Uh... Why is it black?
Who? I heard a voice came.
That's a girl... Who is she?
And... Where am I? Why I can't even move for a bit?
Is that tree? Am I in a jungle or forest?
Damn it, I can't move even once. What is this feeling? Oh yeah, I feel hurt. Am I injured? How?
My eyes, it's closing... It's dark... I can't see anything...
...
A voice again. Sounds similar. Wait, is she the one who was calling me back then? I'm kind of confused.
What am I doing here? Pieces of firewood burning with flames. A blanket set on my body, and a bandage wrapped on my body? Am I injured? How?
"Hey, you woke up already?"
When said that, she drank water from the bottle. I was confused seeing her.
First, where am I? In a forest or a jungle? Wait a minute, why can't I tell the difference between forest and jungle?
Wait. I just realized, I had no memory. All I can remember is just the moment when I met this girl somewhere.
"You seem confused. Don't think a lot. Also, I'm not a bad person. I just happened to found you in this jungle."
Ah... It's a jungle. So I'm in the jungle. And who is she?
"Sorry, can I ask who are you?"
She stares on me then answered.
"My name is Shion."
"Shion? Can I know what happened?"
I literally don't know what has happened to myself. I can't remember anything, even when I was a baby. How is this possible? Memory loss? She's right, I'm so confused right now. I want to know how did I end up here and where I came from.
"You should know why you're here."
"I can't remember anything. ARGH!"
My head! It hurts a lot. Was it an effect for keep thinking a lot? Not just my head, my body also hurt.
"Don't move a lot, you body is still in recovery. You're half dead when I found you."
I almost die? What I've been on? I'm so curious.
"I really can't remember anything. The last thing I remember is the moment I opened my eyes and saw you asking me... If I was okay or not."
"That's a bit of trouble. I feel pity for you."
She sound a bit cold. Was she a bit disappointed knowing I didn't bring any information for her? She must have wanted to know what happened to me. Screw me.
"Since you lost your memory, you should repeat your journey again for yourself."
I need to restart my adventure? Am I an adventurer? Did I get in trouble and ran to this jungle to save my life?
"That's your clothes. It's a proof that you're an adventurer."
That clothes... I don't know. I'm too confused and need to calm down.
In that case, I want to know about this world again. Should I ask her?
"I have no knowledge about this world. I had a high level memory loss, I guessed... Can I learn something from you?"
She then stares on me again and asked.
"Do you even remember your name?"
My name? Shake my head. I didn't know my name. Should I get a new one? Renew my identity?
"Sigh... I had no choice but to give you a name for... Let me give you a good name... If it sounds bad, I'm sorry, I'm not good at this."
"Okay..."
Bad name is okay I think? Because I can find my old name when I met someone that I suppose to know.
"Vior."
Vior... That was an okay name.
"Why Vior?"
When I asked that, she got sad all of a sudden.
"It's my old friend's name."
So... She named me after her old friend? Why does that make her sad?
"What happened to your friend?"
"He died when we both do our mission."
Sot that's what happened, huh? Kind of sad.
"It's my fault..."
Ah... What is this feeling? Why am I getting emotional? Have I experienced this before? Since I lost my memory, I can't confirm it. But I can feel what she feels.
"I think you should stop thinking that for now. He might've died for you and to help you get stronger."
"That's true..."
She agreed.
"He died saving me from dying. He transferred to somewhere safe and sacrifice his body to block me from an explosion."
I feel like that death was a brutal death. I mean, an explosion, could cause your skin burned. Dying like that is something painful. But I think that wasn't the cause of his death. Let me investigate this. Since I lost a lot of memory, I can fill it with new memory. Let me put on the title of "How Shion's old friend died" inside my brain.
"How long do we're going to stay here?"
"When it's night."
I'm kinda hungry. That food she eats look delicious. Can I have some?
"Are you hungry? I heard the sound of your stomach few seconds ago. You can have some. Here."
I was trying to ask her but turned out she offered to me first. The food she gave to me is kind of new... I don't remember how does it taste like. The food was made of bunny's meat.
Hmm... I wonder how did I know that this is a bunny. Never mind that, let's just eat quietly.
"Can I know about the world again? I mean, this world."
I asked her while I and her are still eating. She swallowed the food faster than usual, and she started talking.
"This world is the pain in the ***. Magic and Science, both are used as a weapon to protect, to attack and even for evil intention."
Kind of scary.
"Even you had that magic and science tool. You got two discs in your hand when you're lying on the ground."
What? Two discs? What even is that? Disc? I'll go checkout that thing to know how it looks like.
"Is there more for you to tell me?"
I asked her while chewing meat.
"There is more, but I think you can learn it yourself."
I hope so.
"Do you remember how to use that discs?"
She asked me if I know how to use the discs I owned or not. I immediately answer "I can't remember."
She looks normal, doesn't look disappoint. I think she expected me to not remember it as I already tell her that I lost my memory on almost everything except some common knowledge.
"You can learn how to use it on your own. Maybe you can practice how to use it after your recovery is done."
She's right. After my wound healed, I will go on testing the discs I owned. Should learn for the future threat I'll face. This world has magic and science. Most likely 60% human here are evil and jerk. But can't confirm, if it was 60% or not since I can't count how many of them unless I'm a god or had an ability to count how many living things are here.
"Gosh, I'm sleepy."
After an hour, she moaned saying that she was sleepy then immediately lying on the clothes she prepared to cover the ground.
"You should continue sleeping. It's night so just sleep."
She went quiet after that, I feel lonely when she become quiet. I mean, I used to talk to her and wanted to continue. Since my body is in recovery, I can't move all I want freely. If I was healthy, I would have gone missing from her side for a moment to look out for something.
Honestly, I'm curious about the discs, I'll wait till I get my body fully recover. I then sleep silently.
