3 This is Reality

It's dark I can't see...

"People who don't value themselves as a tool is nothing but a disgrace to humanity"

I'm hearing things again

*I woke up from the floor*

"Last night I really have a bad nightmare, I wonder what was it again?" I thought to myself as I woke up from the floor where I slept.

"my books arranged on this bookshelf are scattered everywhere"

"My room, its all messed up"

I took a look into my watch seeing It's noon (12:00 AM)

Needless to say, I walk towards a window right next to my bed

As I slowly walk, my eyes gradually becomes clearer and clearer and began to see some green plants, trees, and wild birds.

"Is this still the country I live in? Japan?"

--------

This is a big problem

"This can't be happening! My house is in a Forest! I can't believe that what happened last night is real!" I thought to myself disagreeing with what I have seen.

I open my door to confirm that everything I'm seeing here inside my room is not an imagination.

BUT IT'S 100% REAL

There's grass everywhere, bushes and the trees are slender and tall as 8 meters high. The fruits hanging from the trees looks like an appetizing treat that i can smell its sweet aroma far from here. Its REAL

I tried slapping my face thinking it is a dream, but its not.

"Well.., I guess I can't do anything only by myself" I tried to calm down myself and decided to accept reality as it is.

----

Judging from the situation, I decided to begin locating the north, east, south, and west direction but without any compass to use to determine it, I used my working analog watch to use as one of it.

I hold my watch horizontally, Point the hour hand in the direction of the sun, Bisect the angle between the hour hand and the 12 'oclock, Draw an imaginary line; the smallest area is south, the largest area will be the north; this method only works if I'm in northern hemisphere which looks like where I'm in after examining where the sun is moving from which is the east.

I started to pack some random things here in my room like my bike because someday I'm gonna run out of food.

"Well, let's see... A tent, a bike, canned food, ramen and a carbonated drink is all I have." Checking things outside my room

"I think I should bought some of the small clothes as a fire starter or anything like that"

<5 minutes later>

"Done" I sigh

Turning my back; My room suddenly dissapears leaving me and my things alone here in this forest.

"Well nothing can do about it" I ignored the situation

----

hearing the footstep of a horse increasing as it runs, I hide into the bushes

"Find the princess! find her!" One of the five men shouted riding in a brown horse

Princess? Well, I guess its not my problem. I think it's better avoiding the "lost princess" stuff.

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

It's been 3 minutes since I hid from the bushes and I think they have gotten away from me.

I stood up and examined the tracks of the horses which shows that they came from the east.

"Don't move" Someone greeted me with badly sharpened knife next to my neck.

I could hear that this person voice sounds like a child

"Don't look back or else you will die." She said

"This got to be one of those" I thought, thinking a loot thief

Judging from this situation, I can knock her down with ease, but a second later I decided to play with her as a victim and so negotiate with her

"Umm...What is your problem, your honor?" I ask guessing if she is the stuff I called the "lost princess".

"Who are you, What is your name, Why are you here?" are the words she asks me.

At this time I need to lie about myself and why I'm here.

"Umm... I'm Werner Brownie 20 years o--"

"And then?" she asks again

"I'm here as a merc- i mean as a traveler" I answered

"Ohh... so you are not a guardian?" she questioned me

"Guardian? I'm not" What the heck is a guardian

"Well anyway you can turn back now," she told me as she removes her knife from my neck.
