Authors's comment: Thank you all for reading my first chapter folks. Im a total begginer and a scrub, but I will do my best to write consistent and unique chapters that will force you to come back for more. If you have any suggestions or grammatical flaws you wish to point out, please do so. Since English is my 2nd language, grammar isn't my best suit. Also one more thing.. If I abuse 4th wall-chan too much, please stop me by all means. This chapter is a bit small but I hope next one will really get the story going. Enjoy!!! :)

As I was thinking about my past, I knocked on the door of a familiar house that I spent my childhood in. I applied slight pressure on the door and it opened which was very weird. I wonder if they are doing something and coincidentally somehow forgot to lock the door. Seems like someone is talking in the other room. I entered the room and spotted grandma and grandpa sitting on the chairs by the table with an unfamiliar girl looking to be my age. She was very pretty and had silky white hair that stretched to her back. Her eyes were big and full of happiness, as she was smiling at grandma and grandpa. I wonder if she is from the next village because I didn’t see her here earlier. When grandma saw me, she told me.

“Oh Sky-dear please sit down and meet my granddaughter Lora who came to visit us after she had finished her studies in a distant land.”(Grandma)

“Hello Skylar, I’ve heard so many nice things about you. My name is Loraine but you can call me Lora if you would like. Nice to meet you.” (Loraine)

“It’s nice to meet you too.” I said as I was looking her with a tilted head still wondering why grandma never told me about her. (Me)

“Well I’m going to the kitchen to make some cookies and some tea.” (Grandma)

“I think I will go do something in the garden.” (Grandpa)

Is it just me or grandma and grandpa did this so I could be left alone with this girl that I met for the first time… A little awkward atmosphere probably because I don’t really know how to start a conversation. I guess she is shy a bit so I guess I have to make the first step.

“So Lora where did you study?” (Me)

“I have been studying in the White Kingdom in the north where, as you would expect, there is always snow. The school was high in the mountains. There I was learning about magic and enchanting.”(Lora)

“Oh really! I have been learning that too here in the school next to our village! What mage degree do you have?”(Me)

“I have finished the school so I now have 2nd degree recognition.”(Lora)

“Wow that’s so awesome. I have one more year and I’ll be there too. For how long are you going to stay in this village on your visit?”(Me)

“I planned on leaving fairly quickly, maybe 2 days from now.”(Lora)

“Oh… that’s very unfortunate.”(Me)

I was hoping on asking her to share some recipes with me and also show me some 2nd grade magic but I can see that will have to wait until her next visit.

“Hey, umm, do you want to come with me to an adventure?”(Lora)

“WHAT? That’s really sudden, won’t you agree? I mean I have 1 more year and I will be a 2nd grade magician. Please give me some time to think at least…” (Me)

That really came out of nowhere. I wonder if I would get in the way. After all I would only be a burden to her.

“Okay then, I will give you 1 day to come up with an answer. Besides I was looking for someone to help me on my journey over the world.”(Lora)

She only just met me and she is now asking me completely out of the blue to come with her on her journeys… I must agree that life over here has become somewhat boring, but for me to suddenly go on a journey with a girl I barely know. I will really need to think about this hard. Also I don't think I have repaid the debt of my professor...

And like that our main character began to bust his head looking for a straight answer. As far as the unknown girl named Lora, she is definitely not in the least a shy person. You will see what I’m talking about later. Oh boy will you see…..

~(next day)~

What a strange dream I had. Wait.. what is that on my side just now? It feels really bouncy when I try to touch it but I don’t know what material this is. Maybe a new pillow? I wonder if grandma put it there since it’s the rarest of occasions to sleep at their place upstairs. Well I do feel a bit tired so maybe I’ll just sleep some more. Grabbing the ‘pillow’ that seems to be somewhat small I hear a very high pitched shriek right at my ear. Well that woke me up completely and almost broke my ear membrane. As I was slowly opening my eyes I got slapped so hard that I went flying out of the bed and dropping on the floor like a ragdoll. As I was flying though, I seem to have seen a glimpse of a blushing girl who was covering her chest. Oh no… This seems to be another one of those famous clichés that happen on the beginning of every ecchi novel. (SIR! We have another crack! If this continues I’m afraid we will have to plead our public not to press charges!)(Hmm, I will just buy some steam keys and have a giveaway. I’m sure everyone will understand immediately!)

When I came to my senses I opened my eyes rubbing them. Ughh looks like I have a good headache from that fall. I hope Lora isn’t too mad about that. EVEN THOUGH IT ISN’T MY FAULT SHE CAME TO SLEEP RIGHT BESIDE ME, HOPING THAT I WOULDN’T SOMEHOW TOUCH HER.

Well now that I think about it. I did get slapped, but if she were to sleep right beside me every night on the so called journey I wouldn’t really mind. I do need a new pillow anyways. I don't know what will happen if I go on a journey with her, but I need experiance. I must face the fact that I won't stay in this village forever.

"Grandma, what do you think about this?" (me)

"Well Sky-dear, I think you should do what your heart tells you to do. It will be fun going on an adventure with my granddaugther. You will get to meet her and you will gain some insight as to what this world has to offer." (Grandma)

"That is true, but what about my school and the former professor who is paying for it? I still have a debt to repay!" (me)

"Don't worry dear, I know that professor and I will explain to him why and when. Afterall it's time for you to set journey to the unknown, you have a lot of talent and will do great things in the future, I'm sure of it!" (Grandma)

"Alright then, I guess I will accept her invitation. I'm sorry that I won't be there for you if you need me." (me)

"Don't worry about such things, we know where to ask for help if we do need it one day." (Grandma)

And so he finally agreed to accept the invitation to the journey. I mean if I were to get an invitation from a sweet looking babe that I just met! Hell yeah I would agree no doubts about it. He later on told her that he will agree to go on a journey with her but of course he had to apologize to her for her fault. What a goodie two shoes we have here folks. And so they started preparing for the upcoming travel in hope to find some wonders of the world and unravel mysteries that charm this world known as Hells’ Sanctuary. They will of course have a lot of efforts traveling but no spoilers just yet.
