1 Reincarnated

Slam! The last thing I feel is the excruciating pain of a bus hitting my back before I spiraled into darkness. Minutes pass as I slowly lose consciousness. Right before I'm about to pass out I see red letters running across my eyes. "Welcome to the Rose Spirit." An automated voice sounds. "You have been selected to participate in the Rose Spirit challenge." It continues. "Huh? What's happening!" I yell my voice echoing in the darkness. "Instructions will be given when you land onto your designated world. Initiating teleportation." Before I can ask any more questions the automated voice disappears. Slowly the world loads in pixelated before it colors in. I'm sitting on the cobblestone road in a market place. People are milling around and the sweet scent of bread wafts to my nose. Trumpets sound behind me announcing the arrival of the royal carriage. "Here comes the 12th prince of Arrunicia!" The guards shout diligently. The people quickly clear out of the roads as the royal carriage comes into sight. Standing I quickly brush off the dirt from my dress...wait...dress?! Looking down at myself I see a ugly green colored dress and smelled faintly of cows. Ugh yuck, I'm definitely going to change when I get home. While I had been inspecting my dress I failed to see the royal carriage coming up from behind me. "Miss! May I ask you why you aren't stepping aside?" The announcer said looking down on me. Startled, I quietly stepped aside and watched as the carriage continued down the road. Whispers broke out around me and I quickly hid my face from embarrassment. Looking down at the ground I pick up the hem of my dress and sprint over to the empty alley and sit down on a barrel. I looked at my wrist, as a habit of checking the time. In replacement of my watch a list of writing faded onto my wrist.

Purpose: Kill the 12th prince

Rank: Red Rose

If you fail to fulfill your purpose you will never see your family again for you will be teleported to the void forever. "H-huh!? Isn't the 12th prince the one that just passed by?" I think recalling the encounter. "I have to kill him?! Oh no." I say groaning. Thoughts raced across my mind about the void, 12th prince and what a red rose meant. My family! Where are they!?. Tired of the games I tried calling out to the automated voice. "Hello?~ Hey! I didn't sign up for this, bring me back to my world! Well I suppose I'm dead actually in my world." I say flatly. Sighing I get up from the barrel. I guess I'll just have to kill the 12th prince...but how? Picking up the hem of the dress I walked out into the daylight and over to the smell of bread that had allured me when I dropped into this world. Right next to the bakery I saw a big red sign saying 'SELECTION OF BRIDE FOR 12TH PRINCE: PARTICIPATION EARNS 200 GOLD COINS IF INTERESTED HEAD TO THE PALACE.' Curious, I peered at the sign. Suddenly an idea popped up in my head. Maybe I should join the selection! Then I could kill the 12th prince and earn whatever currency they have!. Grinning I mentally patted myself on the back. In a better mood I started asking around if people knew where the palace was. All of them stared at me oddly before walking away without a word. Am I doing something wrong? Shaking my head I walk out of the marketplace and see a shining castle far away in the distance. Oh…I am so dumb. I think slapping my forehead. Yawning I start off to the palace.~
