New world, new trouble

-I'll be quick, I'm the Goddess of Wrath and Vengeance, you all are going to be sent to a world as my pieces, your only goal is to survive 32 other people like you and everyone will have an Rpg skill like the ones of the games from your world, any questions?-

-... … … HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH?! I'M DEAD?! WHO ARE YOU?!- "And why does it feel like this goddess has seen the hunger games a bit too much, the heck is a piece?"

-My name is not relevant, farewell.- And like so I was lying down with a screen in front of me like an hologram

[Appreciation]

Touch me

The touch me words were glowing in and out, and when I touched it, someone jumped on me too fast to see and my lips felt pressed by something smooth

[Appreciation_lvl1 acquired]

"Appreciation?! What the heck is that?! Most importantly! Oioioioioioioioioi I'm having my first kiss stoled!!! Stop it already whoever the fuck you are!"

[Name: Lyra]

I tried to take her off but she was way stronger than what I thought, and with every push to try and get her off, she just pressed more against me … … "At least she smells nice… AS IF I CARE! GET OFF ME YOU WANNABE RAPIST!!!" With a bit more of effort than what I was willing to admit I pussed her off finally getting a good look at the one who stole my first kiss

"… I mean a long haired blonde girl with a cute face is not so bad for a first kiss… BUT SHE ALMOST RAPED ME WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH HIS STRENGTH I'VE BEEN TRAINING MY WHOLE LIFE AND I BARELY COULD GET HER OFF! Sigh… no sense in overworking myself over this, let's better find out where are we before she wakes up and tries to murder me or something" Looking around I noticed two things, I'm in a room with one window and one door, and this bed is a bunk… which means there's quite probably another person in here, great… "hmmm… okay it will be better if I hide myself before anyone finds me" I slowly got off from the bed and hid under it trying not to make a sound. "The floor is cold and I still don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do… There weren't like four other people there with me? Where are they?"

The door suddenly opened letting me see the leather boots of someone

-Come on girls, wake uuuuuup-

"Well may as well see his name, when I thought of the word Appreciation looking at Lyra it activated so if I do the same…"

[Too strong to sense]

"Crap baskets"

-Huh? I felt something weird… anyways, we will wait for you to have breakfast girls don't take up too much time-

Leather boots left and Lyra stood up yawning, with only a shirt and… his underwear, she was changing clothes, embarrassed I looked away

-Hmmm~ I had the weirdest of dreams~-

"She was the one who tried to rape me but then why do I feel like an asshole… also did she do all that while sleeping?! The heck try to keep it in your pants girl… Can you say that to girls? Anyways can I use Appreciation again on people I already used it? Let's see"

[Name: Lyra]

[Appreciation leveled up to lvl2]

-Hm? What was that? Anyways I'll wait you downstairs sis- Lyra left the room after putting on some shoes

"Okay so, we know Appreciation can be leveled up, and since I acquired that skill it means I can probably acquire more, although Wrath said it in the singular, and there's also the fact that using Appreciation in someones notifies them in a way, like a feeling… and too strong to sense… that means I can only use Appreciation in people of my strength? Too many questions, geez is making my head hurt, let's better just way till the sis leaves and then I can make my escape of… wherever this place is"

-Get out already.- A feminine and authoritarian voice spoke as new smaller pair of feet came down from the bunk

-... Iiiiiiii… am a magic speaking bed… … …-

-...-

-... Okay had to try- Getting out of my hiding spot I was met with a smaller version of Lyra with the principal difference being a weird colored lock of hair amidst all his blonde mane -Look I know this seems bad… but!- Inhaling I threw out everything that just happened -HEYI'MSORRYBUTIDIEDANDAGOD/GODDESSREVIVEDMEHEREANDIDON'TKNOW HOWIENDEDUPWITHSOMEONESTEALINGMYFIRSTKISSANDIPANICKEDSOIHID UNDERTHEBEDPLEASEDON'TKILLMEORSOMETHING-

-You are gonna stay here while I call the guards.- She said looking at me as if she had seen the most disgusting bug ever

-Hey look I'm sorry but at least listen to me-

She turned to me before leaving, with a plain expression and spoke in the coldest voice possible before going out of the room -You are lucky my sister didn't woke up while you were having fun… Idiot.- "Aaaaand she left, leaving me alone with my thoughts, who are laughing at me…"

-(Hahahahaha oh geez how fun)-

"Shit shit shit what do I do?! Martial arts would work on trained guards?! But if they are too strong to appreciate then they are too much for me… Wait guards? Please tell me this is not some kind of fortress"

-(Oh come on is easy, just go out taking down anything you see, become stronger and come back to kill them all up)-

"Yeah no thanks! I'm not a murderer, in fact I'm pretty sure until some time ago I was the murdered! But not like that matters! Because I'm going crazy and I'm hearing voices!" I approached the window while trying to keep the composure

-(I would not recommend the window, we are not exactly in a… low floor, just go outside that door and follow my instructions luv)- That last part sounded more like an order, but there's no better plan

"Fine but I'm not killing anyone or ruining their life or anything, and who the heck are you? Please tell me I'm not crazy and this is just some magic bullshit or something" The outside of the room was… fancy, like… castles from movies and anime fancy "Now what?"

-(Go running and do what I tell you, go straight ahead, don't worry murdering and ruining people's lives is not on the menu, yet)-

"Did it just say yet?! Anyways, does Appreciation work on objects? Maybe I can use it on the voice?"

[Name: Wall]

-AUCH!- I just hit myself against a wall didn't I?

-(Hehehe okay that was a joke, to the right, presto)-

"I. Hate you."

[Name: Door, Wall, Vase]

[Appreciation leveled up to level 3]

"There's two ways, which one?"

-(Right, and when you turn throw a kick from below~)-

"Aye aye" I turn, and without thinking I kick, a strong kick, trained by martial arts for 16 years of life (a few less actually)

-KEVIN!-

There's one thing in which all men become empathic with, and that's of course, getting kicked in the balls… That's why I couldn't help but yell when passing through the two guards, one of them being poor Kevin who I just hit on the family jewels

-I'M SO SORRY KEVIN!- And I kept running

-(Don't worry, it was necessary, keep going, they won't follow)-

"I'm sure he is crying!"

-(Your imagination :D, keep going forward)-

"You are a terrible liar!"

-(Well this liar is getting you out of here~ go right)-

"Aye…" As I turned right I found myself looking down some stairs

-(I think is obvious where to go now)-

"AND HERE I WAS THINKING I SHOULD BREAK THE CONTINUOUS TIME SPACE CYCLE!"

-(I'll ignore that, keep going, be careful not to trip)-

"Oh now you care!"

-(Stop!)- And so I stopped, in front of some kind of mosaic like window -(Choose, up or down)-

"I FEEL LIKE BOTH OPTIONS ARE GOING TO BE TERRIBLE, SO UP BECAUSE IT IS BETTER TO BE IN HEAVEN THAN HELL!"

-(How cute, too bad I was just asking out of courtesy, jump through the window, the faster the better)-

"You are kidding me, you are fucking kidding me!" And yet I find myself going up through the stairs to get more speed "If I die. I'll haunt you no matter what you are!" And I run, faster and faster, just a few more steps before I hit the window, so I jump… and I fly, And I hit the window, I cut myself and start flying down, as I feel the sun, good news the cut is superficial, bad news, just jumped out of a tower

-YI PI KA YEY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-

-(Oh god! You actually did it! I could even almost fall in love with you, don't worry is all calculated)-

-BUT I SUCK AT MATHS!-

-(Focus! Choose, break a leg or an arm!)-

"YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BREAKING, AN ARM BUT SCREW YOU I'M NOT BREAKING IT!"

I break through some kind of glass dome, slightly breaking my fall, but next up is the floor

"COME ON JUDO, AIKIDO ANY KIND OF JAPANESE JUJUTSU I'VE LEARNT, DON'T FAIL ME NOW! HIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Ouch… Not dead? Oh great, my leg hurts but doesn't seem broken so that's a plus"

-(You finished talking with yourself?)-

"Oh shut up you schizophrenia wannabe"

-(That's insensitive, anyways that wasn't ideal)-

"No shit Sherlock?"

-(Yeah yeah, but we should leave, they are watching you)-

"What do you meaaaaaaa oh" It wasn't until then that I stopped to look around, I was surrounded in people dressed as servants, all looking at me dumbfounded so yeah I should leave

-Uuuuuh, nothing to see here gentlemen, only a… flying young man yup, that's it, goodbye- I went limping to a wall and to the nearest door

-L-long live the emperor- Said one of the servants

-(You know to be fair I was expecting you to get impaled so this is still quite a win)-

-Yeah… long live to the emperor and stuff…- "We seriously need to discuss your definition of win, anyways, what's wrong with you, sometimes you seem to want me dead, I have already trusted you enough, why don't you give me some answers already?"

-(What? You wanted to die? This was the best course of action, plus we've already reached the start of your exit)- I arrived to a dark and smelly zone which seemed apart from the rest -(Just go already and stop complaining)- Ignoring my requirements of answers of course

"Do you even have a name geez"

-(Hmmm~ hehe what name would you put me~?)- As I adventured deeper in this dark place I reached a wall and noticed some kind of bars under me -(Also you should try to open those with something)-

With some careful positioning to not damage further my leg and a substantial amount of strength I took the bars out barehanded, leaving a hole big enough for someone to pass through "How about Schizophrenia?"

-(... Think of another one. Nice arms by the way, you are plenty strong)-

Of course I obeyed and went through the hole because why not… "Yeah well, so it seems to be everyone in this place… Hm… a name… a name for you… Reverie! Has a nice ring to it!"

As I went through the hole my legs were soaked in some disgustingly polluted water… of course the sewers

-(Why not better Rever? Sounds better)-

"Come on Reverie has a nice ring to it with ie at the end"

-(Hehe I guess is better than the alternative~ Keep going forward to the light!)-

"Well if you don't like it why don't you choose one yourself eh?"

-(No no is fine, anyways we are already there, careful exiting)-

As I walked to the light, I kept wondering what the hell is this voice in my head, this castle? This world? That goddess? I don't know what is going on anymore I just want to…

I couldn't keep thinking once I reached the light

A beautiful world like no other, a big forest with a fortress like city in the background, mountains and plains till the eye can see all showered by light from the sun, the sound, nothing to see with the one from his world, not empty but full of acoustic contamination I've never heard before, like an harmony, the smells, everything is so different is as it called you as if it was begging you to go and explore it… Is… such a wonderful world

-(I guess you haven't been formally introduced yet, right? Welp, welcome to Iffrni Gawko)-

Reverie is finally here! And I mean a few other characters too!

As always feel free to tell me anything in the comments!

Until next week c ya!!!
