The next day, Shawn woke up early in the morning, excited to go to school to see his crush, who turned out to be Ava. His memories in another world were flashing back in his mind like a sequence of faded photographs, from the moment they met to the moment they parted in different ways.Shawn didn't expect that their story wouldn't end that way when he came back to this world. He really thought he was sent alone. He still remembered how they fought those dragons together and got wounded, as well as Ava's reaction every time she got annoyed.In his gray pajamas and black t-shirt with the face of an adorable kitten wearing a red headband on it, Shawn left his bed with a smile on his face and continued to the dining room. He heard his parents having a conversation about contemporary issues while having coffee.Lyon would usually check the headlines of the newest newspaper, and that would turn out to be their topic every morning. Shawn didn't really care about it, but he was thankful to ha
After having a conversation with Alice about how she got there and her current identity as a girl named Bambie Lee, Shawn continued to Jefferson High School to attend his morning class, but as he entered the gate, he was shocked to see the situation.There was a huge commotion, or a chaos, as ferocious monsters, which were commonly seen in games and movies, were attacking the teachers and students inside the campus. Everyone was running back and forth, shouting for help and begging for their lives.Shawn knew he had to help them, but he was stuck on his feet and couldn't even move, as if he were traumatized by those experiences he had with the monsters who were now running towards him and ready to kill him.Fortunately, Ava arrived on time. She tapped Shawn's shoulder, and whispered to him to let her deal with those monsters while he assisted the injured. She was actually late for their morning class again.Ava dashed towards the monsters, slashing their heads one by one with her newl
After finishing their food, Ava showed Shawn what she had learned. This time, she successfully cooked rice and chicken curry. They might not be perfect and as tasty as Shawn's cooking, but she did her best, so Shawn complimented Ava on her efforts."I can't do it without your guidance, Shawn." Ava smiled gracefully. "I'm so thankful that you teach me how to cook, and I'm feeling sorry that I've borrowed some of your precious time.""Don't worry about it, Ava. I'm just returning the favor. You've never let me alone when we were in your world, so I think it's my turn to help you from now on," Shawn replied, gazing at Ava's sparkling golden eyes with so much admiration.Outside, Charlotte had just arrived. She smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen. She wondered who was cooking there since she didn't know that her daughter didn't have class and her family wouldn't usually visit without informing her.As she entered the kitchen, Charlotte was surprised to see her daughter wit
"Where am I?" Shawn wondered when he opened his eyes and found out he was lost in the middle of nowhere. It was a place he had never been; it wasn't familiar at all, and everything seemed different."What's going on here?" he asked again, seeing dust floating with the wind, creating a tornado. "What the hell? Is this a joke?" He screamed in shock and ran as the tornado became greater than he anticipated."Stop!" An unfamiliar girl, wearing a lilac shirt and pants, shouted at him. She had long, straight black hair and violet eyes that were sharp as daggers. She moved swiftly towards him and asked, "What are you doing here, stranger?""Stranger?" Shawn replied in a curious tone. "I don't know; I don't know what I am doing here. Am I not dead yet? Aren't you an angel fallen from heaven?" He lightly scratched his head and smiled like this was a joke before saying, "I think I'm lost.""What are you talking about? Of course you're lost; you might have been from another kingdom, because you
Days before, Shawn was living an ordinary life on earth. He was a student at Jefferson High School. Just like other people, he had a low profile. He loved keeping things private, never posting on social media about what was going on in his life, and never trusting anyone, not even his own family.That day, about one o'clock in the afternoon, he and his best friend, Justin, were crossing the highway when a rushing ambulance suddenly appeared. His friend managed to survive, but he was hit and died on the spot. That ambulance didn't have a chance to bring him to a hospital; he was brought to a morgue instead.He would usually crack a joke to his classmates, telling them that if they were tired of their lives, they should not worry because there was free makeup in a funeral home, but he couldn't imagine or never expect that he would taste that free makeup first."Hang in there, Shawn!" were the last words he heard from his friend before everything turned dark. He wished he had lost his vi
Shawn was shocked by what he saw as he opened his eyes. Ava was inside his room, sleeping beside him, and they were hugging each other.He was dumbfounded for a while, then he quickly withdrew his arms and stood up to avoid being misinterpreted, but he didn't know what to do as his ugly thoughts began swirling around his head.He didn't know how this woman got inside his room; he couldn't recall anything. Was there something that happened between them?"You're awake?" Ava asked in a sleepy tone. She rubbed her eyelids and gazed at Shawn. "You looked shocked; is there something wrong?""Nothing, um, by the way, what are you doing in my room?" Shawn asked while holding a bolster."Your room?" Ava asked and looked around. "What am I doing here?" She suddenly stood up and walked towards Shawn, thinking about what happened last night. She couldn't even sleep because he kept snoring and squeezing her breasts.Shawn was surprised by what Ava did next. Her palm left a reddish mark on his skin
Shawn arrived at the front of the vast Forbidden Forest. He saw a placard nailed to a huge oak tree. It warned him to take care of the dangerous creatures such as creepers, which explode, skeletons that shoot arrows, zombies, and aggressive Endermen that might be strolling around.Without hesitation, Shawn began his journey to the forest. While walking, he glanced at the monochrome drawing Emma gave him before he left the capital. He started looking around for the thought that he might find what he was looking for.He found other plants such as nether wart, kelp, vines, poppy, azure bluet, oxeye daisy, rose bush, and tulips, but he hadn't seen any clover plants yet. He also encountered some slimes leaping around, but they weren't dangerous at all because of their low levels."It's too early to give up," Shawn reminded himself, and he continued his journey. He didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get one.As he walked in the woodland, he saw an orc approaching him from the bu
It wasn't easy to take the clover leaves since there were many orcs watching over them. Without hesitation, Shawn did his best to help Alice kill them because it was his task after all, and he also wanted to become stronger.It was quite convenient to have the equipment he borrowed from the adventurer's guild, as he used it to attack the orcs and defend himself. He wasn't hurt due to his silvery-white armor, and he could fight the orcs using his sword.“Are you okay?" Alice asked and slashed an orc that growled behind her. She had fully mastered her skills as a superspeed, and killing those orcs was just a piece of cake for her, unlike Shawn, who was already struggling. “Do you need help? It seems like you can't defeat an average-size orc.""What? An average-size? How can you say that if it is the largest orc I have ever seen?" Shawn asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.Alice laughed at him mockingly and sneered, "Please step back, mister strange. Let me handle this ogre before it c
