Hi, my name is Nick I am a 21-year-old male university student studying to become an architect. My sister is 24-year-old studying at a university to become a fashion designer. My mum is from Thailand and my dad is half Japanese and half Korean. I have two friends Olivia and Tony. They are studying at the same university as me. Olivia is studying to be a Botany and Tony is studying to be a Chemical Engineer. And this is how I'm reborn into another world.
Today my friend is congregating me for coming first on the best Skyscraper design. My design of the Skyscraper was going to be made from wood because of it more Eco-friendly and the Skyscraper can become a living garden it was the bast day of my life. But that day, I was heading back home from the party, I was killed by someone.
The killer whispers "it should have been me up there, why is it you up there it should have been me".
When he finished he keep stabbing in the abdomen after that he ran away leaving me to die. He could have ended my suffering but he left me to die to have a slow painful death to make me feel abandonment to suffered alone. As I continue to bleed from my abdomen I slowly lose consciousness and slowly closing my eyes. When I open my eyes I was put behind bars and people around me dress differently but then I look at my self I'm only wearing dirty cloth, wait I also have boobs I quickly run to a barred of water it turns out that I'm a woman. As I look closely at my reflection I have rainbow colour eyes like an insect eye with purple hair and my skin tone is like Vanilla but I don't know how old this body is maybe 16 or 18? Suddenly two guys walk up to me with a rope and tied my hands
"where are we going?" I ask
"your being sold" The two guys reply
I was quickly dragged to meet the person who bought me. His name is Lancelot but people call him Lance for short. He has dark blue hair and light green eyes also handsome any woman that looks at him would fall for him. I'm standing across from him but he smells like he been smoking and I can also smell drug or medicine from him. The two guys give the rope to him, he quickly dragged me to a carriage. Once we in the carriage he unties me
" Why did you buy me?" I ask him
" It simple, for experiments" Lance reply
I look at him with a worried face he glances back now it awkward so I look through the window seeing the city. The city looks like it was in the High Middle Age period that I learn from high school.
" Sorry to ask but what year is it?" I ask him
" It year 1022" he responds
" Look like we here" he notify
As I look outside the window I saw a mansion. A mansion that builds from stone and ditch of water for farming and defending. While I was daydreaming Lance order the maids to clean me up. The maids gap my hand and ran straight to the bath to get me to wash up, They hand me a maid uniform wear and show me around the mansion, the kitchen, the garden, the library, the experiment room, and finally the room that I'll be sleeping in. It old cover with spider webs and a lot of dust so I guess I'll have to start cleaning right away before I go to sleep.
Next morning
I wake up early in the morning to get ready for the day. I walk into the kitchen looking for something to eat the maid suddenly show up in front of me, handing me breakfast she told me after I finish eating go to the experiment room. Breakfast wasn't that nice this some barley bread and band soup after I finish eating I head straight to the experiment room while I was heading to the experiment room I hurt some maid talking about me
" Why are we wasting food on this slave girl," said one of the maids
" she probably going to die within a week anyway haha" one of the maid's laughs
" Yeah she probably going to die like the other slave" one of the maids giggle
I was shocked by listening to the maid's conversation that I'm not the only one that gone thought this. I was scared of having to go the experiment how am I going to survive this I told myself to put my emotion aside and go thought the experiment then I'll find a way to survive in this world. As I walk into the experiment room I see lance waiting for me.
" Come, sit here" he ordered
" Yes" I answer calmly
He hands me a drink it green.
" drink it" he ordered.
This is when told my self here we go. As I take a sip of the green liquid I suddenly feel burning pain and irritation around my mouth and throat. I was shocked by the burning pain I end up dropping the cup of poison. Lance gabbing the cup forcing me to drink more poison. The burning pain in my mouth, throat, and my digestive tract are like being bake inside out. My body just couldn't take it and end up vomiting it out.
" Guess that is enough for the day," he says it like it not his first time doing it.
Lance give me another drink I hesitate to drink it but he told me its painkiller. I take a sip just to be safe and then finishing it. My condition has gotten better but the painkiller only calms the symptoms I can still feel the burning pain without the painkiller I don't think I can talk or breath but I don't know how long the painkiller would last.
" Be ready for tomorrow you should use your time wisely" he advises.
" Yes" I answer
As I walk out of the room I decided to go to the library to find out about this world and to find a better treatment for my illnesses. What I find out about this world was that there 3 kingdoms, The Sinyeong empire up north, The kingdom of Prakasa Registaan in the south, and the kingdom that I'm in is the kingdom of Ignis Gelaveth. The library doesn't have a lot of information about the kingdom the only information I got was from a map. The books in the library are all about poisonous plants I think I found some plants that could help calm my symptoms like the Azure raindrop plant in the books it says that it helps with burns and digestive tract but it has a side effect that lower your blood pressure making you more tired. Another plant that I find polar nightshade berry that can be used as an antidote against the poison inside me. So I decided to head into the forest to look for the plants as I'm gathering the plants I also find the rock fruit that grows next to the river. The fruit is poisonous but it has a lot of starches maybe I can find a way to get rid of the poison maybe I can turn it into flour not only that I found some huge freshwater shellfish but in the books, it said that it tastes disgusting and poisonous mushrooms. As I walk back to the mansion I became more aware of the maid conversation.
" Hey, how long do you think that slave girl can endure?" One of the maid's sadists said.
" I don't know probably a week haha" The maid's giggle.
" I wonder what are master would do to that slave girl haha..." The maid's giggle more.
I'm done listening so I head straight to the kitchen to prepare to make medicinal food from the poisonous plants and the shellfish. I fermented the rock fruits and drying it out then grinding it into flours. What I'm making is udon with the shellfish as the soup with dry poisonous mushrooms and tempera. After finishing eating the udon I can feel the effect of the plants I feel better already I need to write this down. So I wrote how to removed the poison or reduce the poison effect on the body I know this because of my friend Olivia and also the knowledge of my past life back then I was a very curious person. I was good at everything but there a problem I try too hard and get exhausted so I need to take care of myself more but I need to focus on surviving so I decided to go to sleep.
As the experiment went by days, weeks, and now a month I been living in this world for a month. Some of the maids started to questions why I'm still alive.
" Why is that slave-girl still alive, slaves that had gone thought the experiment only live for a week why is she not dead" one of the maid's whisper.
" I don't know did our master gone soft?" She questions.
" But did you know our master has been drinking a lot lately" One of the maid's worried look on her face.
I never care about the conversation the only thing I care about was surviving. I headed to the experiment room I sit there and waited for Lance. Lance walk in with an angry face he gives me a drink.
" another poison drink," I ask him.
" no" he answers.
Well down it goes I started to drink it. The elixir started to make me feel light-headed and it hard to keep my eyes open as I was about to fall into a deep sleep I hear Lance talking.
" I don't need you any more, time to put the old tool back where it belongs" he mumbled.
I started to wake up from my deep sleep and wondering where I am Not only that but I finally realise that all I have done was for nothing I just end up being abandon to suffer alone no I don't want to be abandoned, I don't want to suffer alone, I don't want to die here all alone. This is all his fault I'll make him feel pain but deep down I pity him. He must have found out all the writing that I been doing all of his hard work was destroy by me. As I stroll around the poison forest. 90% of the wildlife in the poison forest are poisonous or venomous Lance probably wanted me to die here. So I decided to head deeper into the forest what I discovered was a fairy tree. A Fairy tree is an ancient tree release a lot of mana in its surrounding flourishing the land. As I walk closer to the tree I notice that there scroll and a katana. I pick up the scroll and read it the scroll talks about the fairy dance it says that it allows you to dance forever and allowing you to be free not even the earth or the sky can bring it down. I pick up the katana and unsheath it just look like a normal katana. So I decided to practice the fairy dance. 6 month later I have completed the fairy dance also I did not only practice the fairy dance I also produce poisons that can even kill a dragon. The fairy dance training is about putting your body into a dangerous environment like in the water, in a low oxygen place, in a zero-gravity place, and fighting a dangerous animal. I modified the fairy dance to be like fighting style where you use the enemy attack to injurious them. As I tour around the poison forest I discovered a dragon. I walk calmly to the dragon and said.
" Hey, dragon get out for the forest or you will die by my hand"
" hahaha, you gonna kill me? a weak human like you think you can kill me do you know how I am, I'm Varsha Zeudra the dragon that can control the weather, how about this I'll give you one chance to hit me how about that weak human" the dragon laugh.
" Ok then, Lotus strike, flash sting!" I shouted.
Striking the dragon in a flash in six different areas injecting poison into the dragon body.
" I barely feel any pain," said the dragon talking down at me.
but the dragon suddenly vomiting up blood and foam started to appear in the dragon mouth.
" What did you do to me-" the dragon last breath.
You see the more I strike my enemy the more toxic my poison become I called it Catalyst I also modified the fairy dance I wonder what should I call it? Hmm, Dance of the jellyfish blooming lotus oh wait you can't hear me cause your dead. To be continued.
Your introduction sets up the characters and then ends with a hook that readers need to continue reading to get the answer to. Nice work, Nini!
ReplyDeleteGood to see words like 'notify' 'ordered' 'answered' etc. instead of 'said' being overused.
Good to see simile used in your writing, too. ("like vanilla")
You've described the characters pretty well. Perhaps the next step would be to describe a location in the story. Help the reader to imagine what the poison forest is like (using the five senses)
Hello Nini,
ReplyDeleteI really like the creativity of your story, the guy turning into a female was a very awesome thought. The description of your writing is good as well I was able to imagine the situations and the characters. If you were to continue writing what would you write about?
Thanks, Nidhi.
