I still felt nervous when I sat down next to the cat girl, frankly I know with certainty this body wasn’t mine to begin with. If anyone in the party started asking questions to some of which I could bullshit my way out however if it gets personal, I am in deep shit. As I glanced at the other party members, I noticed that the weapons they had were medieval at best and the magic the cat girl performed on me…No I cannot deny this any further… After crossing the portal, I ended up in a fantasy world where science doesn’t exist. The one thing that still bothers me is how I can still use the “Core System” from my cyberworld here.
*PAN!*
I felt a massive force slamming me on my back which almost made me lose my balance. Immediately I recovered quickly with the correct counterforce to get my body back up again. Looking to the left where I felt the slap, I saw a muscular man wearing a steel plate armour with nothing underneath and a brown pants. I saw that there wash a large axe sheathed behind his back with a cherry look on his face.
“I don’t know what you’ve been through lass, but cheer up! When we get to the next village, we’re gonna head straight to the Adventurers Guild and see if there is any one that is looking for ya .”
“Uh… Right.”
I muttered and my thoughts temporarily stopped as I rewound my brain back when the guy said, ‘Adventurers Guild.’ I may not be a fantasy gamer but hearing that sparked an idea, however there were a couple of things that I need to take care of.
“Are you adventurers?”
I noticed that I asked in a manner that I was never accustomed to, which completely took me by surprise. I pondered if this had something to do with the assimilation of the original soul.
“Yes, we are adventurers.”
I heard a female voice that sounded like it came from behind me so I looked up. Towering over me was a pure beauty with wavy golden hair and pointy ears. Which I immediately knew she was an elf. She was wearing what looked like a green leather armor on her upper body that covered her entire chest and a tight hot pants looking skirt. On her arms she wore some sort of leather arm guard that completely covered from her hands to her elbow. She made her way and sat down on the other side adjacent to me. I saw that she wore a knee length boots that looked like it was made from some elastic material and on her right leg, I saw a quiver attached to it. She then placed her bow down next to her
“I’m gonna get straight to the point but do you know your name and where you are from?”
The elf asked, still looking at me with a hint of cautiousness in her eyes. I mean I don’t blame her for coming across a suspicious camp and rescuing a maiden in distress. Correction, a transmigrated soul residing in a maiden. I quickly attempted to recall some of the memories I assimilated, to no avail I wasn’t getting a response. I decided to try and bullshit my name and everything else can be figured out later.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
“My name is Eliza and that’s all I can remember. I can’t remember anything else aside from that.”
I hung my head down to make it apparent I was showing the feeling of being sad. Back when I was still a digital lifeform I calculated that this response was quick enough to fool the people from the ‘surface’. The cat girl sitting next to me started patting me trying to cheer me up and the elf sitting across from me. The axe guy whispered something to the elf’s ear prompting her to give a necklace to me.
“Even if you do not recall your past, I believe this necklace belongs to you since I overheard one of the bandits talking about it.”
“T-thanks..”
I extended my hand to retrieve the necklace from the elf and as that occurred a sudden headache occurred right before I managed to retrieve it knocked me out cold. Right as my ears began to cease functioning I heard clamoring from the elf, cat girl and the axe wielder.
“H-hey!”
And then there was silence or so I thought. My eyes opened and I saw an unfamiliar ceiling however I noticed something was off as the body began to move. It was at the point when the ‘body’ got up that I cannot feel any response to my other body parts. Then it dawned on me that this was a flashback that belonged to the original body. After ‘I’ got dressed ‘I’ exited the room and proceed to walk down a massive hallway, which I assumed was a castle of sorts. The next five minutes strolling, ‘I’ approached a massive door with two knights standing in from of it.
The knights who saw ‘me’ gave a salute and proceeded to open the door. ‘I’ politely returned a curtsy back to the two knights before entering the room. The next thing I knew ‘I’ found myself running straight towards two figure sitting on two extravagant chairs, which I assumed where thrones where a king and queen sits on. Along the way, I noticed that there where four people kneeling down before the throne and from what I could tell by their attire, they were adventurers. The one in the middle was a young man with a sword on his left waist. The woman on the right side looked like a mage with her staff on her right hand on the ground. To the left side of the man was a muscular beastkin that reminded me of a lion race back in my cyberworld, he had a large sword sheathed behind his back. And behind the beastkin and the mage, was an elf similar to the elf I just met. This elf was wearing an elegant piece of dress that exposed only the upper part of her breasts. The only thing different about this elf was that her quiver and bow was sheathed behind her back.
As I got closer I noticed the elf had emerald hair and green eyes, the beastkin had brown eyes and ash brown fur. The young swordsman and mage both had matching black hair and brown eyes. From that I could tell they were siblings. The next thing ‘I’ knew ‘I’ sped up and jumped towards the king that I assumed was the father. The king quickly caught ‘me’ and gave ‘me’ a quick smiled at ‘me’ before facing towards the adventurer group.
“You are dismissed!”
He said before resuming pampering ‘m’e. He then set ‘me’ down and I ran towards the woman sitting next to him which was the queen. ‘My’ mouth opened and I could feel the words coming out of it.
“Papa! Mama! So is our kingdom is finally safe from the demons invasion?”
The king and queen looked at each other before looking at ‘me’
“Yes our dear Angelica. Our home is safe so we won’t have to part ways.”
Upon hearing this, ‘I’ felt a warmth emanating from my heart and looking up at both the king and queen, I triumphantly gave a bold declaration.
“I will grow up and be the perfect “Saint” for Papa and Mama!”
As ‘I’ shut my eyes I woke up to a feeling of a hard bump and found myself in a carriage. Later I noticed I was wrapped in a blanket and across from me, I could see a red blood stain streaking across the fabric of the carriage cover. Registering this as a sign that something was wrong, I pulled out my ‘MP5-N’ submachine gun from my ‘Core inventory’ with a reflex sight, double-sided magazine and a silencer. I cautiously proceeded to exit the backside of the carriage.
