View More"Sai, I'm only giving you a verbal warning this time….just don't do it again okay?.....".
A Supervisor with an annoying face said with a condescending tone
< BAAM! >
The supervisor's table shook as a fist land on top of the table, startled by the sudden outburst he Yelp.
"Verbal warning?....how about you just give me the termination letter?....you know that it was YOU who do the mistake, now that the manager was lashing out, and you want to dump all the blame at me??… Fuck you! listen to you dumb fuck!....you better man up and take the responsibility yourself! Or I will do anything to get your ass get fired next week…ANYTHING!!...you got that!!??..".
< BAAAMMM!! >
I was puzzled and annoyed by a sudden call this morning, it turns out to be my supervisor, who tried to make me take the blame for his fault. Although I sounded like a mad dog in that office just now, I'm not.
I am the kind of guy that won't let myself be pushed around by anybody. My life motto was, "don't mess with me, and I don't mess with you". I wasn't always a good guy, I was kinda bad in the past, I used to be a mafia member, I've done a lot of things which against the law, I never get caught I was good at it, everyone involved in the business knows my name, some scared, some respect, and some hate me. Overall it was a good time for me, now, I've changed, and I left the outlaws lifestyle and start earning clean money.
I worked in all kinds of jobs, from a building cleaner, and security officer to a convenience store clerk. Right now I'm working as a senior sales associate at a supermarket chain during the day and sous chef at night, to me as long as I can pay the bills, it's enough for me.
But as usual, everywhere you go, there's always a douchebag or two around you, and this time it's my annoying supervisor. People like him always made me feel like wanting to go back to being mafia and just blow his head open with a shotgun. Just thinking about what just happened made me want to lose it.
"Better head back home and eat…damn wasted my day off just for this…".
With the cigarette lighten up, I start my motorcycle and ride back home, the supermarket was only 10 minute ride away from my house.
"Ughhhh!!!...headache!!…ugh!! Why now?!…".
Sharp pain in the back of my head made me feel drowsy all of a sudden, but I still managed to drive safely to my house, and after a few minutes I arrived. Upon entering my garage, the pains stop, this headache of mine started just recently, about a month ago, it comes and goes just like that. It doesn't bother me much, as it's probably due to work stress. After turning off the motorcycle, I entered my house, sat down on my old leather couch in the living room, and start fiddling with my smartphone.
"OOhhh….new issue is out…".
I'm an avid reader; I love reading as it keeps me occupied most of the time. I also enjoyed informational books, fantasy novels, manga, anime, and games. Although I'm already 27 years old, I loved them, I probably can be categorized as a closet otaku, but still, I'm not antisocial, I was active in sport, and decisive in making choices (definitely not a wuss).
"…The story was good,…but why is the protagonist always a wimp....just kill the enemies….can travel between earth and the fantasy world but use the sword as the main weapon….just get a gun already....geez..".
As I vent my comments about the novel I read on my phone, the headache comes again.
"Ughhhh!!!…man!!....it hurts!!…fuckk!!..".
I stood up and headed to the kitchen. Frantically, I open the medicine cabinet and grab 2 paracetamol pills and swallow them. I tried to open the fridge, but slowly I started to lose my strength before I fall to my knees in front of the fridge while trying.
"Fuu…c…".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Activating Traveller Assist System... Activation successful].
"(Huh?.. activating what?....)".
I remember passing out from a terrible headache. Is something happening to me?.
[Checking host physical conditions…Healthy. No complications were detected... Implementing Status interface…. searching Host database for suitable Interface...interface Module detected…. implementation successful…..].
"(..Healthy?. Then what about the head-splitting headache just now?...interface?…how?....why can't I move my body?…)".
Although I was quite disturbed by the fact that, an unknown monotone voice echoed in my mind, for some reason, I don't feel panic, I even weirded out by how calm I am right now.
[All System Functional…Releasing full-body control in..5…4..3..2..1..].
"Ughhhh…what happening?…huh?... I can move my body now…..hmm, all my limbs are...…okay?....".
As the countdown ends, somehow I managed to move; slowly I sat on the floor and check my body. I found nothing odd about my condition it was just the same as before.
After breathing out a sigh of relief, I opened the fridge and drank the whole bottle of mineral water to calm myself. But something caught my attention, there was something weird about my surroundings.
"...Holyshit…..where the hell am I?…...".
It's not just weird, it's mind baffling to be exact. I'm in a freaking Forest, 360° trees, dirt, bushes, blue sky, fresh air, and birds chirping. Yeah no doubt, it's a Forest alright, the only thing that weird about it, was the area of 3 meters around me was my kitchen, also I'm still wearing my outfits, on my feet were my kitchen tiles floor, and in front of was my fridge. I stuck my hand inside the fridge is still cold, but I know the temperature was slowly going up.
"…this is very disturbing…am I.…dead?....".
[Greetings traveler, Please do not panic….first of all please state your name..].
"…..Sai…Mies Sai...who?...or rather what are you?..".
[Greetings Sir, Sir Mies Sai, I am T.A.S @ Traveller Assist System. I'm here to help you in your journey between two worlds…]
A calming deep male voice echoes in my head. it was shocking at first but gradually I managed to convince myself to stay composed.
"Hmm.. journey between two worlds?... Meaning?...can you explain what does that means?..".
[It's exactly as I said Sir, you have the ability to travel in between 2 worlds. Earth and Fantasma..].
Every word T.A.S said was fact-based only. There's no exaggeration whatsoever, quite a robotics like I must say. Right now, I need more information.
"Fantasma…explain".
[Fantasma is a world with similar composition as Earth, but unlike earth, Fantasma is a world of magic and sword, there's a variety of races aside from humans here. Also, the wildlife here is far more deadly than the earth. Current Fantasma is far older than Earth. The technological advancement in this world was only in the early medieval, wars and savageness is a common thing in this world. I advised you to be careful when venturing out.]
"…Hah…. I'm gonna keep asking you a few more questions...I want a clear explanation….are you clear?.".
[Yes Sir, I will try my best to answer all of them.]
Honestly, at this point I've already given up on being shocked or anxious, I've read multiple fantasy novels about reincarnation or transportation to a magical world, I even read one just a few minutes ago.
After a full 1 hour of Q&A session with T.A.S, I already got the full gist of my situation. One, I'm now a Traveller between Earth and Fantasma, I can travel between the world without any problem all I have to do is say the words to T.A.S and it's done. Two, Traveling between worlds can only be used once a day, and it has a cool downtime of 1 day before it can be used again, there are no limitations on how many it can be used.
Third, when 'Travelling' was used the area of 3 meters around me will be teleported as well, and whatever is in that radius will be brought together with me except another living being. Fourth, since I wasn't originated in Fantasma I won't be able to use Magic naturally, So T.A.S has created a special perk for me, which is I have a game like feature, which enables me to acquire 'Skills' and enhanced my 'physical status'. I understand all of it as this is usual fantasy novel tropes.
"...Hmm.. so all I had to do was think about the status menu and it will come out?..".
After confirming all the information, I decided it was time to see the menus. I wondered what my stat will look like?.
[Yes Sir…Showing status ].
"Owh….it came out..".
Out of a thin air, a blue tablet akin to a game menu appeared in my sight, about 12 inches far from my chest.

"…..high human?….why??..".
I know and am sure that I'm a normal homo sapiens, But why am I labeled as High human?.
[ It's because you came from Earth. Humans on Earth possess higher mental aptitude than any race that currently existed on Fantasma, The only race that possessed shared the similarity with you is the long-extinct race called High Human. Simply said, it's just this world's laws to differentiate you and at the same time assimilate you into this world. ]
"What about the (mid) and (high)…is that a skill level?.....".
[ Correct sir. ]
"How do I improve them?..".
[ To improve them, you need to constantly practice them, the ranks go from [ Low-Mid-High ]. You can also consume items to improve them. You can also increase your Status attributes in the same way. As for the World Travel Skills, you need all 4 attributes to reach at least 1.0 for it to increase the level. ]
"…I see….so about my Status attributes, is this number considered a normal number for a modern Man like me?..".
[ Yes sir it's also considered normal in Fantasma, aside from your 3.9 intellect of course. Normal intellect in Fantasma was around 0.5 to 0.7 as they weren't as advanced as earthlings ]
Hearing this, I know that I'm normal in both worlds, probably professional athletes back on Earth got higher physical points and Doctors got higher intellect than me. I only got 3 useable skills at the moment, which (World Travel), (Mini Map), and (Identify). (Identify) enable me to identify anything, it's a typical fantasy novel skill, as for (Mini Map) it's giving me the ability to see a real-time map of a 1-kilometer radius around me, it's just like a mini Map you found in video games.
"….I suppose that's it huh…well since I'm here...better take a stroll first,...this might be fun..hehe..".
~Arabella~As I stood and watched the drama that had just unfolded in front of me , I couldn’t help but wonder why .This isn’t what I had planned and this isn’t how I had wanted it to turn out but these two had just ruined it for me again .This men where one of the most important men in my life but yet they were going in hills over some bitch that I had no fucking idea about .I was literally sick to my stomach , that was exactly how I was feeling right now .I could imagine thinking that she would bring this much attention to her .Do you want to go in there , one of my dad's friends asked as he placed his hands on my shoulder I turned and looked at the disgusting man who had just laid his hands on me and I slapped it off .Don’t touch me , you have no right to do that .I walked towards the whole chaos and there was my husband soaked from head to toe .I never knew that he was going to come and I know that he knows me took wells , he knew that I am the one that did it
For the first time in years I was literally invited to a real party .Even though I didn't accept the fact that this was by far one of the best places that I have been to , I still couldn’t deny the fact that it was .After we managed to pass by the paparazzi to enter , she immediately pulled her hands off me and walked away .I could see the way people were so scared of her and the way they greeted her with fucking respect . I think that the woman that I was seeing here was a different woman entering , she had that sweet smile and the most craziest walking steps that I had ever thought of and the only thing that I could do at this moment was walked behind her as fast as I could to make sure that I kept the pace .I could never imagine it , I didn’t want to think that this was the same party that was hosted by the president of one of the biggest company himself I didn’t know why I didn’t why I didn’t know that we were coming to his house. The Shock was beyond what I felt at that mo
~pm Olivia’s residence ~I sat by the window watching the cars move by .I knew that I was supposed to be getting ready for that party but I just didn’t want to believe that out if everyone she choosed me to go with her .This was the least thing that I wanted and I don’t know why she wouldn’t just get this going already .I just wanted to be laid off but the bitch doesn’t want to let me go and most importantly I didn’t want to see her husband no matter what the circumstance might be the last person that ever wanted to see ruder now and at this moment was him .I looked at the time and it was already 9pm , I still don’t get who goes to a party at this time .My phone binged again and this time I think I lost it . I grabbed my phone and was about to throw it on the wall when I saw a text .The boss wants you out there now , you have 30 minutes to get ready , the gown is just by your doorstep already .I turned and looked at the gown that had been given to me the moment that I
She was standing by her office window with a glass of wine in her hands when I walked in .I prayed and wished that this wasn’t something that she wanted .I knew that I didn’t want to be seen with her no matter what the case might be , there was just something that I could place my haves on .“ you asked for me “ I shouted to her when I was literally tired of standing there and just watching her face .I knew that what I did might cause more punishment but I just didn’t care , I just wanted to know why she called .After about 30 minutes of us standing there , she finally turned and looked at me .She ignored the tired looks on my face and walked to the chair and sat down majestically like a princess .I didn’t know why she had to do this all the time , trying to prove a point that she was more wealthy than I would ever be .“ You can sit, “ her voice came out in a whisper .I didn’t want to repeat what I had just said , but I knew that it was best that I sat down before she changed
Two weeks passed in a flash , I couldn’t belive that I would still be working here even after two weeks .I didn’t know why that woman just didn’t want to let me go , was it because of something that she saw in me .No matter how much I thought about it , I couldn’t bring myself to understand that .I thought that it was all insane that this had to happen to me .It’s been two weeks since I got help from her husband to do the things that she had asked me to do .Truth be told , I knew that I wasn’t going to forget that night in a hurry no matter how much I tried to wipe all the memories away and it seems like since that day the workload that I was being given each day tripled .I hadn’t seen him since that night , I haven't even had a glimpse of him .I know that I should be happy that I wasn’t going to be disturbed by him but a part of me felt kind of frustrated .I know that he didn’t want me to go on and tell everyone that I had a fucking affair with him .I could never und
As I stood there waiting for him , I could feel my heart about to rip off from my chest .I had so many questions that I wanted to ask and so many things that I wanted to know .The case wasn’t helping at all and here I was getting all worried over things that actually didn’t matter.I felt ruined and I feel like he was doing all of this just to hurt me mentally .I hope he knows that I am not one that is going to go down weak just like that .I looked at my phone and it was already 10 :30 pm and yet he wasn’t back .I didn’t know why Louis had to do this to me ,I thought that him coming back was going to be the best thing that would ever happen to me , I thought that we are going to have a fresh start but this is exactly what I get .I know that I am wrong , but I am pretty sure that I have suffered enough just to watch him treat me like trash and ruin whatever I have built .I would rather die than let that happen , not after what my father and I had put into this compa
