1 A Book Lover's Wish

Hi, I'm Luna, a total fan of transmigration novels. I am a 26-yeard old, average-looking, normal office worker. I have been working in my company since I was in college so that was about 7 years now. Just so you know, I am from Earth and the country where I came from is somewhere in Asia. I got black hair, tan skin, around 5'5 in height, in between chubby and fat I guess (that's what you get when you sitball the time in front of a computer at work for 7 years). I got a few boyfriends before but things seem to never work out and they conveniently always find an excuse about something that is wrong with me. I am not stupid. I know it is another woman who is prettier, richer, sexier or whatever ER you can think of. My human life is boring and reading is the only thing that makes me happy. It gets my mind off of the stressful and day-to-day tasks my slave driver of a boss gives me.

Going back on my reading hobby, I would always look for stories that is quite opposite with what the real world is since its fun and it teases the limits of my imagination. I like stories where women can have many husbands (polyandry for the win!), men get pregnant and give birth instead (cause they should know how it feels lol), worlds where there is a system to back you up to make you strong or pretty (level up! level up!), worlds with magic, curses, dragons, elves, demons, fairies, immortality and what not as well as worlds where you can marry as many cute animal husbands (they are so fluffy I'm gonna die!). You name it, I've read it. Maybe you are wondering, "Doesn't she have anything else better to do?". Well... It's just a hobby, a way to lower stress and to use up my time off work if I get one. Can't I spend my time off the way I want to? I also have a life you know?! I know its boring to just going to work then home then work in an endless cycle but it's not bad to dream too in that little world I have created in my head. I won't lose anything whenever I wish that maybe in my next life (if there is one, strongly hoping for reincarnation here), I will be given a chance to live in another world with a backstory from one of the genres I loved to read (hoping strongly for polyandry here!). It's just a wish and I know it isn't my birthday! I have the right to dream too!

Everything was just part of wishful thinking just like any other day but who knew that my wish will come true so quickly...

It was just a cool, autumn day. I am feeling sick. I guess I am getting the flu due to the gradually decreasing temperatures. The weather is getting colder as days go by and it seems like everybody has gotten sick too (I think this is the fault of my seat mate at work who keeps on sneezing!) so it's about time I will be too. It will snow soon. My favorite season is coming.

I went home after work like any other work day. It was way past working hours actually (What's new?!). I have been needing to stay for 2-3 hours after the shift is over just to get to deadlines set by my slave-driver boss. It have been taking over time for more than 2 weeks now. Sometimes I regret doing too well with tasks given to me by my boss since you just get more things to do, more responsibilities, etc for the same pay. I am feeling so weak and dizzy by the time I got home. I don't even have the strength to prepare dinner (not that I had the time to buy stuff I could cook from the supermarket) and my grumbling stomach is not helping this situation either. I am hungry for sure but I feel more lethargic than that. This is one down-side of being alone. Nobody is waiting for you to come home and no one will cook for you when you are hungry and no one will take care of you and buy you medicine when you are feeling sick. I am not getting dramatic just being realistiv here. I am not going there and cry and drown in self-pity. It's just the reality of being alone so shut it. It has pros and cons.

I changed my clothes to my favorite baggy, haggard outfit and dropped face first on my bed. It's good that I don't have to go to work tomorrow (My sweet time off!). At least, my slave-driver of a boss has a little consideration for his sick company slave.

I feel so dizzy due to my high fever that my eyes immediately started to droop after hitting the bed. I rolled over and got off the bed to go to the kitchen. I only have enough energy to boil some hot water (thanks for electric kettles) and make some ginger tea. My co-worker said it will help me sweat out the fever, warm up my stomach and keep me from losing my voice. I don't have the energy to go to the pharmacy so this home remedy is just perfect. If any of those three effects he said would work on me, I would already be contented. I don't feel like disturbing anybody to get the meds too. I am a grown up and I can take care of myself! I decided to just wrap myself in my comfy blanket and sleep. My head hurts so much. I hope I will have a dreamless sleep tonight so at least I can catch up on all the overtime I have been doing for the past month. I think I will feel better when I wake up tomorrow.
