You might be wondering why I didn't question it at first... Well it was because the memory was so fuzzy and I was being sucked into the circle and my consciousness like falling into deep sleep. I didn't really know but I had just figured it out about a year ago.
I got teleported to a nearby meadow with my starting gear. I spotted a slime, my first enemy so what did I do? Tried to slay it like any good RPG players of course! Well... Emphasised on the word 'tried' there because I got beaten to a pulp by that fricking slime. And you know what? My staff broke instantly...
(Interjecting)
"Huh? Why did it broke?"
"It's too early for that... After I finish retelling my whole life story then maybe I will give you your answers"
(End of interjecting)
If it hadn't been for Helen and Troy, I would have been swallowed and melted into nutrition for that Slime. I didn't know if it was my own good luck or some sort of plot armour but I was thankful to be alive and well.
Troy probably had told you that we'd been adventuring for a while, going to interesting places, meeting Hector for the first time, fighting extremely hard and difficult dungeon's bosses and looting some fine treasures. The staff that I got with me is named Staff of Midnight. I got it from a traveling merchant with a low price and that was also how I learned about Dark Magic and decided to become a Dark Mage, learning how to summon familiars and casting a lot of Dark Magic. It was fun because I always had either Troy, Helen or Hector or even all three of them to watch me try out new types of Dark Magic!
And after our battle with the dragon, I honestly don't know why they just don't call it 'dragon', they always call it Obsidian or Inferno Magma Dragon. Like from my perspective, it's just too tiresome...
It always seemed so lonely when everyone is doing their thing... But hey! At least I got Troy by my side at that moment! I was soooo lucky to have him there!
"Hey! Are you ignoring me! You little bitch!"
"Yeah! Don't ignore us if you know what's good coming for you!"
"Yeah!"

"*Hic* Shut up already you.. ugly ass bitches!" Troy was sitting next to me, he was still in his drunken state as he laid on the table sleep talking. "She's beautiful, 'ear me? Don't come talk smack to her... *Hic!*" Honestly, I don't know whether he was telling the truth or not or maybe he was preferring to Helen...
"Oh? *Snort* Is that your boyfriend in this new world, perhaps? My what a charmer, pffts hahaha!"
"Oh, he's hot"
"*licks her lips* Definitely~ Hey hottie!"
"Hey you! I've heard about you... Your fame was what I needed to find this ugly ass next to you"
"What's your problem anyway? I remembered that I didn't do anything to you! I had helped you three from time to time! So why are you still chasing me?"
"Cause you thought that it was a good revenge to be dating my boyfriend behind my back now wouldn't you?"
"Why are you still mad about that! Did you forget that you ordered your goons to push me off the building!?"
"Pfftt *snort* Fthhahaha! Would you think that's enough? Not in hell!"
Crystal unsheathed her double cresent moon shaped short swords from her waist and took a stance at me, "Hehe, look here freak! I've been blessed by the Goddess! This is her weapon and I'm going to use it to cut you down and steal your boyfriend away just like you had done to me!"
"Seriously, what are you? Trying to act like a bad villain much? And also how much money did you take from the Goddess?"
"Of course all she had to offer, hehe"
"And how long have you been here?"
"We've been here for about a week! Managed to seduce some idiot adventurers so we don't have to lay a finger on dirty work like ugh 'working' and through intel I had finally managed to find your suffocating face!"
I was visibly annoyed. They don't even know how hard it is to be an adventurer and get to work with such great allies! I was ready to give her a lesson but that was when Troy stood up and defended me.
"*Hic* Listen 'ere, ugly bitches... You don't mess with my comrades! And also *hic* I don't know who you are or *hic* how you three are related to Kokoharu but I'm gonna kick your ass if you spit dirt on our lifestyle as adventurers!"
"Ha! Don't make me laugh! Adventurers are just some lousy, dirty and nature loving FREAKS! Risking their lives for nothing! I've heard about you, Dragon Slayer Troy! I thought about making you my slave once I've finished making this world mine but it seems like you aren't even worth to. Be one! Hiiyaa!"
Safe to say, she wasn't much of a problem. When Crystal first made her move, it was already over as Troy went in and countered her attack by unarming her and grabber her by the throat lifting her up into the air.
"Amateurs... *Hic*"
"W-Why you! You're gonna pay! I'm going to be the strongest and rule this stupid world and one day I will make you my slave!!! The Goddess will give me power!"
"Wh- *Hic* What are you even talking about? Shut up already and accept that you lost!" Troy used his boots to smash the weapons to pieces, "Huh... Seems like you got scammed..."
"W-What? M-M-MY WEAPON!! THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE ME TO THE TOP OF THIS WORLD!! W-WHY YOUU!!"
"*Spit* Listen... Weapon... Doesn't *hic* doesn't make you powerful... It's the people around you and the one who are on your side... They're more *hic* more powerful than anything else..." I saw Troy turned around and whispered to his sword "I didn't really mean that, Rachel~"
"RNNNGHHHHH!!!" Troy then slammed her against the floor, making her unconscious, "Hey *hic* take her away, got it?"
"Oh um, yes!"
"Y-Yes!"
That was when my heart suddenly *Badum!*
"U-Um... Thank you for that... Troy... I didn't know that you would stand up for me like- that... I'm not even THAT attractive like Helen to recei-"
Troy moved his finger to my mouth making me feeling hotter and hotter as I blush deep red "Shhhhh~ No worry *hic* babe... You are Kokoharu, right?"
"Y-Yes! I am!"
"So don't listen to what people say *hic* bout you... You are Kokoharu... Kokoharu is Kokoharu... No matter *hic* whoever speaks ill of you, I'll be there to protect you so you can continue to be yourself!... I don't care if you're flat or unattractive! You got *hic* good personalities!..."
