《What in the World?》Prologue + Chapter 1
Advertisement
I could move my body freely yet, I don't feel I'm moving at all. I could feel that I'm blinking my eyes yet, all I see is darkness.
Just a moment ago, I was outside and brought myself some midnight meals before continuing my study for my exams for tomorrow but suddenly a circle like something glowed below me and the next thing I see is total darkness.
After a few moments of being stuck in this darkness. I could see a small dim light appeared in front of me. Seeing the light I unconsciously extended my arm to grab it, but to no avail, I could reach it.
A minute later I could hear whispers of a language that I never heard before. But before I knew it I was starting to get dizzy and felt sleepy. I struggled to open my eyes to see who was whispering but no matter where I look, I could see no one and only I alone was in this darkness.
"am I going to die?" was the last thought I had before giving up my futile attempts of trying to resist the urge to fall asleep.
--
Time passed by I knew I was asleep but to my surprise I was conscious. First I tried counting how long have I been asleep but later gave up when I reach an hour. I was just tiring myself for no reason and so I was trying to remember what had happened before I came here in this darkness.
I have just got out of the convenience store buying myself some meals before continuing to study I was alone in the middle of the street where I'd always walk to reach my dormitory but then something strange happened.
A bright white light suddenly appeared and circled below me surrounding me, I was amused when I thought about it. This was like a magic circle on one of the books that I've read as a kid. I thought it was some kind of prank but never would I imagined that I would now be in this state.

Suddenly I could feel something on my body for the first time, I felt that I was currently lying down on something. I slowly opened my eyes and I could feel it was moving and slowly seeing light. Finally, after a long time in the darkness, I have woken up.
After waking up my joy died down instantly as I was greeted with a pain that was all over my body. I could hardly sit straight as I began to struggle going up.
"Ara, you're finally awake?"
Turning my head to see where the voice came from I saw a middle-aged woman. She was carrying a bunch of fruits on her basket. I would have taken this as normal, but the next thing I noticed was her clothes. Her clothes were like from the past people had worn like from the movies that I have watched that were in the middle ages. I was confused so I began to look around and notice that the interior of the place looks like I'm inside in a wooden hut.
The middle-aged woman looked at me somewhat confused and asked.
"Are you okay? It had been two days now since I found you in the forest all bloodied, at first I was surprised and the next thing I knew was that you didn't have any wound then, it must be someone's else blood."
"Oh I, see" was the only thing that I could say. I could still feel something painful internally but there were no wounds on my body that could be seen.
"You must be hungry, take these fruit and eat. I'll be heading outside for a moment". The middle-aged woman looked at me and smiled kindly and handed me some fruits that were from her basket. She then goes outside of the hut.
Seeing the fruits they were apples and a bunch of them. Without hesitating anymore I started eating it. A moment later the middle-aged woman came back with an old man beside her. The old man's clothes were more ragged than her and he walks with a cane on his left hand.

"Hello, young man I would like to introduce myself first I am Gerrart and this woman beside me is Maine who found you outside the forest from the other day."
"What can I call you young man? and where are you from? we rarely have any people outside visits us.
Seeing their clothes the interior of the place, and the weird magic circle from before I have already concluded that I might have been transported to another world. This so-called transporting to another world was a hit theme for any books and novels in my place, never would I imagine it to be true and would happen to me.
"I am Max, but I can't remember where I came from..." I answered and tried to look at their reaction from my answer but there was nothing wrong instead the old man smiled kindly and began to explain some things for me.
They were a small village with a population of close to hundredth people they came from the Kingdom of Mercia. The Kingdom of Mercia was a thriving kingdom before it got hit with a mysterious plague from fifteen years ago, where almost half of the population died. Even the kingdom's top doctors couldn't find a cure and were instead hit by the plague and also perished. Seeing the plague was already out of control the village elder decided to move away as far as possible while they weren't hit by the plague yet.
For fifteen years they have stayed here and started to build their place. There wasn't any problem with food as the place was full of fruits the only thing that they lack was meat. First I was surprised because couldn't they just hunt animals for meat since this was a forest. But then the elder continued and explained that while the place was abundant of fruits the place was surrounded by wild beasts, and by beasts, they weren't those normal animals instead they were twice or thrice bigger than they would normally look like in my modern world and were more ferocious.
Every month there would be villagers sustaining injuries by just trying to hunt a single boar and would even end with death if worst comes to it. But luckily after staying at this place for fifteen years they began to adjust themselves and would only sustain light injuries.
As the sun was slowly setting down, we finally finished talking. Gerrart and Maine proceed to head out and told me to get some rest and they would introduce me to the village tomorrow morning.
I laid down on my bed and I was in deep thought unknowingly I was actually grinning. The information I received from Gerrart of this world was just what I imagine it to be. There was somewhat a fantasy element on it and I was excited I got to transport in an unknown world where the technology from my modern world hasn't been invented yet.
"HAHAAAAHAHAHAHA" While holding face I began to laugh madly alone, without noticing I sat down instantly I felt the pain run down to my body again and forced me to lay down back.
"But first I must sleep first to get better before everything else." I could feel my body started to feel relax and the sleepiness came in without a minute I was already asleep waiting for tomorrow.

"I don't know who you think you are coming here, and acting like you don't care about anything. Now listen here Princess, because I'm not going to repeat myself. Here's a couple of rules that I'd like to enlighten upon you. Number one, you do not talk back to me. And two, you don't mess with me or the rules," his breath fans my face and I close my eyes. The proximity between us was terrifying. "I've dealt with many bitches like you, so I suggest that you follow those rules unless you want to end up like them," - he leans in. His mouth lingers near my ear, "used."... "... You might think that you run this place, but you do not run me. Understand? And the sooner you understand that, the better it'll be for the both of us," I warn staring right into his eyes before walking away. I was more than amused by his dumbfounded expression. I stop, and turn back around, facing him, "And one piece of advice, know what you're fishing for before you start fishing.
