〘 Wake Up. 〙
Your eyes opened instantly, a feathery touch on your wrist interrupted your sleep. The blue sky daunted, something was amiss. Rocks poked your back.
I don't remember sleeping on a bed of rocks.
You sat up and assessed the enormous trees that lined your vision, green everywhere. You lain in a clearing, hard dirt underneath you with small pebbles adding to your discomfort.
What the frickle frackle was going on??
"Is that shit?" You screamed at the doug pile lying to your right. "EW EW EW EW EW! WHERE THE FUCK AM I?"
Your cries disturbed the birds in the treetops, starting you as they cawed and fluttered out of the leaves like a swarm of bees.
〘 Stop screaming. 〙
Within your mind, a curious voice spoke out. Neither masculine nor feminine. Neither old nor young.
"... Who are you?"
〘 An assistance, dear reader. 〙
Reader? You scrunched your nose and stood up patting away the dirt on your pyjamas.
〘 Indeed. You, dear reader, are chosen as a player to participate in this game. 〙
"What game?" Birds twittering overhead.
〘 You see, in this world, something went awry once a upon a time. And it needed to be fixed. You have been chosen to bringforth peace in the future by making necessary changes. If you win, you go home with no memory of this place. For you, it would seem like a dream. Or perhaps a dream of a dream. And good luck will follow you wherever you go. 〙
You nodded, stepping out of the clearing and walking on a dirt path, hidden in the groves, to who knows where. "That sounds promising. And if I lose?"
〘 I'll leave that to your imagination. 〙
"A vague answer," you replied, feeling the sunlight warm your exposed arms. "Just one question, where am I? What's going on? I think I'm going to puke, why aren't I back home?--"
〘 One question. I'll answer the first. You are in the kingdom of Eros. 〙
A charming cottage appeared around the bend, vines travelling up the wooden walls, making it a dreamlike vision. Beautiful flora bloomed in the gardens, cozy purples and pinks and sleepy blues speckled around the house.
"Wow!" You awed and crept closer. "Now that's a cute cottage!"
〘 It is yours. 〙
"For real?" You squealed and headed to the front door, opening it to reveal a brightly sun-lit room of sofas and bookshelves in one area and a well-organized kitchen in the other. There was a staircase leading to the second floor and you headed up after leaving your shoes outside the door---as you should.
There were three doors. Behind the first was the bathroom. Behind the second was what you assumed was your bedroom with a woodland feel to it, especially with the carved wooden furniture and intricate four-poster bed with carvings of forest creatures that held up the bed.
