Prologue Story 01

[] …This is… A dream. [] Lately, I’ve been having the same dream. [] A world of swords and magic. [] A fierce adventure, in which I get to meet my precious companions. [] And then… [] (…A dream? It’s this dream again…) [] To see a dream over and over again, it’s strange. Well, whatever. I need to wake up soon anyway) [] (I’m going to work today to do more sales…) [???] ---Hey. [] (Huh? All I can see is white. My eyes are open, aren’t they? What’s happening?) [???] Hey, it’s time to wake up. [MC] (Who’s there?) [MC] (Uwaaaaah!?) [MC] (Wh-wh-what is this…? What the hell is going on!?) - A human!? - [MC] (From what I can see, he looks like an old man with a splendid body. Not to mention everything is so big!)

- A chimera!? – [MC] (His arms are like a tiger’s, and he has horns… Even a dragon-like tail… What is he?) [] I don’t really get it, even the surrounding is strange too. [] It’s like a void that sucks everything in, while being filled by bright light. This place definitely isn’t modern Japan. [???] Yo [MC] (Huh? What’s that? Is he… saying hello?) [???] This may be a little shocking to hear, But you’re dead. [MC] (Huh? What!?) [MC] (Dead? Me!? What do you mean!?) [???] Your neck was broken. It looked really painful. [MC] (Did he just say my neck was broken? What!?) [???] Well, that’s how it is. [MC] (What do you mean!?) [???] Save the world~. - I don’t understand what you are talking about. – [MC] (Huh? Save the world? Did you just say save the world? That world?) [???] Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. Good luck~! - Understood… Wait a minute! – [MC] (You suddenly tell me to save the world! But I don’t even know what the hell is going on!) [???] Hey hey, I mean what I said. Well then, see you later. - I see salvation. When I release the seal on my right arm… - [???] Way to go, that’s what I’m talking about. Nice~. [MC] (No no, Grandpa, let’s calm down and talk about this. Let’s have a nice chat!) [???] See ya~. For any details, please go and ask him. [MC] (I still don’t get it! Hey! Old man!! Explain probably to me!!!!) [] …… [] ………… [???] Heyyy. [MC] Nooooooo! I still don’t know what is going on!!! [???] Nwaaah!? You startled me! [MC] Huh? A stuffed animal? [???] You idiot! How dare you mistake me for a stuffed animal! [] A strange creature with two horns… [] It looks like a stuffed animal, but it’s moving and talking on its own. It’s an unbelievable sight. [Ortho] Clean your ears and listen carefully! [Ortho] I am the Primordial King’s messenger, the famed Spirit of Guidance, Ortho! - A spirit! – [MC] It’s real! Awesome! It has a physical form, so does that means it’s pretty high-ranking!? [MC] After all, it’s common knowledge that in fantasy worlds low-level spirits are just glowing light orbs. - It’s floating – [Ortho] Heehee, levitating is just a basic spell. If even this surprises you… [MC] What else can you do!? Can you breathe fire!? Can you shoot out beams with your hands!? [MC] I don’t care what it is, can you show me!? - It’s pretty cute! – [Ortho] Are you making fun of me!? [MC] That’s not true! A stuffed animal floating in the air and talking on its own! It’s really happening! [MC] Talk some more! Show me all kinds of expressions! Can you dance or use magic? Hey, hey! [] All of a sudden his eyes started sparkling. I feel like I’m in danger… [MC] A Guiding Spirit, huh? I’m getting a little excited because you’re so cool! [Ortho] …He’s kind of a weirdo. [Ortho] Well, I’m certainly cool, though. Heh heh. [] He’s puffing his chest out with pride for some reason. This is a strange creature, but he doesn’t seem like a bad guy. [MC] Ortho, was it? Where the hell am I? Do you know that weird old man by any chance? [Ortho] Yes, please listen to me carefully. [Ortho] First of all, you died in your old world. [MC] I’m dead!? It’s true!? [Ortho] Yes, that’s true. It’s not rare to lose your memories after death, but you don’t remember anything at all? [] …That’s right, I remembered. [MC] (It’s evening, I just finished my work. I was on my way back from the office while feeling exhausted.) [MC] (All of a sudden, a child came flying out in front of me and went onto the roadway.) [MC] (There was a park right next to it, so it was probably because of the momentum from playing around. But unfortunately, there’s a truck coming in.) [MC] (Watch out! I jumped out onto the road to save the kid.) [MC] (The boy was startled, And there’s the intense sound of brakes…) [MC] (I think I tried to save the kid, but instead, I got run over.) [MC] What about him? [Ortho] Don’t worry. Thanks to you, the kid was saved. [MC] I see… Yeah, that’s good to hear. [Ortho] You look happy. Even though you died because of it. You really are a strange person. [MC] Well, to be honest, I’m shocked that I died. But if I had saved the child then I’m glad that I did it. [MC] But in that case, where am I? It’s not heaven, is it? [Ortho] To put it frankly, this is a parallel world. [Ortho] After you died in the previous world, your soul was brought here to live your second life in a new body. [Ortho] As the savior who will save this world! [MC] Savior!? Me!? [MC] (Come to think of it, that old man did say something about saving the world…) [Ortho] I’m sure it’s weird to hear such a thing out of the blue. But don’t worry. [Ortho] You were given special power by the Primordial King. If it’s you, I’m sure you will be able to save this world [Vestria], which is on the verge of collapsing. [Ortho] Or rather, you’re the only one we can rely on. [Ortho] …Looking at Ortho’s face, I can tell that this world is in a tough spot. [MC] A savior who’d been reincarnated and given a special power huh? It sounds like the plot of a light novel to me. [MC] Okay, I got it. Lead the way, Ortho. If you don’t mind dealing with me, I’ll lend you my strength. [Ortho] Thank you very much! [] Seeing his carefree smile, I couldn’t help but laugh. [] I still can’t quite grasp the situation, but it seems like I’ve become the [Chosen One]. [Ortho] Yes! With that decided, let’s hurry. Let’s wake up the [Guide] power that’s sleeping inside of you. [MC] You tell me to wake it up… But what should I do... - It’s an ancient spell! – [MC] Like… From the pitch-black depths of the abyss, or something like that… Came the brilliant light, radiant light, or something like that… Do you mean that kind of spell? [Ortho] Hmm… That isn’t wrong, but… This isn’t the time for that. - I’m fired up! – [MC] Hoaaaahhhh!!!!! [Ortho] What are you doing…? I’ve been thinking this for a while now, but you’re really a weird guy. [Ortho] It’s really easy. Take my hand. [MC] I do what I was told and took Ortho’s small hand. [MC] Fuooohh!!! Your paw is so squishy! Your fur is so fluffy!! [Ortho] Wh-what the!! Don’t touch me in such a strange way!!! [Ortho] Honestly, what a troublesome Guide... Well then, let’s go. [] When Ortho closed his eyes, “something” flowed in from him. [MC] Wh-what is this!? It’s hot and cold, yet crackling… It’s growing more and more inside my body… [] I feel like the torrent that flowed into my body would grow larger and larger until it burst. [MC] Hm? Ohhhh! Somehow my clothes are changed! [MC] And what’s this dagger? I can’t put it into words, but I can feel it… [Ortho] Yes. Looks like it went well. With this, the power of the Guide within you has awakened. [MC] This is… The savior… No, the power of the Guide. It feels amazing. Like there’s some kind of power overflowing from the depths of my body. [Monster] Grrraaaaah! [MC] What is it all of a sudden!? Wow! It’s just like in a movie… [Ortho] Hm. As you can guess, it’s a monster. A small fry that isn’t a threat to your awakened self. [Ortho] It’s a good test of strength. Hey, [MC], clean up that piece of trash! [MC] Come on, come on, come on! Why out of nowhere did it become something this crazy!! [Ortho] Practice is better than learning after all! Let’s go!
