Magic Marbles

chapter 1

You were just one in a million out there. You weren't that smart, nor were you talented. You weren't athletic, nor did you like socializing. You always prefer to be alone.

You felt safer, comfortable. Others saw you as a shy, quiet girl. They didn't bother talking or befriending you. You weren't pretty like the others, nor did you have redeeming qualities that they know of. To them, you're just a nobody.

All out your life, you were alone. You got used to it, at first, it hurts. But now, you love it. Due to you being always alone, you had one day gotten bored and found out about a game. A game called UNDERTALE.

Oh how you adore the game. It was really all you could wish for. You felt like you belong somewhere there. So that's why, when you were moving to the mansion your uncle left you, you passed by an alley. There were signs, pointing in.

"come to saozik's magic antic shop!"

You were a curious girl. You didn't think of how you acted and went head on without a plan. You were reckless.

You headed to the alley, everything was dark, but something told you to go forward, despite the dark,so you did. You went further, going far far away from the entrance of the alley. You only realized you were at the antic shop when you heard a clap, and the lights around you flickered open. You covered your eyes, wincing at the change of brightness.

Once you're all set, you glance around. There were dozens of items here, from clocks, to brooms, to potions and marbles.

"Hello customer!" a rather loud ecstatic yell was heard behind you, causing you to yelp and aim to punch the male, who only side stepped and avoided the attack.

"My, that was quite the punch you have there! You almost hit me, Haha!" Now that you got a better look of the male, you examined him. He was giving off mix vibes. A huge smile was plastered on his face, showing he wasn't a threat yet his red ruby eyes shone differently. It held malice, amusement, despair.

He had long red hair, some covering his face, while the others are tied in a loose ponytail. What he wore consisted of red. It weirdly suited him yet you decided not to voice out your opinion.

"Welcome to my antic shop, I am Saozik, yet others call me Sao." He introduced himself with you nodding along and stating your own name.

"Well, Miss (Y/N), What might interest such a fine lady in my shop?"

You looked around, trying to see all the items that might interest you. Your eyes catch the marbles, as the transparent side of it, emitting light.

"Ah, I see you have eyes on the marbles, hum?" you nodded as you continued to stare at the marbles. It was as if something was advising you, telling you to get it.

"Splendid choice,come along now!" He said, grabbing the marbles, who were all gently placed in a small bag, that was placed in a box filled with lots of such things such as feather.

"Do beware my dear. For once you drop it, there might be a surprise you might grow to hate or love , hahahaha!" Saozik laughed, as you paid for the marbles. For some reason you can feel shiver running down your spine as you stared at the box in hand, leaving the ally and focusing back on your main task, going to your uncle's mansion.
