Akiara was lying on the grass. She felt warm on the ground. "It's quite warm." she didn't want to open her eyes as she was feeling tranquil. She was afraid of losing it.

"Warm?!" She quickly opened her eyes seeing clear blue sky without sun yet it is so bright. She sat and looked around the surroundings. It was endless green plain. She could feel the warmth of the grass. There was a pavilion and underneath, there were two chairs and a table. There was young man with light yellow hair, sipping on tea. She couldn't see his face as he was turned on the other side. He felt her presence and kept the teacup on the saucer.

"I see that you are awake." the young man spoke as he sipped on his tea.

"Me?" Akiara asked.

"Yes you."

"Then... where am I? What is this place?"

"...."

Just then a gentle voice from nowhere spoke, "Poor child, do you realize that you've committed a sin?"

"Sin?" she looked around trying to find the source of the sound but to no avail.

"A sin for killing yourself."

"... but who are you?"

"You have to compensate for taking your life."

Her eyes grew wide as she looked at the sky, "Wait you didn't answer my question!?"

"Be respectful towards Goddess Aquene." the young man spoke in serious tone.

"Arnon you don't need to be angry. It is alright for the child to ask questions." her voice was soft and tranquil that Akiara felt ease in her heart.

"Since we don't have enough time as your body cannot stay without the soul so I will finish it quickly. I am granting you your world's and my world's knowledge and a gift from my side so that you can protect 'that person'."

"That person? Who is 'that person'?" She gestured showing double colons.

"I will only tell you that she has scarlet eyes. Protect her at all costs before the asmodians arrive."

"Asmodians? What are they?" Suddenly her eyelids became heavy. Her vision became blurry and flopped down on the ground.

She suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for air. She sat and touched her head, "Ouch! I touched my head where I got hurt from whiskey glass thrown by that damned man."

Then she tried to remember what the Goddess said, "Protect the girl with scarlet eyes."

"Protect the girl with scarlet eyes? How will I find her?"

"What kind of gift did the Goddess gave me?"

"But wait where am I?"

She stood up and looked around the surroundings. Trees and grass everywhere. No sign of humans or animals are seen.

"Where the heck am I? It's like an isekai fantasy world from novels and mangas." She looked at the clear sky.

"Huff."

She started walking hoping to find a way to leave the forest. As she was walking deep inside the forest, she heard a scream, "AAAHHHH!!"

She ran following the source of sound hoping to find someone.

_______

Clack. The young man with light yellow hair kept the teacup. He suddenly remembered something.

"Hey Goddess?"

"Yes Arnon?"

"We forgot to tell her that the forest is infested with high-level monsters."

"Since we forgot to tell her about it then this should be her first test in order to protect 'that person'."

"Do you think she will survive? Already two hundred people from her world couldn't get out of the forest and died in the hands of monsters."

"Well... we will have to wait and see on how she progresses."

He smiled and took the cup and sipped on his tea.

________

As she followed the sound, she was horrified by the sight. A group of four or five monsters were having a feast on a defiled woman. These monsters head comprises of lion's skull along with wolf ears and a body of human and nails were long and sharp ready to tear flesh up. She noticed a group with five people were also surrounded by these monsters.

A man with headband spoke, "What the f***! We didn't expect to encounter leosmodians! Even the guild master didn't say anything about it!?"

A girl beside the man with headband wearing shirt and pants with light armor looked panicked and serious, "What should we do Captain?"

Another young man wearing full armor looked serious, "We don't have a choice but to fight against them."

A young priestess behind the captain shaking in fear, "But... leosmodians are the worst monsters here!"

Their captain ignored her words and shouted, "Charge!"

Without a second thought they charged towards the monsters while the priestess was standing there horrified. Two monsters pounced on her and bit on her neck.

"GAAAHH!!! Save me!!"

They got distracted when they heard her scream. One of the monsters grabbed the hand of boy with headband and tore off his other hand.

"AAAAHHH!!" he screamed in agony.

The girl with light armor kicked the monster but it grabbed her leg and slammed her on the ground. Blood came out from her head. It started to feed on her.

"SAVE ME!!"

"Stop killing my comrades!!" Their captain shouted and started swinging his sword. But his sword snapped into two pieces when it hit on the monster's neck. It grinned and everyone gathered around him tearing his armor and limbs.

She was so horrified by the sight of massacre. She slowly took steps back to escape. "There's no way I can leave this forest at this rate. I must leave before they notice me." But she stepped on a twig which made a sound. She let out a small gasp as she looked down then the monsters. The monsters stopped eating and looked where the sound came from. They stood up and gathered around. Their mouth started to water and showed their long tongue. Her legs froze unable to move. Her heart was hammering against her chest. One of them pounced on her.

"Stay away. Stay away from me!" She was struggling with their strength as she was trying to avoid to bite her.

"Someone help me! HELP ME!!" She cried.

Her conscience suddenly spoke, "Idiot! How will you protect that person if you ask for help?"

Suddenly she realized, "That's right. If I have to protect her then first I must defeat these monsters." Her ocean eyes suddenly glinted.

The monster noticed her eyes. But it couldn't react as she grabbed its neck and got up. Her grip got tightened, blood started dripping down from the mouth. She threw it on the ground. All the monsters looked at the fallen monster then shifted their gazes to her. She looked both her hands wondering what actually happened.

"I'm not athletic as I remember. But how is this possible?" She thought.

All the monsters pounced at her without thinking. She rolled on the ground as she avoided their attack. She came near a corpse of a woman. She picked up the sword which was lying near her.

"I'll be borrowing this." She stood up and was in fight stance. They ran towards her.

She slashed them with consecutive attacks. She was amazed by her own super strength.

"What an explosive strength. This must be the gift of the Goddess."

They got up again and ran towards her. She slashed them off with one strike. Their heads flew spinning in the air and then fell on the ground. One of them called others for help. A group of twenty of these monsters appeared and surrounded her.

She shifted her gaze right and left, "There are at least twenty of these monsters to deal with." as she narrowed her gaze staring at them.
