Huuuu… , Another late night shifts.. It's been many days since I'd been home. I really missed laying on my couch, drink my thoughts away, and play with Chichi.. These workload keeps coming in , and I don't know if I can finish this tonight.
" Miss Laurel" my manager called out to me.
"Want more coffee? sorry that you have to be here past work hours all the time" she said, as her eyes droops away slowly almost to the floor.
"It's okay ma'am, another cup of coffee will sure to save us tonight!" I said enthusiastically as if my eye bags wasn't swelling like a bean bag enough.
"Thank you Laurel" she smiled. " We're almost finished with the project, if this comes out well, I'll be sure to put in good words for you." She said, as she walked off out the office to get us more coffee.
It's quiet, here in this office with empty seats, only the light from my computer and the blue moon brightens this room. A few hours ago, the streets were bright and loud, other buildings were lit, and noisy traffics can be heard all around the building , now I hear and see nothing.
I don't hate this. It's peaceful but… I never thought that I'd spend my life like this, in an office.. I don't have plans anymore, I'm not saying I don't have any will to live, I'm just saying that the cage that I have built around me, I've lost the key. And I have no strength to find the way out… well whatever let's finish this and I'll fly straight home to bed hehehe..
As I was getting ready, I stretched my arm out and- "!!! Argghh!!" I grumbled and screech in pain, at that moment, I feel like there's a thousand needles piercing my head, my vision starts to darkening , I can hear a voice of someone… wh-what is she saying… I-I'm slowly losing control over my body…
"MISS KANNAVIS!!!" I snapped back to my senses as I heard someone shouting that name. Huh. Where am I? As I was looking around, this place looks different… the interior designs of the place I'm in is like a palace in the Victorian age!! So Majestic!! The ceiling were high, there's a huge chandelier hanging down from there. There were painitings, a fire place, two huge arch windows letting the sun brighten the room and the two doors facing the windows on the opposite sides of the room… So Elegant!!! As I was looking at the people around me, all of them are in a maid clothing, this must really be a fantasy land isn't it?!… but their expressions.. they looked panicked.. why are they staring at me…
"Mhm.." I heard a soft groan from underneath me, I took a look and there's a girl who was also in a maid dress laying on the floor, one of her hand was holding her upper body up, another placing on her head, this girl, she looks young, her white hair was long , a bit wavy on the tip end, her bang was styled sideways not too much to cover her violet eyes , her skin is pale but glowing, her lip shaped like a heart with a peach- colored.

She is like a perfect doll infront of me, I couldn't take my eyes away from her … Until there's blood, starting to flow out of the place her hand was covering … Wait a minute.
I took my eyes off her and look over me, I was wearing a strange yellow dress, a trace of blood splattered on my cloth, and a vintage tea kettle in my hand. Ah..
"Miss Kannavis…" the maid spoke softly toward me as if pleading for me to calm down and try not to hurt anyone anymore.
I was confused as to what is happening around me, and why did that name sound so familiar to me. I tried to recall what I was doing, that I was in my office, working on the game project with my manager- wait, this settings… this person in front of me… THIS IS DEFINITELY-
Suddenly there's footstep rushing through the door, swinging it open-" KANNA!!!" A tall guy walked in, his outfit was like a noble man, maybe in his early twenties with a dark blue, almost tinted black flat cut hair, his eyes almost gold like pupil with a hooded-gaze staring directly at me with a disgusted look. As fast as he came in, his gaze changed and went to the girl on the floor, his expression also became soften, he hurried to her side brushing me off, " Irene… are you alright?" He said, then gazed back at me furiously " SERIOUSLY KANNAVIS CORVUS, THat ALTITUDES OF YOurs IS A DISGRACE to oUR FAMILY!!! I Can'T sTand By and WaTch You.. Wha- WHere Are you Going?!" Yeah I can't stand by to hear this pretty guy yapping whatever at my face.
I rushed out the door, running through this huge hallway, such intricate designs only to be seen in the early days in the west. There were people cosplaying like a butler and maids through the way I've passed, they all looked at me with a confused but also nervous expressions, no one tried to stop me. My expression at that moment wasn't different from theirs, I have no idea of what was going, where and why am I here, I have a bit of an idea what all of this is, but to bring myself to this conclusion would be too insane.
I ran and met with a hall with 2 sets of stairs spiral up, I rushed up to one of them, running down to the end of the hall, and shut myself in on the room. " huuu… I cannot believe this…" I sighed. The room I was in had a queen sized bed with a huge window and a balcony to the sides. The dressing and makeup area was on the other side and- A mirror.
I contemplated for a moment, taking deep breath once more, slowly walks up to the mirror and stared at it.
In the mirror, I saw a girl with an appearance similar of the guy earlier , with a dark blue bob haircut , small stature, sharp almond shaped eyes with golden iris staring back at me. Huhhh.. as I was placing my hand feeling my face, the girl in the mirror did the same… This Girl iN tHE MirRor Is ME!!!
"Kannavis Corvus.. they called me…" Tears start to welled up my eyes " Did I become a character in a game?"
