In the northern part of Magnus Forest.

Ilario, a boy who was at age of 12 years old, he has short black hair, blue turquoise eyes, and an inherited mark of circular shape of dragon head with shining stars icon, black and shining light with gold aura, on the back of his right hand. He was wearing warrior suit with a black cloak, like a hunter.

He was standing on the branch of large tree and shot an arrow at head of X-Ursus, a monstrous bear, black fur, black-yellow eyes, its body size was bigger than the wild bear.

An X-Ursus was moving aggressively after it got a shot of arrow at its head.

Ilario shot the arrows continually at its head and its heart until its movements were slower. He activated “Invisible” and went near X-Ursus. He cut off its head with two dagger knives, then stabbed into its heart. He activated “Lumen”, the magic power which use to purify the dark magic power, on dagger knife to destroy a dark magic stone inside its body. He activated “Fire Burn” to burn its body.

Back to 7 years ago.

In Tokyo, Japan, 2022.

‘Hirohashi Takafumi’ a businessman who was in his middle thirties, wearing grey suit, thin and average tall, he has neat black hair and black eyes. He walked into a small building which has 3 floors and a business sign of HT Entertainment, a famous game development company in Japan.

“The sale amounts of ‘Zombie Detector Shooting’ has double increased yesterday,” said Yoshida, a secretary who was in her late twenties, she has long black hair and black eyes.

“Please make an update report, we will discuss in the meeting this afternoon,” Takafumi said.

Takafumi had started to develop game since he was 19 years old. He likes playing games, reading comics and novels as if these things were a part of his daily life. He was a genius and talent for computer program, he had succeeded in developing his first computer game called ‘The Phantom Venture’ at the age of 22. It had reached to the top 10 of sale ranking in a month, the sale amounts have reached to 100 million yen within a year. He had established ‘HT entertainment company’ after he got high income, he was developing many games and expanding his business since then.

Takafumi has never succeeded in his love life, more precisely, he has never care about loving relationship before. He was a single man who working nonstop after he established his company, and he sleeps only 2-3 hours a day. He has never been in a relationship likes the others. He was one of ordinary people, his appearance was on average, plain guy, and not outstanding enough to attract any woman. Moreover, he loves and cares his job more than anything else.

The clock began to pass twelve in the middle of the night.

Takafumi was still working and planning for the story of new computer game. While he was working on computer, he suddenly felt dizzy and lost his consciousness…

Takafumi opened his eyes, he found himself in a musty room, small and dirty without any window. His body hurt. He recalled what has happened before he lost his consciousness.

He was confused with his situation because he woke up in the different room, he remembered that he was working in his working room.

He thought to himself, ‘Did I sleepwalk?’ ‘Where is this place?’.

He stood up and looked around. When he looked above, he found that the ceiling was so high. Every parts of room look very strange.

His eyes slowly adjusted to the dark.

He went to the door and tried to open it but the door knob was higher than usual. He raised his hand to turn the door knob.

“Eh?” He exclaimed after he saw his hand.

“Huh? Why is my voice sound like a child?” He talked to himself.

He turned the door knob but he could not open because of the lock.

He thought to himself, ‘What’s happened to me?’ ‘Why I’m here?’ ‘It’s not my body, right?’, a lot of questions exploded in his mind.

He knocked the door to make the sound, ‘Knock’ ‘Knock’ ‘Knock’.

“Hello, somebody here? Please help Me! Hey, anybody…Help!” He shouted and tried to ask for help but no one responded.

Takafumi sat on the floor, he felt hopeless.

‘Tap’ ‘Tap’ ‘Tap’

He heard footsteps in front of the door.

‘Click’ ‘Click’ the sound of someone turn a key to unlock the door.

Someone opened the door. It was a man, European, who was in his thirties, big, high muscles, and tall. He has skinhead, many scars on his face and body, well-trained body like the military. He armed himself with light armor and sword.

He came closer and pressed Takafumi on the floor.

“Hey, what are you doing? Oi,” Takafumi yelled.

Another man came toward him. He was in his thirties, lean muscles, short brown hair, he looked like yakuza in European version. He put a collar on his neck, and shackles on his wrists.

“Hey, who are you? What you are doing?” Takafumi yelled.

“Shut up! You want to get hit like before?” A yakuza-like man shouted angrily. He swore irritatingly after he walked out of the room.

A big guy took Takafumi out of the room, they walked to the front door.

Takafumi felt pain, his entire body was aching. It had high possibility that the owner of this body got the severe hits.

Takafumi thought to himself, ‘If I assumed that both of myself and this child have died at the same time and I was reborn or reincarnated like the story in many novels…’ He tried not to believe but the situation has led to that way, ‘Should a god or someone else explain something to me first?’ a lot of question exploded in Takafumi’s mind.

He had no choice but to follow the bad guys and observe the situation around him.

A big man took Takafumi out of a small house, which was looks like a shabby house in the forest.

It was dark outside.

Takafumi saw the total of 6 men, including 2 men who locked him and took him out. They were arming like the mercenary in many comics.

He thought that he might reincarnate in some kind of fantasy world.

A big man took him into a carriage which completely covered.

He thought of jumping out on the way but he gave up before he could do so. A big man got in the carriage and sat near him.

He prayed inside his mind, ‘God…you can’t punish me in this way. Please help me!’

…

He heard no sound from god but the horses clip-clopping along the path. They were riding the carriage for a while.

He thought to himself, ‘What will happen to me?’ ‘Why this child got kidnaped?’ ‘I hope that it was just a dream’ a lot of question still exploded inside his mind.

An hour passed, there was a loud sound ‘Crack’ and the carriage has stopped.

“We got attacked,” a man shouted.

“Ouch,” “That way, the arrows came from that way,” another man shouted.

A big man got off the carriage.

‘Bam’ ‘Bam’ ‘Crash’

The fighting sounds were louder and kept continually.

Takafumi tried to get off the carriage and see the situation outside, he could not see anything from here.

‘Bang’ there was a loud sound near the carriage before Takafumi could get off the carriage.

Carriage’s door was open. Takafumi saw a pretty woman like a model, she has long brown hair and tie up, green eyes, pointed ears, and armed with bow and arrows.

‘Oh...an elf, a real elf, god...I can die peacefully after I saw a real elf’ Takafumi thought to himself. He got excited and completely forgot his situation.

She came close toward him and unlocked the collar and handcuffs out of him.

“Thank you. Who are you? Do you know me? I didn’t know why I got kidnapped?” Takafumi asked her hurriedly.

She said nothing but raised her right hand above his head. He felt the light and warm wind blowing on his head, and then he lost his consciousness…

***

Takafumi opened his eyes, he felt no pain but comfortable.

He was on a bed, still half asleep. He got up and tried to regain his consciousness.

He looked around the room. He found himself in a cozy room which built from woods, it was small but he felt warm and comfortable.

He looked for a mirror to check his appearance but there was no mirror in this room.

‘Did I come to the fantasy world at the ancient time?’ He thought to himself and looked at windows which installed at high position. He saw a chair and thought of using it to climb up and see his appearance on a window.

A door was open. A woman elf came inside the room, her appearance looks like a human at age between 40 and 45, beautiful, blonde hair, and green eyes. She looks very kind and warm.

“How do you feel? You slept for 3 days. They hit you hard but our elder healed you completely,” she asked and smiled at him kindly.

“I’m feeling better. The pain is gone. Thank you for taking care of me,” Takafumi said.

“Could I ask you something? I do not know who I am and why I got kidnapped. I don’t even know why I was in this body. Would you believe me, if I say that I’m not a people in this world?” Takafumi asked continually, without breath.

She was surprised and said, “Queen Agnes, The Queen of Magnus forest and the elders will directly explain everything to you after you fully recovered.”

“My name is Carina. Are you hungry? I will prepare a meal for you,” she changed the topics of the conversation.

“Yes, Err... Do you have a mirror? I would like to see my appearance,” Takafumi asked, he felt embarrassed about his question.

“We have mirrors. I will bring one after served your meal,” she said and smiled kindly.

After a while, Ms. Carina brought a meal set of bread and mushroom soup to him. He thought that it might be real that elves are vegetarian.

He ate mushroom soup first, he has never thought that the taste was so delicious. He felt a relief, he can eat it several time even it was vegetarian food. He enjoyed the meal and ate it quietly.

A door was open. A man elf came with a standing mirror. He placed a standing mirror on the floor, said nothing, and went out of the room.

Takafumi finished the meal quickly and hurried to go to the standing mirror. He saw a handsome boy in the mirror, his age might be around 5 years old, he has short black hair and blue turquoise eyes. He was wearing plain white shirt and brown shorts. A boy has a mark on back of his right hand. He looked closely on it. It was a circular shape of dragon head with shining stars icon, black like tattoo, but it was shining light with gold aura lightly.

He wondered when he can meet The Queen of Magnus Forest and the elders. He wanted to know more about the reason why he was here and in this boy’s body.

Ms. Carina came back in the room.

“After Queen Agnes and the elders knew that you have woken up, they set the meeting date at tomorrow morning. If you need anything, please tell me. I will come back again at the dinner time. Please stay inside this house for the time being,” said Ms. Carina kindly.

“Yes, I will stay in this room. Thank you for taking care of me, and please say thanks to everyone who helped me on that day,” said Takafumi sincerely.

“It’s a pleasure. I will tell everyone for you. Please take a rest,” said Ms. Carina reassuringly, she smiled at him and went out of the room.

Takafumi wanted to see more the surrounding area, he dragged a wood chair to the area below the window. He climbed on a chair to see the outside through the window.

He has never imagined that he could see this kind of view. The scenery was incredible, this treehouse surrounded by the other treehouses and the large olive trees. As he could see, each of olive trees was very large like the tree in fairy tale, its trunk was around 10 meter wide.

They built the treehouse on large olive tree. It looks so natural like it sprouted from the tree itself. The design was like the fairy tales cottage house building from woods. They built all the treehouses in the same design. Each of treehouse has a mini dome which occupied on the left side. They installed the large windows at the front of mini dome. On the other side, they designed in rectangle shape, there were a front door and the porch in front, which connected to the stairs that use for going up and down between the treehouse and the ground below.

He was enchanted by the scenery and the atmosphere. This place would be a best choice for vacation if it is in the world that he came from.

He was spending his time to see the scenery for a while. He was clear everything in his mind and prepared himself for the upcoming situation after meet Queen Agnes and the elders tomorrow.

He thought about his past, he had no time to go for vacation after he established his company. He only sleeps 3 - 5 hours a day. He might die from hard work without rest enough. He even had no time for his family. His parents are very nice, they both are doctors, and no financial problem. They always supported him, gave him everything that he likes, and allowed him to do whatever he wants. He was grateful to them that he could work in a job that he loves. He also has a sister, she was 6 years younger than him. We were close when we were young. — He visited his family 2 years ago, he had no time to visit them last year because his business was in state of peak, he was very busy at that time. His family has tradition of meeting on the new year eve every year, we are all busy but we often meet each other on that day, like a family day.

Takafumi was very sad and felt guilty. He had no chance to meet them before he came here, by the way, dying matter was something unpredictable, he did not even believe himself that he has died at this age.

He thought to himself, ‘If I could turn back time, I will spend more time with my family. How do they feel when they found out that I have died at age of thirty-five? I felt deeply sorry for them. I regretted not taking care of my health since it was a main cause for him to die at this age.’ It was too late for him to regret everything that he had neglected in the past.
