Chapter 1: Starting With Her Head In The Clouds

"Urg... my head... getting flash banged by my own computer definitely not one of my worst moments, though," Annie murmured as she rested one of her arms over her eyes. Annie lowered her arm but recovered her eyes as the rays of the sun hit her face.

"The sun's too bright-" Annie uttered groggily. Annie paused mid-sentence as she felt the warmth of the sun bask on her before she swung up to a sitting position. Annie looked at her surroundings or more accurately, the lack of surroundings of the cloudly sky she found herself in.

"Must've been knocked out from that flashbang....". Annie looked at the cloudy platform she sat upon and slightly squeezed it to feel its snow-like texture. Annie sighed and plucked a piece off of the cloud before placing it against her face.

"As if, if this were my dream there'd be a ton of characters like Onixuvia... heheh," Annie remarked cheekily as she faintly blushed and giggled. Annie rubbed her legs as she felt a cold breeze blow past them, making them shiver. Annie swiftly slinked her legs towards her body before burying them in her oversized t-shirt.

"Which means the only explanation for me being outside my room is that... that message isekaied me," Annie uttered as she placed her chin on the back of her hands. Annie took one extra glance at her surroundings before slinking her head into her t-shirt like a turtle.

"Looks like I won't meet the deadline now...," Annie mumbled as a light object booped her on the head. Annie slowly raised her head from her shirt and glared at the object as it landed on the cloudy terrain. The object was a hand-sized reflective pink swish roll-looking handbag with a single long white fur hangle and bold white swirls on each of its circular sides. Annie glanced upwards for any signs of the handbag's origins, but all she managed to do was briefly blind herself when she looked at the cloud-covered sun.

"Ow...," Annie uttered as she rubbed her eyes. After regaining her vision, Annie picked the handbag up and heard the jostling of objects within the handbag.

"Odd... this looks just like the one my character I use for beta testing has," Annie muttered mentally as she eyed the handbag; she shrugged before popping it open and taking a peek inside. Inside the handbag sat six two cm thick solid gold playing cards, an azure-coloured three by three cm crystal square, pale golden-coloured shorts and panty, and a small figurine of a kid elf [the figurine has long spikey pale purple hair, glowing pale cyan eyes, slightly reflective tanned-looking skin, pointy ears, ball bearing joints, and a small hole in each of its hands], and small azure-coloured crystal marbles.

"What an odd starter kit," Annie mentioned as she took the figurine out of her handbag. Annie raised the figurine's hand and peered through the hole in it.

"I wonder.". Annie said as she poked a pinky finger through the figurine's hand hole. Annie reached into her handbag and took out the two azure-coloured marbles. Annie inserted the crystal marbles into the figurine's hand-hole sockets. The figurine abruptly jolted, making Annie flinch slightly as a purple maid outfit and a purple headband with small goofy horns suddenly appeared on the figurine. The figurine sat up in Annie's hand with a deadpan expression.

"System on Unit Kai-TI operational," the figurine stated coldly as it turned to Annie.

"Greetings, otherworlder, this unit takes it you are the boundwraith who awakened this unit?" Kai-TI asked with a cold tone.

"I guess, yeah?" Annie uttered. Kai-TI bowed her head and hummed.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"Very well, then this unit acknowledges Lady Swishroll as their master.". Annie jolted her head slightly back at being called a swish roll.

"Swish roll?". Kai-TI mindlessly stared at Annie before the two tilted their heads to the side.

"Is that not your name, master?".

"Well... technically... but wait a sec, how did you know that anyway; there's no way you could've guessed it," Annie said sulkily as she poked Kai-TI's cheeks.

"Unit read master's status; master can see it by thinking of it appearing," Kai-TI explained. Annie nodded before she pictured an RPG status screen. A floating holographic rose-pink RPG screen appeared before Annie, and after taking a single look at her stats Annie pouted.

"Wow... I guess my name is the name I use for my characters now, and talk about trash stats. How can I even have no HP anyway?" Swishroll whined.

"That's because of an output error, given you haven't used a Hystal yet, Master.".

"And I get one of those by?".

"It's the azure crystal square in your possession, Master," Kai-TI stated as she pointed to Swishroll's handbag.

"Oh, that thing.". Swishroll raised an eyebrow as Kai-TI pointed straight at her face.

"Something on my face?". Kai-TI shook her head as a strong gust of wind blew past the two kicking up their hair.

"Wyvern's here.". Swishroll widened her eyes as a low snarl reverbed behind her.

"Huh?". Swishroll swung her head back before her face went even paler as she layed her eyes upon the towering wyvern. The wyvern loomed over Swishroll before it turned its nose at her and huffed at her.

"He said he hates undignified people, Master.".

"Oh...," Swishroll murmured as she lowered her head. Swishroll shot her eyes open and spun around to face the wyvern.

"What do you mean undignified!".

"He's referring to you having the Comando title, Master," Kai-TI explained. Swishroll went to speak but didn't and just puffed up her cheeks before a floating menu screen appeared.
