2. Why won't I release photos of myself to the public?
It's the Internet. Even if I'm in another world I could still return and I'm not that keen on finding out my identity was stolen while I was gone or something.
3. What about your family?
@sailorbin83 helped my parents make accounts and taught them how to DM me, so I'm chatting with them too. Best believe my mom is nagging my ears off every day, but what can I do about it?
Once again, thanks @sailorbin83 for hooking me up. I owe you one!
4. Other details about myself
I won't reveal any additional details due to reasons listed under question number 2 lol
5. What do I think about the new manhwa chapter update for Omnipresent Gamer's Viewpoint?
Well, I've already finished the whole novel itself (10/10 work), but the art's solid as always. We should probably be having this discussion in the OGV subribbit instead.
6. What do I think happened?
Frankly, I don't know. I have my suspicions but since neither god nor system, neither apostle nor messenger has appeared before me...all I have is as follows:
- Someone dropped me off in the middle of completely uncharted territory that humanity has never seen before. The chances of it still being on Earth lessen every day with the appearance of flora and fauna that were previously considered mythical by humans.
- As per updates from @sailorbin83 I have been confirmed missing from my residence. CCTVs in the building did not catch me leaving or anyone visiting. Investigation agrees it was like I was in bed, and then disappeared.
- The police haven't been able to figure out where I am.
- I do not seem to have gained any new abilities. I have tested the methods that were suggested but I wouldn't know unless I spoke to another human being.
- A unicorn exists and I'm probably not hallucinating.
7. What will I do if it's really another world?
Well, what can I do? If I was dropped off here just like that would it be that easy to return? Who knows. I'll do what I can to survive and live here. If I'm returned then great, if not then so be it lol
8. What's my name?
My username is ekim96, so you can call me Kim I suppose lol
ACTUAL UPDATES FROM YESTERDAY
There's a village nearby. Also, magic exists.
It's less than an hour away. I'm super close. I know because there was an elf nearby and she nearly skewered me with her arrow. I tried to raise both my hands—you know, a gesture of surrender—and it turns out it does NOT mean the same thing here and she thought I was trying to cast some dangerous spell to kill her. Conveniently, the unicorn disappeared as soon as we spotted her.
TL;DR: misunderstanding was resolved because I have zero mana and couldn't cast a spell to save myself even if I wanted to.
Also, the elves spoke Korean and they were surprised that I spoke the language. I'm having serious doubts that what they spoke was actually Korean but I can always verify that later.
Civilisation has been reached!
I think she saw that I had no shoes on and took pity on me. She left for a bit to consult with her village people and then returned with a few guards and an elder. They spun me around a bit, saw the boar blood and general filth of my clothes, sniffed a bit at me. I think they tried to insult me but I'm used to getting abuse from patients in the hospital so it slid off me like water.
Anyway, they seemed relatively pleased that I was so polite and said something about knowing my manners. I asked about how I should refer to them and the guards went into a whole tirade about the lady elf who shot at me. Apparently, I've been rescued by Saira de Dwalo, who's also nicknamed 'Saintess of the Green Dwellings' by everyone and their mom.
Sounds cool. Will gather context later. I didn't tell them I was from another world, just that I found myself in the forest when I woke up. I need a few cards in my hand and still can't tell if the whole civ is hostile or friendly.
So the Saintess is a bigshot lady. She's quite humble and very nice though. Clearly, a leader—no problems commanding teams and troops, and they all listen to her. Would be smart not to make enemies of her.
The elder was her dad or something—Clav de Dwalo. Elves really have long lives, huh. They look like siblings. I'm probably just some kind of baby hatchling if we're comparing purely by age.
Anyway, she was nice enough to agree to bring me back to the village and give me some leftover clothes and a bit of food. Given that I couldn't possibly contribute anything to them (and therefore cannot provide any benefit), this has been an extremely positive exchange and I am forever grateful. Some of the villagers were nice, others didn't really want to talk much to a strange human.
I still need some supplies to be able to head into the big city, and I feel bad about just taking stuff from them, so I'll stay in the village a little bit and do some manual labour or something to compensate for the stuff they're giving me.
Has anyone got tips on crafting or making food from foraged stuff? I've gardened, but on a very small scale. Hopefully, I can make myself useful enough to compensate for the stuff they're giving me.
