Chapter 07: What a Bad Luck!

Naomi crouched while hugging her knees, staring into the crystal clear glass shards with an emotionless face.

Some crystal shards were scattered in the floor. Naomi picked a few and then threw it into the wall while still crouching.

'What should I do?'

Thinking of the circumstances she was in, Naomi wanted nothing more than to weep.

'I never wanted to be transmigrated in an unknown world! If I did, atleast give me something that can help me!' 

Naomi was sullen and continued to pick and throw crystal shards as she remained silent and went deep into thoughts. Only the sound of crystal shards being thrown could be heard.

This scenario continued for a while. 

Heaving a sigh, Naomi stopped and stood up, shaking the dirt off her snowy white clothes.

"I can't keep staying here and do nothing." She muttered to herself. 

'Okay. I need to get out of here.'

She stared at the surroundings once again until her eyes settled on the crystal shards scattered on the floor.

Suddenly, an idea came into her mind.

'What if... I sell these?' 

She picked some crystal shards as she stared at them with excitement. 

The crystal shards were just like their name, they were crystal clear and were stunning as they look like they are of high quality.

It was a good thing that the clothes Naomi was wearing had some pockets that she was able to bring some crystal shards with her. 

"It would be a pity if I can't bring some of these crystal shards. It should fetch me a desirable amount if I was to sell these." She muttered to herself.

Giggling while looking at the crystal shards she had picked up, she continued to pick a few of those crystal shards and stuffed them into her pockets.

It took her a while to finish collecting some and stuffing them into her pockets. She only stopped when she saw that her pockets had become bloated.

Full of satisfaction, she smiled, "Alright. These should be enough for me to sell." 

Glancing once again at the surroundings where she had woken up, she felt a little hesitant about whether she should leave the place or not.

Of course, although she was elated while picking up the crystal shards and thinking about how much money she could fetch with it, there was still a bigger problem present and that was having no knowledge at the world she transmigrated to.

"Whatever. Staying here won't do me any good." 

If she decided to stay, before she could get a glimpse of the world outside this place, she would die of starvation.

Aside from the stone bed and crystal shards, there was nothing else there, ah!

Having made her decision to go out, she walked in the direction where a path towards the unknown lies.

'This should be the exit.' 

The way towards the exit was very long and isn't very wide. Just like the room she was in before, there were also crystals in the wall as well. Thanks to the crystals glowing, Naomi was able to walk properly and not stumble into any obstacles on the way. 

It was too silent that Naomi's footsteps could be heard.

While walking, she caught sight of a dim light that wasn't a product of the crystals glowing but light which was obviously coming from the outside.

Seeing this, her face brightened.

'The exit!'

She began to walk fastly towards the direction where the light came from and as she take a few steps, the dim light become brighter and brighter. 

Finally, the light enveloped her whole body and she saw the scenery outside.

It was a forest.

Yep, she woke up in a place that was situated in a forest.

Naomi didn't know whether to laugh or cry after knowing that she was transmigrated into an unknown world and for all of the place she could be sent to, she was sent in a forest. 

A FOREST!!!

She also felt irritated at the body her soul was sent to occupy. 

'Why is this body in the forest?!'

Aside from the forest being full of lush greenery and tall trees on which some bears fruit and some don't, the forest could be said to be one of the dangerous places you could be at.

Who doesn't know about the danger contained in the forest? A lot of wild animals lives here, ah!

Once again, Naomi wanted to weep.

'Oh, man. What a bad luck.'

Suddenly, a strong wind came, blowing some strands of her silver hair into her face on which she found annoying.

The wind passed by and the leaves rustled as a form of response of acknowledging its presence.

Although being not clearly seen as the tall trees together with its leaves and branches almost covered the sky, the sun had risen up above the sky and illuminated the forest underneath it.

The forest wasn't silent at all as the chirping of the birds could be heard from the sky. 

Although she considered the forest to be a dangerous place where she could be, luckily for her, she spotted no animals that could pose a threat to her. Also, she spotted some fruits as well that she could pick and eat at the present.

With this, she sighed although there are still some questions in her mind that needed some solutions.

Although the transmigration that happened to her felt unreal, it was still the reality. 

Maybe among those who transmigrated into another world, she could be considered as someone with a bad luck.

The forest looked just like one of those portrayed in fairy tales where they are full of lush greenery and wild flowers growing in random places of the forest, the chirping of the birds which was making the forest be full of vibrant. 

Despite that, facing the unknown would be the scariest thing of all.

There were countless questions and thoughts mixed up together in Naomi's mind as she stared into the distance. But only a few of them needed to be answered quickly.

Where would she go?

What is she going to do?

Would she last long in this unknown world?

How would her life turn out to be?
