Late one night It was raining cats and dogs, and I had to walk home. I didn't care if it made me sick because I just wanted to go home as soon as possible. There were no more buses, so I just walked away, not knowing what would come. Then a ball of light rapidly chased me without my knowing what it was. So I run as fast as I can. As I was running away from the floating ball of light, it hit me, and it made my body feel numb and made me unconscious.
I don't know how much time had passed since then, but it seems that i woke up in an unfamiliar forest for some strange reason. Soon after, I saw a green monster that looked like goblins from video games. I tried to pass through their territory, but I accidentally stepped on a branch. And when I looked behind me, I saw a bunch of them start chasing me. I run and run until they have finally lost track of me.
I rest for a few minutes. Then I started walking again. Soon after, I saw a mysterious place that I could go near the forest, but it's really cold outside, so I had no choice but to look for a palace to stay in. When I looked up, I saw that the sky was unusual, and this place is not the world where I live .
"Does that mean I was transferred to a fantasy world where there are goblins and dragons?"
The sound of the wind-driven rustling of the trees. the most refreshing nighttime air that one could imagine. The tall trees that are all around me. I knew that there were many unidentified species on this planet, like goblins and dragons, about which I knew nothing. Similar to the anime and video games I used to watch and play in my previous life, the particular reason for this circumstance is because earlier, when I was being pursued by some furious goblins, I realized this was a fantasy world. I'm still not sure how I ended up in this strange realm, but I do know that I wasn't the first person to enter it because there was a massive wall in front of me just as I was awakening, covered in names that I don't recognize, including mine.
As I was looking at the sky, I knew that tonight's moon appeared to be unfamiliar. The moon is blue like the ocean. I get a strange feeling about this place, and I can tell that I am lost in this huge forest. I started walking, looking for a place where I could stay since I'm lost and cold. Then I can see a house with flowers surrounding it in the distance. I have never in my life seen such lovely flowers.
As I stood at the front of the door, I rang the doorbell, but it appeared that no one was home. As I entered the house, it was warm, and it seemed like a simple house with a fireplace, a bed, a small table with two chairs, and so forth. As I stepped inside, I sat at the bed, and I got a cozy feeling in the bed and felt like I could doze off at any point. I lost track of time for a while before realizing I was dozing off. Several minutes later, I heard a voice—a voice that was unfamiliar.
"Hey, hey, wake up," the unfamiliar voice said.
and I instantly awaken. Then, when I opened my eyes, I saw a lovely-looking girl in front of me. She had long white hair and sapphire-colored eyes. I was mesmerized by her attractive appearance. It was love at first sight. But I was wondering why I couldn't move my body.
"Hey, this isn't your house, you know," she said.
I replied, "Oh, sorry, it was just that this bed of yours is so comfortable that I didn't notice I had actually fallen asleep."
"That's not a good reason to enter someone's house, you dimwit!" She yelled.
I turned to look and saw that I was being held firmly in a chair by a cotton rope. I wondered how she managed to get me here. Perhaps it was because I was so exhausted that I couldn't even wake up from it.
"I will do anything you say; just please let me go." I said this while begging to be released.
"Anything you say?, Well then become my butler, starting today you will protect me and do the chores for a whole year!".
I was left no choice but to agree since I don't know where I am and who can't accept such punishment from an exquisitely looking young girl. As I was looking around, I finally noticed by looking at her hat, her outfit, and her wand at the table that she was a witch. But it seems that I'm actually shy about asking if she can teach me magic like in the fairytales.
"Hey you, criminal, tell me where you come from." She asked
I told her everything that had happened, but it seems that she is confused by my story. I understand why she's confused since it sounds like a made-up story. But it seems like she was not confused by that; she was actually confused when I told her that I passed a clan of goblins.
"Did you lose your mind?" A magicless creature like you shouldn't go through a clan of goblins. "Luckily for you, you survived, but the next time you do a stupid idea like that, then it's more likely the end for you." As she said that, I felt really embarrassed.
"Well, not everyone is perfect." I said.
"But not everyone is as stupid as you." Anyway, I'm tired from working, so I'm going to go to sleep now. Goodnight~."
"Hey, you can't leave me here." "Untie me first, please."
She then immediately dozed off due to weariness from her work, without paying attention to a word I said. In fact, I fell asleep while still attached to the chair.
It wasn't comfortable, but I did get some sleep.
The following morning, I awoke looking at my watch; it was already 7:49 AM. I was no longer bound and was instead lying on a little mattress inside the house. This demonstrates that it is more of a new reality for me to accept than a dream. Given that I have nowhere to stay, I did not want to leave this location. Minutes later, the door in front of me opened. It was the girl who owns the place in front of me.
"Oh, you are finally awake." The girl said
"Yeah, it seems so, but may I ask what is your name?"
"Call me Mariane Bloom but you can call me Mariane, and remember I still didn't forgive you!"
As we were standing there looking eye to eye at each other, I was thinking about what the cute witch might ask me to do. This is the new beginning of my life. Then my punishment starts after I eat the breakfast that she provided. For three hours straight, I cleaned the house, even the bathroom.
"If you're done, help me with the plants," she said.
"Okay, be there in a sec."
I noticed her outdoors speaking to the potted flowers as I was leaving the house. I choose to disregard it instead. I can't even begin to describe the emotions I was feeling as I was watering the plants, but I was thinking how gorgeous the blooms were. I can't help but want to avoid picking even one single flower since the blossoms are so exquisite. I just kept watering the plants till she noticed me.
"Hey, want to get some sandwiches?"
"I'm grateful, but I'm not yet hungry."
"Are you sure?" She asked while carrying a basket "You haven't had anything to eat since you came to my house,"
"Maybe later, since I still want to be enchanted by these exquisite blossoms, which are stunning from every perspective."
I turn to see her setting the basket on the ground and getting a picnic ready for us. She seemed kind to me even though last night I barged into her home and I had just met her. However, I believe she was a kind and compassionate individual. She then called me while watering the plants.
"Hey, come while it's still hot, idiot!"
"Coming!"
Although she may be sweet, her remarks are actually very hurtful. I knew soon enough I would get used to this life style, and someday I would know how to live on my own so that I wouldn't bother her anymore. And my fantasy life begins.
