《The subtle World of Terraria》3-23. A rude awakening. (Arc 3: Kingdom Problems - Start)

*Evan POV*
Okay...
So…
Where the hell am I? Everything around me is white. Am I Dead?
I looked around but there’s nothing except pure whiteness. I crouched down and touched the floor but it was just a flat surface of something white.
I’m trying to remember how I got here but nothing comes to mind.
Wait a minute.
I remember my stamina finishing and then I'm pretty sure I met the ground face first.
Sooooo... Am I in a dream?
I started walking in a random direction but it didn’t really matter because the vast span of whiteness, remained white. I started looking around while walking for something to change but, moments later, I just saw a random person standing there.
How long has he been standing there for me to not notice? No, Everything was white, I would’ve noticed if there was a person here so this guy probably spawned here.
The guy started walking up to me and I have no idea what to do. In the end, I just waved my hand and said “Hey, What’s up?”
Now that I look at him, he has *̴̨̳͈̘̑̔*̸͓̲̗̃̈́́͘o̷̩͌̽̒́*̶̡̭̤̯͐*̷͚͗ *̸͙̘̦̂͠ͅâ̵̮̹̳̂̀̀*̸̤͔̱̾̄͘*̴̳̫̱̇and is around the age of *̶̬̽̽1̴̣̕ͅ. He looks a bit taller than me. It kinda feels weird like I've seen him before somewhere.
{Author Note: Hello Evan.}
“Uhh... Hi?” Everything about him is weird, I can’t wrap my finger around it but he makes me feel really confused.
{Author note: I've been watching you since day one. Your survivability is... rather high compared to the others.}
“What are you talking about?” The more I look at him, the more I feel confused. It’s like I know where he’s from but at the same time I don’t. “Do you mind me asking where we are who you are?”
He shook his head and chuckled as he found it amused by how confused I was.
{Author note: Evan. Do you know why you're in this World?}
I tilted my head in confusion, “Not really, No?” He put a hand on his chin as if he’s carefully choosing his next words.
{Author note: Hmmm. I can't tell you why or how you ended up here. You're not ready to face the truth.}
Something about him feels very off and why does it feel like I've seen him somewhere before?
{Author note: Have you ever asked yourself why are you here? Why have you entered the body of Reid? Why do you have Skills while there is are no skills in Terraria? Why are you the Hero of Skill? Why is this world Terraria but not Terraria?}
Now that I think about it.
“I haven't really thought about any of that. Things have been too hectic as of late, and I didn’t have the time to think about it.” That wasn’t a lie, how long have I been in this world? 2-3 days? And the amount of shit I’ve went through in that time would give me a Guinness world record for the amount of shit taken in 24 hours.
I feel like I've almost recognized who he is but I can't quite get it. It's like on the tip of my tongue.
{Author note: Time is short so let me be brief. There is a ruler here who controls everything in this world He’s really dangerous and could destroy the whole world on a whim if he wants. He can also control everything, the Moon Lord, the guy who the cultists are trying to summon to destroy this world for new salvation, he can control everything. But, he has certain rules which he can't break which is also why the world hasn't been destroyed yet.}

Sooo... what does that have to do with me?
{Author note: He even tried to kill you once before. On your first night in this world, did you not think why the Zombies kept coming to you no matter how many you killed?}
I'm still Alive So that Theory is FALSE.
But now that he said it, it is weird that there was no end to zombies, my berserker skill that is only applicable for 1 fight never went out the entire night, it was only until daybreak did it finally go away.
{Author note: But before he actually killed you I changed the script and brought Tifa and Sarah near you. I knew one of them would help you and you would survive.}
Okay before anything else, I want to know what you mean by changing the script. Also, I just noticed but I can’t talk anymore, when did that happen? I thought I was talking moments ago and he was just ignoring me, but no. my mouth can no longer move.
{Author Note: Doing that is hard and I won't be able to do it some more times. I just want to tell you that if you want to leave this World and go back to E̶̳̼͚̎̾̚ä̵̪̞́̔̇r̸̜̅̿͑ẗ̷̘̱̣̈́h̴͖̯̓ then you will have to destroy this creator.}
White smoke started coming out of nowhere and it slowly started enveloping both me and him.
{Author note: His name is… *̷̞̙̃͘r̴͖̤̿*̷͈̅i̶̧̢͗͊*̶̪̕*̵̰̏x̴̼͋*̸͕̯̑͠*̶̩͐̿z̵̧̅͗.}
The smoke completely enveloped both of us but it was then I finally realized who I was talking to! It was *̴̨̰͆͒v̴̧̛̊*̶͕̬̂̆n̸̺̑̇!
...
I suddenly woke up and saw a wooden ceiling. I was lying on a wooden bed... By that, I mean an actual wooden bed with no mattress.
“What the hell?” I said to myself confused.
I sat up on the bed and looked around me.
The room I was in was very small. No more than 3 people can stand in here before it starts feeling cramped in here. There was a single wooden chair and a small table right beside me which had an ink bottle and a quill in it, there was also a lit wax candle right beside it.
“Where am I?” I shook my head the remove the groggy feeling “Wait, Wasn't I dreaming of something?” I kept thinking of what I dreamt of, but like most dreams, it was completely blank. “Nah, probably nothing, can't remember a thing.”
{Author note: SON OF A BI-}
There was a single door in one corner so I finally stood up from the bed and went through it. As I got through it, the scene in front of me seemed familiar. I was underground in a large open area, There was a circular stadium in the middle, on the side there was abused training dummies, sparring equipment and some armor stands with wooden armor on them. There were also stairs at on end that only went upstairs.
Isn't this the Guild Arena? I didn’t notice this room here before.
I hurried upstairs and saw Lark working behind the counter instead of Liza with the whole place crowded with mean looking adventurers.
I was correct, this is the adventurer’s guild.
Lark was busily helping everyone with their request's until he saw me and was genuinely surprised.
“Holy Shit Evan! You already up?” He said as most of the adventurers started looking at me.
“Already up?” What did he mean by that?
“Wait hold on let Me help these guys first.” He said as continued to help the long line of adventurers with quest papers in their hands.

I nodded and stood next to wall before I watched lark working.
The work seemed easy, write on paper what quest the other person wants with some details and give rewards to the one who was completed their quests.
After about a minute or two, the guild was quiet again.
Lark made a sigh.
“Geez. That damn Liza always making me in charge whenever she's tired.” Lark complained to himself but he was still loud enough for me to hear.
He then looked at me in surprise “Oh Yea! How the Hell are you up already!?”
“What do you mean by that?” I was still confused as to what had happened.
“Didn’t you collapse from exhaustion? You should’ve seen the hell Lil miss put up while carrying you in her hands.
Oh yea, I remember now, I collapsed due to low stamina left. And did Luna carried me here for help?
Stamina! Show me Thy Status!
Stamina: 11% Remaining
I'm still running on fumes.
“How long have I been out?”
“Um, let me think.” He paused as he looked away, thinking. “About ten minutes or so? Why do you ask?”
“That's why I feel like I can collapse any second now.” I lied without missing a beat, Pain Immunity doesn’t let me feel any kind of weakness, so even though I’m running on fumes, I feel like I’m completely rejuvenated.
I then pointed towards the stairs I came up from, “I didn't know that room existed before.”
“Oh yea, that's the guild leader room. But since she never stays here, that room is empty and... Well, a piece of shit.”
Huh, glad to know you’re respected in your community, guild leader.
I crossed my hands as I stood beside the wall, “Sooo, do you know what happened? I remember leaving the room Luna was in before collapsing.”
Lark stood there behind the counter and made a helpless face. “Well nothing much happened, Liza wanted your report on the incident so she was going to go see you but then Lil missy Luna busted in here while holding you. We did some check-ups and found out that you were just tired and collapsed from exhaustion. We didn’t know what to do so in the end we put you down there in that room. Finally, just a few minutes later, you're already here.”
Oh.
“And where are the others?” I asked.
Lark nodded, “The Lil' Miss and the gang are upstairs having a fill. Liza has gone home for some rest and Arnold is in his usual place.”
That's good. Tifa and Sarah are probably taking care of the horse's since they can’t or rather they won't leave without me. Aside from that, I have to renovate my house and make it have enough space for a family of five.
I was about to walk towards the exit and search for the elves, but Lark suddenly looked like he remembered something.
“Oh Yea! I almost forgot, but why is Lucy the genius upstairs waiting for you?”
“Lucy what now?” I looked at him and asked.
Lucy... Who the hell is that?
“Dude! You don't know who Lucy the genius witch is!?” Lark was shocked while I kept trying to remember but no matter how much I thought, it didn’t ring any bell.
“Uhhh, No?”
Wait, why is that name starting to sound Familiar?
“Okay, what about, she's the youngest ever Magician who is also a great Alchemist being able to make 8 different types of potions. You should’ve have gone to the alchemist by now right?”
Oh yea! Now I remember. She's the girl who made a big deal of the mana potions. Why is she waiting for me?
Oh, Wait a minute. I just remembered why she's here.
Oh no, I told her I would make her my disciple and then forgot about it.
I jumped away from the wall, and hurriedly told Lark, “Shit. Lark tell Luna and the others that I'm going to do some work outside this kingdom and will be back by tomorrow.”
I started to Skedaddle Dee doo out of there but I heard Lucy’s scream “SHISHO!!”
Mission Failed! We'll get 'em next time.
“Ah Crap!” I said as I ran out the door before anything else happened. My destination is back home, I have to renovate it ASAP and there isn't a damn thing that's going to stop me!
I felt like the universe was testing me since I didn't even move an inch outside before some guy pointed at me and screamed. “HEY LOOK! ITS THAT GUY THAT'S BEEN MISSING!”
What? I thought confused as I looked around and all passerby kept recognizing me
“Yea! The Genius Lucy and the Queen are both looking for him.” Some other guy shouted “There's even a bounty for Someone bringing him to her Highness!”
WHAT!? I was confused until I heard Lark screaming from within the guild.
“HEY EVAN! I FORGOT TO TELL YOU THAT LUCY TOLD THE HIGHNESS OF YOUR DISAPPEARANCE AND THEY PLACED A QUEST TO FIND YOU!”
OH, GREAT FLIPPEN TIMING LARK!
I was figuring out how to run since a mob of people had already surrounded me and I heard Lucy from behind me “Shisho!”
Lucy came out to see me being surrounded by hundreds of people. It wasn’t long until Oswald also came by “Sensei!”
I was a bit annoyed, I turned around and looked at Lucy “You do know that you created this mess.”
She looked sad for just a moment, “But...” She said as she suddenly got angry, “Wait! It's your fault for disappearing like that!”
“Yea we waited for days at that Guild.” Oswald added.
“What?” I said as I didn’t buy their story, “Didn't the Guild told you that I was gone on a mission.”
They both immediately looked away with guilt.
Oh, you two bitches.
I wanted to be angry at them, but a commotion started behind the mob of people surrounding us.
“OUTTA MY WAY!” A piercing voice screamed out, I turned to see who was screaming and saw some guys with Silver armor on white horses holding some metal spears with yellowed tips.
The people surrounding us got scared and immediately started running away.
Are these guys in charge here?
The guy who looked like the leader, came in front of me on horse-back. “Mr. Evan of the Silver Daemon Tribe. you are needed in an audience with Her Highness.” It's hard to look at his facial feature because of the silver helmet completely covering his face.
“And if I say no?" I said as I put my hands on my hips.
I woke up like 5 mins ago and I’m already knee deep in shit. Why does everything have to go wrong every single time. I complained to myself as the Leader of the soldiers pointed his spear at me.
“Then we will have to use force.” The rest of the dozen or so soldiers readied their spears at his motion.
I can’t go with them. If I go with them I’m gonna collapse in an alleyway due to exhaustion. Though, I have the grappling hook I can escape easily, but that would leave Luna and the gang behind. And we all just became a family.
Damn!
I shrugged my shoulders “Fine, Whatever, Let's go. Just make it quick.”
