Parallel Worlds: Waking Up as a Famous Actress

Chapter 1

"Majo, can you clean the classroom by yourself this time?" The words broke Majo's focus, making her look up from her task. It was the popular student from the university.

"We've got something really important to do," they said, a playful spark in their eyes. Majo was used to their habit of avoiding work, often for not-so-serious things. Although she thought their "important task" might just be shopping or something unimportant, she nodded. Dealing with them usually caused more frustration than it was worth.

Once they left with a casual "thanks, Majo," she let out a small sigh of relief. Being alone was better for her – a place where she could work faster without distractions. Her thoughts flowed freely, and she got back to cleaning with renewed energy.

In the softening afternoon light, Majo hummed a calming song, her voice blending with the gentle sweep of the broom. Time felt like it was bending, and before she realized it, the cleaning was done. She neatly put away the cleaning tools, feeling accomplished.

As she slung her bag over her shoulder, getting ready to leave, she noticed something shiny under the teacher's desk. There was a forgotten piece of paper lying there. Curiosity sparked within Majo, and she picked up the paper, unfolding it to see letters that shimmered in gold ink.

"Ever wondered what your other self is up to? Scan the QR code below to find out."

Majo smirked. It seemed like a typical trick to get people's attention. She tucked the paper into her bag and walked out into the hallway.

Before going back to her room, she made a quick stop at the nearby store to buy dinner. After a friendly greeting to the dormitory staff, she went up to her room.

The evening followed its usual routine – dinner, tidying up, and the sound of pencil scratching on paper as Majo worked on her assignments. In the quiet moments, her fingers brushed against the folded paper she had picked up earlier. She remembered. It was the same paper. With a sense of curiosity, she unfolded it again.

Thinking of it as a fun distraction, Majo scanned the QR code with her phone, half-expecting an ad or a simple game. But as the code was scanned, everything around her seemed to blur. Fatigue washed over her, and her head rested on the desk.

Just before her vision faded to darkness, her phone screen lit up brightly. Shining letters appeared on the screen, along with an exciting feeling.

"WELCOME TO THE PARALLEL WORLD."

Darkness surrounded Majo, and she felt herself slipping away into an unknown journey, her destiny connected to the mysterious world waiting for her on the other side.
