Rhaë slowly pushes herself up and now she's sitting on the forest floor, still confused.
She's watching her surroundings with her deep pink predatory eyes after pushing back her midnight blue bangs. Features she inherited from her ancestors, both her pants lack these. Her father has platinum blond hair with pale purple eyes while her mother has pale pink hair with turquoise eyes. Her features are so different from them that her mother told her that they had to do a paternity test multiple times, not only for her father, but also her mother. They feared that she was swapped at birth, which she fortunately wasn't.
'Still, I should find a place to rest, I cannot stay in the open like this forever. The sun is setting.' Rhaë thought before she grabbed onto a rock beside her for support to get up.
She started walking with small steps, because for some reason her feet were weak. After walking straight for ten or so minutes, she finally spotted a cave.
She quickly walked closer and observed for a while before going in. She was looking for signs of animals using it, and there weren't any.
She entered the cave and slumped against one of it's walls. She was getting drowsy and her head started aching. She needed to rest before doing anything. And so, she closed her eyes and fell into the dreamland shortly after.
That's when a rustling sound came from the entrance of the cave. And suddenly, an enormous blue coral snake red head emerges from one of the bushes. It's deep green eyes stuck to the sleeping Rhaë in the cave.
It slithers inside silently despite his size, sniffs her and checks the inside of her mouth with his red tip tail. After pausing for a few seconds, the snake turns around and leaves.
...
...
...
Only to return shortly after. With a dead rabbit. The rabbit is at least ten times bigger than the average rabbit in earth so really it's more like a smallish bear than a rabbit. He decided on the rabbit after seeing her canines. Though smaller than his, still sharp enough to tell him that she's not a herbivore.
He sets the dead rabbit down and he sets down a bundle of wood with his tail before transforming into a handsome man with long red and silver hair. He puts up the wood in a tent like form with the remaining wood under it before lightning a small flame with his fingers.
Snakes should be afraid of fire, but he cannot afford to fear it. Because it's his blessing. Or so it's called. He never believed in anything other than himself, and the temple and it's followers are a weird and tacky bunch.
After skillfully skinning the rabbit clean, he cuts it into smaller pieces and then puts them on a sturdy branch of a different kind of tree than what he lit on fire before putting it on the fire.
He was focused and failed to notice a pair of unreadable pink eyes staring at him from behind. Rhaë simply calmed her breath before closing her eyes again.
'Maybe I'm hallucinating I don't know.' She thought before trying to force herself back into dreamland.
"But you're not hallucinating. That's a beastman." Said a voice in her head. A voice she didn't know.
"..." she simply turned around, startling the snake man and continued to keep her eyes shut and ignore whatever was going on.
"I know you're awake. Let me introduce myself. I'm [Transmigrator system 9183055555], I'm the one who brought you into this world by order of the Above. I'll help you with you life here." said the system who she was hearing from everywhere yet nowhere around her.
'If I cannot speak to it through my mind it'll have to wait.' she mumbled in her mind, she didn't want the snake man to know that she was awake.
"Of course you can speak to me in your mind. I have access to everything about you." continued the system in an exasperated tone.
"..." Rhaë frowned at the tone and she could feel herself getting upset. First, she was brought into another world with no explanation nor was she given proper time to prepare for this. Then a snake man suddenly braged into her cave...or his for that matter bit that's not that important. And now a system is getting cheeky with her?? And she just learned that the so called "Above" is the reason for her existence in this world.
"Humph!" Rhaëlya humphed and decided to sit up with a frown on her face, staring at the snake man's back with pink eyes glowing with anger.
The snake man was startled, he had never seen a female with such beautiful eyes. And such a beautiful face either. The female here weren't exactly ugly, but never had he seen such a beautiful one unless they're a part of an isolated tribe or sacred royalty. And even then, none could even be half as beautiful as the female glaring at him.
He wasn't upset that she was angry. He simply thought that he unintentionally woke her up which made her angry.
"Female, I'm not a threat and I apologize for waking you. I am preparing a roasted Hopper for you, please wait a bit more." Crypt told Rhaëlya before changing his position to face her while still carefully roasting the rabbit.
"...Who are you and why are you here?" Rhaëlya asked him in a tone that let him know, if he did something to piss her off even more, he'd pay the consequences.
