Chapter 1 - Fire & The new beginning

"Hmm~~ Hmm~~ Hmm~~" *humming*
'Ahh~' showering after a long day is the best! I'm so tired today. Why the hell is today's lecture so damn long! I need breaks too you know. Hmph!'
'Whatever. I'm gonna have my beauty sleep tonight! I'm gonna sleep like a log!'

*cracking~ cracking~*

"Eh, what's that sound?"

Feeling that I need to at least check it out; I grab my towel, wrap it around my body and dash out of my bathroom.

Looking around my apartment, I see all RED. 'This is bad.' I cursed inside my head. Before I even react, it's all turned black. Darkness enveloped me.

I feel the coldness surrounding my body and the dampness of the grass under me. 'Weird. Shouldn't this be my apartment complex? or hospital at least?'

Opening my eyes, I was greeted by the hollow forest and the eerieness of the night. Great. I'm glad I got isekai-ed but not in this condition. Other people got isekai-ed into a beautiful castle or a wealthy family at least. And here am I. Stuck in this vast forest and the middle of the night at that. And the worst part, in only my bath towel?! Just great.

'Thinking back, there must be some a**hole putting the fire at the apartment complex, causing my death. Damn him or her. No. This is not a time for this. Let's think positively. On the brighter side, I am free from the apartment loan. I also didn't need to pay for my college anymore. Well, all good then. There is no one to return to in that world anyway

I'm not the type to dwell on the past. But, waking up in a weird place just after your death is so out of it. It does feel weird. Thinking ahead, I must adapt myself to this new world. Don't wanna be a freak here.

Dusting my only piece of cloth I own, 'Ahh. I'm so poor right now I scanned my surroundings. Sure enough, there are no humans around. But there is no guarantee that the danger lurks around. Especially in the middle of the night. I walked around the forest hoping to stumble upon some natural shelter. 'Damn it. There are no caves around. Should I just sleep on the ground like this? No, no, no. That is only done by an idiot. Let's search for a climbable tree then.' After a short walking period, I stumble into a vast field with a few trees. I think it will be a good spot since I still will be able to see around me if wild animals are approaching. After confirming there is no danger around, I climb up, lying on the branch, and begin to doze off. I need it. Whatever may come tomorrow, let's just brace it up. But before that, just let me have my beauty sleep.

Morning comes. And I am still sleeping deeply. Not caring that my bed was a hard branch or there was no quilt to cover my body for the coldness of the night.
I woke up from my slumber as I was startled by a scream. 'There goes my beauty sleep. Why the people in this world are so ignorant about the importance of sleep? Have you never got hella tired before?! I just arrived in this world. Just give me some sleep! Ughh. This can't be happening. I just want to sleep!! Why?!'
Grumbling. I straighten my body to find the f*cker who has disturbed my sleep.
'Oh my god! Is that wolves? Why it is so big?!' Shocked. I closed my mouth and tried to make my presence as invisible as possible. I have died once. There is nowhere in hell I would waste it this time.
In front of the wolves, a girl is running while screaming hysterically. 'Oh, there it is. The culprit! The damn beauty sleep thief!!'

I watched her from afar. Not having a second thought to help her whatsoever. Well, I did not have the strength nor energy to do that. I could be the next to die if I help her mindlessly. While I'm occupied by my own thought, a leopard as big as the pack of wolves, suddenly came and start attacking them. The wolves are all dead. 'Impressive' 'Wait, does this normal in the wilderness?  I did not always watcing animals documentaries. So this is all new to me. Bu, I think it's weird for a single leopard to attack a pack of wolves. Should'nt it have a slighter winning chance?' While I'm thinking that Nat Geo Wild's fans will know better than me,

"Hi female, My name is Parker"

Eh, where are that guy coming from? Where is the leopard? And why that I think the line are kinda familiar?

"Arghh! Pervert!!" The girl screamed. Again. Well. That's a given since he is not wearing anything. I would gladly do that to if I were her.

Wait a minute.. I really think I have heard this before. Just where is it? 'Come on brain, do your job please'

Then it hits me. "Beauty & the beasts" I wispered. It all make sense now. The leopard just now is a beastmen, Parker. The girl is Bai Qing Qing, the protagonist. 'Oh hell. Why did it must be a novel that my friends keep bugging me to read!! I did'nt even read it! I only know a bit of the story because my friend keep going on and on telling me about it. Damn it! All hell is gonna break loose.'

After the great entrance of a nude Parker and hella confused female lead introduction, Parker take Qing Qing with him. To the Camel Hump Valley. I saw them walking away from the field to a certain direction but not before Parker smeared mud to Qing Qing face.
'Eww. I will never ever put that near my face. No matter what'

Thinking ahead, I must decide now wether I want to go to Camel Hump Valley or going in other direction hoping to find other village. Or city. This is a world of surviving of the fittest where the strong will win and the weak will keep having the losing end. That's why in this world, women have more that one spouses to ensure their safety from the cruel mother nature or the savage beast that lurks around. The low birth rate of female also lead to this result as man or male is more than woman or female as they are called.

'I did'nt want a dog death. Let's live to the fullest and have a happy life instead. Living on earth are depressing enough for me. I did'nt want to face it again. But before that, I need to form an allience. I need someone trustable to depend on. This world is so foreign for me. Ahh I really want to cry now. All this sh*t are making me emoional. I hate that I'm out of my comfort zone. Phew. It's alright. Let's think carefully. If I go to the Camel Hump Valley, I will came across Qing Qing somehow. I will surely be caught up in the situation that are folding around her. Hmm, alright then, I think it is best to go to the other direction, where I think the Beast City is located. There, I will be more safe and I could start looking for my so called ally. Even though it will be dangerous traveling alone, I think it will be worth it. Plus, I really did'nt want to go to the village.

Alright. To the Beast City we go.
