'How the fuck did THIS happen?!'
Mimir looked at the argument between the grey haired guy and Raymond as they were on the verge of choking each other.
A few hours ago
Mimir stood alongside Sophia as both of them were standing in front of Raymond. Answering Sophia Raymond spoke up
"I was about to ask you the same Sophia. This is a dungeon. What are you doing here? You're not an awakened"
'so he nags. But he's not wrong '
Mimir thought as he looked at her
"Who is this lady here?"
Sophia who was pouting spoke up huffing
"Ugh Raymond I awakened today! Can you not give me a hard time!"
She sighed but spoke up again
"This is Sister Mimir. She's from a village far away and she somehow got stuck here . So I offered help to get her out"
Raymond nodded
"I see"
Then he looked at Mimir with no expression
"How about you join the small camp I made outside this dungeon? A lot of people who were stuck here are resting in the camp."
'This guy got the... Responsible character vibes'
Mimir thought to herself as she nodded
"Thank you Mr.Raymond. Then I'll be bothering you until we get out of here."
She smiled softly at the same time wondering how things will go ahead of herself. Sophia sounded delightful as both of them loaded their rewards in their system.
Congratulations to Mimir for completing her first dungeon. You have unlocked the system shop with 150 points.
'Well that's that I guess. Maybe I will find more people like me'
She was thinking to herself wondering how long would it take for the final boss to show up and if she would have enough people under her command by then. Unknown to her The teenager besides her walking in the same place had very different thoughts wondering if the white headed girl was scared. To the point one might wonder if the child was delusional.
"So where are you from?"
Raymond's question caught Mimir off guard.
'shit... he's an adult will he find out about the lie? On top of it he probably knows the entire map'
She gulped nervously before speaking up. To her surprise she didn't sound awkward
"Ah..I am from a village called earth.. It quite far away and I left in order to find a way for living"
'Classic but he wouldn't notice right?'
She looked at him with the default gentle smile of her character as they kept walking. Raymond was silent for a while and then let out a hum
"I see. Good luck to you Miss Mimir"
She nodded as the walk out of the dungeon only took 20 minutes
"..."
'When me and Sophia were the one trying to find a way out why tf it kept feeling like a maze?!'
She was fuming but in her mind as they went towards the camp Raymond mentioned. After another walk of ten minutes they finally reached the campsite. Mimir wanted to die. Her legs were killing her. This new body was hard to get adjusted to like a newborn baby. She realized she needs to exercise to make her body more flexible.
After what it felt like another eternity yet 10 minutes they finally reached the campsite. Raymond introduced them to the people in the camp. A lot of them were looking like people who are used to fighting and some looked scared.Mimir could tell just by appearance who were NPC in the og game. After her and Sophia got arranged in a tent with another girl Mimir decided to look around the place and find a spot to check her system shop.
After a while of walking Mimir found a lakeside and a tree nearby. Her reading of lake monstes in webnovel made her beware of not getting close to the lake as she had read of countless outcomes that could happen.
As she sat down under the tree she opened her system shop browsing through items she could buy
Mimir has gained another 10 points by looking harmless to people who are on guard
"..."
'What kinda bullshit point is that? Anyways let's see.. we have healing potions, smoke bombs...oh? Is that a dagger?'
Her eyes lit up. She was always infatuated with daggers. Seeing as the dagger boasts the users stealth,a little stamina and usage of less stamina she decided to buy it. Those were the basic stats she needed then.
A swoosh sound nearby made her alert. It has been a while since she felt like someone was staring at her. And her innocent harmless look could have grabbed attention of wild predators as well. Well to her surprise it was a squirrel. She let out a sigh of relief and sat down and closed her eyes to rest a little. But Soon enough a familiar voice squeal. At least it sounded like one.
As Mimir opened her eyes she saw just as she expected a pair of shiny orange eyes were looking at her with awe.
"Aaaa!! I am so sorry sister Mimir! I didn't mean to wake you up! You just looked so pretty!"
'Well you did! Congrats kid!"
Mimir said in her mind while just smiling at her softly
"It's alright Sophia. I wasn't sleeping"
She took her hand again and stood up as Sophia told her the dinner was ready and everyone in the camp were eating.
After hearing her they went back to the camp and had dinner. It wasn't anything lavish like you'd see in games. It was simple made dinner and very bland due to the lack of spices with them. After somehow stomaching it Mimir went back to the lakeside to take a walk. She was pacing around a little nervous. The feeling of someone watching her never faded. Something was indeed wrong
'What the fuck? System can you confirm I am not in any horror genre? Or something like murder mystery?'
System.. analysing... Analysis finished. Replying to Mimir. There is no such genre tag as Mimir speaks of.
'Phew.. So it's either Paranoia or...'
Before she could finish she heard a sinister chuckle. Not the villainous kind she'd hear before.
"What a luck~ The beauty is brought to me by fate"
Mimir's eyes almost rolled out of her eye sockets.
"Aa..Shibal..."
She let out a very familiar Korean curse under her breath turning around to find an indeed sinister looking man who was probably a part of the camp. She looked deadpan at him.
The man laughed again making Mimir wonder if he had a few screw loose.
"Don't be shy little girl~ I'll protect you in this place~"
Mimir could swear she was gonna barf
"Oh you son of a fucking bitch... Can't you... Keep it in your goddamn pants?!"
Unknowingly Mimir activated her resonance skill.
Resonance with an ally nearby formed. Player has been granted physical strength increase in her hands
'That's perfect '
Mimir smirked punching the man on his face causing him to fall back and hit the ground where a rock nearby hit his head causing him to bleed out.
The smirk fell off Mimir's face
"Oh shit did I kill him?"
She mumbled in a low voice
"Fucking hell I am not rotting in prison! I need to go back to my home! In Seoul!"
She almost screamed out as she felt someone with a fast pace reaching out to her. Then it hit her. There's someone else here too! The one who resonated with her. She took her knife out from her system bag and turned around ready to stab whoever it was but the one who stopped her grabbed her wrist and dropped the knife off her hand yelling out to her
"Wait hold on hold on! I am not your enemy!"
The unfamiliar female voice made her a bit confused.
'Did that guy have someone assassinating him or what-'
Her mind wandered to useless thoughts as the other girl spoke up
"Look I am gonna come of as weird but do you happen to know What earth is?"
Mimir's eyes lit up as she almost jumped like a rabbit as she also gasped from happiness
"Oh my god! You're from Earth too?!"
Mimir exclaimed hugging the girl as the girl also hugged her back
"Aaaa!! Finally! Finally someone like me!"
After the small reunion between fellow transmigrators they both sat down near the lake
"So... What's your username here?"
Mimir asked leaning back on the tree.
"It's Kyra"
The girl replied as she took off her mask
"How about you?"
"I am Mimir. I just got transmigrated here today"
She heard a sigh so Mimir turned to Kyra
"What's wrong Kyra? How long have you been here?"
"A year..."
Kyra muttered under her breath which shocked Mimir. The world of Norn wasn't even released back then!
"But the world of Norn came out like a month ago!"
She heard Kyra sigh again.
"I know.. My uncle was part of the developer team so I got the chance to use his beta account to test the game out. That day after I was going back to home I was pulled into this world by.."
Kyra paused for a second as Mimir sat up curious
"By?"
"Fucking Truck kun"
Mimir's jaw dropped
"I can't fucking believe I got Isekai style transmigration through THE truck kun!!"
Kyra scoffed as Mimir bursted out laughing
"Stop laughing!! It's not funny!!"
Kyra whined as Mimir finally calmed down
"My bad pfft- anyways. I have a way to do things without us doing anything and going back to our world"
Mimir wiped the tears from laughing too much
"You can do that?"
"Yeah. I am planning to change the genre of this game. I am looking for the main male lead of this game. You've played the beta so you do know right?"
Kyra nodded showing Mimir a badge
"Yeah I am part of his guild's elite members. He's actually here"
Mimir smiled brightly at her
"Great! Long story short I will play the role of his damsel in distress female lead"
It was a small yet long pause before Kyra spoke up again
"...So classic action anime trope?"
"Well it'll keep us safe?"
Kyra nodded after a while
"Well I've been here for a year so it won't hurt to try your way. But How will you catch his attention?"
Mimir smirked and this time despite her angelic looks of the current body the smirk looked unsettling
"We already have a lamb of slaughter "
She looked at the body of the guy who had previously tried to attack her. Kyra nodded. After discussing their plan Kyra jumped up on the tree with her skills to bring the male lead nearby as Mimir jumped on the lake screaming out for help
"KYAAAAAAA!!!! HELP ME! SOMEONE HELP ME I AM DROWNING!!"
Soon enough a crowd formed nearby .Due to water in her eyes she couldn't see properly but she felt someone pulling her up from the waters. When Mimir opened her eyes she saw A handsome face. Classic but he looked just like how a male lead should look. Mimir almost got tempted but she snapped back to reality
'focus Mimir! Where's Kyra's
She looked to the side seeing Kyra standing besides him as she gave Mimir a nod. Mimir smiled discreetly as she clinged onto the man sniffing and sobbing
"Help me please... I-i got attacked by that man!"
She wiped her tears which very high at chance could be water from the lake as she stared at the man. Her current body's face was the perfect weapon as she looked pitiful and indeed like a maiden in distress needing someone to protect her.
"Sir Sylvian! There seems to be another person here!"
A man yelled out as the grey haired man who was called Sylvian put Mimir down on a wooden stool and covering her with his coat
'okay he's definitely looking like a male lead here's
Mimir thought to herself as Sylvian came back a while later kneeling down to her height and asking politely
"Miss If you don't mind me asking what happened here? How did that man die? And how did you fall in waters?"
Mimir fake sobbed a little
'Fuck you mean I killed that guy?! Unexpected first murder but worth it'
"Ugh...I-i don't know..."
She hicced and sobbed again
"He... That man wanted to force himself onto me"
'Well I don't know what he wanted but the dead don't speak now so they?'
"I-i tried to get away.. and-and pushed him away! But he also pushed me in the lake"
She started fake sobbing again hiding her face
Sylvian nodded standing up as Kyra came over
"Sir Sylvian! This lady. I know her. She's from the same village as me and is awakened how about we have her join our guild?"
Sylvian smiled and nodded
"Of course Kyra. I trust your judgement. She can do her application and we'll let her join the guild"
"I apologise but that wouldn't be possible "
Another Familiar voice spoke up . When all of them looked at the source it was Raymond followed by a worried Sophia. Sophia ran to Mimir checking if she was alright
"Sister Mimir are you alright?!"
Sophia asked before dumping a shawl on her that she got from the camp.
Sylvian looked at them for a second before looking back at Raymond
"Guild leader Raymond May I ask why is that not possible?"
His words polite but hostile. Clearly they are fighting for a member in their guild but no one wants to say it out loud
"Because Sophia has promised her and Miss Mimir will join my guild"
'No no no Absolutely not. Remove this scene immediately system! Switch the plot! Not such cheesy ass stuff!'
As if system heard her pleas Sylvian spoke up again
"We should let Miss Mimir speak in this situation and considering she was attacked under your care is not giving you a positive light here "
A long pause was there before Raymond spoke up with a chuckle
"You're right. It was indeed my fault in this case. My apologies. Miss Mimir can join wherever she wants and I'll take responsibility for that man"
'Things got wrapped up fast'
Mimir thought as she looked at Kyra who let out a sigh of relief as well.
