Roselyn's heart raced as she emerged from the shadowy confines of the dungeon into the embrace of the forest. The air was thick with the scent of moss and damp earth, and the rustling of leaves seemed to welcome her newfound freedom. Her heart pounded not only from the adrenaline of escape but also from the strange surge of energy she felt within her.
As she continued walking into the unknown forest that she just entered.
"Ahhhh!!!! Roselyn was taken back with surprise. As a small, fluffy cloud drifted towards her. It glowed with a faint luminescence that carried a magical aura around it. The cloudy thing was very similar to what they call Stuffed toys in the modern world. The spooky little thing leaned against her face.
"Oon, you look like my master, but you are not her" blinked the cloudy thing as he carefully examined Roselyn face, he leaned a little more closer and sniffed her from head to toe, separating itself from her the cloudy thing started at Rose in annoyance.
"Who are you? And where is my master?" He questioned with a deadly glare.
"Who…. Or what are you?" Roselyn stammered, both awed and cautious.
The cloud shifted, forming a cute little face- a pair of playful eyes and a friendly smile.
"I'm... his eyes expressed sadness.
My master used to call me Spooky or Fluffy at times, where is she?" His voice carried curiosity.
"Can I call you Fluffy?" Roselyn narrowed her eyes with anticipation.
"Oon, you don't seem like a bad person. But tell me first about my master?" Demanded Fluffy.
"I just escaped from the dungeon, and I don't think I'm still in a safe zone. I will answer all your questions once I find a safe place." Roselyn explained.
"Euh, Follow me." Suggested Fluffy.
Roselyn, now intrigued and a little enchanted, followed Fluffy, as it led her through the forest. With each step, Fluffy glow cast a gentle light that illuminated the path ahead. It guided her away from the thorny thickets and treacherous terrain, ensuring her safe passage through the shadows. Soon, they came upon a secluded grove, nestled beneath the outstretched arms of an ancient tree.
"Here's a safe haven for you, " Fluffy said, its voice like a comforting whisper. "Rest your weary bones here."
"Thank you, Fluffy," Roselyn said softly, her exhaustion beginning to catch up with her.
"Uh, huh…Not yet, don't call me so intimately, before revealing about my master." Fluffy said. The next moment sprinkling little stars behind him Fluffy disappeared just like that.
Roselyn looked around to see where Fluffy went, but except for the large trees and moonlight peeking through the lattice of the leaves nothing glowy as Fluffy was seen.
"Phew"! Sighed Fluffy.
"Oh, God, where did you come from?" Rose startled.
Stretching his hands forward, Fluffy offered a big broad leaf filled with sprinkling water. "Oon, you seemed tired, so I fetched water for you, from the nearby lake." Fluffy worded cutely.
Receiving the leaf of water Rose's face displayed a hearty smile, drinking the water she thanked Fluffy. Just to see him waiting for her to inform him about his Master. Roselyn laughed "now I see why you bothered to get me water."
"It's a long story, Fluffy, but I'm not sure if you will be able to handle it." Rose said with pity. After a momentary pause, Rose started narrating the entire story to Fluffy starting from her death and reincarnation and How the witch is in Second space with the white lady. Time to time Rose looked at Fluffy to observe the changes in his face.
"I know it's hard, but that's the truth Fluffy," comforted Rose.
"No, worries since you are here to save my master, I'll help you all the way." Fluffy shimmered with satisfaction.
Moving back and forth, sprinkling his stars like magic, Fluffy handed Rose some muffins to eat. Surprised, Rose started admiring Fluffy. She cleaned her hands and started eating.

While munching on the muffins, Roselyn looked up at the blue light emitting on her face, and she carefully read each sentence.
"Oh, I finally unlocked basic features, huh?" Roselyn said with excitement.
"Woah, points for bravery, and intelligence." That's cool.

Roselyn raised her eyebrows, "Exercise? In these clothes?" Looking at her dress she complained. "And what else, Ah… food hunt, that too 3 meals per day, this is a forest, not a fast food stall or a subway." She pouted.
"Uh, Fluffy, Can you take me to the lake… Gosh just look at me, I look so ugly, drenched in sweat and blood, and not to mention this torn gown." She complained.
"Now that I ate something, let me just clean myself up and change, oh with that." She lifted her hand and summoned the system.
"I need a good dress." She said,
[ Error!!! No enough points]
"Ugh!!! Useless trash." Annoyed, she turned to Fluffy, "Can you help me with my clothes?" She requested. Seeing Fluffy nod in agreement, Roselyn was satisfied. And she followed Fluffy to the lake unaware of the danger waiting for her inside the water.
