Ah, it feels nice to be dead. It’s quiet. I can hear only the sound of my breathing.

….

Breathing? I shouldn’t be able to hear. But I can’t be alive. Not after that.

I opened my eyes.

[Am I really alive? Or is this just what the afterlife looks like? Bright and sunny...I doubt it] (Yuki)

Even though it is brighter in here, I am sure this is the cave I was in before.

Why. Why. Why. Why did that happen to me? What have I ever done. It was hell. Where is that monster anyway?

I look in the direction of where my legs are supposed to be.

[No way...it’s still there. My legs are still there] (Yuki)

It doesn’t make any sense. Why are my legs still there? My arm...it’s there too…

[Let’s think logically. It might have been a dream. Yeah! A dream...but my clothes are bloody. Just..how?] (Yuki)

[Gurururu] (Yuki’s stomach)

Before I understand what is going on, I need some food...and water.

I leave the cave and look for some food and water. I make sure to check if the monster from last night is anywhere near. I found something that looks like an apple and took it to eat. I keep looking until I get to a river.

[Aha! Some water! I still don’t know if it is safe to drin--] (Yuki)

My hair. What happened to my hair? Its completely white...How?

[I did hear that something like this can happen but...in one night? That’s too much] (Yuki)

[Cha!]

I slapped myself. No, it is not a dream. I need to sit and think.

I have two things on my mind:

Where the hell am I? What the hell happened last night?

Everything around me looks strange. The “apple” from earlier is still in my hand. I don’t want to eat it. It looks strange. For one, the colour is strange. It looks like an apple, but it is blue. No one in their right mind would eat this. The trees look strange too. They have weird shapes. There’s also the fact that I was attacked by a monster. I could have said it was an animal, but it looked to strange to be just an animal. It had long and sharp protruding teeth. There has been something I’ve been wanting to say for a while now, but it’s too stupid…

[...This is a fantasy world isn’t it?] (Yuki)

Yeah, like hell it is...but this scenario...it’s like a light novel I found in Miki’s room…

[I wish I had someone to explain this to me] (Yuki)

Just as I said that, I heard a ping in my head

[The tutorial is now over]

Tutorial? What? I don’t even remember it beginning!

[Ah, but this confirms it...This really is a fantasy world..] (Yuki)

Yeah, I totally accept it.. Like hell I do! If this is another world, why wasn’t there someone to greet me?! Like a king or...a beautiful princess… Oi! This isn’t the time for that! And why did I have to go through...that?

[This doesn’t make any sense...but as it is, the only possible answer is that this is another world…] (Yuki)

As I said that, I heard someone walking towards me.

[Who are you? What are you doing here?] (???)

I turned around and there she was...a blonde beauty.
