I was doing my part-time job in a certain coffee shop, saving up to buy the newest video game console.
"Ha?"
I could not help making a confused sound like a fool.
One second ago, I was sure I was standing on the wooden floor, pouring the coffee to my customer glass.
But right now I was pouring the black liquid into the grass. The plastic table, the wooden walls, the jazz music and the other people were gone.
What exactly was going on?
I stopped pouring the coffee onto the ground, looking around the wide grassy plain with a frown.
"Where the heck am I?"
I checked my phone and it didn't have any signal.
I pinched my own cheek, trying to check whether or not I was dreaming and it was hurt.
Once again, I shook my head in suspicion. Was this a prank?! No, there was no way they could do this sort of prank without me noticing it.
No, actually I did know what was happening. This was the famous 'I got transported into another world cliche', like the one I read on the lit-rpg novel.
But where was the floating screen, the shining magic circle or the greeting from the god?!
No, this sort of thing was not important. Or perhaps it was not completely unimportant, in short I just keep it aside for now.
The most important thing was, what kind of situation was I currently in.
Before me lay a large savanna without even any shade.
And I foolishly thought it was a good idea to keep walking, trying to see what I could find maybe something like a newbie village?
At first, I thought I could somehow manage but about three hours later, I still couldn't see anything around except savanna, savanna and more savanna. And for god sake, the sun was hot, hot enough to keep the coffee stayed warm in its pot and making my clothes drenched in a sweat.
.....
My situation was quite bad right?!
"Is there someone around?!" I shouted loudly, hoping that something would happen. "Hello?! Anyone?! Someone?! Is there anyone around!"
I did not have any expectation though. Forgot about a human was answering my question, even I couldn't hear or see an animal. The only sound that I heard was the sound of the wind scraping against the long grasses.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
I blankly stood, truthfully I didn't want to use this method, but it seemed like I didn't have any other choice.
I sat down, crossing my legs, closing my eyes and starting to concentrate.
God of this world! I pray to you right now, can you come and explain what is this, and what is the situation now.
....
About twenty minutes later, I hadn't received an answer, maybe my method was wrong.
This time, I knelt down, clasping my hands, closing my eyes and cried out with a loud voice. "God! Please give me the sign toward the newbie village!!"
....
Yep, what was I thinking about? there was no way that could work.
And all of that shouting making my throat sore, indeed I was bringing a coffeepot with me but I really wanted to drink a water rather than a bitter hot coffee.
But beggar shouldn't choose, right? Just as I was directing the pot mouth into my mouth, I heard a rustling sound coming from under the bushes behind me.
I turned my head, and I could see the grass wildly shook, but I couldn't see what make it shook, though whatever it was, it must be quite a small one.
As the rustling came closer, my heart was beating faster, it was heading towards me but I still couldn't see its shaped, maybe it was a slime? or a goblin?
No!!! It was a dozen of long and slender pinkish tentacles, bursting out of the grass, towering into the sky, squirming and wriggling around.
I didn't know what it was but I had seen enough hentai to know what would happen next!!
Without hesitation, I threw the coffeepot and sprinting away from the tentacles as far as I could.
For the whole five minutes, I was running, trying to keep my chastity intact as the tentacles were chasing after me, lucky enough it completely stopped chasing after me, a few centimetres before it could grab my leg, seemed like the tentacles already reached its maximum length.
But I was learning two things from this encounter.
First, the tentacles were long, like very long, long enough to keep stretching for ten minutes.
Second, it seemed the tentacles host couldn't move from its initial position, as the tentacles slowly moving away even though I was standing still, holding my knees, panting, couldn't bare myself to run for another second.
I gazed at the tentacles direction, and after making sure that it was completely gone I collapsed on the ground, looking up at the perfect forget-me-not blue sky.
.....
"This sucks!!! Hello?! where's my legendary sword?! where's my magic?! where's my status screen?!!!"
