Hello everyone, I decided to take away my previous fiction and go over with this new one.

Please enjoy your self

Traversing in the dense forest without ever giving out your position surely is tiring, with no sound allowed and suppressing your presence all the way. The former is actually quite easy if only I’m allowed to use magic freely, but my prey is sensitive to fluctuation in mana flow so, yeah, it’s a big no.

And actually I had no problem with the later. If only it lasts for an hour or so, but it’s been two hour straight and I’m beginning to get exhausted. When does this beast stop moving around?

Ah, it stopped! Looks like it found some food. This could be my only chance so I quickly move to a better position.

Now the beast is clearly within my line of sight two hundred meters away, this is the closest I could get without it noticing me. Of course, an ordinary arrow won’t reach, not to speak, to penetrate its thick hides from this distance, so I must reinforce mine with magic.

And that is where things become complicated, like I said before that beast is sensitive to changes in mana flow. It will notice me as soon as I use magic. So I had to time my magic activation exactly to when I released the arrow. Not sooner or later.

If either ever happens, I’m in deep trouble.

With the arrow now placed, I pull the string, take aim and start the incantation. The beast somehow is being wary and starts looking around, so I stop chanting the spell halfway.

Anyway, why is this monster called the One Hundred-Horned Bison? I can only see about thirteen... Ah, it’s back to grazing, perfect!

Unfortunately, right when I release my arrow, the monster takes a step forward. Only a little, but it was enough to jeopardize everything. I tried to correct the flight using the follow up magic but it still misses what I aim for, it’s vital.

RRHAAAAHHHRRRGGHHH!!!!

The monster’s painful growl envelops the entire forest, loud enough to make a grown up man faint on the spot if they stand too close. Some also said that it served as some kind of detection magic to find any threat. Looks like it’s true since it immediately ran toward me right after.

Still growling in pain, the monster now charging at my position. Its red eyes are fiercer than before.

I desperately shot another pair of arrows but it was parried by the horns. When I prepared the third, the beast was already too close.

“Ah, is this the end?” I’m contemplating.

I was already prepared for the journey to the next life when some thick fabric covering my entire vision and everything went dark after that. I’m not sure what happened afterward. Did I die? But my head felt painful. Dead people aren’t supposed to feel pain anymore, aren't they?

“Ouch”

I let out a small shriek.

Wait! Now I remember; I’m just an ordinary college student. So this whole thing can’t be real. Realistic as it was, surely in the end it was nothing but a dream.

The only one that’s real is the headache, what a bummer.

When I have a headache as painful as this the thing I usually do is to sit down, hug my knee, put my head in between and rub it. Somehow it always works in reducing the pain, so that’s what I’m going to do. Also since my eyes become so sensitive each time I have a headache, I refrain from opening them.

“Hmm?!”

When I pushed myself up I felt the bed under my hand so hard and cold? Did I somehow fall off the bed during my sleep? It could be the explanation, people tend to have a dream related to what their body experiences in reality. Like dreaming of falling from somewhere when one accidentally rolled off the bed. But I'm certain that the flooring on my apartment is made of wood so it shouldn’t feel like this.

Never mind that, right now it’s best to ignore everything and focus on the headache.

I wasn’t sure how much time has passed since I started rubbing my head, but the pain has partially subsided; I think it's time to check on what I felt on my hand before. But I’m still worried that my room was still too bright, so I slowly opened my eyes while still facing downward.

"What the hell?"

Those words just blurted out of my mouth.

Why? That's because I could see my little brother hanging freely between my legs. Never, in my consciousness, did I sleep in my birthday suit. Even when I’m alone in my very own room in the middle of the hottest day of summer I still, at least, wore my knickers.

Somehow I never felt comfortable being completely naked, the only exception is when I’m taking a bath.

"KYAAH… MY CLOTHES!! WHERE MY CLOTHES"

"Huh?"

Surprised by the girl's scream which came from my right side I automatically turned my head which immediately struck by a small pebble, right in the forehead.

“Ouch!!”

“DON’T YOU DARE LOOK THIS WAY!!”

Threatening words followed right after the attack, you completely messed up the sequence lady!

“Alright alright, I won’t!” I replied while covering my head with both my arms as another pebble struck me.

It’s only a flash, but I did see a woman desperately covering her body from my sight with nothing but her arms and legs.

Hold on there a second…

If I’m completely naked and there’s a girl near me that, from what I heard, lost her clothes, then could it be? But I had no recollection of bringing a girl home last night, and the only ones who ever come to my cramped apartment are my friends from college and I’m sure that they are all male.

Ah, that made me remember that I never had a girlfriend in my nineteen years of life. Sad isn’t it?

No wait, that’s not it, let's think about the current situation.

“Don’t scream, my ears hurts”

Another girl voices, this time coming from my left. What’s going on?

“DON’T YOU DARE LOOK AT HER EITHER!”

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Ah, I’m just about to, could it be that she could read minds? Anyhow, that answered my curiosity that the one on the left is in the same predicament as we are.

“I won’t! I won’t!” I replied, worried about more incoming missiles.

Now that I had time to think, I'm certain that I saw some trees and sky behind the girl earlier, or did my eyes just deceive me? I want to look again to confirm what I just saw, but since I’m banned from looking to either side, my only choice is to look straight ahead. So I lift my head to take a look. The view made me both speechless and confused…

And I do think my heart stops beating for a few moments...

Instead of my cramped apartment, all I see is the treeline of a forest combined with vast blue sky. In addition I found myself sitting on an unnaturally smooth large stone slab, almost like a man-made plaza. Where the hell is this? How did I get here in the first place?

Once again I tried to remember what I did last night and again; the only thing that came out clearly is that I’m sitting in front of my PC to play online games straight  after dinner. I spend hours, eight if I recall, and it almost dawns when I’m done with it. And then I crawl…

No! I had no memories of me crawling into the bed…

And I couldn’t even remember logging out from the game...

The last thing that I remember clearly is that I’m celebrating our victory by screaming through the voice channel and chat panel. And as we waited for the drop items there was this huge banner right above of what’s left of the final boss which says ‘CONGRATULATION, for being the first one to defeat Rigwarl Tronzerg’. And below it there’s another sentence; ‘For that you all will receive the ultimate reward’.

And that was the last thing I could remember.

Did I fall asleep on my computer desk right after that and am currently having a dream? Nah, that pebble earlier is quite a sting, it’s something like a proof that I’m not.

Also, everything is too realistic; I could feel the cold surface of the stone I’m sitting on, the breeze that grazed my skin and the smell of fresh air. As far as I know, there’s no virtual technology that can give you these realistic sensations, yet.

I need to stay calm and gather all the information I can get.

Then my gaze struck to a pirate-treasure-styled chest that lies right in front of me. No, I didn't stare at the naked male and female bodies beyond it. But I couldn’t help to notice that all of the five of us here seem to be lying down on each corner of a vague pentagon-shaped line which is gradually disappearing. And our feet facing the chest as the center, whatever kept within could be the answer.

I turn a deaf ear to death threats coming from the girl on my right as I crawl to the chest, the one on the left is surprisingly silent after her earlier complaint, I imagined that she was probably in shock. Seconds later I reached the chest and tried to open it slightly; it wasn’t locked so I carefully lifted it further to see if there's some trap, and it seems that there's none. But I still am not convinced so I give one hard push and move away in an instant.

The chest is now fully opened and no trap triggered, which is a relief. So I approached the chest once again and took a peek inside and found three piles of fabrics, one pile are cream colored tunic shirts, the other are brown pants and lastly, a few white knickers.

I was slightly disappointed with what I found...

NO! I mean I’m happy that I found something that I can wear, but disappointed that it didn’t provide me with some explanation about my situation here. Regardless, I gather a set of the clothes and throw it to the girl on my right without looking at her.

“Here, wear this”

The girl seemed confused for a moment before responding.

“Where are my clothes? I want my clothes! And my underwear too!”

“Look here, I had absolutely no idea of what happened. We are in the same situation as of now” I tried to talk as firmly as I could, hoping she would wear the clothes without any more complaints. “Just bear with those clothes for now! We’ll look for some clue after this”

Looks like it worked, the girl took the clothes without more words coming out of her mouth. I wrapped another set and another no-look-throw to the other girl on my left, "For you!" She took it without saying anything.

And because the other two haven't awakened yet, I skip them and put some clothes on myself.

The knicker doesn’t have any rubber band, instead it had string attached as replacement. If it all had the same size it would be too big for those ladies, I feel bad. But we had no other option. The brown trousers had a similar string which I fastened and tied on my waist. While the cream-colored tunic string in zigzag pattern in its placket.

These clothes aren’t exactly my style, and I highly doubt that the girls would like it, but it’s still much better than being in your birthday suit. Especially with strangers around and we had no idea of what’s going on.

With one problem handled, I want to get on my feet and check things out. But before that the girl on my right already came and stood right next to me, she’s wearing the clothes so it’s okay to look now.

GASP! My jaw dropped, she's so beautiful that I was lost for words! Her silverish pupils are breathtaking and the silverish blue hair and rather pale colored skin that look out of the world. Is such color possible?

And look at that chin and lips, if I had to make a comparison she’s like… an elf! Yes, that’s right, she’s like an elf in the manga! But her ears are not pointed, I’m slightly disappointed and it looks like it is shown on my face.

“Why do you look at me like that?” Her sharp gaze pierced my soul. Her lips are about to say something else but stopped before making any sound.

“Ah, I’m sorry” I apologized. “What was that?”

“Your name?”

She looks nervous for some reason.

“Oh, it’s William. Just call me Will”

“I’m Judy. Do you have more clothes in there? Give me another pair”

“Ah yes” I reached into the chest to pick another pair of clothes and handed it to her. “Here you go”

“Is there more?”

I peeks into the chest before replying, “Yes, there’s exactly another pair”

“Then make sure he wears it” She pointed to the sleeping man before turning his head to the girl on my left. “Hey, you there! Would you mind helping me with this?”

I turn my head by pure reflect, thank god she already finished dressing and… did my eyes deceive me? Another beauty? This time with blood red hair, light brown skin and, hold on, did she really have a pair of red eyes? Is that contact lenses? Judy silver eyes too? I knew that such lenses were sold but this is the first time I see with my one eyes someone actually wearing it outside comic con.

The red hair nods in silence towards the invitation and walks past me to reach the still sleeping girl. Ups, I shouldn’t stare like that, I had other things to do, so I picked up the last pair of clothes and approached the sleeping male.

The man in question is still dreaming peacefully and, oh my, take a look at all those muscles, he must train regularly to have such a build. No, I don’t swing that way by the way, I just admired one’s hard work. It must be through painstaking effort to have those toned muscles.

And judging by the things now, it’s practically impossible for me to put on some clothes on an unconscious man that size. I’m just your regular college student that plays online games during the free time that had and neglects his physical exercise from time to time. I do have some training equipment, but it is all gathering dust somewhere in the corner of my apartment.

In addition I don’t feel like touching a naked man, so in the end I just throw the clothes over his most important part to keep it out of sight, he will wear it on his own when he wakes up. Yeah, that should be it.

“Gee, thanks man,” the naked man suddenly spoke as the clothes landed.

“You! You’re awake? Since when?”

“Before any of you actually, but I thought that situation is a bit awkward and my head is a bit dizzy so I decided to just lay down”

“Good decision,” I remembered the pebbles.

“Thanks”

He grabbed the clothes and began to wear them. While I turned my face to the trees trying to figure things out, it’s awfully quiet for a forest. Only the sound of the vegetation rustling can be heard. Did our presence here scare the animals? As far as I know, the animal would only be alarmed in the beginning and would return to their activity if we didn’t do anything threatening after a while.

By that moment the macho man already finished with the clothes and stood up.

“Did you notice something wrong?” He asked.

“Everything felt wrong, hold on, have we ever met before? Your voice sounds familiar and I should remember someone like you”

I didn’t lie, his appearance is very noticeable and I wouldn’t have forgotten someone like him even if I only met once. But somehow only the voice that sounds familiar in my ear.

“Yeah I know what you meant, I heard your voice before from somewhere” He replied while looking around. “Though I don’t recognize your face.”

Yep, that's another mystery we had to solve alright. And where is this place? I couldn't see anything else beside the trees that surrounded us.

“Anyway, I want to ask a ridiculous question; is that really your body?” The ripped man asked.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m asking because this is not mine, not this forearms or biceps or this pecs. I do have a six pack abs by the way, but all of my tattoos are missing” he pointed to both his arms.

Now that he said that I immediately turned my attention to my own body and... oh god he’s right! I didn’t notice it before, but I’m certain that I have never done enough workout in my entire life to make my muscles develop like this. Not as much as he is, but still.... Where’s my skinny, I mean, slim body?

“Are we dead and awakened in heaven right now?” I asked the man.

“Not sure, but I heard from somewhere that the feeling of shame should be removed from us if we really in heaven”

Now that he said something like that, I still have the feeling of shame and so did the silver-haired girl. So that means…

“WELCOME TO HEAVEN!”
