Chapter 3: Decay and Renew
The sun set and I still couldn't fall asleep. Not because I couldn't rest, no my body wanted to rest that was for sure. Just my mind was simply curious, I just wanted to see more stuff before I fell asleep. My pleasant time came to an end when I saw someone coming over to me for the first time, since nobody came up to me the whole time on the pole.
"Still alive?"
"Fugghhk ohfff"
I tried to swear at them but I already lost nearly all of my teeth from them falling out, so my insult came out rough. However the damn woman didn't leave, instead she started circling my body. Like inspecting a toy, she poked at spots and was silent the entire time. I could barely see it was a woman, just her voice and figure gave it away in the night.
"Surprising you are still alive being a mere mortal human, traveling through different time and space. While not being accepted by this world, such a shame to leave a treasure like this to rot outside."
"Humhf"
My body was destroyed now, without even seeing it I knew it. Nothing felt like it was working in my body, even my heart felt like it was on its last leg. The rope tying my body to the pole was the only thing keeping it upright, and sadly my beloved view of the water was cut short in my right eye with it bursting.
"I could save you…. Maybe not save is the correct word, but you get my point right?"
"Huh?"
"I can see you can barely respond anymore, so I will make this very simple. You can become my disciple for life and accept everything I ask of you. Or you can wait for another opportunity on this beach."
Turning her head she looked around the beach in an obvious mocking way, showing that it was completely vacant. Only the two of us remained on it, with no chance of another coming by. I tried to look at her to see her intentions even now, but the darkness hid her expression and details.
"Yeessh"
"Good, very good. Just leave everything to me~"
My consciousness was instantly lost, and I felt it all fade away instantly. In a dream like state I could see a dark blue sea as I hovered above it riding on a fiery sun, resting on the sun in complete comfort. However suddenly I was pulled away, and I began to slip away from the sun high above. Like a sinner descending to hell, I saw the sun go far away as I tried to grasp at it. However soon my body fell into the water, and everything was submerged.
When I desperately swam upward I sank deeper, then I saw it. My hands weren't my own, no they were someone else's! Like an instinct on the spiritual level, I knew these weren't mine, but in that moment I was pulled even deeper underwater. Soon my entire body felt alien, and I simply stopped fighting against it. When I finally felt it stop pulling me down, even my soul didn't feel like my own. Under the water I still had the urge to breathe but I tried and water filled my lungs, so I began to panic as the last bits of air escaped me.
Gasp
"Calm down, you are fine now~"
'I am?'
Sweat covered my body while I hyperventilated laying on what appeared to be a bed, looking around I spotted a coffee table near the bed with a small mirror on it. An urge to see if I was truly fine burned in my heart, so I made up my mind going for it. Reaching my hand over to a small mirror on the coffee table near the bed I was laying on, I was shocked. A strange woman was looking back at me, and weirdly enough she also was on a bed. It looked a bit revealing so maybe this other world mirror displays stuff like a phone?
'Whatever I have to find a real mirror. I don't know why, but something feels off about me.'
"Do you…"
Stopping half way about to ask whoever it was in here for a mirror, I froze. Like a criminal caught in the act, I stopped and glanced at the supposed mirror. This time I remained unmoving except my hands began to shake, soon I dropped the mirror on my face.
"Are you okay?"
"Did I die."
My hands went limp to my sides and I cringed pulling my body in, but that only made it worse. I felt it, everything below the sheets wasn't the same anymore. Something was missing between the legs, and everything was weird unlike before. A hand from somewhere picked up the mirror on my face and I saw a face somewhat like this one.
"You're fine, it's okay now."
"How?"
"Don't worry about that, quick come here."
Pulling me out of bed I was completely naked with nothing on, she only took two steps with me and it was a floor to ceiling mirror on the wall in an ornate frame. Standing still, I was shocked. A girl with pink hair that was long, a curvy body and not a single scar or blemish to be found. Instinctually I averted my eyes from it, and tried to look away.
"What's wrong? I spent so long making it perfect, look at the size of these!"
Two hands snuck under the armpits and grabbed the breast, squeezing them hard. The sudden touch evoked a feeling I never felt there before, and startled me. Jumping a little I felt a hand then slide below and I completely jumped away.
"So cute! I am so glad I got to design your body."
"You, you did this?"
Putting a hand below to hide it, and another on another breast to cover I was leaning over facing her. It was more instinctual protecting against her hands, and her prying eyes. She smirked looking at the mirror like she saw something good, and I turned to glance at the mirror.
"Stop it!!!"
"Ok, ok, and you should do that pose again for the boys. They would love it~"
She walked back to the bed while I hid in the corner of the room sizing the place up, suddenly I had a realization turning to her quickly. She seemed ready for me to ask a question, with a devious look in her eyes.
"Why can I understand you people now?"
"Oh, is that what you noticed first? Maybe you should start with your past."
'My past? Wait, what is my name?! Why can't I recall it?'
Nothing came to mind, my past was barely still there. The lonely childhood and the dream of one day making it big on the internet, just parts about me were gone. What I looked like wasn't there, with certain things also not there. It was like someone cut out anything that was part of my identity half way, leaving it unfinished.
"Don't panic, just put this on. Teacher wants to see you, since you're the new student here."
"Teacher?"
'That woman on the beach maybe?'
After refusing her initial outfit of a bikini, she happily offered me something else.
My outfit was much to my relief a complete cover of my body, with it being similar to a poncho. Made from silk or something that felt like it, I liked the way it felt compared to the nude. The shoes were a bit wonky, being literally high heels she just didn't leave me any other option, so I just carried them instead of wearing them.
"What is your name?"
"My name? Oh just call me Lili."
Her outfit was far from my own being a loose short skirt maid outfit, that left so much exposed it was barely covering her. Her chest was bursting from the center almost about to show the nipples, while she walked like a model swerving her hips intentionally. Leaving the place together it was all black stone bricks with candles on the walls barely illuminating it, giving it a dark vibe.
"What is that noise?"
"Oh… Dinner? No, maybe exercise is the better word… No, knowing her she is probably just having some fun again."
Something in my memory was burning to click and connect the noise to an action, nothing made sense why one person could be moaning another with seemingly anger? Her answer just left me more stumped from the distant noises, as we walked they disappeared but new ones did appear again as we walked. Eventually we reached the destination after I finished tripping for the tenth time using these damn shoes, and we stopped at a large wooden door that had engravings all over it.
"Teacher is quite excited to look after you, so don't disappoint her. Otherwise…"
"Okay"
'So basically don't blow your chance, seems easy.'
Thinking about just agreeing to whatever, I knocked on the door. Only for it to turn and open right at that moment.
"Welcome~"
