After the darkness fade, we quickly rushed toward the tablet. We ran through trees, branches, bushes and we could see a light in the middle of nowhere. We ran and ran and finally we're out. The tablet had already landed on an open land. The distance between the tablet and where we were was pretty far. It would take about 1 to 2 days to reach there by walking. I was hungry and tired from running. I could feel all my energy escaping from my body without even doing anything. I sat on the ground and Ren looked at me
"What's wrong? Tired?" he asked
"Kinda and I'm starved too. I don't think I could move even an inch." I told him. I looked at Ren. His face was red. I could tell that he was hiding his laughter.
"What?" I asked and stared angrily at him
"Nothing, I just thought your an 'ojousama' kind of girl but I was wrong. You're more like a tomboy. Hahahahahaha." he said . He was holding his tummy while rolling on the ground laughing. My anger level rise and I was on my feet; ready to give him a huge punch in the face. Before my hand could reach his face, something caught my eyes and stopped me from making Ren into my punching bag
I saw buildings, people and horses. It was a village. There was a village nearby. Maybe we could regain our energy and ask for information and transportation. Ren was guarding his face waiting for me to punch him but when I didn't. It left him a confuse emotion
"Weren't you going to punch me?" he asked. I looked at him and let out a huge sigh. I pulled him towards the scenery of the village. When he saw it, he quickly stands up.
"What? There's a village nearby. We could gather information and get food. Yeayyyy!" he said and jumped happily.
"Ren" I called. He looked at me and hums happily.
"I think you're forgetting one tiny problem"
"What?"he said and arched his eyebrows.
I showed him the gesture used to show the sign for money and said "Money? Do you have them? Not our money but this worlds money!"
"Ouh. Hahahahaha. I definitely have...None" he said.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Not sure but I think we should just go there and ask anybody for help"
"You do know that I don't have any more live sources to move"
"So what do you want me to do? Piggyback you? Ouhh I know! You want me to carry you like a princess!" he said and quickly raise me onto his hand like a princess."Let me down! This is making me look like an idiot! Let me down this instant “I told him."Nope, I’m not gonna let you down." he said and was grinning happily like a child who just got a new toy.
When we arrived at the village, I could feel stares coming from all the villagers and yes I am still in Ren’s arm. He wouldn’t even let me down, even after receiving countless hits from me. While we were walking along the streets of the village, we notice that there were all types of people trapped inside this unknown world ; old, young, children, women, men and chicken < why did I ever put the chicken.>
“Ren, darling, would you mind putting me down so I could walk on my own feet.” I whisper to him. He face turns red and he quickly puts me down. I guess I just learn how to control him.
Since we were hungry, we decided to venture inside the nearest café. The cafe was filled with customers. Ren went straight to the counter and talk to the waitress for some information. To my surprise, he come walking back instantly to me and was feeling frustrated.
“What’s wrong?”I asked. He let out a big sigh and looked at me straight in the eyes.
“I tried asking her for any information but she keeps on repeating ‘What will you like to order’. I got frustrated and left." He explains.
“Well that’s a given!” Suddenly a voice of a boy came out from nowhere interrupted our conversation. We turned our head towards the voice and saw a boy our age; blond hair, green eyes, a bit shorter than Ren was looking straight at us, waiting for our reply.
“What do you mean by it’s a given?” I asked
“Well, it’s because that worker is a GC it will only do what it was programmed for." He said.
“What does GC stands for and do you know a way we could get money or where we are?”Ren spoke.
"Huh? Don't you guys know anything?" He asked . Both of us shook our heads.
“Where have you guys been? Weren’t you here when the mysterious hooded man gave some info?”He said and let out a sigh. I looked at Ren and he looked back at me. Both of us didn't know anything. We decided to ask the boy to explain everything to us.

“So you’re saying that we are trap in a game? And we were trapped because we receive an injection during the last two weeks! Well, I do remember that I've receive that particular injection and I heard it was only for 500 selected teenagers from our country for some kind of I don’t remember.”
“Well, you don’t remember anything, Ren!” said Miharu. I gave my most annoyed stare at her. She was biting her lower lips and still interpreting all the information we receive.
“Don’t forget that if we die in this game, we die in the real life and the time we spent here has no effect in the real time. So nobody knows that we are trapped inside this game. But how come you guys end up in the forest and wasn’t there during the hooded man’s speech?" He said
“We don’t know!” Both me and Miharu shouted synchronously.
“Hahahaha. By the way, my name is Natsume. It's a pleasure to meet you.” said Natsume
“I’m Ren, and this is lil’kid...Ouch, that hurts.” Miharu pinched me before I could finish my introduction
“My name is Miharu. The pleasure is mine.” She said and reach her hand towards Natsume's for a handshake.
“By any chances, are you two a couple?”
“NOOO!! Definitely not” Miharu shouted
“Like I would want to be this little kid’s boyfriend. Sorry.” I said. Miharu kicked my leg so hard that I couldn’t even stand properly. Natsume on the other hand was giggling at our comedian actions.But he suddenly stopped and stared at both of us.
“Oh, I forgot to mention” He said. Both our eyes was glued to Natsume’s, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
“This world is called EragonTail, The Land of Game.”
