Whew~ Alllllright. Now I got the hater problem done with... Enjoy~.
-Present time-
Just a week after the national summoning, in a forest on a mountain overlooking the nearby human capital, there were some reports of something humanoid donning white-hair falling from the sky after a bright flash of light appeared at approximately around early morning.
But due to the guards patrol time-frame to be as early as that, only some people that woke up abnormally early witnessed it. And the people that did witness were too small, so it was regarded as lunatic ravings.
-Morning-
"Mmmm... (Yaawwwwwn)... what... where am I..."
(Kris)
I open my eyes slowly. Only to find another pair of eyes staring back. And these eyes didn't seem human. They were golden yellow, having a shiny luster that was almost energy like, instead of the shiny mineral kind of luster.

What I saw beyond that, caused me to take a double take.
I blinked, looked again, and instantly blushed. Why? Because those eyes belonged to a girl. She looked like a ten-year old, with waist length golden yellow hair, which covered one of her eyes.
Now, normally nothing would make me react to a girl, because the ones from before in my previous world all bullied me for Kevin. They had a dark maddened and ugly look in their eyes that couldn't be hidden no matter how much makeup they showered onto their faces.
But this girl, she was... not like an angel, but really cute... and her eyes. They weren't like any girls eyes that I had known. They were curious, but also kind-of dull. Like she didn't really have much emotion. Plus, she had an ahoge! How is that possible! She has an ahoge!
Authors note: (Basically a huge cow-lick of hair at the top of her hair)
Adding to her noticeable chest... Isn't this what Colby would call an oppai loli?!
Of course, none of this was enough to make me blush. Hmph, do you think the anti-social me would be made to blush so easily? It's the fact that... she wasn't wearing any clothes. I mean, who wouldn't?
"Um... hello... do you know where am I?"
(Kris)
"..."
She tilted her head slowly.
"I dunno..."
(???)
She quietly muttered. Hm, okay, location is unknown... I'm all alone with this girl... Wait! I'm not thinking of any bad things, don't worry. Even if she did manage to make me blush, She's only a kid, I'm no lolicon! But I'm a guy with a good heart!
I check my belts. Good, it seems that I didn't lose anything. I start spinning around my strings and focus on making something...
The girl just looks at me curiously while I spin. Wow... she's cute! ...

A-Anyway!
"..."
After, weaving for a while, I finish. It's a simple biggish... shirt thing? No wait... I alter my weaving pattern and make something... Tadah!
After about 30 minutes, I have made my first wearable thing! It's a robe! It pretty much fits the description of a Mages robe. Except that it's really simple.
I look over, the girl's eyes are sparkling, they're fixated on the simple robe I made... wow. Ah! I got a fun idea...
I toss it to her
"Here, you can have this"
(Kris)
"R-Really?"
(???)
"...Yeah, you should put some clothes on"
(Kris)
Her ahoge almost seems to stand up, if she could wag a tail, I think she would.
She immediately tries it on, and although a bit to big, I think it fits nicely. Seeing her eyes all shiny, I laugh a bit.
Then I take note of our surroundings. It's a really big forest clearing, and there doesn't really seem to be any trace of civilization...
"Where's your family?"
(Kris)
She pauses.
"Uuuu I don't know... I can't even remember if i had parents."
(???)
Hm, Okay... wait. What? I start to interrogate her. After that, I realize she's really timid and quiet... or more like, just quiet, no timidness, I finally get the gist of it after a while.
"So you just woke up around here and can't remember anything?"
(Kris)
"En."
(???)
Isn't this a little strange? This is a case of amnesia, right? Judging by the cruelty of this new world, she was probably traumatized by slavers killing her parents or some other cliche setting from my fantasy web-novels. Well, there could be a chance that she just hit her head and managed to survive in this place... I'll just pick her up and drop her off somewhere.
"Okay... can you remember your name?"
(Kris)
She seems to brighten up and recalls something.
"... En, It's Lucy"
(Lucy)
"Alright, for now, come with me Lucy, I'm Kris! I'll take you over to your parents or maybe let a nearby town's orphanage take you in!"
(Kris)
She seems to like that idea, so I guess that settles my plan. Huh, since when did I become this nice? Oh. I'm not nice. It's just... the look in her eyes isn't just innocent, it also carries a resemblance of the loneliness that I carried before I met Colby... oh. Now that's a good idea!
"Lucy, wanna be friends?"
(Kris)
"E-en! Ehehehe"
(Lucy)
Wow, She's really smiling there. Well, I guess if I just had amnesia and appeared in a dark forest, the person who appeared suddenly and decided to be your friend must be like a hero.
...
Huh? Isn't she a bit tooooo happy? It's like she's absolutely brimming with energy... w-what? Her cowlick is realllllly standing up... i-it's crackling?
All of a sudden, electric energy starts appearing on her cow-lick. I look at the sky after a huge cracking sound is heard.
I see it coming down on us... is a lightning bolt supposed to be that big? It's like, 4 times my hight and width! And don't tell me... Lucy made it appear?! ....ERHMAGHERDDDDDD!!!
"Tehehehe~ I made a friend!~"
(Lucy)
"GYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
(Kris)
That morning, people spit out their breakfasts after hearing a sound akin to a great northern Thunder Lion's roar, and then threw up whatever they had swallowed after hearing the terrifying sound that sounded like a banshee in an electric chair. (Same as modern electric chair, except powered by mana, or magic-stones)
The End! I really wanted to make someone who Kris won't be able to tsukkomi to, and something similar to a really stoic loli, so I came up with Lucy. Take a guess at what element affinity she is! XD

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
