I do not own the "Rising of the Shield Hero" nor will I probably ever.

Backstory

I was born in an old city in Tokyo. Both of my parents died when I was born by a gang they were running from. Because of this, I was never given a name. I was transferred from the hospital to an orphanage as soon as possible but some thought otherwise...They thought otherwise. It was burned down the next night and killed everyone but me. I was later found by a man named Sajay Obto. He cared for me and when he brought me to his home, he had weapons laided out and told me to pick one. I looked at all of them and didn't know what they were but one of them caught my eye. A shuriken. I picked it up and he chuckled and said "You don't have a name do you?" I shook my head and he said "Then your name shall be Shuriken." I was trained by him using shurikens for 5 years then moved onto using a katana. For the rest 10 years I was trained by using both shurikens and a katana and I became a master of both. I liked believing I was Genji from a game I was allowed to play. Did I mention he was a huge weeb? Well, he passed it on to me and I kinda enjoyed it. However I may have found his hentai collection and may have used it for target practice... he was mad but was glad there was no evidence(of what??) You know I said I liked being Genji? Well I lost my right arm with a mix of an explosion and my katana chopping it off so I was more like him, well kinda. I was 20 now and I was told I could go out into the city. He taught me what I needed to know to get a job and live, but the rest of the time was training. We took a trip to visit his family again when they showed up. They shouldn't be there. They should be dead. The explosion I lost my arm in was in their home base and it killed the leader and next in line. Yet, here they were. On the same plane as I. The next thing to happen was a blur but I remember some of it. We were about 1/4 of the way there when they plane dropped. It just fell. We received a notice and were told the plane engine failed and we would land in water. Just after however, I heard kicking screaming and yelling. It was them. I knew nothing good would happen from this and looked at my uncle(Yes I call him uncle). He didn't know what was going on. I went to the front with my sword ready but they were gone. We were approaching the ground when I saw it wasn't water. I didn't know what it was but land. Blue land. We got closer and I saw it was tarps."An island hidden in the ocean" I thought. We were too close. There was nothing I could do. I just braved for impact but instead of the plane and dirt, I felt a floor."Marble?"

I was greeted by 12 men in robes chatting among themselves. "Oh great hero, please save us and our land!" One of them said. I was confused and got up checking for what I had. I had my shurikens, sword, and wallet. "That's all I had with me so I was fine." I was thinking. I saw the men again chat with each other."Where am I?" I asked them. "Please come with us the King of Melromarc would like to speak with you."

I followed them to the what seemed to be a King's throne with an old man up top it. "Ah, so you are our hero? I am King Aultcray Melromarc XXXII. May our hero speak his name?" "I am Shuriken 20 years old and a trainee of Sajay Obto." The king pondered for a moment than asked "And who is this Sajay Obto you speak of? Is he from your world?" This really is a different world huh? "Yes he is my uncle, a master of swordsmanship." The king chuckled and said "So you must have experience in combat?" "Yes" "Well it is good to meet you Shuriken. Now onto the matter of why you've been summoned. Our world is being threatened by the upcoming Waves of Catastrophe. We have already been attacked by strong monsters for 3 months and have decieded to summon a hero to save us. We ask you to protect us from these monsters and save our kingdom." I pondered this for a moment." So your world is under attack in preparation for an even stronger attack?" The king shook his head and said "So you understand our situation. Will you help us?" I thought about it. "Only if there is a way back home and a reward for possible death." There has to be a way home right? "Don't worry about pay or rewards, however going back may be a challenge." "How so?" "Well you see, the lengends say a hero can only go home once all waves are defeated." "So I just need to beat all the waves?" This is like all the games I've played back home I thought. "Yes that is correct and if you stay here for the night, we can get preparations for your departure tomorrow." I agreed.

I followed a maid(no maid outfit what is with this world?) into a good sized room and spent the night there thinking the entire time, "At least I'm alive" but I couldn't say the same for uncle.

I woke up the next day rested and ready to fight. I asked the king if they had anything in this world I should know about. He told me I should have a picture somewhere in my vision that was called "status magic". I asked what kinds of magic in this world there was and how to know if I can use it. He told me to go to a shop in the middle of town and ask the witch there to check my magic affinities. I followed his order and went to see the witch. "Oh hello!" I said hello to her and asked if she could check my magic affinities. She said for me to follow her so I did. "Ok may I ask who is checking for their affinities?" "I'm Shuriken" "Wait the new hero?!" She exclaimed it with excitement. "I'm so happy to check the affinities of a hero! So to start, place your palm in the middle of the stone." I did as told and was to wait while she checks them. "Oh so this is interesting to say the least." What is it?" I was kinda scared and hoped I had at least some magic I could use. "It would seem... that you pose every type of magic we know of and then some!" I wasn't sure how to respond to that. It felt..weird to say the least. "So, I can use any type of magic, as long as I learn it?" "Well yes and no. You see, for us, we learn it and chant a spell to combine both our magic power, and a image of what we are trying to create. However, for you, it seems you don't require a chant or to learn it from a scroll. All you need to know is waht it does and it will cast the spell." I was flabbergasted. I wasn't sure if I was overpowered or if I was lucky.

I thanked her and made my way back to the king.

"Well this is a surprise to say the least. Our hero has an affinity for every type of magic! If this is the case, however, you will need all the magic you can find to defeat the upcoming waves." I was surprised at the last comment. "So I need all magic I can get to survive huh?" I thought to myself. "Now", the king said," I will grant you 800 silvers for your trip. I am sorry for the lack of party members. Most of them have gone to help the villages that were attacked."

I thanked him for the silvers and made my way over to a blacksmith a heard about on my way to the witch's shop. "Ah, a customer. So what can I do for ya?" I looked around the shop at the assortment of weapons and armor surrounding my the shop. "Kid, I ain't got all day." He looked at me and saw my sword on my back. "Wait, don't tell me... You're the newly summoned hero!?" I nodded my head to him. "Take all the time you need! And when you're ready, bring it up to the counter." I looked through the armor and found a set that offered great protection, with high movement speed that would work well for me. "Try it on kid. See how well it fits." Going to the changing room, I found it was too big and was actually hindering my movements rather than not. "You know kid, if you need something special ordered, I'de be willing to make one for ya. Just tell me your budget and what you want on it according to that budget, and I'll get it done. "Well... something that offers great amounts of protection but doesn't affect my movement speed would be nice. As for my budget, 600 silvers would be the max." "Really!? Although I hate to say it, you could get better armor from other blacksmiths outside of Melromarc." "No, this will be fine. So, how much will it cost and what can I put on it?" "Well kid, for 600 silvers, I can put Max Auto Repair, Physical Attack Reduction, Magic Reduction, and Thermal Reduction." "Thanks. That would be great. When will it be finished?" "Give me 2 hours and it wil be done. So, to be clear, the maximum of every enchantment I can do on it, offer great protection, and not hinder mobility correct?" I shook my head. "That all would normally cost about 450 silvers, but for a hero, I can do 400." "Thank you so much. Also, if I may, what is your name?" "Enhard." "Alright Enhard, I'll be back. Here's your 400 silvers." And with that, I went to fight some balloons while I waited.
