Ari woke up to find herself in the body of a newborn female beast cub, her mind still reeling from the shock of her sudden rebirth. The last thing she remembered before her new life began was the chaos of hijackers on her plane, followed by the devastating crash that claimed the lives of all the passengers, including her own. As she struggled to come to terms with her new reality, Ari was overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. She had always suffered from androphobia, an intense fear of men, and despite years of psychiatric treatment and medication, she had never been able to fully overcome her condition. Even in her previous life, she had struggled to make intimate contact with her own family. As she looked around at the unfamiliar world, she now found herself in, Ari couldn't help but wonder if she would be able to survive in this strange new place. Despite her condition, she was determined to find a way to adapt and overcome her fears.
My name is Kim Ahri and for the first time in my 30 years of life, I can finally achieve my dream of having an international vacation not related to work.
My destination is the City of Love, Paris.
Romantic isn't it?
If you are asking if I am traveling with my boyfriend..
I'll say..
HELL NO!!! I am traveling alone but not lonely.
Yes, I know it is awkward for a single since birth person like myself to travel to the City of Love alone, but I don't care. I just want to travel hoping to finally find my soulmate elsewhere despite my special condition.
Yes, the reason I am single since birth is because I have androphobia. But that's okay, because I am diligently undergoing therapy and medications since forever.
I woke up early in the morning to finalize my preparation and set out early to check-in at the airport.
I was so excited during the flight...
Not knowing...
That it will be the last flight I will ever have in my entire life.
I took my medications upon boarding the plane because a man was seated beside my designated seat.
I sat down beside the window, pulled up the hood of my jacket and took a nap.
I woke up due to the commotion. I was shocked and confused.
There were hijackers aboard the plane.
I was panicking in my mind and my heart was beating so fast. My anxiety is already overwhelming me as one of the hijackers pointed his gun against my head.
The man yelled to me demanding me to pull down my hood, remove my jacket and hand it over along with my bag.
I was trembling while silently telling myself, "RIP Happy travel. Why am I so unfortunate?"
I instantly obeyed the man's demand, but as I pulled down my hood and removed the jacket, I felt the urge to puke.
"OMG not now!" I whispered to myself because I was afraid to provoke the man.
I pulled myself together as I gave him my jacket and my bag.
He suddenly grabbed my pale and numbing face, then looked intently while smirking with his lustful eyes. I tried to struggle as I mumbled to my mind, "Oh my goodness! I can't hold it any longer!"
I suddenly vomited on his face as I fainted in fright while thinking "RIP my dear life this may be the end. Sorry mom, I think I won't be able to come back home alive"
I don't know how he reacted after I fainted, but I felt like my body was thrown over then an old woman held me while trembling and mumbling as if praying using a language I am not familiar with.
I still couldn't feel anything due to numbness but the last thing I remember was that the plane suddenly lost its control as the pilot was shot dead then I fainted again due to hyperventilation and panic.
I didn't even know if I died due to a plane crash or due to cardiac arrest triggered by my condition.
Well, rest in peace my dear self, rest in peace. I still regret not being able to find love during my past life.
"Damn it! Why me? Why am I so unlucky? Oh dear God, what sin did I do to deserve such life? I only wanted to finally live a normal life and finally find the special someone I can share the rest of my life with. But why? Why do you detest me so much to the point I am unable to find my soulmate and experience what love is? Why?" I yelled and mumbled to the air while I was in the abyss as was slowly sucked into a wormhole.
I woke up in a dark, cramped and damp place.
"Am I alive? Or is this the afterlife?" I thought to myself.
It's so slimy, but I can hear some people mumbling and chatting from the distance outside this wall like thing.
I feel like I am trapped inside a capsule or shell like thing.
I tried stretching out as much as I can and felt like I was breaking out into some kind of shell.
A few moments later; I finally broke out of the shell and realized that I was inside an egg. I looked around and saw a few more eggs that are clustered in a group that varies in number. I was too tired to crawl out from the shell so I lay down on my tummy like babies do.
I think I became a baby as I looked at my tiny little chubby arms.
However, why did I come out of an egg? Where am I? Did I die and was reborn into an unknown world?
"Ooodjee! Wah iihh hee!? (OMG! What is this?!)", I shouted.
I was so frustrated as I realized that I really turned into a baby.
I tried to crawl out from the shell, then after a few tries, I was gasping for air due to exhaustion. I yawn a few times and almost fell asleep.
"Ahgu! Daeet!(Argh! Dang it!)" I shouted frustratingly as I lay flat on the tummy.
I sleepily, looked at the egg shell parts that I broke and noticed that I was placed on top of a blue furry animal pelt blanket and is isolated from the other eggs.
I heard footsteps approaching, but I couldn't see their faces clearly as I uncontrollably shut my eyes slowly to sleep.
Though half asleep, I can hear a commotion while I was being held by a familiar yet firm warmth.
From the side, I can hear a voice of a woman arguing with the crowd as the person holding me stayed silent yet caressing my hair as if reassuring me that everything will be okay.
I can't understand what they are saying as they are speaking a language I never heard of. The only thing I know is that they are arguing about me.
I dozed off a few times before I was able to wake myself up. I opened my eyes and angrily looked at them.
"Ewo eeh ek! (WTF! What is going on?!)", I shouted as if scolding everyone.
Silence suddenly surrounded the room as they all looked shocked upon seeing my eyes.
They suddenly bowed down praising words I couldn't even understand. At that moment, I finally realized that I was reborn into a world of beastmen.
OMG! This jerk of a God really is playing tricks on me. Why am I transmigrated into a world like this? Why do these beasts; or men; or orcs; or whatever they are, treat me like a pest in a few moments, then bowed down in front of me the next second? Are they crazy or am I crazy?
