Kryreth

A New World Awaits
I am Kryreth, but that wasn’t always my name.Once, I lived a quiet, repetitive life—work, home, caring for my cat Ellie, and spending my nights lost in videos and games. I was an introvert, struggling to connect, watching the world move past me like a film I wasn’t part of. It was isolating, but I had grown used to it.Until the message appeared."Are you happy with your current life?"An odd question to pop up on my screen. I answered without much thought—No. The message vanished. A few minutes later, another one appeared:"Would you like to change that?"I scoffed. A scam, obviously. I tried to close it, but it wouldn’t disappear. I ignored it, dragging it off my screen, but it always returned. The next morning, as I was getting ready for work, it was still there—persistent. Even on my work PC, the same words stared back at me.By then, it was unsettling.As I was about to leave for home, my phone rang. The caller ID simply read: GM.Instinct told me to ignore it. But just as my finger hovered over the decline button, Ellie brushed against my hand, answering the call instead.In an instant, light consumed my vision—blinding, overwhelming, unnatural. The world around me vanished. Wind rushed against my skin, and as I reached up, I realized—these weren’t my hands. My body, my form—completely different. Before I could process it, I crashed into a tree and landed on something soft and… moving.A blue creature squirmed beneath me. Alive.Then, I heard a voice."It would have been easier if you had just answered the message."A figure stood before me. Cloaked in an aura of authority, he introduced himself as Game Master—GM for short."You wished for change, and now you have it," he explained.This world—a place beyond my own—was vast, shaped by others who had arrived before me. A world filled with strange creatures, powerful beings, and untold possibilities. My new body was no accident; it was protection, a form crafted for survival.Then, I realized something—Ellie."Where is my cat?"GM smiled knowingly. With a wave of his hand, a small white fox emerged from the shadows—sleek, with black legs and a diamond-shaped marking on her forehead."She, too, has changed. But she is still by your side."As I took in my surroundings, GM’s voice grew distant."This world is dangerous, Kryreth. Some will be allies, others will not. The path ahead is yours to forge."And just like that, he was gone.The wind carried a whisper of things unknown.My journey had begun.
