uuhhh.... huh? where am I?
"finally awake? seems like you're the first to come to"
"wait? I thought I was flying away?"
"Yeah but we had to recapture you again... god thankfully they managed to"
"Lin! why are siding with them!?"
that's right! Lin was talking to that girl with otherworldly clothing! how could she!?
"look! just listen in to my explanation alright?"
"who'd li-"
my mouth suddenly stopped moving, what's this!?"
"Just wait until the rest of them wake up, alrig-... nah... probably best if I leave you all here..."
what's she talking about!?
"Alright then... you're currently here in Asia alright? you can fly back to America or probably hunt us down, your stupid choice is yours, but I digress. look, the people aren't going to invade the planet alright? there just training their troops but a war might still happen since humanity's dumb as dicks... you're a prime example of that"
dumb as... this bitch is dead to me once she release me!
"look, I'm much more experienced with magic than all of you are, should I release you now? no... later. there's a reason as such... look I'm not used to talking like this alright!?... yeah"
wait... is she talking to herself?
suddenly, a flash of light emitted from her and she started to talk again but... she's much more... grown up?
"that's much better... anyway make sure to tell everyone here what I'm going to say alright? right then. the people that invaded the place are much stronger than you think, they don't have magic like yours have but they certainly can dispatch a group of mages quite easily, no one's able to defeat them or even the gods here, if you anger them too much then you're just risking the planet into total annihilation, trust me."
you can't even trust them! you think we can't defeat them then you're mistaken!
"underestimating them because you have magic is simple idiocy, I know what your plan is and it will be proven worthless once you fight them again. take this from a person who experienced their lives"
what are you talking about?
"oh, I better get going. why don't you feel magic first? try experimenting and help a couple of people, didn't you aim to be a hero when this whole thing didn't happen?"
she left...
before that, she gave me a necklace, it looks cool though, I wonder if this makes me ten times cooler.
"HAhaha! bow down to me weaklings!" ... it doesn't really feel that great... I guess... I'll look around the area
after waiting for a few minutes, the "friends" with me woke up. they all left with fear from being defeated so easily, I tried to persuade them but they wouldn't even budge. I guess I'm all alone in this huh?
what did Lin say again? Asia? hey! it's a good time to be visiting japan I guess! but where am I exactly? oh there's a sign there!
wait... I forgot that I'm in a different nation... but... maybe this word could help, I could read it but not understand it.
"Gunung Mulu... huh? I should've studied more in school... I don't know where I am even with this... all I know is that this is a cave"
I walk aimlessly around the cave and finally left the cave, all of them went on their merry ways I guess, I think I'll stay here for now, after hearing what she said, It's probably best if I look around and see what the other people are doing.
I walk around and found a few people and some buildings in the distance, I head over there but... ehh... I guess even in these kinds of circumstances, people wouldn't really care or take action...
after that, a native walks by and heads over me... I don't understand shit
"u-uhh... sorry but I don't understand what you're saying"
"oh, sorry, I thought you were educated in our language. what's a foreigner like you doing here?"
"sorry but I somehow got transported here by a friend, also, sorry but aren't you supposed to introduce yourself first?"
"ahh! I am sorry, I'm Aishah Lim, just a local fisher here"
"I'm Ron Alucard, please to be your acquaintance"
we both shake hands and he began to show me the area, it seems like I'm in Brunei... I looked over at the smartphone and realized that I could've just used this in the first place... well no crying over spilt milk.
I asked about why the nation in Malaysia is not preparing and he said
"well... I'm not too sure... a girl from tv said that they won't invade the planet only if we don't attack them first, she was beautiful even with the strange markings on her face too!"
"stop being smitten over them! they're strangers, aliens that came to take over our world!"
"really? she also said that she was reincarnated from this world which is something all of us were hoping would happen but it looks like we don't need to"
"wait, so you're telling me that you're all okay with this? the military here or even the people here not even trying to attack them?"
"well... we don't really have any reason to attack them, that girl visited all of the nations too and it was fun meeting her! she thought us magic and even sometimes fought us! she was strong so even if we knew how to hold magic"
so we really didn't have a chance at winning... I guess I need to practice my magic...
"Why don't I join you? every nation is practically rich thanks to magic and catching monsters were as easy as killing a bug so I'm not really needed"
"really? what about your parents?"
"I'm already away from home way south from here, I'm only fishing for money since I'm running out"
"ehh? then please do! the more the merrier! my friends already left me from the first battle so it's only you and me right now"
I couldn't say that we fought them... it'd be way too embarrassing
"don't worry about supplies I can set up camp since my friend gave me some stuff"
"no need, my magic isn't like the others but I'm convenient in protecting"
when he said that, I felt some surge of magic around me
"my magic's called the barrier, although unlike yours I'm useless..."
"hey, at least it's useful for when we're outside, monsters can't kill us if were outside"
. . .
. .
the night arrives and I started a small little campfire, thanks to Aishah, we were able to eat some fish that he stored in his bag... wait
"how big is that bag?"
"oh? this? it's an item my friend gave me, it's called a magic bag because it can store a huge amount of items"
"thatsh convenient"
while eating the roasting fish in the fire, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a firefly... what's that?
"hey, Aishah, what's that?"
"hmm?- Hide!"
we suddenly hid on a tree we were camping in, the thing I saw headed towards us... it was...
in whisper, cautiously. "that's a Penanggalan, a myth in my country... I never would've thought that it exist though..."
the floating... head like creature... oh god it's gross...
it left without noticing us... thank god it didn't find us
"but still, you guys have some weird monsters here"
"hmm? but it's a mythical monster to me... wait, it's not mythical anymore..."
"I don't know about that... could we kill it though?"
"do you have magic that can defeat it?"
"of course! my magic's all of the elements! I can easily defeat it!"
as soon as I explained it to him, I ran through where the monster went... almost... that disgusting... floating head... even the organ's still dangling... oh god, I think I'm gonna puke
"hahaha... I guess it is best to avoid it for now, are you alright Ron?"
"Y-yeah... that... was gross"
I think I'll never question Malaysian mythos... never... that was scary even with magic...
the night goes buy without another incident, we began to pack up and flew ahead to our next destination... well...
"Wait! Ron I can't fly!"
"Oh right... I forgot about that... well then why don't I use this"
I carried Aishah with Wind magic and head over to the nearest... or nation we could go, Phillipines! well... I can't really say that's the nearest... we got in there about half an hour with magic and landed somewhere in an urban place...
"seems like this is our resting place... for now, how about you Aishah? you alright?"
"Y-yeah... thanks for the ride"
Aishah wasn't so gung-ho on the flying on first but after a few minutes he became somewhat okayyy from it
"do you know where we are anyway?"
"no... I just flew in a where most people are, hold on lemme check my phone"
I checked in my phone but it seems that I forgot something vital..."
"My phones dead... did I not put in auto-lock in this? what about you Aishah?"
"I don't own a phone, I left it in my place"
"I see... then why don't we ask where we are?"
we began to ask the locals and immediately found out where we are
"Davao... so we're in the southernmost part of the Philippines?"
well... we still have some money so I guess we could go to a local store and charge my phone...
"I'm going to a nearby store and ask about the magic here, why don't you guard my phone for a bit?"
Aishah nodded and I walked around the area, the church's probably best to look for if I'm going to ask about magic, they're probably nice people... probably...
「and that's how to use your magic properly! see?」
「wow! salamat ate! thanks miss!」
! it's the girl from that island! as soon as I prepared to cast magic, another girl blocks me
"Move! I can't kill her if you don't move!"
she's not responding... fine then, I'll just use a different magic
"Wind scy-"
suddenly, the girl who I was targeting was in front of me... the magic I was chanting was canceled
"best not to use huge magic in populated areas and try not injure a child"
the child immediately clung to her and hid
"hehe... anyway, we got on the wrong foot, I'm Rin, Rin Aiha, and you are?"
"Ron... Ron Alucard"
he let go of my hand and carried the child to her arms
"this is Osiria, she's... my cute little... sister? cousin? I don't know but we aren't related in any way"
the little girl, with an emotionless face, waved at me...
"we shouldn't really be here but Liliya wouldn't let me say no... haahhh... anyway I can see that Lin wasn't successful in persuading you huh?"
"That traitor? there's no way I'd be persuaded by a simple warning"
another woman soon headed to our way. it was the girl with the big ass sword. they started to talk to each other in their own language... the other sighed and took the girl she was carrying
"I doubt you'll change your mind, anyway this is Liliya Rosa and the child is Osiria Rosa, try not to kill the mother alright? or better yet, don't anger the child... it would..."
"It would what?!"
"well... let's just say you won't be forgiven, that child is everything to us, she's our little gleaming hope in this war... well more like bout really, I can't say that this is a war, why don't you fight Liliya? since you ARE strong so you WOULDN'T lose right?"
"was that your hope of tempting me? well your on!"
heh This will be easy, now that it's a one on one, I can't imagine of losing!
