Otherworldly Demons [A LitRPG and Isekai story]

Chapter 2 Lucy Austin

Woof!? AWOOOOOO!

Ash then turned his gaze in the direction where the source of the voice was coming from. He found a young woman, no older than fifteen years old.

She has black and messy bobbed-cut hair with a few traces of a dark substance, maybe dirt, on top of her forehead. After seeing Ash, her blue eyes glistened like jewels. A smile blossomed on her face, which emphasized her dimpled cheeks. She was undoubtedly attractive.

She still looked pretty even though she was wearing a brown tunic, but it was too large for her size, as it reached a few inches below her hips and almost touched her knees. Her footwear appeared nice, but it was already worn and covered with dirt, suggesting how difficult her journey must have been.

Ash, on the other hand, was supposed to use his next in-game name of choice, "The Origin."

But he was interrupted by the young woman.

He was still able to read and scour the translucent character interface window in search of a "change name" or an "edit name" feature, but was disappointed when he saw none, reminding him once again what was robbed away from him—the chance to have a cool username.

No!

Woof!

Not knowing the creature's dilemma, the young woman burst into tears as she rushed to hug the little canine! She kneeled frantically, scooped him up like an ice cream, and cradled him gently.

She spun around a few times while giggling. while the one being carried was rattled and frightened.

Ash couldn't even dodge in time. He just let himself be carried as the young woman jumped up and down, bobbing his head up and down uncontrollably. He felt something wet touching his fur and spreading onto his skin, so he hoped it was just her wet tears.

Help! Somebody! Anybody! Help! She is wiping something off my back! Please let it not be snot!

Arf! Arf! Arf! Woof! Arf! Awooo!

She finally stopped as she lifted him to her eye-level and exclaimed, "There you are!"

"I've been looking everywhere for you! What are you doing out here? All alone? Your happy place was supposed to be in the other direction, by the river. Why did you come here!? Are you okay? You didn't get hit by that storm last night, did you? Why are you so dirty? There's dirt all over you! Haha, you look like you played here for days. Haha. Hihihi!"

The young woman eerily chuckled at different pitches, letting everyone in the forest know how happy she was. Although she looked like it, she was indeed exhausted.

She hugged the dirt-covered canine again as he struggle to break free. But all of these were irrelevant to the young woman. She wore a smile with life slowly coming back to her eyes. She kept on talking a little more while the little canine was still processing things in its small head.

With his eyes unsure of what was happening, Ash thought to himself, Don't activate your baby voice on me. I'm not a baby! Who are you? What did you say? You were looking for me. So I didn't spawn out of the soil?

That's a good thing. Right?

That would mean I wouldn't be hunted for my experience points. Is she the owner of this wolf cub? That would explain my level. She would use the previous owner of this body to hunt food for her.

What is it doing out here all alone? Ash thought internally as he pondered how the wolf cub got into the middle of nowhere only for the young woman to come and get it. Did someone attack it? By a bigger wolf? No one was around when he woke up.
