"Mother, Father ... Grandmother"

I cannot belive on what I'm seeing right now. In front of me, all of my parents are standing but we got separated by a River. I couldn't hear what are they saying but I kinda felt like pulled from the back and my mother were waving her hands to me. Then suddenly, I opened my eyes and suddenly bumped into something hard.

"Ow ow ow ..."
"S-sorry, I thought that was my feeling that you are moving ..."
"Huh? I can understand her language?"
"Hm? What's wrong?"
"Ah N-no ... You can move your body now, right?"
"Yes? Why's that?"
"Then you should go home now, This area is not safe for you guys."
"Huh? Oh! Who are you?! How can you suddenly appeared from the Fountain?!"
"Ah- t-that's ... Anyway, Please don't remember this day!"

As I said it to her, I quickly ran away and when I was far enough from her, I pull out my broom and fly away as far as possible. I didn't want her to follow me too far, else she will be involved in this unknown conflicts.

After I flew far away from that place, My broom suddenly disappeared and made me fell to the ground quite high. But fortunately, I can still casts a wind magic that prevent me from hitting the ground. Then, I noticed that my Mana got consumed quite a lot than usual. Infact when I didn't use any magic, It keeps reducing like there's no stopping. I didn't know what is happening but this might be the effect that I'm on the different world.

"That's right, I have to find her! Maybe she knew what should I do!"

I said that as if I know what to do next or where she is. I just clearly made up that stupid decision and expect that a miracle came up to me. But then I think about it again, This world seems to not have magic. It's kinda weird to think but it is possible. So, I wanted to try to use Magic Detection if I could find any magic presence other than me.

Sadly, I didn't find anyone. Thus, I just keep on wandering on my own. It's night time but I didn't have any place to stay. Well, I could use my magic to get inside some buildings and hopefully I could sleep in it. I don't mind if there's no bed, I just need a shelter incase if there's rain.

Tomorrow morning, I woken up from my slumber as my stomach growls. It's been growling for almost 10 times now. I really forgot that I haven't had a Dinner. I could manage myself for a shelter but foods? I didn't know how to get it in this world. It's not like there's a wild animal that I could get because there are a lot of buildings here and I don't think there's any animals that are edible to eat.

So, I decided to try to find an ocean. It turns out that not far from here, I could see a ship flag that are already departing this early in the morning. So, I try to not get detected by them. When I got myself an empty and hidden place, I use my magic to catch some fishes and then brought it to the land. After that, I use my fire magic to burn them but not too burnt.

After eating it, It's still haven't fill me up but I guess it's better than nothing. Anyway, I don't know what should I do now. I don't have the currencies in this world so I can't buy anything off from it. I also need to find her so that I could get back to our world. But I don't think it's gonna be that easy, isn't it.

Because I kept overthinking it over and over again, I accidentally fell asleep in the forest. A brief moment later, the sky already turned orange. I didn't expect that I will fell asleep that long. Now that my stomach growls again, I really need to find a proper food.

Thus, I went to the Town where I came from, WALKING because my Mana is really at the edge. So, I really wanted to save it up. This is all because I didn't want to my Mana reach 0. Why? Well, The reason is I probably gonna die. Usually, When Mana reached 0, I don't think we will die back in our world. But in this world, I could feel the threats that made me need to taking care of myself REALLY REALLY careful.

When I was walking so sadly, I saw what I believe the Currency in this world. So, I took it as fast as no one could see it and then went to a place with a flashy lights. As to what I know, a lot of lights means a food place in my world. So, When I came in, I saw some kind of box that has a lot of coins in it. I really wanted to get those coins and I didn't realize that I was so close to the glass that made from what I believe the owner of it told me on how to get it. So, I spent all of my money onto that but after 3 buckets of coins, I can't get it.

When it was down to one bucket, I felt stupid. Why would I want to spend at something like this. Then, someone approached me from behind and gave me a tip for winning this game.

When it is on the left, try put out 3 coins."
"Huh? Who are you?!"

I asks very frightening because a Stranger suddenly gave me a tips that I didn't know if it's work or not. I mean she is from this world but I really didn't want to believe it.

"It doesn't matter."
"But if I put it on the left isn't that gonna make it-"
"Trust me."

She said that as if she really wanted me to fell into her trap. But if I think about it again, It does make sense. I'm trying to using my logic to make this really a lot of sense. Then, I just followed her tips and when I inserted 3 coins, The prize immediately fell to the goal and I finally win it. I can't actually believe that I could win this.

No, I win this because of her. I need to at least show my gratefulness to her. But when I turned around, she is already gone. So, I took my prize and leave the place as I look left and right to find her. Then, I spotted her in the distance. I quickly ran towards her and call her but she didn't notice. So, I stopped her by putting my hand onto her shoulder.

"What's wrong?"
"C-Can you ... Help me?"

This might be a way for me to survive in this world. Even if it's humiliating, but this is my only way. Just wait Carlene, I will find you somewhere and we will go back to our world.
