Figuring Out Are New World

MY NAME IS Kurosaki Kiyomaro. My family and friends call me Kiyo. I'm sixteen years old, one hundred and seventy centimeters tall. I have black hair and brown eyes. I have a twin sister named Kino. We're close but not so close that people think I have a sister complex. My grandfather started training me in Kendo at age three. For thirteen years I honed my skills. Training every morning before school and every evening after school in my family's dojo. In hopes of one day being the first in my family to make it to the level of tenth Don. I'm the youngest vice captain in my Kendo Club even though I'm only in my second year of high school.

My name is Kurosaki Kino I'm sixteen years old. One hundred and fifty-seven centimeters tall with black hair, and brown eyes. I have a twin brother named Kiyomaro. We're close but I don't have a brother complex or anything like that. From the time I could crawl I was always on the go exploring everywhere I went. It's probably why I have a great love for traveling. Because of this my father had me trained in armed and unarmed combat to keep me safe. I learned Judo firs t then over time I started learning Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do, and a few other things. I also love running so I joined the Track Club at school. I'm currently in my second year of high school.

So here we are in a new world. The sky is clear, the sun is shining, and judging by the temperature it's summertime. What a great way to start living in a new world. Well it would be if we weren't surrounded by people in hooded robes, except for two of them. There're five in red robes and two in green robes pointing weapons at us ready to attack. Another is wearing orange and holding a book. The last two aren't dressed like the rest, but are dressed in what looks like leather armor. "Hey Kino, quick question."

"What's that Kiyo?"

"Do you remember your training?"

"I do. How about you? Do you remember your training?"

"I do. So it seems like we've kept our memories after all."

"Seems that way."

"Who are you two?" Asks one of the two dressed in armor.

"My name is Kiyomaro Kurosaki, and this is Kino Kurosaki my sister. Huh that's weird. Why did I introduce us that way?"

"Probably happened when we arrived here. After all that's how Odin addressed us." Kino answers with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Who sent you?" Asks the other one in armor.

"We were sent here by the Council of Gods." Kino replies.

"Your a damn liar!"

"Why would I lie?"

"The Council of Gods sent you. That's a lie. For there is only one God of this world, and that is The One True God."

"I see, so that's the religious belief of this world. Tell me does the rest of the world follow this belief?" Asks Kiyomaro.

"They will for that is are sworn duty as True Believers."

"True Believers?"

"That's right we are all True Believers. We follow the teachings of The One True God. Those that don't follow his teachings will be killed. So will you two join us, or do we kill you right here right now?" This question comes from the one in orange.

"Join you or die. Hmm what to do, what to do. Hey Kino..."

Before Kiyomaro could finish his sentence. Kino is already in motion landing a front kick to the closest attacker. Sending the man flying backwards.

"Did you say something Kiyo?"

"I was gonna say not to go overboard, but never mind."

"I'll have to train a bit with these shoes. I thought I was holding back oh well. Who's next?"

"KILL THEM!!!"

"Iaijutsu."

"Roundhouse Kick."

A couple minutes later all the True Believers are lying on the ground unconscious.

"Well now what?" Kino asks.

"Hmm…. let me try something, Inventory. Well look at that I have an Inventory Display, and this black hole looking thing must be how we store/retrieve items."

"Let me try Inventory. Wow this shows what I have with me right now. My Shoes of Hermes and Unknown Garments are equipped. This is so cool."

"We should find a change of clothes so we don't stand out so much." Suggests Kiyomaro.

"Let's take their robes."

"Let's not start stealing Kino."

"Excuse me over here. Can you help us out?"

"Holy crap what are you?" Asks Kino a bit surprised.

"I'm Leo, a Demi human. All of us in this cage are."

The twins keep staring at this massive creature that is talking to them. While the smaller Demi humans in the cage are staring back at the twins. Kino is the first to speak.

"Didn't you hear us talking with those robed idiots?"

"No, they used magic to both silence and conceal us. We could only watch you nothing else."

"So this world has Demi humans, and magic." Asks Kiyomaro.

"Yes it does. There's also beast-kin and demons, but how do you not know this?"

"We came from another world. A world with no magic, Demi humans beast-kin, or demons only humans." Replies Kiyomaro.

"Only humans, so you're like the True Believers then?" Leo asks them.

"How so? Kino asks."

"True Believers follow the teachings of The One True God. That teaching tells them that anything not fully human is evil, and needs to be killed. Any humans that don't side with them are considered traitors to their kind and are to be killed on sight."

"Look Leo, that's not what we believe in. My sister and I are nothing like them."

"That's good to hear. So any chance you can get us out of here? The keys should be with one of them."

"Here they are." Kino proclaims holding them up.

"Thanks, it was really cramped in there. Now where is my gear?"

Now standing fully upright it's clear that Leo is a good one hundred and eighty-two centimeters tall. He's bald with black eyes. And is only wearing a pair of white canvas pants.

"Ah ha! There's my gear. " After several minutes have passed, Leo is now fully dressed in an open front cobalt blue long vest tunic, his white canvas pants of course, and black boots. He's now armed with a flanged mace and bronze shield both are in need of repair. While Leo was getting dressed the other Demi humans had taken off.

"I gotta say it was impressive watching you guys. What rank are you?"

"I don't know my rank." Kiyomaro replies.

"I don't know mine either."

"Just say Status."

The twins say status at the same time.

"You should now see your own personal status display. In the top right will be your rank." Leo informs them.

"I'm SS ranked." Reports Kiyomaro.

"I'm SS ranked too."

"No way that's the top rank you can get. What class are you two? Look left of your rank."

"It's blank." Kino tells them.

"So is mine. It's only displaying my name, rank, equipped gear, and that's it. I see a skill list section, but that's also blank." Kiyomaro reports.

"That's not possible. Everyone should have at least their basic skill set listed. What skills did you use to fight with?"

"The skills we used are what we learned back in our world. That's probably why everything is different for us here in this world."

"Hmm… You could be right about that. After all you guys did appear out of nowhere."

"You didn't see a door appear first did you?" Kiyomaro asks Leo.

"Nope, just you two suddenly standing there."

"So now what?" Asks Kino.

"Let's head to the guild over in Snapdragon Village. It's not that far from here. Hopefully they can help you guys." Suggests Leo.

"Alright, but first how about proper introductions. My name is Kiyomaro Kurosaki, or Kiyo for short."

"I'm Kino Kurosaki."

"Leo Blackbriar it's nice to meet you, and thank you for setting us free. So you two are siblings?"

"Yes, fraternal twins actually." Kino happily answers.

"Well alright then let's get going shall we."

"So judging by your appearance you're a black rhino."

"You are correct Kino."

"What's the difference between Demi humans and beast-kin?"

"We'll Demi humans like myself look more like animals with similarities to humans. We walk up right, have hands, and feet and so on. Whereas beast-kin look more human with similarities to animals. Like cat ears and tails, or a full set of wings in place of arms and hands. Demons have their own category of appearance."

"Hmm I see. Are there any lion Demi humans?"

"Yes Kino there is. Why are you scared of lions?"

"No, in the world we come from Leo means lion, and you're a rhino. It's just funny to me."

"I was named after the former leader of the lions. His name was Leo Pridehart. My father Tank Blackbriar and Leo banded together to stop the True Believers during an invasion into both our territories. They won but at the cost of their lives."

"So do both lion and rhino Demi humans co-exist side by side now?" Asks Kiyo.

"We do, but we also clash on some things. That's just how it goes."

"Hey Leo what's your rank and class?" Kino asks.

"I'm D ranked in the Tanker Class."

"Is D rank the lowest in the rankings?"

"Yes, it is Kiyo. Once you reach D rank in your respective class you can take on quests that are based on your rank."

"What's the Tanker Class about?"

"Well Kino, the Tanker Class is for those who have higher defensive skills than the other classes."

"How many classes are there?"

"Seven in all."

"What are the other six classes? " Asks Kiyo.

"Warrior, Assassin, Healer, Hunter, Mage, and Summoner."

"Who classified you as a Tanker?"

"That's one of the many jobs the guilds oversee."

"I wonder what my class will be? " I can hardly wait Kino remarks.

"You'll find out in a bit we're almost there."
