Chapter 1: Uncaring Loss.

　　(Selenia`s POV)

　　My past& I don`t quite remember it. Whatever happened in that life, my mind must have hidden the memories of it away, as it was probably just too traumatizing.

　　Even with my limited memories, I was aware that this world was different from my old one. It was like a novel. Simply put, this was a fantasy dimension, whilst my original one was a boring modern one.

　　Despite not having the memories, I was still a very quiet child. I hardly spoke or complained at all. My father in this life was a somewhat kind man who took care of me. But he was beyond poor.

　　He was an adventurer, and he would often be gone for a long time. He was pretty stupid, as I was always left starving. Though this was mainly my fault, as I never complain or do anything like that.

　　On one fateful day, he would commit a terrible sin. Blinded by his drunkenness, he tried to assault me sexually. Even though I am only 8 years old, I was still very beautiful. With pretty dark red hair. And a nice figure that a child shouldn`t really have.

　　He clearly mistook me for his deceased wife. As I wasn`t that responsive, I didn`t try to stop him at all. Luckily for my sanity, he stopped before he did anything to me. The man that I called my father looked disgusted by his own actions, despite not going through with them.

　　I would say his name, but that isn`t important anymore. The man wanted to hug me and apologize, but he realized that would be a terrible idea. Instead, he just told me that he was sorry, and then he left the room.

　　A few minutes later, or rather, now this is the present, I heard a loud thud. The house we lived in, was more like a shack. We lived in the middle of the forest, and the nearest town was probably a few miles away.

　　With a sigh, the most common emotion or expression that I actually show, I opened the door to the entrance of our house. Inside the room, was my father. Dead. He had hung himself&

　　Yeah, he almost did something terrible, but was killing himself the right thing to do? I can only blame this on his mind being intoxicated with alcohol& He should have just tried to make up for what he did, and never do such a thing ever again.

　　Instead, he decided to leave me alone in this dangerous world. Father of the year award will not be going to him, it seems& On the table was a letter. Opening up, I realized his intentions.

　　Okay, I didn`t& He never taught me how to read& He really didn`t think this through at all. He probably wrote down instructions in the letter for me on what to do next. As I cannot read in this language, said instructions are now useless...Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

　　With nothing else I could do, I took his knife and its holster, and then I left our house. I wish that I could take his sword, but I was far too weak to hold it.

　　My entire life in this world has been in this shack and the outside of it. I`ve never bothered to venture far from it. So in this sense, this is the first time that I will ever actually be experiencing this world.

　　I picked a random direction and started walking. My father didn`t bring any food home, and there weren`t any left in our house. As such, I will be traveling without any supplies to speak of.

　　Hours Later.

　　Currently, I am sitting on a tree branch. It took an hour or two, but I eventually found a small town. This would be a good thing, if it wasn`t currently being raided&

　　This is a fantasy world, make no mistake, but it wasn`t the fun kind. I wasn`t given a cool magical system that makes me overpowered, nor was I given anything to help me out in this world. Unless you count my loser father&

　　Though, I did oddly have very good eyesight. From this tree, it would take me around fifteen minutes to reach that town, but I could still see it perfectly clear, even from all the way over here.

　　The town wasn`t being raided by bandits, but rather by knights of some kingdom. I could see their emblem on their armor, but such iconography means nothing to me at the moment. I can only assume that they`re from a rival kingdom to whatever kingdom owns this land.

　　I felt bad about watching the most likely innocent people of this town be slaughtered, but I had no means by which to stop this horrible tragedy. At the very least, I can be a living witness to it. Or that is just the shitty reason that I came up with not to do anything to help them out.

　　The slaughter went on for many hours, and I was on the brink of starving to death. Luckily, all the soldiers left the town. As they have raped and pillaged to their heart`s content already.

　　Now, I wasn`t stupid, so I know there could very well be some stragglers left in the village. But I needed food, or I would starve to death. Either I die from starvation, or get killed by some shitty knight.

　　I made my choice and got down from the tree, and then I went toward the village. I called it both a town and a village, mostly because it fit both of those descriptions. Besides, I didn`t know what the people of the place would call it, and I never will, as they`re already all dead and gone.

　　A Small Trip Later.

　　The village was ghost town& The gore, blood and various dead bodies that littered the place, gave it a very haunting feeling. Oh my God& That is straight up an actual ghost!

　　At least it seems friendly& Well, not friendly, but it didn`t care about me at all. It was intent on continuing to cry violently. There were a few more ghosts doing the same as well. What a weird world that this is&

　　For my first check, I choose a relatively unraided or damaged house. I assume that it was the mayor`s house, as it was the biggest building in town. Outside the building was a horse tied to a random post. Someone is probably in this place&

　　After opening the door, it was pretty quiet. Walking around in the house for a while, I smelled blood, and I heard the sounds of sex. And not the happy kind&

　　Despite every bone in my body telling me not to, I went toward the noise. Said noise is coming from the kitchen. Opening up the door to the kitchen, I saw the body of a man with decent clothes on.

　　The clothes were of a higher quality than most of the bodies were wearing, so he was probably really the mayor. Was, being the key word here. Further into the room, I found a knight that was assaulting a woman.

　　The woman was probably the mayor`s wife& As she saw me, she practically begged with her eyes for me to run away. What should I do? I can`t just leave her here, right?&
