So I chose to die... again and again... until I'm reborn as a Lizardman.
FINALLY.
While I still don't really understand how things can work, I THINK as a LizardMAN I might be able to do something... like, learning human languages!
I mean, surely this would be easier than being a bee, a slime, a black horse, a rat, a chicken... whatever. THOSE, ok? THOSE. Those that couldn't even pronounce "a" properly without even making other weird sounds! I can't even "Ah" when I'm in bed!
Dammit.
So yeah. As a Lizardman. My rate of learning different languages should be MUCH easier now!
I leveled up myself - as usual - and continued forward to gain some friends to help me out with my journey. Some seemed surprised about my plans, but some just seemed to look forward to it.
So, since I was a human born in this world, I've already learned all kinds of human languages... now it's the matter of re-learning how to speak using a lizard's vocal cord. It took me like a few days to learn the human language - GREAT! - and now I can finally converse with one... though I haven't really try it out yet.
Humans aside, speaking "monster" is another thing that I need to learn. After using "Stealth" to get close to a Goblin settlement, I found out that they speak in the way that's close to Orcs and Humans... so it increased my chance to learn the language. The longer I listen to them, the easier I learn. So... in between my daily survival jobs and needs and training myself 12 hours a day, I came to hide close to the Goblin's settlement and learn their language.
Viola!
[ Goblin Speech Learned! ]
That took me like, a few weeks? And now, I proposed an idea to my chieftain to open trade with the Goblins. From my stalki- I mean, scouting experiences, I realized that they're actually pretty good with the forest, while the Lizardman tribe does better in the sea. So, if we managed to trade whatever we gathered from different places, perhaps we can establish a better economy and hopefully making an alliance in the future? If we can help each other to survive, there might be a better chance for me to make peace with more settlements.
I mean, we don't really NEED to kill each others to survive, right?
But will the other party accept my idea? That's the thing where everyone's questioning.
Nevertheless, since I'm the only one who learned Goblin, I'm entrusted to negotiate with them - which I would have already done if I do not require permissions.
So, I came to the Goblin settlement and WOAH THEY NEARLY KILLED ME! Thanks to my constant dodging when it comes to moles- I mean, examining fellow females in my tribe, those arrows meant nothing to me.
But eh, arrows... Last time when I was a human, Goblins were weaklings and they're stupid. They have low intelligence and they only know how to fight with lowly weapons - without formations. Through my constant observations, however, there's a strong leader with high intelligence here. Otherwise, the Goblins wouldn't know how to create bows and arrows, learn how to ambush people with arrows, or making loads of traps outside their, uh, cave???
"WAIT! I'M HERE TO NEGOTIATE!!!"
That clearly caused confusions between the Goblins. They couldn't comprehend how a Lizardman could speak their language. After a few moments, they sent out a team of heavily equipped strong Hobgoblins.
"You. Lizard. The leader calls."
"Come alone."
Eh. Alone.
"C-Couldn't I bring at least ONE guard with me? I mean, it's obvious you guys can just kill me off inside when things gone bad and probably nobody will know so... if the negotiation takes a very long time, I don't want them to went on a rampage simply because they don't know how to speak with you guys... alright?"
The Hobgoblins looked at each other, then back at their base. Someone gave an ok from the inside, and they nodded.
"You can bring two."
"Alright!" I grinned at them, and picked my most trusted comrades with me. So I walked in, and...
Wow. It's like a dream.
The leader is a female hobgoblin. Not to say that she's very attractive, but she's definitely a beauty in my eyes. It's funny how the discussion happened from open trade between our settlements to, uh, clearing the room off except for the both of us to have some very, very, private discussions.
Cough.
Anyway, she accepted our tribe's request to open trade with her... and also some other things that we privately agreed upon. So from today onwards, the relationship between the Goblins and the Lizardman is strong and soon we started an alliance. We didn't really "conquer" the rest of the forest... rather, we actively went searching for more possible partners.
And people started to question what are the "partners" that we're looking for. Well, not ONLY trade partners, of course!
Aaand after like a year and more, the whole forest became a community. Soon, it evolved into a thriving town of monsters where humans were welcomed as long as they do not cause any troubles to the people in the forest. Rules were set and posts were made. Lovely partners everywhere and things were going fine...
Until this one day where a human came to us and offered to open trade with us as well. Well, obviously we accepted... but damn, the prices were high and the items ain't all that great. We argued with the humans but obviously they were looking down at us monsters. When we broke off the agreement later, the humans came to sue us for breaking off the agreement. Obviously they couldn't do anything about us monsters, so...
Bad rumors started and suddenly a group of adventurers took on the mission to destroy the city of monsters. Why would they do that??? They're allowed to use the city's facilities and yet they just threw that privilege away! Some of the humans tried to negotiate with them too... but it seemed like the pay is too good to pass this chance up.
Eh.
What the fuck?
Anyway, to defend ourselves, obviously we tried our best to defeat the adventurers without killing them... but even that wouldn't help the situation. After numerous mission failures, deeming us as a threat, the humans started to send in armies to destroy us.
What the heck-
Dude. We didn't do wrong! What makes you want to destroy us?! Is living in peace and harmony that hard?! Moreover, you were the ones that do us wrong! All we did were only for self-defense! This is unfair. This is injustice! Why would you take up missions like that and destroy the monsters without even listening to their plead?
...
Come to think about it, when I was a human, I was constantly taking up missions because, well, I can. I have the capabilities, and the pay was good. I never once questioned the motive behind the missions. I just... took on them. Racking up on experiences, building up reputations, gaining more comrades to take on higher ranked missions so that I can have more fame and fortune...
Everything's... like a game.
But no. This is CLEARLY not just a game!
I...
I finally realized it...
I truly brought calamity when I was a human. I didn't cared about the consequences. I was foolish and selfish, even though I thought what I did were for the fellow humans and cared nothing for the monsters - because I didn't even treat them as a living being. I treat them merely as golds and experiences; missions and reputations.
Damn.
Damn it all...
= = = = = = = = = =
And then I opened my eyes again, remembering the last scene that happened in front of me - houses were destroyed and people were killed. The humans were coldblooded killers, thinking only about the pays rather than the lives that they killed. One more dead monster equals to one more gold and/or experience - bringing them closer to leveling up and learning new skills. No matter if they're truly evil or innocent - they just killed them all because they were all foods for their greed.
Sigh.
All my partners... I hope that they survive. I mean, if I'm the foolish one who started everything, I'm the one that should die in the first place. I guess I'm too naive to think that we can successfully have peace and harmony with everyone including the humans, whom only see us as nothing but lowly monsters.
Golds and experiences.
"Do you see the truth now?"
Yes, my dear god. I have.
"Do you regret your past actions?"
Yes. Yes I do. I have destroyed families and happiness. I didn't even cared about how they would feel. I took their child and lured them out, to kill them off and then killed the child - neglecting their plead for their child's safety as they would exchange their lives for me.
I couldn't understand them.
I'm... a devil.
A true monster.
"Good," The white robed figure stood in front of me. I couldn't see the face of his clearly, but I do see the smile on his face. "Now, do you know what do I mean by balance in the world?"
...kind of? I mean, all I learned from being a Lizardman were my ignorant actions causing destructions... but I can't see how to balance things up.
"Hmph, of course it's not that easy to learn how to balance the world. What do you think you are, a god?" Ah, it's Synchia. She didn't seemed to be as furious as I first seen her. "Well, at least you learned your lesson. There's no need to be extremely angry this time."
So... I'm doing better now? I'm closer to the path of balance?
"I guess it would be... and to help you out, your past experiences and blessings from various gods will keep on following you in this reincarnation."
Eh. Speaking of blessings... I REALLY racked up a lot of them during my time as a Lizardman, eh?
"UGH! Speaking of those disgusting actions you did... How dare you have partners from all over the places?! Y-You caused weird hybrids to be born a-a-and you're a female and yet y-you just-! I-I-I couldn't believe you j-just- UGH!" Ara. Dear god Synchia's all red right now. Have you been watching? "O-Of course I have! I have to monitor your actions as a creation of mine and so that you wouldn't go around and destroy stuffs again and finally understand your actions but T-THIS-" Well, it's hot right? "S-SHUT UP!!!"
"Cough. I think we should continue on with her journey of balancing the world now..." Alaraid spoke, preparing something...?
"Oh dear, I wonder what kind of sexy things that she will do now. Mmhmm~ <3" Eh, there's another god around here??? I didn't saw her before?
"It's very intriguing seeing all sorts of creatures managed to find out new ways to pleasure each other. I have never thought of them..." And yet another god? He's pushing his glasses???
"WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO INTERESTED IN HER FUCKING LIFE?!" Yeah! My "fucking" life! "S-SHUT UP YOU INSOLENT- UUUUUUUGHHH!!!" Ara, red again~ How cute~ <3 "FUCK YOU!" Ooohhh~ Is that an invitation? "D-DAMMIT!!!"
Ah. Sho cute. <3 I don't mind bearing her loud screams everyday... if you get what I mean.
"NO I DON'T AND I DON'T WANT TO GODDAMMIT SHIT JUST GO DOWN AND REINCARNATE ALREADY!!!"
Aaaaaaalright~ As you wish~ I'll find more ways to make you proud, ok?
"Alright, alright, it's time," Alaraid sighed and patted on me - I have a head? "Good luck young one. We'll watch over you from here...
...though... you might find yourself loads of challenges. I guess you could handle them smoothly."
Eh?
Ehhh???
EHHH---?!

Re:Monstars ~ Prologue 01: I Am Reborn... and Reborn and Reborn and-
So. I am reborn.
But no, my name is NOT reborn.
That's obviously the name of a certain- whoops. I nearly spoil it out.
Anyway, I'm reborn into a... tiger cub. I guess. Well at least I can see that my parents are both Hakukos - white tiger-men - and they're a strong bunch of monsters. Though, I never once seen a civilized version of them. I've only heard tales of them making villages and living the nomad lives so... this is my first time seeing and also experiencing a nomad, Hakuko, lifestyle.
It's interesting - seeing how my tiger-dad was to happy to see me started to walk, and taught me how to fight, while my mom be like "DADDY SHE'S ONLY 1 MONTH OLD!" I mean yeah seriously I just LEARNED how to walk and you wanted me to kick the moon out from the river already. Sigh.
But yeah. Not entirely... monstrous, I guess.
I felt the warmth and love coming from my tiger-parents, and I wanted to do them proud.
After all, being reincarnated as a Hakuko means you gotta live the Hakuko style right?
Including hunting animals (small monsters) for food and occasionally humans for food, too.
So yeah.
Every day, I practiced the Hakuko fighting style. Every day, I hunted in the Hakuko style. But no, that's obviously not enough. I have experiences! I know a better way to deal with this. So I started to win the favors of everyone and managed to gain an army.
If they don't... eh, I'll have my ways. HEH.
So I taught them how to fight and blahblahblah weaknesses of humans and monsters and shits... viola! A huge mercenary army, ready for me to command over them! Those that defy me? HEH. OFF YOU GO~
Then, after like 10 years I kind of conquered the mountain and became the king of the mountain. Eh, once a hero forever a hero. Now, I'm the hero to the Hakukos. I'm goddamned successful! Of course, I'm not as great as Miarah Charrin but as a Hakuko? Eh! I'm like the king of the monster, or something! Pinnacle of the strongest! I could say I understand the monster's side of the story already... right?
That should earn me the pass of not-reincarnating again, right?
= = = = = =
"YOU IDIOT!!!"
Ah. I'm being scolded. I'm dead from the fight against the legendary enemy of the Hakuko - The Silver Oni - and once again I'm here in this blank room.
"THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT THE MONSTERS!!! YOU DO NOT JUST BEAT UP EVERYONE AND/OR EAT THEM ALL IF THEY WERE TO DEFY YOU!"
But I made my parents proud! They were so happy during the coronation ceremon-
"IDIOT! THAT'S NOT HOW IT SHOULD- UUUUUUUUUURGHHH!!!"
"Calm down Synchia..."
"YOU. YOU TAKE CARE OF THIS!"
Ah. Again she poofed away. I have once again caused her anger and she can't even do anything towards me. Synchia, the god that governs over... monsters? I think? Couldn't do anything to me while I'm a Hakuko because I receive a certain blessings from her as well. Ehhh... sad?
"Sigh. Enough wasting time. Let's move on to your next life."
Eh fi-IIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA------
= = = = = =
So now... I'm a Horned Rabbit! A... weakling, I guess. If I were to remember, Horned Rabbits are like some sort of low-leveled monster that you couldn't even NOT defeat... like, all adventurers MUST know how to defeat this.
Eh.
So... what's my role here? Experiencing the life as a weakling?
Alright. Tactics time. Previously I ruled over everyone and killed everyone that defies me and... whatever, and became a hero. So... probably this time I'll just gonna be a nobody - do not kill and do not be killed?
SOUNDS GREAT!
LET'S DO THIS!
"La la la la la~~~"
I have been living my days wandering around the woods and escaping from all sorts of dangers... to the extent of learning "MAX Intuition" and escaping everything bad. Good, good! I'm very good! I can do this! I can do the "do not kill and do not be killed" thing!
But... then... because of intuition, too, I somewhat bumped into some sort of legendary fruit or something. I ate it, and POOF!
I evolved into a Diamond Horned Volcrabbit.
I'm now having a body made of lava, and one large, sharp, diamond horn on top of my head. I gained the mass of a tree, and constantly terrorizing every single monsters/weaklings around me.Well, it's not that I can help it since my whole body is covered in volcano... I just... kinda burned off everything. Even dragons consider twice before they tried to get close to me... and when they do...
Eh.
My horn's too stronk.
Ah, fuck.
I think I fucked up.
Like, I wanted to FUCK them up, the RIGHT way, but...
UGH.
Can I find someone that could bear my drill without succumb to its strength so easily? I mean, it's not easy to gain a horn on your head! With this I'm supposed to be able to pierce through all sorts of heavens! But no, I pierced too far and all heavens were destroyed in that instant.
Ugh.
My stupid intuition.
Now I burnt down mountains and forests and villages and everywhere I've been and now I'm facing a group of Rank SSS Adventurers ready to take me down.
Fuck.
And I've killed all sorts of things that I shouldn't be killing. Even if I'll be suicidal this time and sort of gave up fighting, I'm very sure this time...
= = = = = =
...I'm gonna be reborn again.
Yeah, they didn't even waste their time to summon me back into that room. Waha.
Good, now I don't need to listen to Synchia's whining. Sigh.
Now... what am I? A... wolf.
I'm in a pack of Dire Wolves.
Huh, neat.
Now. In my previous life, I'm just trying to survive. Not as a weakling Horned Rabbit but as a mere survivor. Learning that shitty intuition skill and accidentally made my life miserable.
Sooooo...
In my current life, I wonder if I can live my life fully as a normal Dire Wolf and die as a normal Dire Wolf instead of accidentally killing random shits that's somehow getting in my way?
Alright!
Hunt as a wolf!
Move as a wolf!
Fight as a wolf!
Eat as a wolf!
You're a wolf, a Dire Wolf!
Be with the pack and be a part of it!
No, I don't want to be the leader I don't want to evolve I just wanna be a normal Dire Wolf!
Don't give into the temptation of great power and great safety!
Just be the wolf, the normal Dire Wolf you are!
Now... DIE AS A WOLF TOO!
A PROUD, FULL, DIRE WOLF!!!
= = = = = =
...and the heck, I'm being reborn again.
What's wrong with me being a Dire Wolf and living as a Dire Wolf???
I AM a Dire Wolf- wait. I guess right now I WAS a Dire Wolf...
...
Dammit. I don't understand this. I can't rule over everyone, I can't play super safe, and I can't play as what I am??? Or... I'm simply NOT being what I am?
What am I?
Right now, I'm an Orc - not the green one; the PIG version.
But really, that's not the most important, isn't it?
Why do I keep on getting reborn? It's not being "living as what you are", or, live the best out of your life... isn't it?
My role is obviously not to entertain the gods? Or was it? Obviously they were angry because I tip off the balance... but what's the balance?
What's truly the balance that they're searching for???
The equal population of humans and monsters??? Is that really the thing? Or for everyone to live in peace and harmony???
Right now, I'm an orc. I'm a pig, then? So am I a food for the other monsters?
Well, if I'm gonna be reborn anyway, let me try this out then.
= = = = = =
Obviously that's not the right answer.
And damn, being chewed on and crushed upon... and being played around was not an enjoyment.
Perhaps that would entertain the gods? I mean, I suddenly received some sort of "Blessing of the Sadistic Demi-God". Eh. I don't get it. What does this do and how this will help me? Obviously, it doesn't. It's like, in games, you made an achievement. Sometimes they give you bonus, but sometimes... it's like a title to win over but without any usefulness. It's just A THING to work on after you finish the game... or something. It's not needed to complete the game, obviously.
So.
That aside, what am I right now? A... Red Bear? Huh.
I'm clearly having the strongest base form at this moment - as a monster I mean - after I kept on getting reincarnated. Sounds funny when it seemed like a game where each time you die your specs will be carried forward and so when you reborn you will have a stronger base than you had before-
But of course, we wouldn't know that for sure, right?
Wait, isn't Hakuko the strongest out of all?
...
Eh. We're wrong then.
Wait. Who are "we" anyway? Who am I talking to? Ah, myself. Of course. How are you? I'm fine. Nice to meet you too!
...
I'm very sure I'm going crazy at this point trying to think about how to get away from all these reincarnation. Sigh.
Ok. So. Maybe I should be like, you know, steer clear from the humans until I can somewhat communicate with them and try to tell them that I'm not an enemy and I'm not trying to hurt you? And also try to live in peace with all sorts of monsters that I came across?
Is that the right way?
I don't know. But all I know was being a Red Bear toughens the path that I'm trying to take. As a Red Bear, I naturally has a bounty on my head. Plus, my... "drops" (sounds wrong as if it's like bird drops - you know what I mean?) will be very beneficial for them - to make stronger armors and weapons. It's hard to try to NOT killing any humans, yet, trying to survive.
Also, trying to make friends with the monsters were equally as hard too. First, all monsters just tend to run away at the sight of me - even when I was a little cub. Or was it because of my terrorizing mother right behind of me? Man, I wanted to rebel so many times against her and run away from home... but doing that probably will sadden her.
Or will it make her proud?
Either way, I've already chose my path to be a good girl towards my mother. I still tried to hunt down normal animals and only feast upon them, but tried to reason out with any monsters that I came across... which is obviously not working because we couldn't understand each other. Any actions from this Red Bear threatened the other party and usually I just got into fights...
Sigh.
Being a Red Bear is fucking tough.
I don't even know how to learn other monster's languages!
Yes, this is the SECOND part of the hard part!
Dammit.
What am I supposed to do? Just die, and hopefully my next body will be a body that's capable of doing everything that I wanted to do???
But no, my name is NOT reborn.
That's obviously the name of a certain- whoops. I nearly spoil it out.
Anyway, I'm reborn into a... tiger cub. I guess. Well at least I can see that my parents are both Hakukos - white tiger-men - and they're a strong bunch of monsters.

Ok. So. Maybe I should be like, you know, steer clear from the humans until I can somewhat communicate with them and try to tell them that I'm not an enemy and I'm not trying to hurt you? And also try to live in peace with all sorts of monsters that I came across?
Is that the right way?
I don't know. But all I know was being a Red Bear toughens the path that I'm trying to take. As a Red Bear, I naturally has a bounty on my head. Plus, my... "drops" (sounds wrong as if it's like bird drops - you know what I mean?) will be very beneficial for them - to make stronger armors and weapons. It's hard to try to NOT killing any humans, yet, trying to survive.
Also, trying to make friends with the monsters were equally as hard too. First, all monsters just tend to run away at the sight of me - even when I was a little cub. Or was it because of my terrorizing mother right behind of me? Man, I wanted to rebel so many times against her and run away from home... but doing that probably will sadden her.
Or will it make her proud?
Either way, I've already chose my path to be a good girl towards my mother. I still tried to hunt down normal animals and only feast upon them, but tried to reason out with any monsters that I came across... which is obviously not working because we couldn't understand each other. Any actions from this Red Bear threatened the other party and usually I just got into fights...
Sigh.
Being a Red Bear is fucking tough.
I don't even know how to learn other monster's languages!
Yes, this is the SECOND part of the hard part!
Dammit.
What am I supposed to do? Just die, and hopefully my next body will be a body that's capable of doing everything that I wanted to do???
Re:Monstars ~ Prologue 00: The Sins of Miarah Charrin
< Author's Notes >
Hello everybody and welcome to my, uh, new serialization (?!) of a fiction, generally inspired by various "Reincarnation" ideas such as Re:Monster, Slime Tensei, Yaoshenji, etc. So you will find a lot of shout-outs towards and ideas from these series. Now, do I own all of these? Well, perhaps some terminologies... not really. But the story as its own? It's truly mine, and mine alone.
Without further ado, let's START!
So. I'm a human, being called out from the original world where modern technologies were intact and popular games were MMORPGs. What's my original name? Eh... it's not something that I'm proud about. Rather, I'm more attuned to my current self - Miarah Charrin. That's right! That's my current name! It sounded awesomely cool, right?
Unlike my old... unrespectable self.
As Miarah, I am strong. I can cast magic. I am able to stand up against legions of monsters and slay most of them with the help from my companions. From the exploits that I gained through hundreds and thousands campaigns, I'm rich and glorious. I'm filled with fame and fortune! I brought peace to countries, and I won battles for the people.
I am truly an honorable hero!
With the Ancient-graded armors and Phantom-graded weapons, I am invisible...
At least, I tried to believe that I am.
Otherwise, how am I supposed to stand against this silver, godlike, creature that's glaring down in front of me?
The staredown only happened in one minute, before I felt my body started to turn cold. What happened? Ah... I'm bleeding? T-There's a hole... in my chest! What- I didn't even have any time to react!
Am I... going to die...?
I looked behind, and I realized that all my companions were slain before me.
Am I the only one- no, the last one to die?
"That's... too fast...!"
And so, my vision turned to pure white.
Then... I found myself standing here.
In this blank space where there's nothing but white. I can see myself - as Miarah, thank goodness. Surely in such a white place, I'm in heaven... right? I've did nothing but good deeds throughout my whole life... so surely I'll die as a good man and ascend to the heavens, right?
"Wrong."
Eh?
"You - Miarah Charrin - are a sinner."
W-What?
There must be a mistake! A misunderstanding! I didn't sin- I never sin! Well, unless if you considered loving women is a sin... well, I have nothing to say then.
"No," A figure in white robes faded into my vision, standing- no, floating?- right in front of me. "You really do not understand what your actions have caused, don't you?"
...eh? Loving women have caused the lack of reproductio-?
"Nonono. You don't understand!" Another figure appeared - in the same style... both the entrance and the fashion. Huh, neat. "You thought that you were helping the people, but you were destroying the other half of the population in the world!"
...now I'm confused. What have I done? Did I accidentally caused the world's destruction or something?
"Well, if you continued what you're doing right now - slaying every single monsters that you came across - surely you will."
...that's a sin??? Aren't monsters supposed to be, you know, my enemies or something? And they do give out a lot of experiences... and they could always respawn?
"...you treat this world as a game, don't you?" Now another one descended into my view. Note that I mean descended... it really came down from ABOVE. "I summoned you, hopefully you could turn the tide of the world and bring balance to the world. Alas, everything that I did was a mistake. I should've never summon a person with her whole mind thinking about nothing but games."
Eh. What to do? I WAS an otaku.
"That's why I've been saying!" The one in the center was making a huge fuss. Eh, it sounded like a small girl not getting her candies. "And now she's obviously defiling me! I'm gonna erase her-"
"No. Stop."
OBVIOUSLY they heard my thoughts and the one that sounded like a small girl wanted to erase me... before the first white robe stopped her. I'm saved...?
"I have better plans."
Orrrrrr not.
"I'll make her understand her consequences. I'll... reincarnate her again."
Eh?
"EH?"
"...hmm. Sounds good."
"NONONO. HOW WILL IT SOUNDS GOOD?! If it's not because of YOUR avatar, you couldn't have subjugated this wrench-" Hey hey hey. That's a bad, bad word to describe me... "Shut up! You don't have a place in here! You kept on killing all my precious creations, driving them to extinctions, and you THOUGHT you're doing good for the world! Hell no! You deserved an erasure... if it's not because of Alaraid, you would've been DEAD by my hands!"
...technically speaking, I'm already dead so...
"UUUUUUUUGH!!! THIS WOMAN!!!"
"Hush Synchia. We'll deal with her. You could go to rest first."
"...FINE!" Aaaand there she goes~ Poofing away without leaving anything behind~
"Alright Miarah. You shall be reincarnated. UNTIL you truly understood the world and the importance of its balance."
Eh. Why so troublesome-
"Do not complain. It's because of your current attitude that everything happened - because of troublesome, you killed all the monster children so that you don't need to deal with them in the possible future; because of troublesome, you keep on hunting for monsters in one area until they're all dead because you don't want to move to find another place to train-" Eh, wait. Aren't that supposed to be hardworking instead? "-hardworking doesn't equate to fear of troublesome."
That's... fine.
"And until you truly understand the meaning of the balance in this world, you shall be reincarnated again and again and again until you get it-"
WAIT.
I'M GONNA BE REINCARNATED SO MANY TIMES?!
WHAT IF I UNDERSTOOD IT THE FIRST TIME? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!
"...I'm a god, Miarah. I know."
...fair enough...
"Now go."
Eh- WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~
And my world turned upside down, black and chaotic, and...
I am reborn.

Nankahen no Monogatari [Chapter 1 - The Strange Yet Familiar World]
Ossu! My name is Rei! I'm a NEET desu! I'm 23! And I'm not in the mood to introduce myself 'cause...
{{{{{{ ============
[Insert Opening Song]
"MEZAMETA KONO NANKAHEN NO SEKAI HE~"
[Insert Animation]
Trees... Trees... More trees... then there's flowers and bushes... It seemed to be humid over there. Hmm...
"From this, I conclude... I'M IN A TROPICAL JUNGLE!" I punch my fist to the air for my conclusion, before I swap it down. "JANEEN DA!"
Ok, I'm self-boke and self-tsukkomi-ing. What the...
"Seriously, where am I? How did I get here?"
Ah yes. I remembered. I was in front of my computer - as usual - doing my own stuffs reading mangas and checking my Facebooks and SUDDENLY! There's this mail thing that I plan to delete buuuuuut I clicked on the wrong space aaaaand...
"KOKO NI KITTA!!!!!!!"
I made a dramatic pose once again, but instantly I dropped down and wanted to knock my head to the ground... but it's dirty, so I didn't do it. "I'm not making any sense... My memories don't make sense. So what, did I got sucked by the computer?" Suddenly, I stood up. "Masaka, I'm in the Digital World?!" I looked around, but there's no signs of Digimon-lookalike.
Instead...
WOAH! I was so shocked. Not just there's someone aside from myself, but... it's a GODDAMN FAIRY!??!?!? She seemed pretty familiar for a fairy... but that's not just that.
She called me dear whaaa?
"Uh... wha?" I blinked, trying to grasp the reality of the situation. I looked around for another possible candidate for 'heroine', but it seemed that there's only... "Me?"
"I know you must have a lot of questions, but I have no time, so I'll cut it short," Wait. Did you just ignored me- "You have been summoned here in order to defeat the evil boss Evangelion," Evil boss WHA...?! Evangelion WHA?!?!?! "But have no worries young heroine, your companions will aid you along your journey," My companions? W-Where? Wait. Don't tell me...
"Here is a crystal orb," With that, she shoved a crystal ball to me. Ooooooooo... Shiny shining shiniest girls be ambitious and shine--- wait. Stop that right there. Don't sing. Not time for singing.
"And this is...?" What is this crystal ball gonna do? Show me the future? Transform into my minions? Or throw at people to capture them???
"The crystal orb will lead your way towards your companions," She smiled at me - ugh, I don't like that smile... seemed to be TROUBLE! "Now, I shall take my leave. Good luck in your journey, dear heroine!"
"Huhwhat? WAIT!"
Aaaaaaaaaaand she's gone!
I blinked. Not just someone just simply VANISHED in a blink of eye, but... "You never told me how to use this thing! Hey, come back fairy! COME BAAAAAACK~~~"
Oh great.
Did you just seriously want me to throw at some people and catch some Pokemans?
"The hell..." I scratched my head as I looked at the ball... no, more like, I glared at the ball.
Ball. Gimme some answers. Ball.
"..."
You no manual kah, ball?!
"..."
Did I just have a staring contest with a crystal ball for a few minutes? Oh god.
"What, you want me to say 'crystal crystal in my hand, who's the fairest of them all?'" Of course, the crystal did not reply me. I sighed.
"The heck... AHHHH SCREW IT!!!" Furiously, I threw the ball to the ground and ready to stomp at it... but it rolled away down the mountain!
HOLY SHYET.
"Fuckfuckfuckfuck WAIT! DON'T GO AWAY! COME BAAAAACK!!!"
I have never been so horrified. My first "quest item" and I just threw it away? Nonono. It fucking ROLLED away... to save itself from being stomped.
...
Fine.
I'll retrieve it. Sigh.
[3rd Person P.O.V.]
[Insert Rolling Girl or Rolling Star or any songs that has the word Rolling... oh. Rolling In The Deep.]
The ball rolled and rolled and rolled... into a small village. Then, it started to shine in bright lights, before an arrow formed and pointed towards a certain direction. A restaurant. Unfortunately, our heroine could not see the happening moment...
What was she doing now?
[1st Person]
"Shitshitshitshitshit. Where did it go...? OI! Come out already! I promise I won't throw or stomp on you again ok?!" I yelled into the woods as I searched for that piece of j- I mean, my very, very, precious quest orb.
"Come on... Orb-san~ Orb-san-"
"Grrrrrr..."
"...eh?" I froze. That... that kind of sound. It...can't be. Ok, seriously, don't. Turn. Back. Rei. Be nice and steady... reach out your first step... "RUN!!!"
Yes, I ran, but I forgot to look in front and... now I'm a Rolling Girl.
Rooooolin' gaaaru~ wa itsu mademo~~~
WTF brain. Now is really not a good time to sing, y'know...? It's supposed to be the time to:
"Mmmm...gh...?"
Where... am I? Am I back in my room? Is the nightmare over? Is everything just a dream? Or I'm still stuck in the Digital-whatsoever-World? Is this room... my room? Does my room even looked like this? Oh god. Where am I this time? Is this still a dream? Have I teleported somewhere?
"KHHH!!!"
THAT PAIN. I tried to get up but FUCK. I can't and it fucking HURTS. Shit shit shit. Where am I? I can't defend myself like this! Ohno ohno- and I'm COVERED IN BANDAGES?! WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Ooooooooookay. Deja vu, anyone?
Yes Pixie-san I'm awake so PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK NOW WITH MY MOUTH BEING COVERED IN BANDAGES-
...
Oi. Are you fucking with me? What's with that smile!? OI. I'm not your fucking entertainment WHO'S FAULT YOU THINK IT IS THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENED TO ME RIGHT NOW. I JUST ROLLED DOWN LIKE THAT FREAKING BALL WHAT DO YOU THINK-
...wait.
Is this... what they called karma? Oh god...
Ok fine. It's karma. It's my own fault that I threw it and I want to stomp it and I'll never do it again because now I'm the Rolling Girl BUT STILL-
"You have just engaged in your first battle, very good!" Waitwhut, first battle WHAT?! "Now, you are finally qualified as a Warrior Heroine with a proper class," Oh great, so I WAS something like a Novice just now? And that battle is a test? Grrrrrrrreat. "Now, your class will be determined by your performance in the first battle," ...wait. What? M-My guess... It's true?! "Hmmm, it seemed that the sword is too heavy for you and you're a bit too clumsy to ascend to a swordsman class-" WOI. STOP THERE. I HAVE A SWORD?! "-but you're brilliant enough to choose to escape, even though it's your first battle. Though considered cowardly, not much beginner would choose to fight a werewolf head on," WTF THAT'S A WEREWOLF?! WHY DID YOU SPAWN ME NEAR A FUCKING WEREWOLF OIIII. SO IT WASN'T REALLY MY FAULT OIIIIIIII. "Oh, your running speed is marvelous!" Running speed? More like, I did the 'Rolling Girl'. Pfffft. "Hmm. I see." You see what? My pathetic form right now? That you have caused?
"Alright. Evaluations have been done. You're now officially a thief."
...
OI. NOBODY TOLD ME THAT RULE. NOBODY TOLD ME I'M BEING ACCESSED. WTF. I know I'm careless and I know I fucking ran from my first fucking battle but YOU WOULD RUN TOO AS YOU SAID! And I didn't even realized I had a sword- no. Even with a sword it's a FUCKING WEREWOLF! What is this logic?! It's like you just sent me to play uber guitar for UV3Rw0rld while I'm still a potato learning how-to-not-break-your-guitar-for-dummies! And what the hell is a heroine with the class of a thief?! What should I do, steal some rare items from Evangelion and negotiate with that monster? “Hey I stole your Shinji maybe you can stop destroying the world?” BULLSHIT!
AND WHO EVALUATED ME?! WHO SENT YOU HERE?!
"Remember, your actions are being closely watched. It seemed that you have entertained them enough and you received a few blessings from the gods," WTF. GODS?! YOU THINK THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY?! OIIIII.
"By the way, your first companion should be in contact with you..." ...vat. But I lost my orb? Wait. So no catching Pokemans? "Oh, your orb is not around? I see. So that's the way that it chose to lead you to your companions," ORB. YOU OK KAH?! WHY YOU CHOOSE THIS PATH. CAN YOU CHOOSE A NORMAL PATH?! THIS IS SUICIDE WEIH. FOR ME AND YOU BOTH WEIHHH.
"Alright, my time is up! Good luck in your quest heroine!" OI STOP. DON'T DISAPPEAR- dammit. She's gone, again! I swear, one day, I'm going to capture you in a magic cage and name you freaking Twinkle Bell and sing to you "Twinkle Bell~ Twinkle Bell~ Twinkle all the way" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Bell~ How I wonder where you are~" ALL. DAY. LONG. I will make puns on you, I will make puns on your family, and I will make puns on your bells-
WOAH?!
“Ah, you’re awake!” SCARE DIE ME. WHO ARE YOU- wait. That voice. So familiar…
…LEGASSSSPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT. THAT FACE. OI. YOU MAJI KA YO. That uke-ful kawaii face. That hair. That attire is another thing but THAT "CUTE" VOICE. That height and that aura!
KOU. MAH BUDDY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE~~~ Did you save me? Did you got dragged into this “game” too?
“Thank god you’re safe! I was very worried when I saw you nearly DIED at the mountain end!” Ooooh! I see your ears now! They’re elf ears! I KNEW you will choose to be an elf-
…wait.
Choose?
KOU WHY YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR RACE BUT I CANNOT WHO GIVE YOU THAT PERMISSION-
“I’ve cooked you some mushrooms miss~” Miss? Oi Kou, you dunno my name or you purposely wanna tease me of my current state huh? "Let's eat!" I would love too! But as you can see I-
“Oi Kou, do you think she can eat when she’s all bandaged up like that?” Thank you~ And hello Kou’s little brother~ You came into this game too? You seemed so seme. Kek. As expected of Kou's lil' bro.
“…lol Kon. Sorry miss, lemme untie you from this prison,” Kou slowly took off the bandages off my body… finally I can move a little~
Wait.
Finally? Move a little?
"Gosh... they're so... tight!" Erm, the part that it sounded weird aside, who tied me like this?! No wonder I have pain all over my body... gosh! "Stupid sister... Hey Aki! Why'd you tie her up like this?!"
Ah. His voice changed. In case if you don’t know, previously he has been talking using his higher register. Now he’s using his deeper, manlier voice that’s different from his usual looks. What, you thought he’s a girl? Pffft. You dunno how many times people have been mistaken him for a “miss”. Kek.
"It's you who told me to do this, stupid brother!"
"Yes, Kou."
"...I... I panicked ok?! Gosh, you two..." Can't work under pressure? Sure this is Kou alright. "Yoshiotto... Hai! Dekita!" Ok, this IS Kou alright. Only he will use Hirasawa Yui's talking style...
"Mmmmm!" I stretched my body. It suuuuure felt much better this way! I AM... FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!! "Sankyu ne, Kou-chan!" I laughed and gave him a peace-sign... which he seemed to be dumbfounded by such approach. He blinked for a few times, took him some while to recover and gave me back the same sign.
Hmm? Why the delay...? Don't tell me...
"Domo! By the way, my full name is Hirasawa Kou!" Hirasawa--- WHAT?! Waitwaitwait. Isn't that...?! "This is my little brother Kon and my little sister Aki," Wait. I knew them already, so why is he introducing them to me again? So he really isn't the Kou I knew...? "Aki changed your clothes by the way, so don't you worry about that!"
"O-Ohhh..." I blinked. For a moment, I can't seemed to comprehend what's going on in front of me.
"So, what's your name?" He looked at me innocently. Really, he don't...? Fine.
“My name is, uh, Tai… Tainaka Rei! Yeah, my name is Tainaka Rei!” WHAT AM I DOING?! THIS MAKES ME ANOTHER K-ON-SURNAME-RIP-OFF CHARACTER OI. But since he’s doing it, me doing this should be alright, right…? "Thanks for saving my life! I owe you one!"
"Oh shush, it's no big deal!" Ah, his diva side. "After all, saving a person is a good deed, right?"
So... it's really Kou after all! But... This is like a parallel world? What, alternate universe? Uhhhhhh...my brain.
“Sounds like you almost forgot your name for a moment there!” He gave a semi-horrified look, but quickly reverted back to his usual smile. “I guess you really had a bad fall, eh?”
“Hahaha… You have nooooo idea…”
Yeah. And I don’t mean only from that mountain. I mean falling from my original world…
…into this world… Strange, yet, familiar world…

Ball. Gimme some answers. Ball.
"..."
You no manual kah, ball?!
"..."
Did I just have a staring contest with a crystal ball for a few minutes? Oh god.
"What, you want me to say 'crystal crystal in my hand, who's the fairest of them all?'" Of course, the crystal did not reply me. I sighed.
"The heck... AHHHH SCREW IT!!!" Furiously, I threw the ball to the ground and ready to stomp at it... but it rolled away down the mountain!
HOLY SHYET.
"Fuckfuckfuckfuck WAIT! DON'T GO AWAY! COME BAAAAACK!!!"
I have never been so horrified. My first "quest item" and I just threw it away? Nonono. It fucking ROLLED away... to save itself from being stomped.
...
Fine.
I'll retrieve it. Sigh.

[3rd Person P.O.V.]
[Insert Rolling Girl or Rolling Star or any songs that has the word Rolling... oh. Rolling In The Deep.]
The ball rolled and rolled and rolled... into a small village. Then, it started to shine in bright lights, before an arrow formed and pointed towards a certain direction. A restaurant. Unfortunately, our heroine could not see the happening moment...
What was she doing now?
= = = = = = = = = =
[1st Person]
"Shitshitshitshitshit. Where did it go...? OI! Come out already! I promise I won't throw or stomp on you again ok?!" I yelled into the woods as I searched for that piece of j- I mean, my very, very, precious quest orb.
"Come on... Orb-san~ Orb-san-"
"Grrrrrr..."
"...eh?" I froze. That... that kind of sound. It...can't be. Ok, seriously, don't. Turn. Back. Rei. Be nice and steady... reach out your first step... "RUN!!!"
Yes, I ran, but I forgot to look in front and... now I'm a Rolling Girl.
Rooooolin' gaaaru~ wa itsu mademo~~~
WTF brain. Now is really not a good time to sing, y'know...? It's supposed to be the time to:
"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH~~~~~!!!!!!"
= = = = = = = = = =
"Mmmm...gh...?"
Where... am I? Am I back in my room? Is the nightmare over? Is everything just a dream? Or I'm still stuck in the Digital-whatsoever-World? Is this room... my room? Does my room even looked like this? Oh god. Where am I this time? Is this still a dream? Have I teleported somewhere?
"KHHH!!!"
THAT PAIN. I tried to get up but FUCK. I can't and it fucking HURTS. Shit shit shit. Where am I? I can't defend myself like this! Ohno ohno- and I'm COVERED IN BANDAGES?! WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
"Ah, I see you've awakened, my dear heroine."
Ooooooooookay. Deja vu, anyone?
Yes Pixie-san I'm awake so PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK NOW WITH MY MOUTH BEING COVERED IN BANDAGES-
...
Oi. Are you fucking with me? What's with that smile!? OI. I'm not your fucking entertainment WHO'S FAULT YOU THINK IT IS THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENED TO ME RIGHT NOW. I JUST ROLLED DOWN LIKE THAT FREAKING BALL WHAT DO YOU THINK-
...wait.
Is this... what they called karma? Oh god...
Ok fine. It's karma. It's my own fault that I threw it and I want to stomp it and I'll never do it again because now I'm the Rolling Girl BUT STILL-
"You have just engaged in your first battle, very good!" Waitwhut, first battle WHAT?! "Now, you are finally qualified as a Warrior Heroine with a proper class," Oh great, so I WAS something like a Novice just now? And that battle is a test? Grrrrrrrreat. "Now, your class will be determined by your performance in the first battle," ...wait. What? M-My guess... It's true?! "Hmmm, it seemed that the sword is too heavy for you and you're a bit too clumsy to ascend to a swordsman class-" WOI. STOP THERE. I HAVE A SWORD?! "-but you're brilliant enough to choose to escape, even though it's your first battle. Though considered cowardly, not much beginner would choose to fight a werewolf head on," WTF THAT'S A WEREWOLF?! WHY DID YOU SPAWN ME NEAR A FUCKING WEREWOLF OIIII. SO IT WASN'T REALLY MY FAULT OIIIIIIII. "Oh, your running speed is marvelous!" Running speed? More like, I did the 'Rolling Girl'. Pfffft. "Hmm. I see." You see what? My pathetic form right now? That you have caused?
"Alright. Evaluations have been done. You're now officially a thief."
...
OI. NOBODY TOLD ME THAT RULE. NOBODY TOLD ME I'M BEING ACCESSED. WTF. I know I'm careless and I know I fucking ran from my first fucking battle but YOU WOULD RUN TOO AS YOU SAID! And I didn't even realized I had a sword- no. Even with a sword it's a FUCKING WEREWOLF! What is this logic?! It's like you just sent me to play uber guitar for UV3Rw0rld while I'm still a potato learning how-to-not-break-your-guitar-for-dummies! And what the hell is a heroine with the class of a thief?! What should I do, steal some rare items from Evangelion and negotiate with that monster? “Hey I stole your Shinji maybe you can stop destroying the world?” BULLSHIT!
AND WHO EVALUATED ME?! WHO SENT YOU HERE?!
"Remember, your actions are being closely watched. It seemed that you have entertained them enough and you received a few blessings from the gods," WTF. GODS?! YOU THINK THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY?! OIIIII.
"By the way, your first companion should be in contact with you..." ...vat. But I lost my orb? Wait. So no catching Pokemans? "Oh, your orb is not around? I see. So that's the way that it chose to lead you to your companions," ORB. YOU OK KAH?! WHY YOU CHOOSE THIS PATH. CAN YOU CHOOSE A NORMAL PATH?! THIS IS SUICIDE WEIH. FOR ME AND YOU BOTH WEIHHH.
"Alright, my time is up! Good luck in your quest heroine!" OI STOP. DON'T DISAPPEAR- dammit. She's gone, again! I swear, one day, I'm going to capture you in a magic cage and name you freaking Twinkle Bell and sing to you "Twinkle Bell~ Twinkle Bell~ Twinkle all the way" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Bell~ How I wonder where you are~" ALL. DAY. LONG. I will make puns on you, I will make puns on your family, and I will make puns on your bells-
*CLACK!*
WOAH?!
“Ah, you’re awake!” SCARE DIE ME. WHO ARE YOU- wait. That voice. So familiar…
…LEGASSSSPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT. THAT FACE. OI. YOU MAJI KA YO. That uke-ful kawaii face. That hair. That attire is another thing but THAT "CUTE" VOICE. That height and that aura!
KOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~~~
KOU. MAH BUDDY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE~~~ Did you save me? Did you got dragged into this “game” too?
“Thank god you’re safe! I was very worried when I saw you nearly DIED at the mountain end!” Ooooh! I see your ears now! They’re elf ears! I KNEW you will choose to be an elf-
…wait.
Choose?
KOU WHY YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR RACE BUT I CANNOT WHO GIVE YOU THAT PERMISSION-
“I’ve cooked you some mushrooms miss~” Miss? Oi Kou, you dunno my name or you purposely wanna tease me of my current state huh? "Let's eat!" I would love too! But as you can see I-
“Oi Kou, do you think she can eat when she’s all bandaged up like that?” Thank you~ And hello Kou’s little brother~ You came into this game too? You seemed so seme. Kek. As expected of Kou's lil' bro.
“…lol Kon. Sorry miss, lemme untie you from this prison,” Kou slowly took off the bandages off my body… finally I can move a little~
Wait.
Finally? Move a little?
"Gosh... they're so... tight!" Erm, the part that it sounded weird aside, who tied me like this?! No wonder I have pain all over my body... gosh! "Stupid sister... Hey Aki! Why'd you tie her up like this?!"
Ah. His voice changed. In case if you don’t know, previously he has been talking using his higher register. Now he’s using his deeper, manlier voice that’s different from his usual looks. What, you thought he’s a girl? Pffft. You dunno how many times people have been mistaken him for a “miss”. Kek.
"It's you who told me to do this, stupid brother!"
"Yes, Kou."
"...I... I panicked ok?! Gosh, you two..." Can't work under pressure? Sure this is Kou alright. "Yoshiotto... Hai! Dekita!" Ok, this IS Kou alright. Only he will use Hirasawa Yui's talking style...
"Mmmmm!" I stretched my body. It suuuuure felt much better this way! I AM... FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!! "Sankyu ne, Kou-chan!" I laughed and gave him a peace-sign... which he seemed to be dumbfounded by such approach. He blinked for a few times, took him some while to recover and gave me back the same sign.
Hmm? Why the delay...? Don't tell me...
"Domo! By the way, my full name is Hirasawa Kou!" Hirasawa--- WHAT?! Waitwaitwait. Isn't that...?! "This is my little brother Kon and my little sister Aki," Wait. I knew them already, so why is he introducing them to me again? So he really isn't the Kou I knew...? "Aki changed your clothes by the way, so don't you worry about that!"
"O-Ohhh..." I blinked. For a moment, I can't seemed to comprehend what's going on in front of me.
"So, what's your name?" He looked at me innocently. Really, he don't...? Fine.
“My name is, uh, Tai… Tainaka Rei! Yeah, my name is Tainaka Rei!” WHAT AM I DOING?! THIS MAKES ME ANOTHER K-ON-SURNAME-RIP-OFF CHARACTER OI. But since he’s doing it, me doing this should be alright, right…? "Thanks for saving my life! I owe you one!"
"Oh shush, it's no big deal!" Ah, his diva side. "After all, saving a person is a good deed, right?"
So... it's really Kou after all! But... This is like a parallel world? What, alternate universe? Uhhhhhh...my brain.
“Sounds like you almost forgot your name for a moment there!” He gave a semi-horrified look, but quickly reverted back to his usual smile. “I guess you really had a bad fall, eh?”
“Hahaha… You have nooooo idea…”
Yeah. And I don’t mean only from that mountain. I mean falling from my original world…
…into this world… Strange, yet, familiar world…

"Fabricated Love"
"...I smiled as I can finally see you again. I can only see you when the night comes, and before I went to my dreams. I can't touch you, but I know you're here with me. You would smile back at me, and cradle me to sleep. You would sing me a lullaby, and pat my head.
You will always be here with me, even when the world crumbles.
There ARE times when you don't appear though, when my mind was too occupied with present things, and when I'm going through a huge emotional moment that I really need to be with myself. Still, you will be here if I wished you to be, for you to soothe me and tell me that everything will be alright.
Even though both of us knew that nothing can be alright.
I love you, from the bottom of my heart - because you know me the best, because you know how to calm me down, and... and because you're the best person in the world that won't judge me, and will give me the best advice.
Still.
I couldn't touch you no matter how much I wished for. And so these pillows and stuffed animals are the only substitution for me who yearned to touch you.
I can only hope that you will never go away, and forever stay by my side... but that would abstain me from the real world, right?
I smiled again. This time, I could taste the bitterness from my own forced smile. Again, I know I can't touch you, but I pretend that I could while caressing my little penguin. Should I wish you away? So that I can go back to my reality?
But... I couldn't.
For I love my own fantasy the most, even though most of my actual inspirations came from the reality part... fantasy is the one which keeps me going. I couldn't just wish you to go away, because you're my motivation.
Finally, I could feel that my conscious is fading away, and you're fading away too. Every night I wished that I could hold you a little longer, talk to you a little longer... but even I'm a slave to this weak thing called 'sleep'.
So good night, my fabricated reality.
May I see you again tomorrow night..."

Hoshikuzu Venus
Hey.
Hey...
Don't cry, my dearest.
Don't cry.
Everyone has to leave soon, and so do I... so do you.
You will meet better people in your life, and they will take care of you.
Of course I'll be ok! Who the heck do you think I am?
I'll be fine wherever I go, the only one that I worry is only you, ok?
I hope that you'll smile again, and be fine on your journey to another phrase of your life.
So now...
= = =
Hey,
How are you right now? It's been years since your departure, I hope you have a lot of adventures and stories to tell me!
If you ask how do I do, I'm doing very well right now. I have a family to feed, and companions to adventure with. Yeah yeah, I know it doesn't sound like me to have a family but hey! Time changes people, alright?
How is your sword? Is it still good? Well, it was pretty cheap quality so it's alright if you want to change it, y'know? I mean, don't fight your enemies with weak swords, alright? You're a knight right now. There's no need to keep that poor sword by your side.
By the way, I'm going to move to the borderline pretty soon. The mountains here aren't enough to keep my babies fed so yeah! If you can't find me - don't worry, I still can find you HAHAHA!
I'll let you listen to my story another time, ok? The kids are shouting at me again. Bye!
= = =
Hey,
Sorry for not contacting you for a long time but there's been a lot of stuffs going on. We managed to get to the new place - woohoo! The new place is pretty fine! My kids loved it here. The forest are well and so was the rivers. It is the best place in the world! I think I'm going to stay here forever HAHAHA! Oh but, it's a bit hard to find so don't even bother about it.
I don't travel anymore - as I said, I'm staying here forever hahaha! But so far, everywhere I travel, I could hear your name, and your stories! Congratulations for promoting to general! I didn't even need to ask how are you right now, 'cause it seemed that you're doing very fine hahaha! I swear I could hear people naming their kids after you already. Heh, maybe I'll name one kid after you too! I have the 5th kid already, and they're really awesome! Maybe I'll get a 6th one? Hahaha! But it's a bit of trouble though, I mean, with a lot of children... but hey, perhaps they will help me out one day!
I hope for your future to go well, and so for myself.
"...and that was the last time I heard of her," The general smiled softly, touching the tombstone of her dearest. Around her were beasts, the guardian of the tombstone. They did not attack her, but welcomed her to reconcile with the person that she has been finding for such a long time.
"Hmm... I guess she didn't want you to-"
"SHHH. You KNEW she didn't want her to worry...!" The rabbit shut the tiger's mouth in an instance, whispered to him, then noticed that the general actually heard them. The general just raised an eyebrow, eyeing at the guardians of the tomb. They were silent for a while, before the general decided to draw her sword out.
"What's the truth behind this, guardians," The general's tone was cold, and fury reflected in her emerald orbs.
"We... promised not to tell," The owl spoke, unfazed by the general's piercing sword to her side. "Not even under threats, dear general."
"...that's not the answer I'm looking for, guardians," The general was about to cut the owl down, before the wolf pounced onto the general.
"You can't do this. She would not be happy to see this, general," He barked, glaring at the general.
"Who are you to decide her happiness or not?!" With a strong push, the woman in black able to get rid of the wolf on top of her. With a raging anger, she swung her sword down towards the guardians in front of her, which prompted them to evade and decided that they should stop her.
But not killing her, of course.
"For years, I have been trying to get back to her... For years, I have been trying to find her... And now you're telling me that all her news are lies?!" The general roared, swinging her sword to fight back the guardians. "First you tell me that she doesn't have children of her own, and all of you are the beasts that she adopted... I knew it's funny for her to just get married like that - she used to tell me that she hated kids too! Damn it... Damn it! How many lies do you intend to paint to cover up your sadness, Irhat?!"
"Stop this, general!" Fearing that she might actually slice down the tomb, the tiger went forth with his large body to block the sword.
"I knew it was funny when people made that face when I asked for your name... Goddammit. People looked down on you, Irhat!" Furious blows strike the tiger over and over again. "Why don't you just tell me exactly how people treat you?! Why don't you just tell me that you're not doing well?! I could have summoned the entire army down for you, storm this place into a wasteland for you! Why?!" A strong blow. "Why?!" Another blow. "WHYYYY?!" And it broke the sword into half.
"General!"
"Why..." The broken sword dropped to the floor, making a loud clang. "Why can't you just... depend on me a little..." It contrasted with the general's soundless sob. "I'm not the kid that you used to shield anymore... I'm... I'm a general goddammit. I have powers. I can do whatever I want. I can protect you this time... I don't need you to protect me until the end... I want to make you happy like how you did for me...!"
Drip. Drip. Drip.
The rain started to fall.
The sound of the raindrops covered the wail of the general - crying like a child who lost her mother. Perhaps it literally meant that way for her, as Irhat served both as a friend and a mother towards her until she was a teenager. The guardians were weeping silently too, unable cover their sadness as the truth sips in - that they remembered the hardship that they went through: to bear the torments from the various villages, to run away from people that hunt them down, to remember how their mistress worked very hard for all of them, and to protect the general's name to not be tarnished by her own bad reputations.
The owl felt the guilt, every time she brought letters to the general from her mistress, for she knew that the letters were lies, and that she couldn't tell the general the truth and ask for help.
The tiger and the rabbit were not looking good as well. If they didn't speak of anything just now, perhaps then the general will not find out of this truth, and that the general will go back in peace.
But at least she knew, they thought.
At least she knew the truth, even though it was a bad one.
She will not be lied again anyway...
= = =
I laughed, not because I was 'Strong'.
You don't want to see my crying face any longer, do you?
And I hope for you to remember me at my most beautiful moment.
Goodbye?
That last word is nowhere to be found.
What I wished for wasn't anything grand -
just the words, "It's all right if you stay."
But it's all right,
For you have became better without me...
Hey...
Don't cry, my dearest.
Don't cry.
Everyone has to leave soon, and so do I... so do you.
You will meet better people in your life, and they will take care of you.
Of course I'll be ok! Who the heck do you think I am?
I'll be fine wherever I go, the only one that I worry is only you, ok?

First Love, The Beginning After The End
FIRSTLY: I WRITE THIS BECAUSE I COULDN'T HELP IT. AND IT WAS DONE WITHIN LIKE 30 MINUTES RIGHT AFTER I FINISHED THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF THE GAMEPLAY. IT MIGHT NOT MAKE SENSE TO ANY OF YOU.
SECONDLY: NONE OF THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME. IF I DO, I MAKE THEM LOVE EACH OTHER. AND I MIGHT MAKE CLEMMY A BIT OLDER SO THAT JANE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A PEDOPHILE.
THIRDLY: THIS IS YURI/GIRL'S LOVE/LESBIAN IF YOU DON'T LIKE PLEASE LEAVE.
= = =
"Clem, are you sure about this?"
Jane looked at Clementine - now on her late teens - on top of her. How many years have they met? How many years they have been through life and death together? Jane couldn't count. There were numerous times where she intend to leave her, but came back anyway. Every time, it was only because of Clementine, and nothing else. And every time, Clementine would be glad, and she wouldn't cry. But Jane knew, that Clementine was furious at her leaving her alone, with a bunch of people that she would prefer not to hang out with. She expected Clementine to be mad at her, but she would never expect Clementine to actually hit her, yelled at her, and cried at her the last time she went off. She even confessed to her in the fit of rage.
After that incident, Jane never left Clementine anymore.
"Yes, of course. What do you expect? It's been 2 years since we're together, Jane. 2. Fucking. Years. Can you imagine how hard was it to hold my urge back? And to remember how you go off with someone like that... Luke in the first place."
Ah. That incident. Jane was furious at herself too. Two things: 1. She actually need to let off some steam knowing how hard it was to be around Clementine like that; 2. So that she would set herself right, she would have sex with a man that she have zero, or even negative, feelings towards. It was a mistake, but she did not quite regret it. Otherwise, Jane wouldn't see Clementine being jealous about a deadman that have sex with her instead of her, for the first time after everything happened.
It was cute to see Clementine being jealous.
And Clementine had no time to be jealous.
They were constantly running away from death, running away from harm, and running to get to shelter. There was no time to even talk about their relationship, especially when there's a group around them. Jane wasn't the type to fit into the group, but Clementine was always the star of the group, the charismatic and morally good leader that everyone would follow... every single time when they met a group. They lost count of the years that they have been running away from the dead, but they do try to remember when was their first day.
The day when they are officially a couple.
But since then, they didn't do anything much. They just did whatever they do as always - running away from the dead. There's not much advancement, and they were always on the edge. They couldn't even think of how to give proper love to each other, aside for always being by each other's side and never leaving one another.
Until now...
The apocalypse is over. The vaccine has been found. They did not care about the answer - they only cared about the result. And it was great - no - the best result that they have been waiting for - there are no more walkers, no more fear, no more running away. They were given shelter, while they helped to cleanse the dead. It has been 1 year after the end of apocalypse. Everything has been settled... and there's finally some time to breath.
Some time to love.
"You know, it's really hard to think that this day will come... hell, I couldn't even imagine if you actually fall in love with me," Jane, in her early thirties, smirked at the black lady in front of her. "Given all the choices you have around you, it was hard to believe that you will choose me over them."
"Oh shut up Jane," Clementine kissed the older lady. "There's only you who I truly trusted in, after everyone else... After Lee... After Kenny..."
"...Kenny..." Jane frowned. That incident... It was either her, or Kenny...
"...nah, we're not going back to that topic," The younger girl smiled at Jane. Did she regretted making that decision? A little. It was the hardest decision in her life, after shooting Lee in the head, of course. "We're here to make love, not to make tears."
"...Clem! where did you learn that word?!" Jane, unexpectedly, blushed. She never thought this girl could have make that sentence out of her mouth! Then again, they ARE going to do this anyway... "Well, we don't know for sure if one of us are going to cry..."
"...wait. It hurts?" Clementine widened her eyes. Nope, she will NEVER hurt Jane in any way! If making love hurts, then she might as well not do it.
"Pff- HAHAHA!" Jane laughed, which sets Clementine back again. Was she joking about the pain? "No... I mean yes, it hurts a bit, but it'll be better. Sometimes, you won't feel the pain at all," The white lady smirked as she kissed Clementine. "It's just that, well, if it gets too pleasurable... you might tear up... I guess."
"...did you tear up when you're doing with Luke?"
There goes that topic again, and Clementine's... "Death Stare".
"Haha! No way. He's... not that good anyway."
"Then how do you know?" Clementine's being skeptical now.
"Well... I... Read it somewhere... yeah," Well, Jane couldn't tell Clementine that she masturbated sometimes imagining Clemmy doing that to her and she actually teared up from that... right?
"Hmm...?" The younger girl raised her eyebrow. Even more skeptical.
"Anyway, are we doing this or not? Or I'll forever be remembered as 'Jane who did with Luke' and nothing else anymore."
"Oh shush! I won't let that title even get to you," Clementine pouted, a little bit disgusted by that image. "I'll make a better one... 'Jane who teared up by doing with the most amazing girl in the world that handles a dog's bite's pain and guided groups of survivor, the queen of survivor... Clementine'."
"PFFF! CLEMMY! Can your title get any WORSE than that?!" Jane couldn't help but laugh right now, but secretly... she was very sure that it would happen.
The teared up part.
"Ohhhhhh you will GET IT FROM ME!" Clementine laughed as she kissed Jane, who returned with the same playfulness. After each exchange of kisses, the kisses slowly turned from playful to passionate, and it slowly heats up as they felt the inner urge swelling up.
"Jane... You ready...?"
"Ha... Heh. Yeah. Anytime, my Clementine."
They smiled as they caressed each other gently, slightly blushing with excitement as they realize that this is going to come true.
Their first night together.
Their first love, together...
SECONDLY: NONE OF THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME. IF I DO, I MAKE THEM LOVE EACH OTHER. AND I MIGHT MAKE CLEMMY A BIT OLDER SO THAT JANE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A PEDOPHILE.
THIRDLY: THIS IS YURI/GIRL'S LOVE/LESBIAN IF YOU DON'T LIKE PLEASE LEAVE.
= = =
"Clem, are you sure about this?"
Jane looked at Clementine - now on her late teens - on top of her. How many years have they met? How many years they have been through life and death together? Jane couldn't count. There were numerous times where she intend to leave her, but came back anyway. Every time, it was only because of Clementine, and nothing else. And every time, Clementine would be glad, and she wouldn't cry. But Jane knew, that Clementine was furious at her leaving her alone, with a bunch of people that she would prefer not to hang out with. She expected Clementine to be mad at her, but she would never expect Clementine to actually hit her, yelled at her, and cried at her the last time she went off. She even confessed to her in the fit of rage.
After that incident, Jane never left Clementine anymore.
"Yes, of course. What do you expect? It's been 2 years since we're together, Jane. 2. Fucking. Years. Can you imagine how hard was it to hold my urge back? And to remember how you go off with someone like that... Luke in the first place."
Ah. That incident. Jane was furious at herself too. Two things: 1. She actually need to let off some steam knowing how hard it was to be around Clementine like that; 2. So that she would set herself right, she would have sex with a man that she have zero, or even negative, feelings towards. It was a mistake, but she did not quite regret it. Otherwise, Jane wouldn't see Clementine being jealous about a deadman that have sex with her instead of her, for the first time after everything happened.
It was cute to see Clementine being jealous.
And Clementine had no time to be jealous.
They were constantly running away from death, running away from harm, and running to get to shelter. There was no time to even talk about their relationship, especially when there's a group around them. Jane wasn't the type to fit into the group, but Clementine was always the star of the group, the charismatic and morally good leader that everyone would follow... every single time when they met a group.
