《The Wonderful World of Emmariel》Prologue
Advertisement
I squinted at the screen staring back at me in it's various bright colours.
How long had it been?
While stretching my tired body, I twisted it leftwards to look at the wall-clock fixed on the wall just above the open door.
The grey walls of my room were being partly illuminated by the screen of my PC monitor. It had been over 9 hours. My eyes were exhausted and my entire body ached.
I pulled myself off the chair and stood upon the cold marble floor.
One of my legs had gone numb.
'It couldn't be helped', I let out a tired sigh as I thought so. While taking one last look at the display, I prepared to move my feet towards the open door which led to my living room. Dragging my numb feet on the floor sent jolts through my body. It felt awful no matter however many times I had experienced it.
I jerked it a few times and walked towards the kitchen. I fetched a bottle of cold water from the refrigerator and gulped half of it down while splashing the rest of it on my face.
'I haven't eaten much today but I couldn't take any chances', I snorted while thinking so and moved towards the bathroom to take a shower and finish the rest of my business.
The ice cold shower made my body shiver uncontrollably. It was late in December and almost New Year's. It was unbelievably cold but I could persevere through it, after all I absolutely hated warm showers. Warm water on my body made me feel like my skin was melting.
I carried myself back to my room while shivering. The cold breeze brushing against my skin didn't help either. 'I might get a cold…?', I thought but I didn't really have the need to worry about that.

As I entered the living room, what I first noticed was the bright screen of my PC monitor, still illuminating the dark room. I had decided to leave it as it is. What else lay before my sight was a noose, whose rope end was tied to a hook bound to the ceiling. I had only witnessed such a scene during public executions as capital punishment was still very much legal in my country and executing dangerous criminals by hanging was unusually popular.
About why I had such a threatening looking noose within my sight was a very long story. I giggled while looking at the noose suspended by the ceiling hook. I wanted things to be done with as soon as possible. I had already dealt with everything else.
I sent one last text to a friend of mine and another to my mother. I didn't need to type a very long message as my PC already had much of everything they would want to know about later. My heart ached as I pressed enter for the text I was sending to my Mother.
It was a calm and cold winter night, and my 10th floor apartment was as peaceful and quiet as always. 'My friend will be here in about five minutes, I guess…?', I thought while looking at the wall-clock. The wall-clock was an heirloom of my family, it had served many generations faithfully. It looked tired and crumbling.
Just like me.
'It's journey will end with me today', I smiled while thinking so. I leisurely walked towards the stool which I had already placed beneath the noose many days ago. Everything had already been prepared. The noose and the stool were placed at just the right height.
One last strand of hesitation rushed through me but I pushed it aside. I had to do it.
And so I did.
As the last of the light reached my eyes, an apparition of a person entered my field of view before an audible snap was heard with which my consciousness was also snapped away.

8 212Title Pending Adventures of Jackson and Barbara in another world!
Jackson Ripper is transported with his class to another world. As one would expect, they are asked to fight in a pending war, much to Jackson's distain. But, a month after arriving he is separated from the rest of his classmates and loses an arm and a leg. Worse yet, the person who mutilated him clings to his side. Now, he begins travelling with this walking natural disaster in a strange new world. Author notes: This is a story I started writing roughly two years ago (roughly 2017) on a whim and started using it to improve my writing skills. As such, it's mostly wish fulfillment based loosely on anime, light/web novels and comics. But wait, why post my strange, gruesome dream world on the internet? Because, I have a goal of one day writing something worth publishing. But to reach that goal, I need criticism, suggestion and advice. Plus it feels like a waste to keep this beauty all to myself. I currently plan to release one chapter a week, on Saturday afternoon or evening.

They all stood in front of a dark red house with a few stories. A raven haired man ran his fingers through his hair before knocking on the wooden door. "Um hi! My name is Jin and my friends I were wondering if a lady named Je-Aphmau lived here or on this street," the olive skinned man stated to the shirtless man who answered the door. He looked at the group of five peculiar looking men before shouting "Aph its for you!" Then a sun kissed girl ran down the stairs. She walked to the door in disbelief. "Long time no see!" A young man in a squirrel hoodie said before hugging the shocked girl. There here.... There back.... There alive..... Was all that ran through the dark haired girl's mind........
