The Human Saint Is Bored, So I Was Summoned To Another World

When I opened my eyes, all I can see is a face.

"Hmm…what?" I involuntary muttered, since I'm still half-asleep.

"What?" The person replied, curtly.

"Huh?!" When my mind cleared, I realized that a beautiful girl is looking down on me. I was surprised and quickly got up, but…

"OW!" We both blurted out.

Apparently, I hit her chin when I sprung up. However, it doesn't matter now. I need to ask the important questions first…which is,

"Hey, who the hell are you?" I grumbly asked. You see, I'm a private guy. I don't like it when someone suddenly shows up in my room uninvited.

"…"

But well, now that I was able to take a good look at the girl before me, I immediately noticed her long silver hair. And her silvery eyebrows. And her silvery, blue eyes.

Yep, a real beauty. Something around the level of the goddesses.

"Weeelllll…" I don't know if the girl really intended to elongate that, but she looked at me with confusion, "My name is Madelaine Ann Rubinforth. I know my name's pretty long so they just call me Maddie. And you are?"

"Me? I'm…" My voice immediately died down and I looked at the girl named Maddie with horror.

"Hmm?" Maddie stared intently at me with inquisitive eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Err…uh…my name." I think blood was drained from my face, "I don't remember anything about it." My eyes went around in panic, and realized something much terrible.

The walls, the pillars, even the ceiling…This isn't the room I was in before I slept. I was not in my house anymore.

"That's odd." Maddie replied, seemingly deep in thought, "I did follow the instructions given to me, but all that happened is I summoned a strange person."

"Huh?! Summoned?" I did remember some stories I read before about someone being summoned into another world and becoming a big-shot or something of the sort. "Does this mean, this is another world?"

Maddie stared blankly at me, "What are you talking about? Are you telling me that there are other worlds than this one? Aren't you a human?"

"Well, I'm indeed a human." I replied, "But where I came from, there's not one human with a silver hair such as yours."

Maddie gave me a rather proud look, "Of course. I am a special existence." She had this smug look on her face as puffed her c.h.e.s.t, "If you still don't know, you're currently talking to the great 'Saint of Chersea'."

"Oh." I blurted out nonchalantly.

"HAH?!" Maddie displayed a rather surprised and annoyed expression, "Is that all that you have to say? You're in front of one of the most beautiful, generous and powerful girls in the entire land and all that you say is 'Oh'?"

I looked at Maddie with utter disinterest. Sure enough, she's a beautiful girl but, well, I'm not that good with people like her. In fact, I kind of hate that type of self-absorbed attitude.

So anyway, I took the time to push on with what I had in mind, "So uh, 'Great Saint Maddie', can you return me to my room?"

"Eh? What are you talking about?"

"I asked if you can return me to my room. Maybe my memories would come back as well." I explained.

"Impossible."

"Figures." Well, I did expect this result. The stories I have read before had this kind of setting as well. They can summon the guy, but of course, they won't be able to return him to his old world…or the narrative would end.

Now that I think about it, am I in some kind of a novel or what?

"You seem pretty calm given your situation, Mister."

"Well, I've read many stories before that is similar to my situation." I looked around, taking note of the pure white walls, the imposing marble pillars that dotted that place at regular intervals, and the high, domed ceiling. "Yep, I do think I'm in a different world. What's this place called again?"

"Chersea. You're in the continent of Chersea." Maddie replied.

"I see. From what I can recall, I came from a place called Earth." I told her, "And though we got seven continents, none of it has the name of 'Chersea'."

"Ooh…the 'seven continents' part is already unbelievable." Maddie's eyes were round in a sheer display of interest, "And here I thought I summoned a weirdo."

"Hey…" I felt slightly insulted with that; but no matter, I'll just let it pass. "Anyway, since I was summoned by you means that I'm needed for something, right? So, what do you want from me, Miss 'Great Saint'?"

"Ah right!" Maddie clapped her hands as if she remembered something important, "Actually, I summoned you because I'm bored."

"Haha…surely, you jest." I let out a dry, sarcastic laugh.

"Nope." Maddie snapped her fingers and out came a gilded bed in an instant.

Magic.

That must be magic, as your standard fantasy story should have. She then let herself fall on the cushions and pillows, "Haa…I wanted to summon something and maybe create a ruckus, but for some reason, a normal person appeared. Now all of my excitement is gone. Poof! Just like that, in an instant."

Then, without further ado, the Great Saint of Chersea named Maddie went to sleep.

I was left dumbfounded by this girl who claims that she's a saint.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey!"

"…"

"Heeeyyyy!"

Uhh…this again? Did I wake up from the 'otherworldly' dream? I opened my eyes. Another shining white environment.

"Ah, finally!" a happy voice chirped in, "Welcome!"

"Did I get summoned once again?"

"Of course not!"

"I see. No wonder I can't remember my name. So where in hell is this?"

I heard the voice laugh, "No silly! This isn't hell of course."

"Then this is heaven?"

"Nah. Wrong."

"Some sort of a purgatory?"

"Uhh…maybe if you stop asking questions, I can explain to you?"

"Alright." Then I fell quiet.

"Anyway, welcome to the land called Chersea, Mister…"

"I just told you, I can't remember my name."

"Right…" the voice trailed away, before going loud again, "Again, welcome!"

"Yeah, I know. You just welcomed me before that."

"Err…sorry. It's just that, it's my first-time welcoming otherworldly people like you. I'm shy around others, see?"

"Oh okay." I nodded my head in agreement with the disembodied voice. And then suddenly, it dawned on me, "Wait a minute…I think I get it now. Isn't this—ISN'T THIS THE OBLIGATORY 'ISEKAI' SCENE WHERE THE PROTAGONIST MEETS THE DEITY OF THE WORLD HE GETS SUMMONED AT? SO YOU'RE THE GOD OF THIS PLACE? AM I GETTING AN OVERPOWERED ATTRIBUTE? HOW MANY GIRLS WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH ME IN THIS PLACE?"

"H-hold on a b-bit!" the disembodied voice said, stammering. "Can you please slow down?"

"Ah, sorry! I got too excited."

"Anyway, close your eyes for a bit."

So I did what the voice told me to do. Then when it ordered me to open up, what came into my view is a lush green valley dotted with a few trees and bisected with a calm river at the middle. The azure sky is clear of clouds, yet the sun is shining not too bright nor did it give extreme heat.

The scene is utterly breathtaking…

"I didn't know that Chersea is this beautiful." I blurted out, fascinated.

"Yes…" The voice added, "Only, this isn't Chersea."

"What?! Then if this isn't Chersea, where is this?"

"Just a randomly generated scenery for you to enjoy. Think of it like the wallpaper of the old Windows XP, only without that scary login sound. And proof that this isn't heaven nor hell as you think it is." The voice's pace is getting fast, "And I'm not a god too, so there's no overpowered skill, nor am I capable of making girls fall in love to you. And this isn't an obligatory scene from an overused novel theme either."

"Ah alright, alright. Please slow down as well." I turned my attention to the scene before me, "So whatever-or-whoever-you-are, why did you made me appear in this place? Need something from me?"

"Nothing much as well."

This again? Seriously, is the theme 'powerful-gods-or-saints-or-whoever-they-are-summoning-unsuspecting people-from-other-worlds-just-for-their-satisfaction' the trend nowadays?

Why did this voice even bring me here? Why did even I come to Chersea if I'm unneeded?

"Ah, about that, I'm sorry for my little mistake. I actually brought you here precisely because I'd like to apologize for it, and to explain this matter to you." It replied to the question in my mind.

So this fellow can read my thoughts?

"Precisely. I'm a powerful being after all." It added.

"Okay I get it." I just shrugged in an exasperated acceptance of my situation, "So, would you mind explaining to me what 'mistake' did you do in connection to my summoning?"

"Yes…well, technically it's not really a mistake. You see, that summoning circle the Human Saint, Madelaine Ann Rubinforth, used contains a spell dedicated for transporting you here in Chersea. I gave it to her accidentally."

"Ahh…" So it was an accident, huh? Now I get it—

WAIT, WHAT?! You're planning on summoning me after all! Who are you anyway?

"Err…uh, can you please calm down for a bit? I did want to summon you, but not now."

Can you show yourself? Don't you know I look stupid here talking to a disembodied voice?

"Oh…okay…Please wait a moment."

Then silence prevailed for several minutes. I'm starting to get creeped out and was already thinking if that disembodied voice has left me when I felt someone appear behind me.

I quickly turned around to see who it is…

"…"

And I saw another beautiful girl standing and smiling at me. She had a long, shiny black hair tied in a braid and a cheerful pair of eyes. She seemed to be around 16 years of age to me, but what caught my attention the most is the pair of big, pure white wings on her back.

An angel?!

"H-hello!" the girl spoke to break the ice, "Did my appearance satisfy you? I'm sorry to say, but I'm never an angelic being like you think I am. If I may put my existence to you in a single word, you may call me a 'Saint'.

"Saint?!" I was surprised, "Like that silver-haired girl who summoned me?"

The girl gave a nod for an answer.

"I didn't know you guys are too powerful."

"Well, in this world, we Saints are an exceptional existence. There's no god or goddess assigned in guiding everyday life in Chersea, unlike the old Earth. Instead, the gods grant divine powers to their chosen representatives in this land. That's what we are, the Saints."

"Whoa. That's a pretty heavy responsibility, eh?" I commented, "Divine powers, huh? No wonder that silver-haired Saint managed to summon me."

"I'm happy you managed to absorb all of those in one explanation." The black-haired Saint smiled, "This proves you really are that person…"

Err…hold on, you talk like you know something about me.

"Eh?!" the black-haired Saint began to panic, "Err…uh, well…n-no…"

So you do know about me; your expression gives it all away, even if you try to deny it!

"Err…uhm, please d-don't stare at m-me that much!" the black-haired Saint's face was beet red.

"Sorry."

"It's fine!" she replied, still fl.u.s.tered but smiling, "Well, honestly, I do know you. However, I can't tell everything about you in one go, see?"

Why's that? Can't you at least tell me about my name?

"S-sorry, I can't! If I do that, I won't get too much screen time."

Ha?

"Please don't mind me. Haha…" the black-haired Saint scratched her head, "A-anyway, if you wish to know more about yourself, please come find me at a place called Lake Antares."

Antares? Can't you just tell the information I need right here, since you're already wasting your powers?

"Hmm, as much as I'd like to have a chat with you, I think you need to go back now."

"Oh, okay I guess." I prepared myself to be transported back to that white room of the silver-haired Saint.

"…"

However, something else besides my identity is bothering me about the girl I was talking to just now…I want to ask her a question but I can't properly construct what I would ask her.

"Now if you'd close your eyes, the moment you wake up you'll have to be quick and prepared. Are you ready?"

"Yeah…"

And then, just as I closed my eyes…

"!!!"

I realize the question that's been bothering me.

"Ah! Black-haired Saint, before I go I'd like to ask why do you talk like you know my old world?"

The black-haired Saint was visibly surprised by what I asked her. However, her lips drew a beautiful yet nostalgic sad smile. Then she said,

"Well, it's because I also came from Earth, you know?"

After hearing that, my vision was filled with pure white, before it blacked out.

Wait. I didn't even manage to get that Saint's name.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The next thing that happened, I was rudely awakened by loud clanging and crashing noises. I immediately sprung up from the floor and looked around.

"…"

There was a young girl in a maid outfit standing by the door and was staring at me with a horrible expression.

"…err, hello?" I waved a little at her, trying to diffuse the sudden tension by our meeting.

And then…

"KYAAAAAA!!! THERE'S A BOY INSIDE HER HOLINESS' ROOM! HEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!" I think that shout rang throughout the entire place.

"Wait—please calm down!" I frantically looked towards the bed of the silver-haired saint, Maddie, trying to find someone who'll back me up.

Man, this girl can sleep like a rock!

I mean, that scream by the maid almost tore my eardrums yet the Saint kept on sleeping as if nothing happened.

The maid pulled a wand from her uniform then pointed it towards me, "Stay where you are, pervert, or Eris will incinerate you! Don't you know it's a crime to enter Her Holiness' quarters without her permission?"

"Oh, is it?"

Shit. Looks like I'm in for some deep trouble…

"Well, not yet." The maid was taken aback, and lowered her wand a little as she pondered, "But Eris thinks the council of the human kings will issue a decree about trespassing in Her Holiness' room? ANYWAY! The 'incinerate' part of Eris' threat is real, so don't you move a muscle!"

"Err…I, uh, will you please hear me out first?" I pleaded. "I've done nothing wrong with that sleeping girl, I swear. In fact, if you'll look at it, she's the one at fault for bringing me here!"

"HA?!" the maid's face became even more scary, "Did Eris hear what you just said?"

"Well, duh…isn't it obvious? We're less than a few meters away from each other."

"Oh right. Sorry Eris got carried away. Haha…" The maid then composed herself before shouting, "BLASPHEMY! YOU JUST SAID BLASPHEMY TOWARDS THE HOLY SAINT! YOU'RE BLAMING HER FOR YOUR SINS! UNACCEPTABLE!" Her shrill voice is enough for me to wince and try to cover my ears; I looked back at Saint Maddie hoping that she's up by those shouts…

Yep, she's still soundly sleeping.

What the freaking hell?

"Good lord, my trouble keeps on increasing…" I panicked while thinking of the various legal cases that will be slapped on me at Chersea's justice court—if there's any, "Even blaming the Saint is a crime here?"

"Actually, not yet as well." The maid replied, "But Eris thinks it will be soon."

"What made you say that?"

"Eris just thinks so."

God, I'm trapped in a world full of weirdos.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"KYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA!!!"

The entire place was currently being shaken by various explosions here and there, courtesy by the assorted magic spells being thrown at me by the infuriated servants of Her Holiness.

Naturally, I ran for my life.

And yes, that girly scream came from me just now.

It seems the Saint's maids can use magic, and they can do it with deadly precision. I can see blood in their eyes, and feel their d.e.s.i.r.e to obliterate me as soon as possible.

"LET ME EXPLAIN MY SIDE PLEASE!!!"

"BURN THAT BOY! DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!"

"WHAT DID I EVEN DO TO DESERVE THIS?!!!!"

"ALL MEN ARE PERVERTS AND PERVERTS ARE ALL MEN!" the maids are saying that while marching in unison. And hey, when did they get those red banners with a swastika? And why are they doing the goose-step now? And why is that maid at the front wearing a toothbrush mustache while doing a 'Nazi' salute?

"Hitler, is that you?" I muttered a rhetorical question.

Ah anyway, I have to run.

Another fire spell shot from behind me and landed just a few yards from where I am. Fortunately, I managed to evade it before it exploded. The explosion broke all the glass windows that lined up along the hallway and the shards were scattered on the floor.

It is then that I realize, I was barefooted when I got summoned.

Great!

The maids were getting near, and in front of me were the shards of broken glass.

Oh well, there's no time for pain here, I guess. Between a sore, bloodied foot or sure obliteration by crazy servants, I'd gladly choose the former.

Here we go! F.U.C.K.I.N.G RUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!! OW! OUCH! DAMN IT, OW!

Now I remember the words of that black-haired saint, 'The moment you wake up you'll have to be quick and prepared.' I didn't expect that my life would depend on it.

"UWWWWOOOOHHHH!!!"

Actually, the broken windows were a god-send. Because of those, I can escape to the outside world faster than going around in circles; the chances of me getting lost inside this place is pretty high, after all.

I think I'll be an action-hero for now and get out of this place, by jumping through one of those.

GERONIMO!!!

"Oh shit…this is the second floor. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

I think my scream tore through the entire place like the shouts of that freaky maid earlier.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah.

I guess I'm still alive?

And this is outside?

"…"

Yeah, I can see the blue skies as well as the plants on what seemed to be a garden. Well, I can feel and move my limbs quite fine too, though my feet had this really painful sensation.

It must be full of lacerations from those broken glasses earlier.

"…"

Anyway, ugh, I got to escape from this stupid place…Even. If. I. Have. To. Crawl.

"…" I stopped dead on my path. There is a pair of boots in front of me.

I'm so freaking dead.

"Hey, can you walk?" The boots spoke!

Oh, who am I kidding, of course it's a maid.

"I, uh, I think I hurt my feet." I honestly told her.

"Yeah, indeed you are." she took a good look. "Did you step on broken glasses?"

"I actually came falling from the second floor. Your comrades are seeking to butcher me. Well, if you plan to turn me over to them, go ahead. I'm done for whether you capture me or not anyway."

"Nah, don't worry." She set my back against a tree and began to check for injuries, "My cute subordinates are really zealous when it comes to protecting Her Holiness that sometimes they get unreasonable. I, however, am a voice of reason in this place. Please be at ease."

Finally, a normal person!

Tears are welling up on my eyes, but I need to stop it. This isn't the time to cry…

"!!!"

Yeah, this isn't the time to cry!

Those crazy maids have spotted us and are aiming their wands at me.

Good lord, they really do intend to obliterate me…

"FIREBALL!" "WATER BLAST!" "ICY WIND!" "ROCK BULLET!"

"!!!"

And even more crazy is this other maid on my side. She stood in front of me with wand in hand to block those incoming spells.

Oh shit! I need to do—

"ROCK SHIELD!"

A huge wall of granite then appeared in front of the maid and shielded us from those violent attacks. The magic salvo almost destroyed our defense, but it eventually held on…though I think the friendly maid's energy got sapped trying to maintain that formidable barrier. Her legs began to wobble, after all.

"Head maid! Why are you defending that vermin?" someone from the opposing group called out to her.

"At least listen to his reasons before you point your wands!" the Head Maid answered, "Don't go throwing those dangerous spells without talking it out first!"

I'm saved! I'm really glad I met this angel!

"But a filthy boy like him entered the room of Her Holiness! How can we reason with him?"

"…" The Head Maid fell silent.

Uhh…don't tell me you fell for their twisted logic, Head Maid?

"Well, that is indeed unforgivable." She admitted.

I'm doomed.

"FIREBALL!" "WATER BLAST!" "ICY WIND!" "ROCK BULLET!"

Here goes the salvo once again! The Head Maid was surprised by the sudden escalation of hostilities and had no time to dodge those spells.

Good lord, if those hit her, she'll be turned to dust in no time!

"…" And why do I keep narrating here instead of doing something?

Ah, f.u.c.k this!

Summoning all the strength I have, I lunged towards the Head Maid and pushed her away from the incoming projectiles.

Well, of course, I got no time to dodge that salvo.

Oh well. Goodbye Chersea! It's not that nice coming into your lands.

Then the magic attacks connected in a quick succession, pulverizing all in that small area that was targeted.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So I guess, this is heaven?

"…"

It's quite smoky in here, I think?

"Hey Mister."

And I can even hear a familiar voice.

"Mister, are you fine?"

"I think I'm dead." I answered.

"Well, if you can talk then it means you're not dead yet."

"Am I?" Then a strong wind blew the smoke and dust away. In front of me stood a proud figure, with flowing silver hair, and beautiful silvery-blue eyes.

It's Her Holiness herself, the Saint of Chersea.

"I was wondering what's the ruckus is all about, and here you are, playing around with my maids." She dusted herself. "I see that you guys made a mess of the Holy Palatial Gardens. It's really nice of you not letting me join in the fun, don't you think?" I can see a nasty smirk on the Saint's face.

Now that I remember, she told me before that she wanted to create a ruckus to appease her boredom…which led to my summoning…

But well, now's not the time to remember trivial matters.

"…"

I wondered how I survived those magic spells that were hurled on me.

"If you're wondering how you got past that…" seems like the Saint was able to read my thoughts—oh yeah, that black-haired saint from my dream is able, right? "You see Mister, we Saints are a special existence. Creating powerful barriers against petty magic attacks is a child's play for us. Now you may start praising me for saving you, you know."

"Uhh…praising the one at fault for taking responsibility for your current predicament…" I can only scratch my head in utter exhaustion, "This is really stupid."
