Woooosh~! a Huge gust of wind woke me up
Eh? this is not my room? more over- ahh... a dream obviously... oh well
the scenery was still the same but the difference was this had a lake at the middle of the forest
birds flying and chirping rabbits hopping and Some deers drinking at the lake side
I look at my hands this time the same black smoke... lets call this aura because i feel a bit of Power in it(sorry my Gaming and Otaku addiction just can't handle it anymore) This black aura in my hands might look threatening but for me it feels a bit warm and soft resembling my Mother's warm hands it felt just like before she was hospitalized because of the virus... erm... my bad that was kind of the worst way to start a dream isn't it? are?(japanese version of Oh)
I saw a Beautiful Girl floating wait... Standing above water!?! more over she only has thin clothes and omigod she looks so ho- I meant Beautiful! oh crap i think she saw me while looking here
"a human in the Spirit realm? my...my that's quite rare" at my surprise from hiding behind a tree she was already at my back staring at me as if Observing my very Existence and wondering what i am... more over i'm also a keen Observer! by the Gods! those are two HUge BoO- i meant Huge Dress it cough* reaches the ground Cough* calm down Kuro This is just a Dream!
"this is interesting... You Look... like a human but you aren't a human at all...*mumbling* no not just a human but you don't emit an aura of life at all... interesting... Very Interesting..." as of now her face and beautiful azure blue eyes are 1 step close each other Too Close!!!! I stumble and slowly took a step back
"oh my... Such a weird person" she looks at my hand and there it is again the Black aura Can i control it? i try to close my hands and think of nothing in it and it actually disappears... Weird it's as if it wasn't there before
"u-um who are you?" i took 3 steps backward because i can't handle the awkwardness but mostly because if i didn't take a step back she might have eaten my face with that Gaze of hers...
"
"ah forgive me My name cannot be heard normally by humans...err if you are One?" she watches me with the same observing eyes as before... what are you asking me for of course im a Human!
"if translating is a must, then my name would be Undine a great water spirit Queen"(undine) did she just say undine?!? more over this is a dream right?! spirits can't be seen unless you are a mediator or a priest right!?! RIGHT!?!?
"Oh strange person i think this is the time we say Farewell... I hope we meet again and talk again"(undine) she smiles and it looks like mom but im sure it isn't her... her hair and body might be ho- i meant more prettier but her face resembles it.. a bit...
As i was about to reach out for her as i had lingering feelings for my mom the surrounding place darkens again the grass slowly rot and the scenery was as if changed to black and white then i was again swallowed by the abyssal darkness and then slowly drowning in eternal darkness...
"Mom!"(kuro) i woke up breathing raggedly and Rui was sleeping hugging me by my side... Eh? why is she here? she only does this when i get nightmares or when she get nightmares though... can she even Know when i get nightmares? isn't she a Nightmare and protect big brother radar then?
"Even a sleeping Rui is this cute huh?"(kuro) i rub her sleeping cheeks and kiss her forehead... after that i stood up and Cooked for our everyday meal... yeas this is like an everyday life not weird because once a week i always get these weird dreams of darkness, usually i don't even have dreams y'know Sleep then instant wake up? i might've got that real life skill because of constant gaming, otaku, work, school altogether that my body must've forgotten how to dream
"morning nii-chan"(rui) she walks with a cute wobbly stance and yawns cute...
"morning rui i cooked your favourite sunny side up egg with a smiley ketchup on it"(kuro)
the usual food, i gotta say im not that prideful but i can actually cook well! Rui excitedly hops in the chair and sways like a cute child waiting for it's present to be opened
"this is the usal food you eat you know? its been 2 years are you sure you won't get bored of the taste, you might get bored of it if you eat it everyday you know? more over this is just eggs"(kuro)
i ask her trying to change her mind on food... you do knw repeating your favourite you might get bored of its taste you know?
"onii-chan's cooking is always the best yumyum!!!"(rui)
she eats with a gleeful face her eyes looks like it has stars shining what are you an anime character?!!? woah careful when eating you eat too fast! its like a hungry girl that didn't eat for 2 weeks straight!
after we ate i let Rui use the bath first then my turn we changed clothes and get ready for school im on 3rd semester 2nd year highschool and my sister is a 1st year middle school by the way although Rui is supposed to be slowly maturing she still acts like a child thank god she wasn't on the thorny Spoiled brat kind of girl
Ugh... school if i had comments on it It's not that great... if i had bullies they get beaten up because im a High rank black belter personally taught by grandpa and if its my sister lets say she's on the green side of the belt im teaching her but not as strict as grandpa so no worries we can defend ourselves... the problem is I'm a Huuuuuge loner the oppositve of Rui who got 5 friends instantly
Now now this is just the same everyday school we all know so let's stop depressing over my Loneliness and get it over with i still have a lot of thing to do when i get home after all
We walked for 10 minutes on our usual street and passed an alley then that's it this is the bus stop for school buses
and there we see my only friends( don't think about friends on school but they are my only friends at school and they're not my classmates! oh for F*cks sake! just get the picture already! FINE they're my childhood friends 3 of them so stop telling me i'm a fake loner -,- atleast they are my only trust friends since Kindergarten )
"yo! Kuro-kun~!, early as always!"(endou)
"even though you don't talk or do studies you only go to school just to play games or read manga!"(endou) The noisy and over friendly childhood friend of mine Endou-san smiles as i walk towards them
"that's the worlds best Loner for ya!"(arthur)
the gangster looking but very trusty childhood friend of mine Arthur-san His family were foreigners but decided to make a company here in japan geez it's hard to believe that a gangster looking like him actually is a kind and friendly person with a rich family huh?
and lastly my closest childhood friend Ayame we knew each other since kindergarten and we used to play and talk a lot on middle school days that's when she introduced arthur-san and endou-san to me and she even frequently visited me on my kendo training with grandpa she's also a black belt y'know? sadly to say maybe she hated me when i rejected her birthday invitation i was taking care of rui while we were at the hospital at that time... seriously there's a lot of birthdays and im on a tight spot that day!
"Ah Kuro-Kun! and Rui-chan! Good morning! ah Kuro-Kun i-i have something to tell you... m-meet me at the back of the school near the cherry blossom tree or else i will hate you for the rest of my life!"(Ayame)
she said that with a seriously angry expression! seriously though you won't even believe me if i say she can seriously Break sa huge roke with her bare hands! Even i could do it but I wouldn't withstand the pain if its her Seriously!!!(also seriously though that's a lot of serious because i was serious teehee~!)
"o-ok? this Recess is fine right? you guys do know im busy after school and have a lot to do right?"(kuro)
i awkwardly reply and try to smile wryly
She brightens up a bit and composes and responds with an "ok" seriously though is she angry or Happy?!?
After chatting with my friends for about 10 minutes the bus finally came, we are currently gonna wait for a 20 minute ride to Heioka Academy it is the 2nd academical education on our country mostly because if i graduated here it has a 90% employment rate... right its for my future and rui and my Oka-sama (mother in japanese)
As we got on board the bus we usually greet the driver and bow respectfully like i said an everyday life... but today he looks a bit stressed he has Dark bags under his eyes that looks as if he'd fall asleep at any moment...
"driver-san Have you got rest as of lately?"(kuro)
i ask with a worried expression
"thank you for asking but no, Recently I Got a lot of debt to pay because of my wife divorcing me, Kids being taken away to the mother's side, and then This a stressful life ain't it? now now this is not about me You should sit there, don't worry i can safely bring you to school" he smiles wryly and waves us to sit
Geez that's a lot of pain more over just recently? i admire your Perserverance driver-san that you can still work right now... moreover im seriously worried of what will happen next when you are this tired and stressed! seriously you look more Dejected and stressed than me trying to Do everything at the same time!
Rui and i always sit together and her seat is always beside the window watching our trip to school... geez she still acts like a child... oh well it is really cute though...
"Nii-chan look at that!"(rui)
Rui that's the 12th time this day and you still do it everyday haven't you seen everything in this town already? and my god this is embarassing and i always hear my schoolmates sigh with "ahh rui-chan cute as always" dude She 14 Y'know?!
as of this point i had a pain on my head and My stomach was churning as if i ate an expired Noodle ramen... kuh! i think i might even throw up! this is not good even though it was only a feeling but i really felt a bad feeling right there!
at that point when my dizziness calmed down my classmates where already crying and shouting as if they had this days the last day of their lives wait... i look at the driver sleeping at the handle ooh good for him he actually rested! oh wait a F*cking minute! woah there! AREN"T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVING?!?!?!
Peeep Peeeeeeeep~! a Huge truck-kun? i hope for an isekai after this...
that might've been the last sound i might hear today and when it collided with our bus i felt like someone was pulling me back and then Bam! my head hit the seat the world instantly went black...
isn't your life too boring?
Isn't this an ending that's way worse than a bad end?
A Blank?
No Accomplishment...
No Great memories?
Not even a single Close friend that you'd happily go with?
Is this even a story to tell?
How did it begin?
Is this just that Blank? Emptiness?
Then let us Rewrite it
Rui!
Mom!
Endou!!! Arthur!!!
Ayameeee!!!!
Thud! what is this? i was slowly regaining consciousness and felt as if my whole body was slammed... DId i fall? wasn't it supposed to be a car crash?
i tried to wake my eyes up for a moment....
i saw a wall made of stone and all of us in the bus were in this structure and i closed my eyes again
I wanted to see it again just to confirm it but every time i open my eyes it gets harder to believe what i'm seeing Like literally? How are we still alive after that? is this really an isekai? Moreover how is it possible that all of the bus passenger are in here? isn't that supposed to use a lot of mana? if that's world we are currently is does it even have mana?
as of now i am the first one to wake up i separated Rui, Arthur, endou and ayame from the rest and it took me 2 days to finally get out of this Dungeon... and i can certainly say i am Hungry
when i look at the surrounding it is indeed another world, weird looking plants that resemble earth but some of the plants actually even move, wait there's also same rabbits here? weird... WTf?!! DID THAT PLANT JUST SWALLOW THE WHOLE RABBIT?!?! ok ok imma stay away from any weird plants!
"this is gonna be a hard time"(kuro) i tell myself as i fall on my butt from the shock... weird im supposed to feel fear but instead i feel calm and even excited! well this is an otaku and at the same time a gamers dream!!!
i took a wooden stick and sharpened it with stone, i haven't eaten in two days so i must get food and shelter by the time they wake up, i won't even try to have hope for people to come this might be an abandoned place... but the good news is this world has People in it the Stone dungeon is already proof that this world is inhabited
"Now time to hunt!"(kuro) i stand up and cautiously go inside the jungle Alone
I won't panic when i get lost i put waypoints and stones to where i was and where it was dangerous to go, safe to say i even chose colored stones
Green for safe places( which i might think to make a temporary shelter )
Red for Dangerous places which had predators and the plants that i saw that ate rabbits
Yellow for places that indicate where i was
Blue is for the way back to the green stones or the stone dungeon
i try to make a handmade bag using Plants and knotting them to each other... it's quite sturdy for and average Mountain survival... wooooh~! it's just like how grandpa and i was when we were camping seriously Oyaji! i thank your teachings that reach me!
as i cautiously Wander around the forest i always brought stones and casually drop them to make a waypoint and a landmark
gunu~ gunu~
is that hopping? oh is that the rabbit?!? it's a bit larger than earth rabbits if i say so they reach almost 2 feet in height... i cautiously wait for an ambush and Heiii~! i caught the rabbit in the middle of jumping! kuh! heavy! it weights like 10kg! wait!!! the knife! calm down don't panic or else you'd lose the whole feast!
Shuk~!
i stabbed the rabbit's neck and later on i repeat the same process of catching each rabbit for 2 hours
as of now it is just 2 hours after i got the rabbits and 3 hours when i got out of the dungeon which means 2days and 5hours of time in this world... i already got 5 huge rabbits although they look like rabbits but when you are close they have Thicker fur and bigger than earth rabbits, i already put them in my Handmade plant bag and damn i thought i might feel it's weight but i'm still calm and not a single sweat dropped ever since repeating the same hunting strategy... weird... my legs are wobbly and it's hard to walk even though i'm not even burdened by the weight... it was then until i heard a weird rustling to the side and made me slice it with my wooden knife Seriously!!! killing a plant took a whole new level! from stepping on them to actually fight them with sticks and stones Kuh! scary!
as i made my way back i saw a figure walking towards near the stone dungeon it looks like a Man with short blue hair reaching its neck with leather clothes and followed by 2 wolf Companions (a tamer?)
Grrrrr~
Kuh! the wolves must've noticed me! time to make my way instead as i was about to run the man run at a speed even Usain bolt couldn't compare!!! that even the Cheetah running at full speed would CRY!
not the time for amazement and shock this is the time for running!
"Stop right there!" the man easily pushes me down while the wolves growling and snarling in front of my face duuuude i thought they where small bulldogs but BRUH THEY LOOK BIGGER THAN A GERMAN F*CKING SHEPHERD BUT A HUSKY OR WOLF BUILD!
Ahhh a waste of isekai life.... just 2 days and 6 hours huh? i hope the next world is a better one
sorry Rui big brother might not be by your side anymore
"w-wait this is a misunderstanding!"(kuro) i try to reason with the man- eh? It was actually a girl with short hair? shittt i always mistake them for boys... boys in grandpa's kendo usually have long hair that it reaches the neck only because he says "it just like a river flowing long but not too long, Running deep but not too deep and as for the strength it must also be balanced as all things should be"(it felt like thanos training a child to kill the whole galaxy to be honest) seriously it only Handicaps your eyesight oyaji!(grandpa in japanese)
"weird? you have Black hair? and what is this Clothes you wear i have not seen anything well made like this!" the girl instantly lets me go and actually literally *Forces* me to stand like SUCH STRENGTH BRUH!?? she looks at every part of my body as if though im not the same as her dude im a human like you -,-
"weird you are not from here are you? Wait you're a Far worlder! Fia onee-sama expects your arrival!" the girl was a bit shocked and immediately composes herself wait Far worlder? so this is a world that expects Isekai people? oh i don't even know if this is a good news or bad news
as she was busy rummaging my clothes honestly i felt sexually harassed here -.-
she then grabs my hand and pulls me away
seriously! this girl is too strong! does she even know personal space and privacy?!?!
"w-wait i'm not the only one! i still have my classmates and small sister with me!"(kuro) i suddenly protest but still thinking with that strength of hers i think i might get Beaten if she was serious
"ah yes Fia onee-sama knows that as well you are the most special aren't you? hora hora~ How many days was it since you woke up?" she instantly became as if though she were a friend -,- seriously give me some space!
special though? i think that's impossible for a guy like me i might've just woken up because of the noise or something moving oh well it might have good news for me
"2 days and currently 6 hours now"(kuro) i say with a calm face now that's because her wovles are sitting with their heads looking at me cautiously but not too intimidating as last time Seriously! i thought i might have been eaten by now!!!
"ah don't worry about my Houlers they are just level 5 they can beat mostly anything in this forest so you are mostly safe, but as far as i can say you were on your way to bring your hunts for them right? sadly to say Far worlders wake up at a different time at themselves the first to wake up is usually the best of the best! hora~ hora~ aren't you proud of yourself right now? you might be the Hero-sama we've waited for so long!"
the girl instantly gets so close to me geeeeez think about personal space!!! but wait level 5? so that means there is a level system here? also more over the first to wake up is the best? am i supposed to be happy? its actually lonely y'know???
"ah my name is Pia Erhengard, sorry for my sudden appearance but Fia onee-sama said that the Far worlders have come as of now... i didn't even know that there was one awake already! Come let us show you to our Water Village of Akua"(pia)
"a-ah, erm my name is Kuro.... Kuro Tamatsumi"(kuro) i shyly say geeezzz this is a whole level of familiarity i want to come back on earth and stay at home this is like a year worth of human interaction -,-
we left towards the village and 5 guards went to replace fia to wait for the my classmates to wake up and suddenly i saw a figure catching up to me wiat thats damn too fast! almost as fast as Pia!!!
"onii-chaaaaaaaan!!!!! don't leave me!!!! Ueeeehhhhh!!!!!"(rui) oh shi- Rui actually woke up! she looks like a Loli that got bullied and is asking for help or a child that looks like a toy being taken away or the most accurate one... A child's ice cream dropped on the floor and wants to buy a new one
after explaining for 10 minutes that she is not an assassin that followed us from earth they finaly calmed down
ahhh~ that was close Rui you almost became Dog food
"ah this is actually my sister Rui although she acts like a child she is just 2 years younger from me so treat us with care"(kuro) we bowed our heads while rui was pouting and pinching my side
after an hour of walking we finally reached the wooden gates of akua village damn if only this was earth it might've took just a 10 minute ride... sadly to say carriages are for the rich though
as we entered they already expected and saluted towards pia and a guard came near her and said
"Fia-sama is expecting you at the church" and hurredly goes back to his post
damn this village is actually good children are running everywhere and beautiful maidens- ehem! i mean ah what ever! oh shittt Rui is actually looking at me with a " you already have me! " face sadly to say we're Half siblings by the fact that Rui was the real daughter and im adopted T-T, too bad she also knew that 2 years ago T-T i actually feel the Ero(pron) Gods looking at me with a disgusted face of
"welcome Far worlders this world that you are in is called Quorania is in a state of readying for the Demon King's Resurrection we don't know when but we are welcoming any far worlder to help and aide us to victory, and as of now you wo are the only ones awake am i right?"(Fia)
"there are 7 more fia sama and they are coming now"(pia) as i see they are the figures of Ayame-san and Endou-kun wait wheres arthur? they had a face as if to say (still sleeping huh?)
"now... now let us discuss our situation... as i have said we a small village of the water Kingdom
need help as much as we can to fight off the Demon King's resurrection, it is said it shall be revived in a matter of time but we don't know yet We would still have to ask Princess Evelyn-sama the Water Maiden to ask the Water goddess Aquaria and give us her blessing"(Fia)
goddesses huh? so this is the water kingdom? then so that means there are also other kingdoms? hooo~ this is gonna be a lot of adventuring then...
"and to help you be guided on this unfamiliar world we can teach you for about a year before being sent off alone, Pia you can take the matter as of now for these Far worlders... i shall await the others and explain it to myself"(Fia)
"yes Fia onee-sama"(Pia)
as she bows down she hurredly brings us to our place to start educating us about this world
Such as the rules, laws of the world, the Divine Blessings, Skills, status, places and even the races
"to know your status we have 2 ways of showing or seeing it, first is the manual Soul Status and the skill Appraisal, the manual shows you what you are and what skills you have or curses you are afflicted and so on it display everything on you, as for appraisal it shows small to the same details as the soul book but depends on the realm and rank of your skill"(pia)
she gave us a book each each with a Brown color and as they received their book it changes color! Mine was pure black with a white cross in the middle... what's this anti christ? i'm not a satanist devil am i?!?!
as for ayame when she recieved it the book turned into a Silver scaley aligator or fish like scales
Endou was a book that turned into what looks like a Manga with a lot of girls in it... HAHAHAHA i knew it that might've been the effect of too much Visual novel dating games you sly bastard!
he instantly hides it inside his shirt with a red shy face Kuhahahaha!
and as for Rui her book glowed a pure whitish yellow with a rainbow colored sun in the middle
Eh?
I suddenly felt like my sister got the Cheat pack insta hero book -,-
"now you can look at it's contents don't worry we can help you grow with your skills and let you choose what class you like later on!"(pia)
as i opened my book this is what i saw...
