I Got Isekai’d, Well Shyt!

Vol.1 Ch.02 So I’m Isekai’d with “That Guy”

'Who the hell are these guys? What did they do to me?' Ryan thought to himself while he tried to stand up but couldn't for some reason. The robed figures started chanting and making strange hand gestures that made Ryan feel a wave of energy flowing through his veins.

That's when one of the robed figures pulled down their hood to reveal silky platinum hair, a black circlet with a jade green gem in the middle, vibrant violet eyes, brown tan skin, a beautiful attractive face, and long pointy ears.

'Is that a Dark Elf? Great! And this confirms it, I've been isekai'd!... Wait? Aren't Dark Elves usually evil? Did I get summoned by evil creatures? What does that say about me?!' Ryan thought as he tried to keep his calm. 'I need to assess the situation and figure a way out. Otherwise, I'm in it deep.' Ryan thought as he felt another bad omen coming upon him.

The Main Dark Elf held up her finger in front of Ryan's neck then the rest followed like they were pointing him out of a crowd. When the elf started chanting some words in a language that he didn't understand, Ryan noticed what they were pointing at. It was the orb that was chasing him earlier had shrunk down to the size of a golf ball and attached itself to his neck while forming a choker collar necklace. The collar had some dark metal with elegant swooping designs running around it.

'Wait! What the hell? Where did that come from?' Ryan panicked as he looked around in the cave trying to see if he could find a way to stop this but he came up empty. Ryan started feeling that same electricity sensation again when he was pulled through the portal.

'Dammit, this is getting annoying!' Ryan thought to himself. He was starting to get pissed off that someone was messing with his body. He was starting to feel drained from whatever the Dark Elves were doing to him.

"Hey! Stop!" Ryan yelled out loud as he tried to fight back against the Dark Elf that was manipulating the energy within him. "What the fuck are you doing to me?!" As his voice echoed throughout the cave and it sounded like thunder rolling across the mountains.

He was hoping that they would stop once he yelled at them. But that wasn't the case, as the main Dark Elf continued chanting and making hand gestures for their ritual while other robed figures moved in closer and started chanting as well.

Ryan noticed the main Dark Elf, who he thinks is a Priestess, was staring at him with a disappointed look in her eyes. As in she was hoping for some other result other than Ryan. 'She's pissed? That makes no sense why she was disappointed in me. I have no clue why that would be?'

Then the other Dark elves started chanting and making hand gestures with the Priestess, making Ryan feel like he was getting closer and closer to passing out from exhaustion. After what seemed like hours, but in actuality, it was minutes, the ritual finally came to its conclusion and Ryan passed out from the stress and exhaustion.

As he was just about to succumb to slumber, he heard the Dark Priestess say, "Put him w– –e other and no— if any changes–."

***

Ryan woke up, he was all cleaned up from all the filth that he had accumulated from the day prior and stripped with only some type of boxer underwear.

Next, he looked around his new surroundings and he was in a strange room with glowing runes on the floor. In front of him was a table with writing on the side of it. The writing looked like Chinese or Japanese, but he couldn't make out what it was saying. Next to him was a door, but something was blocking it from opening.

That's when Ryan heard someone behind him say, "Hey! So, you're finally awake!" Ryan turns to look to see an Asian guy across the other side of the room on the far wall.

Ryan noticed this guy who looked like he was in his early 20s maybe and was dressed similarly to him with the same style of underwear and the elegant orb necklace but with a red glow, as Ryan's had a yellow or goldish glow to it for some reason.

Ryan asked him, "And, who are you?"

"GAH! I thought I was the only one!" Yelled the other guy while he ignored Ryan’s question.

He turned to look at Ryan and questioned him, "You're from Earth, aren't you!?"

Ryan raised one of his eyebrows as he stared dumbfounded at this guy's attitude. Ryan was trying to keep his poker face.

"Okay? Thanks for not answering my question," Ryan said sarcastically as he slowly walked towards the other guy who was also from Earth.

He started mumbling to himself like he was having a conversation but with no one else. As Ryan got closer he realized that this guy was a little younger than he first thought.

‘I might be 5 to 8 years older than him? I'm 27, God I hope he’s not a teenager.' Ryan thought to himself.

As Ryan observed this guy he noticed his mannerisms. Troubling mannerisms that were popping up left and right. Ryan wished he could ignore the red flags the more he observed this guy, but sadly there was no way he could.

He had an over-the-top brooding vibe while staring off to the side mumbling to himself lost in his own world.

You know, like one of those guys at a tabletop RPG who created characters that they think are deep, foreboding, and full of mystery, but they have a personality as deep as a puddle of piss. The "That Guy" syndrome or the bad stereotypes of an otaku.

‘All I can say is I pray that I'm wrong. But the red flags are flagrantly sticking out on this guy like a pincushion.’ Ryan couldn’t shake the bad feelings he was getting from this guy.

"So, what do I call you then? I'm not going to call you 'Earthling' while we're stuck in this place?" Ryan asked as he continued to probe this guy for answers.

The other guy slowly turned to look at Ryan with his almond eyes. Ryan could tell that he was trying to hide his emotions or lack thereof. But he was able to see it and it was obvious. He was pissed at Ryan for some reason.

"You can call me Chosen One Hiro," Hiro said as he turned back to start mumbling again.

Ryan cocked his eyebrow as he was thinking about what he just told him.

"Chosen One Hiro?" Ryan said out loud without looking at him. "Yeah…. I'm not going to call you that... Are you from the States?"

Hiro looked at Ryan like he was the biggest moron on the planet or both planets?

'God dammit! What's this guy's problem now?'

"Why are you asking if I'm from the States when you're speaking to me in Japanese, you dumb shit," Hiro said condescendingly to Ryan.

'Wait, What!? I'm not bilingual? And my "monolingual" skills are fine at best. There's the occasional word that usually screws me over, but that happens to everyone in some way. Wait, I'm getting off track.' Ryan thought to himself as he finally comprehended what Hiro said.

‘Maybe it had to do something with that weird ritual, but Hiro can understand me? And I understand him. Hmm... I hope it’s the same for the other beings on this planet.’ Ryan can only hope that was the case.

Ryan stares at Hiro, annoyed with his attitude, and says to him, "Nah, man your English is perfect." while giving him a smartass smirk.

Hiro scoffed at him. "You're a liar! And you're not the Chosen One, I AM! GOT IT!?" Hiro yelled back as he gave Ryan a look that was filled with contempt and disgust.

'Oh, this is going to get old real fast.' Ryan thought to himself while he grits his teeth trying to control his anger slowly boiling from his core.

"Well Hiro, if you know how to get back to Earth? By all means, I would appreciate that information and let you go back to being the 'Chosen One' or whatever you want to be called." Ryan told Hiro with a glare. "And by the way the name's Ryan."

Hiro looked at Ryan with a smirk. "S-So you're not here to take my glory? Then you have made yourself a powerful ally, Ryan," he said while pointing at Ryan with excitement.

'Is this guy bipolar or something? Oh yeah! I forgot he's the worst type of otaku!... Why couldn't I be stuck with a cool, normal-ish otaku?' Ryan thought as he cried on the inside as it dawned on him that he was stuck with this jackass for God knows how long!? Or is it a goddess? Who the hell knows anymore!

Ryan sighed, "Yeah well, I'm here to help you. So how about you give me that information instead of making fun of me, okay?"

Hiro took a deep breath as he calmed down and said to Ryan, "Ha ha! My friend, I'm sure you don't need my help! I believe you can find it out yourself."

"So, you don't know how to open the portal that brought us here? Got it, thanks." Ryan says sarcastically.

"N-No no, I-I can tell you, but there is a catch." Hiro stuttered as he smiled like a Cheshire cat, with a devilish gleam in his eyes. "You have to give up something of yours in exchange for the information."

"Dude! Look at me! I'm practically stripped naked like you!" Ryan says forcefully while being annoyed by Hiro's incompetence. "Now I can understand why the Dark Elf Priestess had that disappointed look on her face. She had the displeasure of summoning you and must think I'm the same." Ryan says under his breath, so Hiro doesn't hear him.

Hiro ignores Ryan as he continues to smile and says, "I am serious, and this is no joke. If you refuse to give up something of yours then you will remain stuck on this planet forever."

Now Ryan was really getting annoyed. "Hiro, do you know how you came to this world? Was it by chance you came in contact with that red glowing orb on your neck?"

Hiro looked at Ryan with caution, "Th-That's none of your business."

"Yeah, the same thing happened to me, genius," Ryan said while putting his hand on his forehead. "I think we were both transported here by some kind of magic device, right?"

Hiro was taken aback by Ryan's comment and he thought carefully before opening his mouth. "Well, I was unjustly punished by my friends and family! Those cowards had the gall to kick me out of my room, saying that I wouldn't amount to anything if I didn't start looking for a job! But they never understood! All the anime I watched! All the mangas I read were so I could become Earth's greatest hero when the time came. But they lacked vision and said I was a leech on society! And after no one would support me I knew I needed to show them the error of their ways! That was when I went to the old shrine by my parent's place. I prayed to it to give me the power of the chosen one. So I could get my justice on all of them! And make them grovel at my feet for all eternity! That's when the orb of power showed up in front of me and I gladly accepted it... My only regret was not realizing I was needed on another world first before I could right the wrongs that had been done to me back on Earth! But I'm a patient man... So, the orb can't be a magical device!" Hiro said as he looked straight into Ryan’s eyes with an over-inflated ego.

'Sounded more like Vengeance than Justice. But I doubt Hiro knows the difference at this point,' Ryan thought.

"So I just want to be clear with you, you don't know how to get back home," Ryan asked Hiro again. "And I'm guessing you never received any training on how to use that orb thingy?"

Hiro just stared at Ryan for a moment and finally said. "Yes, I know how to use the orb of Justice, but you just have to figure it out yourself."

'So translation, Hiro doesn't know how to use the orb. And he didn’t panic when the orb came out of nowhere, because of his deepest desire for power. And it came in the form of a similar orb that chased me. Hiro hoped to use it against people who he thought wronged him. God, damn idiot.' Ryan thought while he closed his eyes. He was beginning to realize that he was all alone for solving this problem.

Ryan sighs while he opens his eyes, "Well, that doesn't change the fact that you still don't know how to open the portal that brought us here."

With nothing more to talk about Ryan decided to go back to the table with the writing on the side of it. He couldn't make heads or tails out of it.

'I wonder what the meaning of the runes are? I'm sure we will find out the hard way sooner or later. Preferably through Hiro, but, sadly, I shouldn't pin my hopes on him.' Ryan shook his head in frustration as he couldn't come up with a better plan.

All of a sudden Ryan’s stomach began to growl from lack of food. He was hoping that the Dark Elves would give them something edible for humans.

‘We can only hope that they are going to feed us and whatever the Dark Elves give us is edible for humans. If they summoned us, they would want to give us decent-tasting food, right? Haah... But with how my luck has been going lately, it most likely will taste like crap.’ Ryan thought as he slumped down in defeat. Anyway, Ryan decided to head back to his side of the room where the bed was and take a seat on it.
