A sudden event has caused the planet earth to collapse, numerous sightings of monsters has been spotted at the east coast of America. In a matter of minutes, countless lives have been perished. Monsters appearing out of nowhere on the sky, landing on the capital of japan. Causing destruction and chaos, massive monsters wiping out giant skyscapers with little to no effort. It was a horrific and traumatizing thing to have had happen on history, even all of the wars combined could not make such destruction.
"Thats a bit exaggerated don't you think?"
With nothing else to do in my spare time inside the calssroom, looking at the shining sun, noises of my classmates and the wish to go home and shut myself inside my room. A peaceful and quiet life, is what all I wished for.
"What are you thinking of?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking on when our next teacher will arrive"
"Oh, did you not see the announcement?"
"What announcement-"
A beam of light suddenly appeared inside the pocket of my pants, it engulfed me whole and the next thing I knew, I was on a different place and not inside a classroom.
"Transported?"
Having to read a lot of novels and manwhas online, I instantly knew that I was transported in a completely different world.
"Does this have its own system?"
Thinking about the word "system", a text suddenly appeared in front of me, stating.
A NEW BEGINNING
"What does that mean?"
A small gust of wind blew towards my face, I was stranded in a vast open field. Trying to see my status, I tried to touch the text that appeared in front of me, trying to see if I can see my own status. Instead my hand went past through the text, unable to touch the text.
That was not what I expected
Moving on, I tried to think what I will do next. Now that I am transported in a different world, I just have to figure out what I should do next. Thinking about the novels I've read, I figured that finding a village or kingdom would be best. However, looking at where I am now. That would mean, I would have to walk a few miles just to find a village or if I am lucky, a kingdom.
I am still wearing my uniform, if a resident from this world would of see me. They would think I am from a another world, since if you think of reincarnation in a another world. The time period would be set in the medieval age, where techonology would be obviously way behind. With clothes that I am wearing, they will label me as someone not from this world.
I set that concern aside for now, since the sun is still up I decided to walk and hopefully find a place to spend the night. It would be bad if I stumble on a monster on accident.
After a few minutes of walking, it was my first time knowing that walking is really calming and relaxing. With my ability to read the information of both non-livingand living, I found plants that are good to eat. Although, it had a weird name. It was edible and good for my health, it is also used to make medicine and temporarily enhanced ones senses.
Good thing that there are plenty of them, and I collected at least twenty of them. Storing it inside my inventory, I harvested many edible plants that were also edible and safe to eat. I think an hour has past, and I was able to collect many types of plants. Suddenly, I heard a humming sound off the distance from where I am. I know that it was a bad idea to check, but curiousity killed the cat.
Upon closer inspection, a girl with long hair, wearing white clothes was sitting near a flower bed.
Her name was Flin, and was ten years old. She has a hobby of attending and growing flowers, cause it makes her calm. Realizing she is no threat, I decided to make her know my presence.
"Excuse me".
She turned around, and I could tell that she was cautious of me and pulled out a stick.
That must be a wand, right?
I thought to myself, not wanting any trouble. I raised both of my arms above my head, as a sign of submission.
"Don't worry, I am not looking for a fight".
"Who are you?".
She kept her distance and did not dropped her guard, while pointing a wand towards me.
"I am Ryu, I am sorry if I startled you. But, you see I am lost and was wandering aimlessly, if you could tell me the direction of the nearest village is, that would be much appreaciated".
"The nearest village? I guess, that would be west a few hundred kilometers from here".
"A hundred kilometers? Isn't that quite far? Also judging from your appearance, I could tell that you are still a child, how were you able to survive on your own?".
"Oh, I am not alone. My master and I live inside this forest".
"Master?".
She nodded, dropping her guard and placed back her wand inside her pocket.
"Would you like to meet her?".
"If thats alright, then I could ask her for information".
She told me to follow her, and which I did. We walked inside a dense forest for quite a while, I noticed that there were a lot of traps being set up as we walk right past them. We then arrived at a small cabin with flowers blooming surrounding the small cabin, Flin opened the door and a women with short hair and long pointy ears was sitting on a chair, reading a book was inside the small cabin.
"Master, there is someone that wants to talk to you".
She noticed me, and patted Flin's head while smiling.
"It appears to be, could you prepare us some tea while we talk?".
"Yes, gladly".
Flin quietly walked towards what I can assume the kitchen, while Alfiva glared at me. It seems that she has a quite of hatred towards human, she is an elf and is 500 years old as of now. Not much information was written other than that.
"You are?".
"I am Ryu, just a lost wanderer. I mean no harm, I just want to ask about the nearest village".
"Nearest village? That would be a few hundred kilometers from here, are you planning to go there?".
"Yeah, judging from your tone. Is it a bad idea to go there?"
"Not really, if you are planning to go there by foot. It would take you a few weeks, if you are lucky and can hitch a ride on a carriage, it would be much faster. But, you will most likely die trying to go there in your current state"
"Why is that?"
"Because of monsters and bandits that are roaming around, I can also sense that you lack mana and your physique is below average. You will not survive a week, in your current state"
"Is that so? What would be the best decision for me to choose, if that is the case?"
Flin walking out the kitchen carrying two cups of tea, placing it on the table besides Alfiva. Alfiva thanked Flin with a smile on her face, she offered me the tea Flin made. I gladly accepted, and when I took a sip of the tea. My vision got blurry, and the sensation on my legs was cut off and I collapsed onto the ground.
I woke up laying on a couch inside the cabin, Alfiva and Flin were waiting for me to wake up. Cautious, I immediately tried to defend myself. But, Flin offered me a cookie instead. I did not accept it, I looked at Alfiva.
"Don't worry, thats just to remove the poison out of your body"
Looking at the cookie, I did not believe her.
"Why did you poison me?"
She let out a smile, which creeped me out not gonna lie.
"To ensure that you are not a threat, of course"
"Threat?"
"Yeah, anyway. You should eat that, if you don't the poison in your body will worsen and you will have a bad stomachache"
If what she says is true, then I might as well eat this cookie. Picking it up with my hand, I took a bite of the cookie and it was bitter.
"What is this taste?"
Alfiva laughed and enjoyed the face that I was making.
"Its medicine of course, the bitter the medicine the stronger its effects will be"
"Is the poison that strong?"
She nodded at my question.
"Its a poison that makes people collapse, just like what you experienced earlier. But, don't worry after you finished eating that cookie, it will be cleaned and the poison will be removed"
I was relieved, but I was curious on why it was necessary to poison me. I was just planning on asking for information.
"You are from a another world, right?"
I was shocked on how she knew, I did not want to admit it, but with the way she is glaeing at me, made me think otherwise.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Its because of your clothes, also when I tried to analyze your mana, it was not the same from our world. Initially, I did not want to conclude that you are from a another world, but after living for hundred of years, and meeting various of people. You are the first one that I've encountered, having mana not registered in this world"
"As expected from an elf, you saw right through me. But, yeah you are right with your theory"
"You seem to be knowledgable about the world we live in, how long have you been here?"
"Just today, I was transported into this world, without any reason"
"Transported?"
She murmured under her breath, then Flin came over me and gave me a glass of water. Which I thanked her for bringing me water, the bitter taste of the cookie is still present inside my mouth. With the help of water, it might help get rid of the bitter taste.
"What happened when you were being transported here?"
"It happened instantly that I was also shocked that such event happened to me"
"You seem well composed on being transported into a another world, well anyway since you are unfamiliar with the world that you are currently in. How about I'll teach you how the world works, magic, etc. In exhance, you will also teach me how and what your world is, deal?"
Its not that a bad of a deal, with how I currently am. What she told me earlier might happen, I might end up dead while trying to figure out everything on my own. Raising my hand, I offered a handshake, which she took on the offer and we had a deal.
A week has past, and I had learned the basic on hunting, swordsmanship and performing magic. Although, my growth is not that impressive it is still enough for me to survive on my own. I am not sure on how long I am going to stay here, Alfiva suggested that if she finds me worthy on thriving on my own, then that will be the day she will let me leave her place. Which I am grateful for.
"So a little device the size of my hand, can let me communicate with other people from the other side of the world?"
She asked with a kid like behavior, it was cute that I almost forgot that she is an elf that is older than the United States.
"Pretty much yeah, with only two silver coins"
She was shocked to hear such statement, I have learned that the currency that they use here are coins. Which are copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. Copper is equivalent to 1 dollar, silver is 100 dollars and gold is 1000 dollars. Which is a rough estimate, but its easier to compare it to dollar currency.
"To think that such technology exist, and for only two silver coins? That is unheard of, if such technology exist in this world, it would revolutionized the entire civilization"
"Yeah, but it requires a lot of complicated machinery and engineering. That I do not even know how people managed to create such a thing"
We were talking a lot about my world, and her world. In such a short amount of time, we managed to get closer and know about each other, that it felt like I was talking to a long friend of mine. Even though, we've only known each other for a week.
