However, upon opening them, she discovered she was suddenly on a hospital bed with her grandfather nearby; the young girl discovered she was saved by Sora, a lively boy from her class. She walked through life with uncertainty, yet pleased her grandfather as he watched her slowly turn from an emotionless doll to a human child through her time with her very first genuine friend.

It's not very long, but I had a lot of fun writing it, and I hope I got better as the story progressed! This story is created by me, "ProjectSorolf." Hi!

One day, the universe was split into two realms. Reality and fantasy were soon separated by a dimensional barrier with many mythical creatures migrating towards the Realm of Fantasy. Within these creatures rests the mighty dragon race, which quickly became the dominant species with their vast elemental prowess. A power that could devastate the very planet itself with ease. Humans wished to capitalize on such mighty strength, and soon, a bond was forged between the two species...and yet there are those who wish to threaten the realm. Heroes were formed, and together, they pushed back against the darkness for millenniums! But one day...tradition shattered and the heroes began to fall one by one... Centuries later, a 27 year old man from Earth was brought into the Realm of Fantasy by a rather rude goddess! The boy was quickly sent to the new world, one that was clearly above his paygrade! Left with no choice, the boy soon needed to find a way to survive in this world. Meeting new friends and allies along the way...while the lurking darkness watched from the abyss... - Story by Sage Author's Note - Upload Schedule is Every Wednesday at 3:00 pm EST.
