The Last Surviver - part 1

I don’t know how long has passed but I’m still not any closer to finding out what’s going on. I look around and take in my new, mysterious environment. I’m free to move and there’s no rope binding me or anything. It doesn’t seem like the dirty, scary home of a kidnapper, but an old, large, Western style house belonging to.. A rival of my father’s perhaps? I have a hundred and one questions and I’m terribly anxious to find the answers.

All of a sudden I notice the colour of a picture hung on the wall begin to fade, then the whole picture is gone. Disappeared with no explanation. The same thing happens with every other object in the room. There’s nothing left. Everything’s white. Is the state of my mental health so poor? I’ll never forgive my father if he’s finally made me go mad. I feel like I’m going mad. My head is clouded and I can’t think straight. I’ve no chance of coming up with an explanation for any of this. Where am I?

present time-

“bippodi poppodi I'm your guide di!”

I must no longer be in my previous environment. I am uncomfortable and still just as confused. What was the voice that asked me for help? Have I been taken for use as a lab rat? I hear a different voice now that sounds like it belongs to a child. It’s high pitched and cute but there’s a strangeness to it, it’s also quite irritating.

“Bippodi Poppodi I’m your guide di!” It repeats. “Say ‘Connect Guide’ to start the system.”

Am I dreaming? Have I suddenly developed schizophrenia? Well, I thought, “Curiosity killed the cat”. I snicker out loud and hesitantly mutter “Connect Guide.” Was it too quiet?

“Connecting to host memories…” A pause. “Connection successful.”

What can only be described as a strange, white ball of fur appeared, as if from nowhere and I stared so hard it might’ve melted in an instant. What on earth?

“Nyaaa oh helloo hosttt! Hey, stop staring at me like that; it feels embrassinggg”

This is getting uncomfortable.. “Is the creator of this system perverted?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.

“I’m your guide, Miss Ansel. I was assigned to you by the Geezer system to guide you once you arrive” I have the ability to shapeshift and read your memories hence I’ve shifted myself to resemble your comfort being!”

“Yeah but your voice is strange.. Wait.. I like Hisokai, the clown from Prey x Hunter and he usually speaks like that. Did he copy his style too?! No wonder. This thing can really read my memories. Yikes.”

As the system spoke to me, the snowy white fur unfolded itself to reveal the most beautiful cat with shiny pearl white eyes and soft cotton-like fur. I felt my heart melt and could hardly control myself because of the cuteness!

“I brought you into the system world to tell you about myself and where you are.” The system continued.

Finally. Some answers. “So where am I then? I know I’m not dreaming because the discomfort and pain feels too real.”

“Exactly nyaa gonna show you where you areee! bippodi poppodi~”

As soon as the words were spoken my brain was overloaded with information I couldn’t process. I was so overwhelmed I thought I might drop dead.

“Ting! Memory transplantation successful.”

“What?! I’m in fyn?” I leaped up onto my feet, knowing it was impossible.

As the system had its say I felt my brain become overloaded with information. Too much information all at once. It was so overwhelming I thought that I might die.

Turning to search fo the owner of the sweetest voice, I spotted a small child with long. light orange hair, and crystal, emerald-like eyes which glimmered with curiosity. It brought me a feeling of bliss. But wait, who's she talking to? There's no one else here... Is there?

"Sir?" She looked like she was trying to get my attention. But, ‘mister’? Do I look like a man?! I look down at myself and notice that the only feature usually visible to others providing “proof” of my womanhood is gone. What is going on?

“Geezer System has temporarily set your gender as ‘agender’, hence the host can neither be assumed as male or female. Nyaaaa! ~ “ It explained, again reading my mind.

“Mister, mister!” The child continued, still trying to get my attention despite me being most distracted by whatever this ‘Geezer System’ is. I turn around and try to get some information from her.

“Where are we?” The anxiety and confusion I’m feeling must’ve caused a cold look on my face as I asked. Poor kid. Must’ve frightened her because her response came with a stutter. She said:

“Th- This is the Kingdom of F-Fyn.”

“How did I get here? Do you know?” I try asking more friendly, hoping I wasn’t being too scary.

“I’m not sure, sir. I saw something big falling from the sky so I came to have a look, that’s how I found you.”

“I see.” I nod. “Anyway I’m Nyx.” I say with a smile.

“I’m Arora la Poneer.” She curtsies elegantly.

I smile again but realise that I’m a stranger to her. Could she think I’m a spy? My head is filled with anxious thoughts. This isn’t good. Will I be beheaded if caught? I need to get away.

“Best get going then” I laugh awkwardly. I try to get up but as I look down I notice I was wounded and badly hurt by someone but I don’t remember what happened. I ask.

“Perhaps someone hurt you and tried to teleport you so no one could find you, Mr Nyx..”

This time the sentence was spoken in a much deeper voice. Deep but soothing. I felt immersed. Does the system know I love such deep voices? Wait… Could this be who I think it might be?
