A group of maids and butlers guided us through the entire building and showed us the place. We were in a modern large mansion that was nicely decorated with contemporary artwork and furniture. It had a lot of facilities, including a gym, exterior training grounds, a swimming pool, a cinema and a big library.
When we finished the guided tour, they showed us our individual rooms and told us to accommodate to them and to walk freely in the house. My room was average sized, but had an expensive looking bed that looked very comfortable, a big wardrobe with a large mirror, a table and chair and a door to a private bathroom.
After all this situation, I felt tired, but not physically. My circumstances in life turned arround dramatically in only one day, and now I had to adapt to the changes that the logical mind declared impossible.
I wanted to inspect my new body, to see how it changed… But I was struck with rejection and a little fear, so I didn’t wanted to even look myself in the mirror. If only I didn’t make a female character in the first place…
I was idle thinking in my bed for some time, but then I realised that the best action course was not being in my room pitying myself, and so I went to the door to exit the room.
I was in a large corridor, with a lot of doors in one side and big windows in the other. There were some people walking the corridors; the females weared the classical maid outfit and the males weared a typical black tuxedo.
I just ignored them, and looked to the window. It had amazing views, as I could see that the big mansion was surrounded by a lot of trees that formed a forest and small hills could be seen far away.
I kept walking; changing corridors and directions, but after some time I hit a dead end. I heard a pleasant voice.
“Are you lost Miss?”
As I turned my direction, I saw a tall butler with gray short hair; he was smiling.
“You must be one of the summoned magicians. My name is Lucius and i'm the head of the butlers of this mansion. I can bring you to the common room if you wish”
He was being very polite, as expected of a traditional servant. He also had an elegant and handsome posture. I couldn’t help but be polite towards him too

“Yes please, I wanted to meet with the other magicians but I got lost”
“Then follow me, Miss Grissla” Said the butler with a polite smile.
Wait… What? How he did know my name? I got a bad feeling… It was logical to think that they know a lot of things about us; after all it was them who sent us the invitation, but I felt like I had no intimacy about my personal information.
After walking a few minutes, we arrived at a large room that had a few sofas and armchairs. There were three people that wore long brown robes, they were talking. The butler did a reverence to me and left me when I crossed the door.
Three sets of eyes were staring at me as I approached them.
“Umm… hello!” I was a little bit intimidated by them and didn’t feel confident.
I recognized them; they were Milara, Lenny and Alex. They were looking at me with curiosity, but at noticing that I was a little shy they smiled.
“Greetings, purple witch!” Said Lenny with a grin.
“Whats up?” Milara asked with a cheerful voice.
“I just wanted to know what is happening here… Do any of you have any clue about it?”
Alex looked at me and spoke.
“What does it matter? We are wizards now! Its like a dream come true…”
Milara and I looked him with a serious face. Lenny just sighed.
“Yes, yes… wizards… to start with, we cannot even use magic. We have tried to cast the game spells, but they doesn’t work.” Said Lenny with a resigned voice.
So we can’t use magic… Great! We are stuck here in a random place with a body that isn’t even our own. Rage and frustration suddenly started appearing, it was almost not noticeable but Milara saw it.
“Grissla, please calm down. We are all in the same situation… Let's be all friends ok?”
It wasn't the same situation… it just simply wasn’t, but I wanted to be in good terms with them, so I nodded at her and just calmed myself.
The rest of the day we spent it by knowing each other better, so we talked a lot. I have learned that Alex was like a geek, but in magic themed things, and that Lenny was more intelligent that I expected. Milara was the person that keeped the group together with her cheerful attitude, and she was very empathic towards us.
Later in the day, Zatoshi and Tricky came, and the atmosphere changed a little, because their eccentric personalities. No surprise, but Zatoshi was probably the most arrogant person that I have met and Tricky the craziest, but they seemed nice people in the end.
Night came, and after eating we each said goodnight and headed to our rooms. We didn’t saw Tanya or Felix in all the day, but I didn’t care, because I had other problems to face and tomorrow the old man will teach us something new to us.
Checking the wardrobe, I searched for something to sleep but there were only street clothes, so I picked up a white t-shirt and some cloth shorts. Changing myself for the first time in this body took some time, because I was very self concious and had some fear, although I saw myself back in the game, but it was not the same.
When I saw the mirror I was shocked. It reflected an average sized girl, but beautiful; with fat in the right places but not being too chubby. She had long black hair and a charming face, with a little sharp features. It was hard to believe she was actually me.
But the detail it called me most attention was her belly. She had a black tattoo in there, with a strange shape: It consisted in a different pieces in a pattern, but all connected with each other by thin lines. I didn’t mind the tattoo, because I had the feeling it meant something... It couldn’t be a coincidence that it appeared suddenly when I was engulfed by the flames.
Soon after as I hit the mattress of the bed I became asleep. A lot of things had happened this day; I needed some quality sleep. Because of that I couldn’t recall well my dream, but it was about a little girl and some events. Not really much important.
