Advertisement
As the campfire died, the wind became cold for both of them. The girl was shivering as she tried to sleep while Haru remained calm. He had already experience this and wasn't affected by the cold weather. The girl approached Haru and slept at his shoulder. He glared at her and was about to kick her. He notice that she was cold and let her sleep at his shoulder. His heart became a little warm.

The girl woke up to see that she slept beside him. She quickly backed off and tried to run away.
"Mom...dad..."
Haru began talking at his sleep which made the girl stopped. She listen to his voice as he was curious about him. His tears fell as he reached his hand.
"Please....don't...go..."
The girl remembered his mother as told her.
[When a man tries to reach out his hand as he sleeps, that would mean that he had encountered something horrible. Try to ease his suffering if you can.]
When she remembered her mother's words, she would try to hugged him to ease his pain and maybe he won't kill her. She then hugged Haru.
"Dafaq?"
As Haru awoke by the girl's body heat, he was started about what to do. He could always do what he did to the girls who tried to approached him but seeing as she was shivering, he could only chopped her head.
"The fuck you doing?"
As he said that, the girl knew her fate was about to end but...
"Thanks anyway..."
Haru turned around as he stood up. Seeing this, the girl was glad that he didn't kill her. When Haru turned to looked at her, he saw her kind smile that made his heart skipped a beat. His face began to flush as he try to hunt some food.

The girl didn't escape because she knew Haru would easily caught her but she was a little glad that he didn't kill her or raped her, yet. He exlained to her that he needed someone to test his cooking skills and check if it is poisoned or not but i was an excuse that he only need her to company him as he venture out the world.
He needed her knowledge for finding out a way to return to his world. He was sent here without any knowlegde and he didn't need adults to guide him because they were untrustworthy to him (and he was also rejected by Hughes because he didn't want to leave his inn.) And it was a perfect moment the he met her.
"I'm Alysha von Euranio."
"Haru Tomori. Just call me Haru."
As they journey together, they talked each other about their hobbies and stories. Haru relaxed that this girl's personality was good and he told some secrets to her. He didn't explained that he was from the other world but he told that he was seperated from his family. The girl becaeme teary eyed as she suddenly hugged him. As he shove her off, he felt a little sting at his heart when he seperated with her.
They continued they journey but Haru was curious about his heart. Why is my heart beating so fast? Why does my heart sting when i seperate from her? Many question arise as he didn't know himself. As he kept thinking himself, he saw a young girl charge at him. He could easily dodge but he was a little daze and couldn't react on time. As he try, to move, Haru was covered by the girl's chest as she tackled him. She pinned him down as two shadow had approach them.

"Get off me bitch!"
He toss the girl as someone had caught her. When the shadows entered the light, they were seen as people who sold slaves. They were slave merchants as they caught the slave. As they saw Haru and Alysha, both of them smiled.

Lost in a Dream
Published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! If dreaming is a drug, then I'm a junkie. For most people, sleeping is an obstacle. Something to get out of the way, so they can get back to their life. For others, it's an escape to nothing, a blissful break from the wears of life. It's the opposite for me. I live so that I can dream; I work so that I can go home and close my eyes, awakening in the real world. My real world. After all, what is reality if not the place where dreams don't come true? Can you fight a dragon on your way home from work, or conquer a foreign land to save an oppressed people from their malevolent overlords after vacuuming the living room? Can you visit a land where mountains look like freshly baked phyllo dough, or live in a castle bigger than my apartment complex? Tigers instead of taxes. Monsters instead of men with too much power. Reality is just the word we came up with to accept a mundane life. A birthing place for grander ideas we wish could materialize. I choose to live in a world where they do.

Modded Skyr*m: Real Life Edition
It seems that I died while I was playing VR Skyr*m. The next thing I knew, I was standing in front of the middle-aged man who called himself The Overlord of Dremora and Dragons. He told me they were releasing Skyr*m: Real-Life Edition. However, you have to be dead first to play it, and I was chosen as a 'beta tester' of sorts. I found myself in a semi-realistic (thanks to mods) world, and I want to have fun and relax for the rest of my life, and maybe get back to Earth. There's just a small *RAWR* problem. Setting: This happens within the world in The Legend of the Fake Hero, specifically two arcs from now. About: I am writing this for fun as a side project. I intend this to be semi-interactive as I will have polls where readers can influence the book's direction. I have the final say because I believe that too many cooks in the kitchen are not a good thing. The plan is to write it in parts that are around 1-2k words. Typically around every 3 to 6 parts, they will be combined into a finalized chapter and re-edited for a smoother read. Release schedule: When I feel like it. I'll be more inclined to write if there is more interaction, both in comments and polls, towards the story. However, I will be focusing on The Legend of the Fake Hero because that is something I own entirely and enjoy. I will try to do consistent uploads. Disclaimer: This work falls under fair use as it is a partial parity, does not affect the value of the original work, is an original story within the setting (within my setting), and is not being sold. All IP belongs to their respective owners (including myself). Currently uploading on Scribble Hub and Royal Road under the same username.
