SILENT BUTTERFLY (Gen x Female!Reader)

CHAPTER 1: Stone World

{Nobody's POV}

A girl with long black hair in a ponytail, was jumping from tree to tree, while looking around for something to hunt down with the bow and arrows that she made herself. Her name was L/N Y/N.

She suddenly stopped, as she could've sworn that she heard someone talking. That meant only one thing. She was not alone in this Stone World.

She then continued jumping to get closer to the voice. She stopped, once she saw a man. He was a tall, muscular young man with spiky brown hair, thick eyebrows, and two vertical stone markings, one of which starts at his hairline above his left eye and reaches down underneath it, and the other one located under his right eye. He wore a 2-piece, sleeveless cloak that reaches past his knees and is tied together with a rope, and primitive boots. He also had a basket full of mushrooms on his back.

The man looked around, as he came across some grapevines.

"Hey, they're wild. Are these edible?" The man questioned, as he reached up to cut a bunch.

"Thinking won't help. Eating some will!" The man exclaimed, as he went to take a bite.

"Bitter." The girl said in her head.

The man took a bite and his face scrunched up immediately. He backed up and started coughing, while covering his mouth.

The man suddenly noticed a familiar statue from afar. Y/N followed his gaze to see him staring at the statue of a person, who was known as the Strongest High School Primate.

"I've seen him on TV before. He's the "Strongest Primate High-Schooler", Shishio Tsukasa. It happened to him, too?" The man said.

Y/N wasn't sure, If she should reveal herself or not. Plus, the man didn't seem like a threat.

She reached into her pocket and took out a coin that was given to her by her adopted parents. She had difficulties when it came talking to others, making decisions by herself and repressed her emotions as a defense mechanism. In order to help rectify this, her adoptive parents gave her a coin to flip to decide, which path to follow, when she is not sure about her decision or what to do. The only times, when she does not use the coin is whatever she is working or simply doing any of her jobs.

Which is why right now, she was going to decide, if she should reveal herself to the man or not. Head meant "Yes". Tails meant "No". She then tossed it, before grabbing it to see at what it landed.

Heads.

She then casually jumped from the branch that she was standing on. As a result, the man quickly turned around and saw her.

"Woah! There's actually someone else!" The man exclaimed with a relieved tone.

Y/N simply smiled, while looking at him. Before she bowed down to him and spoke.

"I'm L/N Y/N. Are you here by yourself?" She asked.

"I'm Oki Taiju! You don't have to bow down! And no, I'm not alone." He answered to her with a loud tone.

"He's sure very energetic." The girl thought.

"How about you join us?" Taiju then asked, hoping she would agree.

Y/N kept looking at him for a few seconds, before she took out her coin again. In which, Taiju looked at her with both curiousity and confusion.

She tossed it in the air, grabbed it and saw that, once again, it landed on Heads.

"Okay. Lead the way." She simply said, as she looked at him, still smiling.

"That's great! Although, I first need to finish looking for some food. Is it okay, if you wait here, until I finish?" Taiju asked.
