Okay, so from what I can tell this is definitely not a dream. I mean I already smacked myself a few times. Well then, I guess all that I can do is explore the area huh? I honestly am not ready to go into a town as I've been a shut in for so long I'd probably pass out at the town's gates. Alright! Let's take a look into the forest behind me!
After getting up from the ground I took one last look at the huge and beautiful cherry blossom tree that I was laying under and proceeded to head south into the forest. I decided to remember for future reference that there was a town barely visible off into the distance west of the tree. As I began to make it through the first layer of trees, I heard a strange musical tone go off in my head.
Ding! 'You are now entering the Forest of Dreams. Please proceed with caution. 50xp gained.'
Forest of Dreams... why am I getting vanilla light novel feels? I swear if I find a sexy princess knight about to get gang banged by a horde of goblins... Wait. I gained experience just because I found this forest? Let's see how much exp I need for me to reach level 2.
Level 1(50/2000)
I need 2000 exp to level up huh? Well let's continue, but before that I need to check out my gear that Jelia gave me. Let's see here...
Fulfilled Destiny

Holy crap! It's a cheat! A freaking cheat! Thank you Jelia! When I get a chance I will definitely learn how to carve and make a figurine of you to pray to. So it seems I came with some basic clothes that belongs to this world already equipped on me, so I don't have to go through the whole looking strange and suspicious vanilla beginning like people in my favorite stories. A pair of black trousers, and some combat boots. A dark green long sleeved shirt and a brown vest. On my waist there is a belt with a few empty pouches, and hanging off of my left hip is my new and super op sword. Alright let's get it! Monster slaughtering startooooo!!
The scenery in this forest is kind of beautiful if I'm being honest here. The trees here are all easily three times the size of the redwoods found in California in the USA back on Earth. And the trippy thing is that they are all different colors. Red, blue, green, pink, yellow etc. It looks like this forest should be called the Rainbow Forest instead! Also there is a layer of fog that is blanketing the entire forest floor as far as my eyes can see. As if that wasn't strange enough, there has been constant notifications going off in my head forever. Let's check them out.

What the hell?! Willpower check? Oh great so the dreams part obviously means... The forest is trying to put me to sleep! Uh duh shouldn't that have been obvious to me? Man I'm stupid. Okay I need to get moving and find some monsters before, god forbid, I fail one of those checks.
Suddenly off in the distance I heard a girl scream, wait more like a few of them. Shit! Is this really happening? White knight syndrome activate! Just kidding. No really though I'm not going to be able to ignore this, so let's scope out the situation.
As I worked my way through the forest at my top speed I suddenly came to a stop at the top of a hill and dropped to my stomach. Yeah this is way too cliche...
"Lady Juliette please get behind me! I shall not allow these disgusting sacks of flesh to defile you!" This was said by a super hot looking woman wearing a set of shiny silver plate armor that had a deep blue trim. She was wielding a two handed sword and the freaking thing was only in one of her hands! In her left hand was a gigantic shield with a strange crest on it that had a blue lion devouring a red dragon. She had shoulder length blue hair, and from what I remember from the information I got from Jelia this matches her eye color as well. Apparently in this world only humans have their hair and eye color matching. Great... so I'm going to stand out big time. Oh well, come what may I'll just deal with it as needed. There were three more girls in a diamond formation centering around a super cute girl with pink hair in twintails. OMG TWINTAILS!! Yuss yuss yuss! That is obviously this Lady Juliette. She's even wearing a pink Victorian style dress. And now let's see what this girl is saying.
"Knight-Captain Katrina we need to break through and find our way out of this terrible place! We need to get to Batis Village in the west before nightfall or things will only get worse!" Bravo little princess, but just how in the hell do you think that the five of you are going to break through a horde of over 100 goblins? Sheesh... looks like I'm about to find out just how op my sword really is. Please Jelia, don't let me die before I get to use my new son for the first time! Okay time to charge in!
"ORRRRRRRAAAAAAAA!!!!!" I let out a loud war cry as I flanked the goblins and darted in with my stance low to the ground. How odd.. I feel like I've been fighting on the battlefield for tens of years. Right as I was about to reach the left flank of the goblins I suddenly performed the legendary quick draw, as I rapidly darted through the horde to the right side. As I made my way through I found myself doing some ridiculous maneuvers like cutting off both arms of one goblin, then sliding through the legs of the next cutting off his family jewels in the process. Then I proceeded to vault over the next one while holding my blade flat against my left hand under me as my legs looked like a horse stance. This led to me decapitating the goblin in the process. Continuing on like this and performing other insane moves like this on instinct, I suddenly found myself darting back from the right side of the horde to directly in front of the princess and her guard of super hotties. I then got into the Iai stance for another quick draw as I'd already sheathed my blade, and looked back at the girls behind me and said, "Surprise!". Suffice it to say they were in shock. After all this all took place in about three seconds flat. Now let's see just where things go from here! Hehe!
