Otherworldly Demons [A LitRPG and Isekai story]

Chapter 7 Updated Interface

"You should've died."

Click.

The door snapped shut, leaving Ash alone to contemplate.

His eyes were still closed, but he was shaken to his very core. A flurry of unwanted thoughts and speculations devastated through his mind.

What did she just say? Did she just say that I shouldn't be alive? No way, right? Who are you kidding, Ash? She just said that I shouldn't be here on this world, living and breathing this air. I should just come back to where I came from!

Maybe she's the one who left Ash in the middle of the woods! That would explain why she knew I was supposed to be dead. She left the poor dog there to die!

No, no, no. Calm down. Breath in. Breath out. Phew. There's no way she would know. Even if she has [Identify], which is highly unlikely, my name should display as Ash, which was Lucy's dog.

Well, I'm not exactly her "dog," but, hell! You get the point! Ash wiped off a cold sweat as he gathered his courage.

Ash lifted his eyelids, then quickly closed them again. After a short while, he sensed no movement and slightly opened his eyes again. His pupils swept through his point of view and found no one as he released a silent sigh.

All clear.

Ash lifted his body up and stood on all fours. He was now a Corgi, with a furry tail lightly wagging behind him. Despite his annoyance about being forced into one, he was both excited and apprehensive about being in another world.

As it was now around seven in the morning, the sun just had the right amount of angle to shed some light into the room.

He was inside a three-by-four-meter cozy bedroom with a welcoming atmosphere.

Rumble...

Tsk, I wonder why I'm not thirsty anymore, but now I'm hungry. I haven't eaten anything since I got here. I need food.

Ash thought and remembered something and thought, Is Lucy okay? Where did she go?

Underneath, Ash discovered folded-up blankets that had been improvised into a bed suited for his width. To his left stood a wooden bed with a mattress that, when combined, was twice his height.

It's weird that everything appears to be so big. I guess I better get used to this height now.

A window next to the bed provided just enough light to illuminate the room. The faded pink wallpaper indicated that this house, or at least this room, had seen its fair share of change with time. Ash concluded that this was Lucy's room.

Because the bed was already at eye level, Ash could peek underneath and spot an old wooden training sword. It has a few cracks, dents, and slash marks.

Lucy is a warrior, then. Wait, if I remember correctly, she did not have a class, or maybe I just missed it. Perhaps she is on her way to receiving one. If a class could be acquired, the clue should be with the woman she referred to as her "teacher."

So that means this teacher's a true warrior, or perhaps a knight? I still can't tell. If Lucy's fighting and dodging abilities are merely the tip of the iceberg, how superb is her swordsmanship that she can anticipate that beast's attack pattern and respond effectively?

Let me see my stats again. Interface!

Woof!
