Adventum Canis

(...It's kind of cold....)

Were my first thoughts as I was falling from that cliff. Surely, there should've been better ways to end this but at the moment it was the first thing that came to mind. As I kept falling, I naturally started to feel fear and the need to try and do something, but even if I tried it was too late to do anything.

It was for the best anyways.

I was simply tired of my life. I was tired of my parents not giving a single fuck about anything that I put effort into. I was tired of failing no matter how hard I tried. And more than anything, I was tired of keeping myself going forward even without a clear goal in mind.

I didn't always hate myself, even so, by jumping off the cliff I was not doing it to end my own life just because I didn't liked my body or my lack of motivation or anything about it. I jumped to save myself from this absolute hellhole that people call real life.

By jumping I thought that I would be able to escape and maybe just find a place that I could proudly say that I belong to. Even if it meant going to hell, after all, I couldn't care less about it. But it turns out God, or whatever is up there, seemed to have other plans for me.

As I was about to reach the floor, I closed my eyes tightly waiting to hit head first into the hard rock floor of the cliff, but I never reached it. I started to feel....Oddly warm. Something wasn't right, I was supossed to feel cold right? It was snowing when I jumped as far as I remember but...Why can't I feel the snow or the rocks?

As I wondered, I opened my eyes and found myself laying in the middle of nowhere. I saw a clear blue sky above me, felt a gentle breeze move my hair in the slightest of manners and I sensed the odd and refreshing feel of grass in between my fingers.

Maybe this was just a last hallucination of my brain as I was dying, or maybe it was another completely different thing. Whatever it was, I could certainly tell that this was the most beautiful and relaxing sight I could ever come across.

I felt some breeze on my legs as well, so I looked down and noticed I wasn't wearing the clothes I put on that very same day. Instead, I was wearing some kind of...Military uniform colored white and gold, with a very flexible skirt and knee-high boots that accompanied the outfit. At my waist, I could notice the familiar weight of a sheath and a blade.

Certainly, I wasn't expecting to find myself in possesion of a weapon, but it was an important part of my hobbies and I really did love practicing Kendo so if this was really a dream, I could somewhat understand why I would have something like that with me.

For now, I decided to take a walk around the plains I was laying at. Certainly, no matter how much I tried, I didn't woke up so my hopes of this being just that, a dream, were going quite low inside my head. I read about a few stories when I was still allowed to read manga, about people being transported into another worlds and that sort of thing.

I can't say that I was particularly interestd in those but they were quite cheap and usually pretty fun to read so it wasn't a surprise I still had quite a few memories about them drilled into my head. So far, it seemed like it was the very same situation since I noticed another strange things.

I couldn't feel my ears at the side of my head, which was incredibly odd and somewhat scary to the point where I started to move my hands around my body trying to see if there was anything else I was lacking. So far I found a fluffly tail on my rearguard and a pair of equally fluffy ears on the top of my head.

"Yup. That about does it."

After feeling it with my own hands and taking into account the many attempts that I tried to wake myself up, my brain was convinced that this was indeed one of those Isekai experiences. Inevitably, I started to rejoice and feel incredibly excited. After all, it meant that I was succesful in my previous attempt against my very own life.

And now I was granted a new opportunity. So I started to look around with determination in my eyes as I felt something burning deep inside me.

Finally, this is what I was hoping for! A escape, at last!
