If you know who Rena is from, then good for you, otherwise. You are just going to have to either imagine, or search for her online. Also, this is told from the perspective that she is GA.

“Why did this happen?"

Now you may be wondering why I'm saying this. Well, here's the short and long of it. My name is Rena, and I used to live in a world full of monsters and magic. Now, I'm in a world full of technology and futuristic stuff. Not much about myself changed when I came into this world, except for the fact that I'm just a toddler! At least I brought my talent and sense of power with me. Oh right. I forgot to mention this. I'm an elf in a world where no others physically exist.

----------------------------------------

I always had a feeling that my life was going to turn upside-down in some way, I just didn’t know this is how it would happen. Currently, I am sitting in what looks like a crib and two people are looking at me with eyes of love and curiosity. They are probably my parents here.

“... know. …. can ... Rena. … Starfield.” (???1)

“.... great darling…. those ears? …. life … troubles … ears … look …-like.” (???2)

While I couldn’t understand everything they were saying, I got a rough guess. It seems that either I’m called Rena here too, or the female here is called Rena. Also, since it seems that my ears are, you know, elf ears, I might have a troubling life. Probably the first thing I noticed about being a kid again is that I seem to sleep a lot. Maybe it will get better later, but for now, I’ll just embrace it and enjoy the luxury of being lazy.

…

It’s been two years since I came to this world. I’m able to walk around finally. I also learned how to summon all of my stuff from my old world. However, it doesn’t fit me since my body is much smaller than what my equipment requires. In other news, the food here is amazing! Unless if my parents were the ones who made it, I want to know who made this since it tastes SO GOOD! Oh wait. It’s cake…. T-T. I don’t want to get fat…

Also, I figured out that my dad’s name is John and my mom’s name is Marie. I like to call them mom and dad though.

…

Finally getting into the main story, summer is almost ending here and I will be going to my first day of kindergarten. Ironically enough, my birthday is the day before most schools get off summer break. Also, something I found odd is that whenever one of my parents’ friends came over to visit and see me for the first time, most of the time the first thing they do is touch my ears. I find it odd and annoying, but they find it unique and interesting. They only became more interested when I flicked my ears trying to get them out of a person’s grip.

“Hey mom, why do people always grab my ears the first time they see me?” (Rena)

“Well sweetie, it’s probably because your ears remind them of their younger days when they used to think about what they would do if they found a real life fantasy creature. Your physical characteristics are that of an elf in fantasy books, so one thing leads to another.” (Mom/Marie)

Well, mom… they aren’t wrong. Also, since I can talk normally with my parents since I already figured out their unique language called “English”, we can have normal conversations now.

“Alright sweetie, where do you want to go for your birthday? You’ll be starting school soon so I want you to have a great birthday before starting school.” (Mom/Marie)

“Let’s get cake!” (Rena)

“...*sigh*. Alright Rena, just don’t keep this up when you get older, yeah?” (Mom/Marie)

“Yeeeess moooom!” (Rena)

I never broke my habit…

After a few more days, school came along. It seems that I’ll be entering school a day later than everyone else, so I am going to have to go through that embarrassing class introduction. Also, my teacher’s name is Mrs. Heather.

“Okay class, we are going to have a new student join us in class from now on, so welcome her with smiling faces, okay? (Mrs. Heather)

“Okay!” (Class)

After Mrs. Heather waved me in for the a-ok sign, I timidly walked into the room, as to make my own impression to see how the class would react.

“Oooo… pretty..” (???)

They seem like an interesting group of kids, I guess I shouldn’t mention the fact that I’m two years older than them, you know, because Elves age for a longer time than normal people. Another thing that I forgot to mention, and hopefully the last, is that the average lifespan of the people here is around 97 while an elf’s is around 997, but an elf’s body still physically ages the same way as a normal body until it reaches its prime, then it slows down exponentially. The only physical difference after that is maybe 500-700 years later when the first signs of old age come to be. If you haven’t figured it out yet, the kids in my class average their ages from 4-5 years old… I’m 7.

“Nice to meet you all. My name is Rena.” (Rena)

Nothing really happened during kindergarten. It was the most basic of the basic so I just slept every second of the way, but if I wasn’t sleeping, I was quietly training my nature force so that it could be stronger when I started to use it for other reasons. This actually happened for all of elementary school except for 5th grade. That was when there came a test that required me to actually think somewhat without the calculator. It seems I was rendered a genius but I really didn’t like that name. As for the training, it was actually bearing fruit! In my old world, I could only stack up 5 nature force essences at a time, but I doubled it and can now hold 10 stacks! Since nothing else interesting happened, I decided to stop training my nature force and instead trained my physical body back to its usual feeling of max level. I did this training on my free time at home.

Middle school came…

Middle school came and I started paying a lot more attention. Each class required a lot more attentiveness than the classes in Elementary school. This time outside P.E. was also incorporated so I got to go running quite a bit, and as I expected, I didn’t want to go all out since that would be too freaky to see how I had unlimited endurance and a rather fast running speed. There was even archery for us to do at one point, which I nailed the bullseye everytime, of course. That got me the nickname: “Rena the Nimble Archer”. I was also a lot more social so I made some friends along the way. Their names are: Charlie, Harold, Lexi, and Carman. Speak of the devil, here comes Harold now.

“Hey Rena!” (Harold)

“Hi Harold. You don’t have to yell so loud that the whole school can hear.” (Rena)

“Ehehe. Well, everyone else came too. We wanted to ask you something.” (Harold)

Everyone came over and we started to talk about all sorts of stuff, like current events or favorite items.

“So, what is the question that you guys wanted to ask me?” (Rena)

“Oh right. So, which high school are you counting on going to?” (Carman)

“Unexpected… Well, to be honest, I don’t know.” (Rena)

“Well, I just hope that we all go to the same school!” (Lexi)

The day passed and when I got home, both of my parents were sitting on the couch waiting for me.

“Welcome back, Rena.” (Dad/John)

“Hey dad, hey mom. Hey, why are you guys on the couch?” (Rena)

“Well, we’ve got something to talk to you about. We’ve got some good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?” (Dad/John)

“...good.” (Rena)

“Well, the good news is that both me and your mother have both gotten a very important promotion.” (Dad/John)

“..! Good for you guys! Wait, but what’s the bad news?” (Rena)

“Well, the bad news is the conditions we’ll be living in. You see, I’ll be living in Alaska while your father will be in Hawaii, so you have a choice. You can live with one of us, or live by yourself, but if you choose to live by yourself, you won’t be living in this state. In any of the choices, you are going to have to say goodbye to this state until you can make enough money to come back.” (Mom/Marie)

This shocked me. The sudden change which leaves me to be all alone without anyone no matter which choice I go with. This will probably change my life in many ways depending on what choice I go with… I don’t want to hurt either of their feelings by choosing one of them, soooo…

“I’ll go with the ‘live alone’ choice. Final answer.” (Rena)

Mom and dad sat there for a moment, contemplating why I answered so quickly. After they asked why I chose to live alone, I told them my reasoning from before, and they quickly understood. Afterwards, I could have sworn that I heard them whispering to each other things like, “We raised her well.”

The next day came, and as I was going to school, I thought about how this would work out. As I enter the classroom, I see my friends talking to each other, but when one of them sees me, they called me to come over. I was probably smiling in a weird way since the first question that was asked was, “Hey Rena. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing really. My parents got a good promotion recently, so I guess that’s something.” (Rena)

“Really?! Great for them. But wait, why did you look so gloomy?” (Lexi)

“That’s just the problem. Since they got a promotion, they’re going to have to move away, and since we live in Georgia, I doubt we’ll be meeting each other again. Today is the last day I’ll be at this school…” (Rena)

All four of them were stunned. Their good friend was suddenly leaving them? They didn’t want that, so they tried to convince Rena to stay here rather than go away with her parents, but lead to no prevail. So instead, they decided to live today out to the fullest. The day seemed to zoom by when talking to Rena about all sorts of stuff. Harold even asked about her ears, which made her a bit embarrassed. As the day got closer to ending, the friends started to say their goodbyes one by one, until it was Rena by herself. She decided to go home and pack up all of the things she needed.

The next day came.

Rena was downstairs eating breakfast with her parents, but it was a rather quiet environment. No one was talking, but you could still feel the pressure inside the room. After everyone finished eating, they packed their respective car, except for Rena. She was told that someone would come and get her to bring her to the airport, but she didn’t care for waiting, so as soon as her parents left with a goodbye full of love, she took all of her items, put them in her inventory (Remember? World traveler?), and ran at top speed to the airport. Don’t forget that Rena’s top running speed is faster than a supercar, so she reached the airport in no time. After reaching her destination, she put on a hood that covered her ears so that she wouldn’t attract too much attention. The overall time she spent at the airport was about thirty minutes, since there was a bit of trouble midway, but that was it. So, Rena set out to live another life in the good state of Arizona.

………..

Since Rena was normally accustomed to living in the forest, she didn’t have to worry about not having a home when she got there. The only thing she had to worry about was wonder how she was going to get enough money to startup school again.

“Looks like the rest of my time will be another new one… Ironic…” (Rena)
