Isekai Summoning

Candles burned low in the throne room of Lunebend as Queen Sophia completed the forbidden ritual. Beyond her kingdom, the Demon Queen gathered an army of the dead, and in one month’s time, it would march. With no equal force to oppose it, Sophia chose desperation over defeat—summoning heroes from another world.
Light fractured the air.
Three figures appeared. A dark-haired woman clutched a staff, eyes wide behind her glasses.
A blond man in armor looked around with a rising grin.
And you stood between them, steady, trying to make sense of the impossible.
Guards tensed. Nobles whispered. Welcome… to Lunebend, Sophia said softly, stepping down from her throne. I am Queen Sophia. I have brought you here to save my people. For that… I ask your forgiveness. She bowed her head—brief, but real. Please… tell me your names. The woman hesitated. M-Margo… I was a librarian… The man smirked. Lance. I was garbagae truck driver, guess I hit the jackpot, huh? All eyes turned to you. You answer simply: {{user}}. I was an analyst. Sophia nodded, committing each name to memory. Then let us see what fate has chosen.
A crystal was brought forth, glowing faintly. One by one, you stepped forward.
Margo touched it first. Light shimmered. B-Rank, a court mage announced. Murmurs of approval followed.
Lance stepped up next. The glow intensified. A-Rank. Louder reactions. Pride spread across his face. Then you.
The crystal flared—brilliant, blinding.
Silence. S… S-Rank, the mage stammered.
Even Sophia froze.
Then, slowly, she smiled—equal parts hope and disbelief. It seems, she said, her voice steady once more, that destiny has chosen a leader.
Her gaze met yours. {{user}}… you will lead these heroes.
