Chapter 1
Chapter 1 : Vierra Maverick
After I took some time to calm my head, I looked closely at the book that had a dark brown leather cover.
On the first page, it said that this ‘girl’, the owner of the diary I assume, was travelling from a village that far from the east after both her parents passed away in an accident.
She was 15 years old and had no other relatives as both her parents were orphans.
That village was being abandoned by the villagers because of the landslide, which is the incident that killed both of her parents.
“The village only has few older people and no other children or young people. I am the only young one there and the older people told me to go on a journey to get a better life.”
I froze for a moment and reread all the words. I shake my head and read the next page.
“I walk on foot for a few days, at night I will climb a tree to sleep and in the morning I will start walking and eat some plant that is edible. Yesterday I helped a middle aged man who was fainting on the side road. He got weak because of dehydration with the hot weather”.
“Is it possible that I was reincarnated in this young girl's body?”
But that thought is ridiculous for me and I just continue reading.
“For some reason, I get exhausted and need some rest. The generous man offered to let me stay at his Inn. He and his wife insist on letting my body have proper rest. They asked me to let them know if I need anything.”
This is for sure not real. I am reincarnated in someone else's body. Does this mean that I will be living on as this girl from now on?
“Sir Boru and Madame Anne, as warm as their hearts, I finally get some proper rest. I wonder why this heart feels so heavy and I feel hard to breathe. Well, tomorrow I will ask them if I could work at this Inn as payment for staying here tonight.”
I flip to the other page, it seems the rest is still a blank page. This girl only started her journey a week ago, and she only wrote for two pages. She is indeed a kind hearted girl.
A piece of paper fell from the diary. It has some familiar handwriting on it. My eyebrows almost meet as I read every word.
‘It is a sad thing as the girl’s soul will not be able to continue her journey, but her soul will have a better place with the family she loves. P/s your mental age will be 25 years old. It is wise to take this into consideration when you interact with others. Hohohoho (>_<)’
I crushed the piece of paper in my hand. Even without any memories from the past, I still can curse very well. For some reason I got very annoyed but soon I fell back into a deep sleep.
I was sweeping the fallen leaves in the front yard of the Inn when the wind blew it all over again.
“Again? It's the fourth time now.”
Sighed.
It has been three days since I started working and living at the Laughing Cloud Inn.
I asked Sir Boru and Madame Anne to let me stay and work here until I know what I should do with my life.
Everything is new in my eyes and my mind is still processing about this unknown world. Madame Anne and Sir Boru are so happy to have me here.
Since there are only two of them running the inn, a helping hand is welcomed by them.
“V… It is hot outside. Come in for a while and have a drink.”
Madam Anne smiled and her hand waved gently at me. She looked so tiny in those big windows.
“Coming…”
I walk into the main door that is triple of my height. It is quite heavy for me to pull the door every time I need to go out and get in the inn.
Sir Boru let the door open in the daylight for me as he worried that I might hurt myself if I used my small body against a big door. I'm overwhelmed by their kindness.
“Whereas Sir Boru, I didn’t see him this morning?”
“He goes to his friend's house and collects some food.”
“I see… Are there any villages around? As far as my eyes can see, there is no house or building around this inn.”
It is a wide empty field that is surrounded by mountains and dark forest. It is like this inn was in the middle of a soccer field that has no ends.
Wait… Did I just mention soccer?
“Well it’s not like big villages but there’s few near the forest not far from here. Do you wanna know what world you are living in?”
In the middle of having a war of thought in my head, Madam Anne seems flustered by the look in my face.
“Well this is your first time going out from your hometown and no one has told you anything right?”
I just nodded at Madame Anne's words. It is true that I am still clueless about this world.
“There were five Big Powerful Empires in this World Of Lost and Found, Ouranos Kingdom and Lagoon City which is a Human base Kingdom… The Dranthia Empire has mixed races and creatures. Demon territory and Beastland..”
“…”
Since I don’t have any memories regarding my past life, I wonder if all the creatures were either new or familiar with me.
“This inn, or this land precisely, was in the middle of Wolaf. In other words, to get through to another land, they need to passed this land.”
“Wolaf? Is it for World Of Lost And Found?”
Madam Anne smiled gently at my question and nodded.
“They will come here to take a rest or fill their pack for food and necessity.”
Just as Madame Anne finished her words, there was a knocking sound at the counter.
“Hello there… Is there any room tonight? I need 2 rooms for 4 people please.”
“Pardon me gentleman for not noticing you. We have plenty of empty rooms.”
Madame Anne walks gracefully even as she speeds up her pace.
I look outside the window, there are two women and a man standing in front of the door. With no horse or carriage, it seems there is walking in this journey.
I wonder which empire they are from and heading too.
I passed by the counter, gave a nod to the man that will be our guest tonight and smiled at Madam Anne and told her I will be at the kitchen.
