer?"
Ryuga: "I have no clue where I'd even start Maisie, some people just aren't built for such a thing."
Maisie: "So you're going to rot out here in the outskirts of the kingdom with all this talent?"
Ryuga: "And Hopefully I can settle down with a nice woman and start a family, not everyone is looking for adventure Maisie." (Maisie rolled her eyes as she smirked and sharpened as she snickered.)
Maisie: "Kind of hard to get a woman and settle down when you never get out or talk to any Ryuga, non of them even look at you." (Ryuga smirked as he looked over his mug of ale.)
Ryuga: "You look at me." (Maisie coughed hard as a old man with a long beard and a scar across his face behind the bar brought out a steak and a massive baked potato belted out a laugh.)
Rorik: "He's got you there Maisie, you're always looking at him."
Maisie: "I am not! It's- It's not like that!"
Ryuga: "Whatever you say." (Ryuga picked up the knife and fork as he began to ate before the doors to the tavern swung open and Maisie stiffened up as a big guy wearing a long black coat with a symbol on the back walked in and sat at the bar before she pulled down some whiskey and served it to him as he looked around in disgust as Ryuga paused his eating to take a swing of ale as he side eyed him.)
???: "What a dump."
Maisie: "Welcome in sir!"
???: "Shut up bitch, did I tell you to speak?" (Ryuga ignored him as he continued to eat his steak before the man spotted him and got up taking his food as Ryuga paused his chewing before continuing and swallowing as he placed down the knife and fork and took a swig of ale.)
???: "Get me a fork and knife you stupid wench, hurry up." (Maisie flinched as she grabbed a knife and fork from behind her and swung around as she knocked into the glass of whiskey and spilt it all over the food and the man as he stood up quickly and a vein visibly appeared on his forehead.)
???: "YOU STUPID BITCH, YOU CAN'T EVEN DO SOMETHING SO SIMPLE CORRECT? LET ME TEACH YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE LIKE YOU DISRESPECTS ME!" (The man raised his hand as Maisie braced herself to be hit before nothing came as she slowly opened her eyes to see Ryuga standing in front of her as she could hear the leather of his jacket crunching from Ryuga's grip on the mans hand.)
???: "LET GO OF ME YOU BIG OAF, I AM TRYING TO TEACH THIS BITCH A LESSON, DO YOU WANT ONE TOO?" (Ryuga's grip tightened as his face was no longer friendly as he let go before the Man stepped back and felt his wrist.)
???: "Do you know who I am you bastard?"
Ryuga: "No and nor do I give a shit, you're going to go before I make you."
???: "Big talk for someone whos just a strong brute."
Ryuga: "I don't care, you don't hit women you scumbag." (The Man pulled a dagger and lunged at Ryuga suddenly as he stabbed the dagger into his shoulder as Ryuga countered with a head butt and grabbed his axe to block another incoming dagger before the guy jumped back and sneered as his teeth grinded as he began to leave.)
???: "This isn't over." (The Man left as Ryuga dropped his Axe back down before Maisie ran up and felt the dagger as she guided him to a seat.)
Maisie: "Here let me treat this."
Ryuga: "It's nothing, but thank you." (Maisie pulled the dagger out as she winched.)
Maisie: "You gotta take your shirt off."
Ryuga: "No problem." (Ryuga stood up as he dropped his suspenders and took his shirt off revealing his toned physique as Maisie was a little shocked as he sat back down and she dressed the wound after cleaning it up as he put his shirt back on and suspenders drank the rest of his ale and took off.)
Ryuga: "Be careful Maisie, if they comeback and cause problems just give me up. Don't get yourself hurt." (Ryuga left as he walked towards his home when he got there he unlocked the door to a bare and basic two room house as he placed his axe on a rack and took off his shirt before pouring some more ale from a barrel and sitting down to relax.)
(The Next Morning Ryuga was up bright and early as he undressed from sleepwear into his regular clothes as he grabbed a piece of bread from a cupboard and grabbed his axe as he was out the door munching on the bread as he made his way out of the village whistling as he didn't notice anyone else heading to the woods for work or even any wagons as he thought it was a bit weird before he made it to the forest to find the foreman not there as he shrugged and began to work.)
Ryuga (Thinking): "How odd, the foreman is never late to work and neither are any of the other guys." (Ryuga swung his axe before he heard a loud noise that caused him to miss as he wiped the sweat from his brow before becoming curious and walking to investigate with his axe over his shoulder as he came on a party of various races fighting a massive ogre with a gem imbedded in its head as he walked right past a paper that read 'Danger Keep out')
Ryuga: "Woah, real adventurers fighting an ogre how cool is that."
???: "Sir you need to evacuate the area!" (A young man with a bow ran over to him as he was confused before the ogre swung straight towards him with a massive club.)
Ryuga: "Watch out!" (Suddenly the club slammed into the ground as the young man was confused how he wasn't crushed as Ryuga placed him on his feet 5 feet away from where the club had hit the ground.)
Ryuga: "You need to be more careful young man, that could of killed you."
???: ".....Thanks." (The Man was confused as he turned back and began to power up an arrow with swirling magic as he nocked it let it fly as it plunged into the side of the ogre with a massive explosion of wind as it shrugged it off and only got more irritated.)
???: "That's not good, Everyone in formation I am going to use it."
???: "Are you sure boss?"
???: "Yes." (All the members of the party got into a formation and formed a barrier to block all incoming attacks as the apparent leader charged something up but as he was doing this one of them ran out of Mana and the shield fell as the club was coming at a fast speed they all accepted their fat before they heard something flying through the air as Ryuga threw his axe and cut it clean in two as he grabbed the cut off part of the club and threw it at the Ogre before he grabbed his axe and started to chop at its leg like a tree as he chopped clean through being covered in blood as it fell to the ground and the leader shot the spell at its head killing it.)
???: "We shouldn't of taken this stupid job! We had no time to rest between, this is your fault Vaelin!"
Vaelin: "Morgra you were just as for the job as I was! You're always like this never taking blame."
???: "Come on guys lets calm down-"
Both: "SHUT UP BRAMBLE!" (The Tall woman dawning armor with ears and a tail and the Dark elf in black clothing started to argue as the bowman attempted to stop them before they yelled at him before another dark elf this time in blue and white walked up and slapped both of them on the back of the head.)
???: "I swear you two are such idiots when you get pigheaded." (Ryuga stared at them as he wiped off his axe with his rag and then wiped his face clean of blood.)
Both: "Sorry Viconia."
Viconia: "Now we would be dead if not for this man right here, Thank you sir.... What's your name?"
Ryuga: "Oh there is no sir, its just Ryuga, Ryuga Kato."
Vaelin: "Are you an adventurer? Were you sent to assist by the guild?"
Ryuga: "Oh no I'm just a Lumberjack."
Vaelin: "Wait are you that Ryuga? The one that was labeled as a disgraced hero after having almost no mana when tested?"
Ryuga: ".....Yeah that's me." (Viconia looked at Vaelin as she stepped forward and put out her hand as Ryuga took it with a strong grip and shook.)
Viconia: "I'm Viconia and this is my Brother Vaelin, the tall broody woman is Morgra and the idiot is Bramble."
Ryuga: "Great to meet you all, I'm glad I was able to help."
Vaelin: "You didn't just help us, you saved our lives."
Ryuga: "Nah you would of figured it out without me."
Vaelin: "May I ask, was that the spell Buzzsaw?"
Ryuga: "Yeah it was."
Vaelin: "How did you learn that if you have almost no Mana? If you don't mind me asking."
Ryuga: "No worries, I learned it because I traveled around for a year before settling here. I ended up raising my Mana to basic level and I can use basic spells but due to being labeled a disgrace no one would teach me."
Viconia: "You used enhancement magic too right?"
Ryuga: "No I don't know Enhancement magic."
Viconia: "Wait, Wait, Wait you're saying you are just that naturally fast and strong?"
Ryuga: "Yeah, I was a bodybuilder in my other world."
Viconia: "A bodybuilder?"
(Ryuga thought about how to explain it to them.)
Ryuga: "Someone who lifts weights and trains to be strong and look aesthetically pleasing, I was also a powerlifter."
Viconia: "Interesting, so you're saying you have a lot of muscle? But you don't look so big although you are fairly tall."
Ryuga: "I'm just wearing baggy clothes for comfort." (Ryuga looked at the ogre as they all moved around it and he was curious.)
Ryuga: "What do you do with it now?"
Vaelin: "We have to call in the rest of our team to bring the saws and wagons to cut it up and haul it."
Ryuga: "Why waste time, I can help you."
Vaelin: "It's like 2 t-" (Ryuga hands his axe to Vaelin as he grips the torso of the ogre and slings it over his shoulder as he stares at them and they are all shocked and in disbelief except Morgra who just scoffs.)
Ryuga: "After you." (They began to walk as Ryuga casually carried the massive ogre body as they came upon a wagon as he dropped it and tied it to the wagon as he retrieved his axe.)
Vaelin: "Thank you Mr. Kato, that saved us quite a bit of time."
Ryuga: "No problem, anytime." (Ryuga grabbed his axe as he waved and they all started to load up before Viconia ran up to Ryuga and grabbed his shoulder spinning him around to ask him a question.)
Viconia: "You ever think about adventuring Ryuga?"
Ryuga: "Sure, but everyone told me I'd never get anywhere with no skills or spells."
Viconia: "How would you like to join our party?"
Ryuga: "Really?"
Vaelin: "What are you doing-"
Viconia: "Shut up Vaelin." (Ryuga thought about it a second before smiling and nodding his head.)
Ryuga: "Why not."
(Viconia smiled as she ran and jumped into the wagon as she waved for Ryuga to join and he ran towards the wagon.)
