Its cold.
In the count of three. A flash of light snapped in our direction. The picture taken appeared in Yuki’s hands and was presented to all of us. “It's such a great photo.” “Let's print another one and put it on our guild.” “That’s a great idea.” A copy of the picture was given to me by Yuki and staring at it. I can't help myself but feel overjoyed. This is my precious friend. “Thank you, everyone…” In a blink of an eye. Everyone went missing. Yuki, Clover, Ronie, and Saya. The players in the restaurant and the staff working. Confused I stood up slowly and turned my head around. I exit the restaurant and look to the park. The park is always packed with people and NPC’s. There is no way for this place to be empty. This game won't have a day and night cycle, but now the sky was color orange. The sun was setting together with a strong blow of wind. I felt anxious and got nervous. “Maybe, it's just a game error… I should just log out and log in afterward.” I pressed the menu button
Looking me directly into my eyes was an unknown boy. He looks young and ages not far from mine.“A mermaid?”A mermaid? Me?“... Umm… Probably not…”He turned his glance to my lower part, especially to my feet.I then realized how wet my clothes are and slightly revealing my skin. Embarrassed, I immediately hug my body and turn my glance away from him.He pulled up the net to the ground. I get out of the net and squeeze my clothes to release water. The black-haired boy approached me and hand over a towel.He can’t look me in my eyes for a moment and blushes.Maybe he also realizes the terrible thing he did to a maiden like me.“Umm… I never saw you in this city before. Where did you come from?”He asked.He's asking me? I have never seen such an intelligent NPC. This man looks like a real human. The water also feels like water in the real world. The sunlight feels hot. I never felt this sensation in a fantasy world online before. His face is also a bit red. Is he flustered? NPC that c
My name is Kishimoto Kaede. A young maiden and my hobby s playing VRMMORPG, especially the game called Fantasy world online. It was the summer cup and we were going to finals. That’s what I thought, I suddenly woke up in this unknown world.This might be the thing they called Isekai.Another world similar to my own, but not really. Animals in this world are different. Dangerous monsters existed along with adventurers. This is a world of swords and sorcery. Without a doubt, this is a fantasy world.I’m a fan of anime. I’m quite fond of these settings already. But to think that I’m going to be transported to another world is still unbelievable. Totally, unbelievable.Why I’m transported? Why I’m here? What happened in my real world? My house, My friends…I missed them already.Thus, I wrote in my journal.It's already night and it's already been two weeks since I arrived in this city.“What should I do now?”If you are wondering what’s happening. The summary was…I’m stuck in this place
“Shun is a murderer… He already killed many people. Being friends with him will do no good.”“You can say anything, but don’t say mean things to Shun. Shun help me and give me a place to stay. I will only believe if it's Shun who said that… Please excuse me… I have to go.”I said.The girl stepped aside and let me pass through. When I passed by her I saw her face. Her expression was mad. I don’t want to talk to her anymore so I just ignored her and let go.I do hate people like her. Saying mean things to people they don’t fully know.Shun is especially a kind man from my perspective. Despite sleeping beside me. He stayed behaved. I admit that I have my hesitation at first. Eventually, I notice that his just a kind man.While I’m on my way home.I saw Shun already outside of the house. Outside the house his already roasting so fish and cooking a hot pot at the same time. I run toward him and take a look.My upbeat feeling while in the hot pot was replaced with disappointment when I sa
On the next day, I decided to sneak out of the city without Shun knowing. If he doesn’t want to go with me then, I’ll find a way in testing my idea.The day was bright same as the weather. The wind breeze feels good. Different from the city where I used to live. The air feels fresher and there is no pollution.I have a dagger in my hand a dagger I bought at a low price in a weapon shop. It is quite sharp and I can see my reflection in it.First, I have to go to the forest and find some low-level monsters. The reason for that is leveling.Like in any other game. Higher-level means stronger. The higher level you became you’ll be granted to access many different things in the RPG world.Remembering, I just got lucky in the fantasy world online and got skills that I can use to defeat other high-level players. For ordinary players leveling is the sure way to become stronger.I got this idea after thinking about the adventurers and monsters.Inside a game-like world, to level defeating mons
“I’m very sorry, Kaede but in your current situation… Umm… You know.”Miss Viola averted her eyes as she speak with me.“Nope, It's fine.”I said and turned my crutches away from her.Why I’m here? I know that she won’t accept me. After six months of absence from work. Of course, there is nothing for me to go back to.“Kaede!”Miss Viola called out. She approaches me and puts something in my pocket. Checking, It was 20 silver coins. I was puzzled about why Miss Viola would do something for me.“Why? I never do any work…”“... Take it… I feel bad for what happened to you… Promise me… Don’t lose hope okay.”I nodded and bow my head to her.“Thank you.”After I meet with my former employer. I go to a library that I never got to visit for a very long time.When can use my hand and move my arms? I always asked Shun to get one book for me. Little by little, I learned how to read, but not very fluent in other people.I started reading children’s books. Especially short stories. Reading books
With each passing day, the wind comes from the north, softly stirring the surface of the blue lake water. Sun's light reflected off the ripples, transforming into complex and tiny flickers of colors.Besides this wide like was a giant tree.Grasping the ax.Swinging upwards.Striking down.It might be just those actions, but if the mind was distracted even slightly, the reaction from the hard bark would bounce back relentlessly to both arms. Breathing, timing, speed, shifting of body weight, all of them must be perfectly controlled from the beginning, transmitting the hidden power from the heavy blade of the ax to the tree, producing a pleasant, clear, high-pitched sound.While he could understand the theory well, actually doing it wasn't that simple.Noah was given this task in spring when he was ten, and it would be the second coming of summer since then, yet he could only get that pleasant feedback once out of ten swings.He was told by his fellow ax users that his predecessor, alw
“I think... I know where we can find the ice we’re looking for. It's quite dangerous but I’m sure about it.”Yuna attracted The attention of the three other kids with her words. She lifted her head and searches for the sun. She pinpointed the direction where they were and afterward she used her index finger. Pointing toward the northern land.“There! The Ice can be found over there.”“What do you mean by there? It's just stiff mountains I can see over there.”Noah said.“Nope above that stuff mountains… Sister told us that in a higher place, the temperature was lower, became of the cold climate above the mountain glaciers is created.”“Going there just to get Ice was far too dangerous. Just climbing that mountain makes a high probability of a monster encounter… I don’t want to risk my life because of one cold stone.”Noah’s words make sense. It's true for kids like them. Climbing a stiff mountain full of monsters is dangerous. Outside the wall of Stella was already dangerous. The fore
