DestinaRE ~ The Path I Followed
Chapters 1. Isekai

"Surge, Disturbers!"

I turned around when I heard a woman's voice scream. At first I thought he wasn't yelling at me. But I seem to be wrong. When I turned around the yellow haired woman had already run towards me. He told me to dodge, but his movements were like lightning. His left hand pushed my shoulder away from him. His sword-wielding right hand slashed at the feet of the monster who had been behind me for some time. Though his eyes were covered in black cloth but he seemed to be able to see what was before him.

I turned back my body. The monster, which looked like a five-meter-high human with two extra hands on its back, fell down as one of its legs was cut off by the woman. He roars. His long fingers seemed to be trying to catch the yellow-haired woman running around in his giant body.

"What the fuck is that..." My stomach felt nauseous as the woman lightly slashed one by one the fingers of the monster. Several times I rubbed my eyes hoping that what I saw was not real. But no matter how hard I rubbed my eyes the scene did not change.

"You okay?"

I turned my head as someone patted me on the shoulder and asked me how I was doing. He's a man my age. He was no more than my ears. Her clothes were similar to the yellow-haired lady earliera—jaket black on her left arm attached a bet of organization I had never seen before. The difference is that he doesn't wear an eye patch.

I wanted to say I wasn't okay, but my throat was stuck. My head was filled with questions about what really happened. Totally confused. I was on my way to the supermarket, but now...

"Can you please pinch me?" I stared at him whose two eyebrows were in confusion at my request. Does he not understand my words? Ah, where is it possible. Obviously, he speaks the same language as me. "Pinch me tight, '" I said.

I thought he wouldn't have the heart and would pinch me slowly, but again I was wrong. He really pinched my arm with all his might.

"Oh, sick!" screeched me while stroking the arm he pinched. I can see him looking at me confused as if asking 'why'.

Damn, this is all real. Where am I really? How do I get out of here? my mind is filled with questions. My legs are limp thinking of the giant monsters that I usually only see in anime are now real in front of me.

"Hey, let's go! Here's the danger." The man pulled my arm. To take me away from where I am standing right now.

Just seeing that monster makes me want to leave. Want to run as far as possible from his reach. But my eyes and feet were instead glued to the yellow haired woman who was now hovering above the monster's head. He raised his sword high and a flash of light appeared cladding his sword. Now what else? Superpowers?

It doesn't really make sense. His sword—he stuck the sword with the light that struck it on the monster's head. The monster's sound waves were roaring because its head was pierced pushing whatever was around it, including me. The dust that flew after the monster's impact obscured my eyes. I saw the yellow hair gallantly standing on the head of the monster. Just looking at it really made me grieve.

"Hey, are you okay?" ask the man next to me.

"I-I guess I'm fine. Yes. se-like," I answered stammered. I'm honestly still in shock about what happened just now.

The man walked a step ahead of me. He was shaking his waist, staring at the yellow hair that was walking towards us. "Oh, Laura! That was the danger of knowing!" abugn.

Laura did not answer the man's question. He just walked and stopped right in front of me. Seen up close like this, it turns out that our height is not much different. He is not taller than me, but taller than the man who questions me. He looked at me with his face flat. Wait, I doubt if he can actually see me with his eyes closed like that.

"You... who? This is the first time I've seen you."

"I'm..."

I was confused as to how I should answer it. While my head was spinning around looking for answers, the monster that had fallen off earlier somehow got back up. With her remaining limbs it seemed like she was about to take Laura to die with her.

"Are you.. from the 'Other World'?" tanyanya relax. But I am still confused on how to answer it. Does he know I'm not from this world. What is this world?

This time he did not wait for my answer. He turned right behind me. There I realized that the head of the monster was not far in front of Laura's face and she was just flinching about.

"Laura—"

I don't know what he's doing by staying that way. But after a single snap of his finger, the sword still stuck in the monster's head instantly split his body in two vertically. If the rain of water was common, then this time the rain of blood almost washed over me. It all happened too fast. After the monster's body split, Laura opened the umbrella she was carrying on her back and kept the three of us protected from the terrible rain of blood.

Yes. although still exposed splashes.

"So... are you really from the 'Other World'?" Laura repeated the question that I had not been able to answer.

"What do you mean 'Another World'?" the man's question represents the question that's inside me. But again he did not answer.

"EH, DON'T-DON'T YOU MEAN HE'S 'THE CHOSEN ONE'?!" I saw his facial expression that suddenly turned into excitement as if he had just hit the jackpot.

"I don't understand what you mean about 'The Chosen One'. But I am clearly different from you. I am not from this world—"

"Then the prophecy is true! You must be the 'Chosen One'! Hey, Laura, let's tell the Chairman!" The man looked at me sparkling. He seemed so excited, compared to me. Maybe it's just my feeling, it's a pity to see his face that's been like getting hope in the middle of despair. Yep...

I finally realized this kind of situation. No matter how hard I try to stay calm and think with common sense, it feels impossible after the demands of events beyond reason that I experienced earlier. Staying with common sense will only make my common sense wear off. Then. plus hearing him refer to me as 'The Chosen One' made me even more convinced by the crazy thing that was on my mind.

I. must be in isekai.
