Note as of 10/14/11: I would like to reiterate a warning I posted in my profile. The formatting of the following chapters is God-awful (I think this website must've done some updates regarding the way the stories were parsed since I last dropped by). Content-wise, it's sucks (not up to my current standards), and in addition, the formatting may drive you nuts. I am too lazy to reformat the whole thing. -Kaylee
Okay, I'm really tired of seeing fics about people getting stuck in Ragnarok Online or Rune Midgard, so I decided to try something different…
Something about a Ragnarok character getting stuck in the real world. Now, how's that for a change?
Like my other stories, I had this idea already for quite a while… In fact, this started out as a comic.
And like my other stories, it has my usual touch of crude humor.
The main character is a wizard named Kumiko. She's feisty, sardonic, swears and is heir apparent to the throne of Rune-Midgard. Please be kind with her
As usual, if you want me to continue the story, please review! I really appreciate comments and constructive criticism…
Now, on to the story!
Disclaimer for the whole fic: I don't own Ragnarok. Lee Myoung-Jin does.
Chapter One-It's a New World After All!
Prontera Forest…
"Lady Kumi! Hurry up!"
A poring with a backpack hopped along a dirt road in the forest. It gestured its mistress to move along faster, and was getting annoyed.
"Cut it out Rina! You're the one who dragged me all the way to this forest!"
A wizard with long blue hair (topped by a Tiara) and green eyes, holding a rod thingy complained to the poring.
Rina (the poring) just stuck out its tongue.
"Of all places, why here?" she asked, annoyed. "I'm getting tired too!"
The poring replied, "Ye pea-brained olde human know how to appreciate nature!" at the same time Kumi (the wizard) said, "Ye jelly-brained feeble-minded piece of sht doesn't know how to appreciate the complexities of human nature!"
After that they didn't speak to each other.
Until the next day…
"Rina, are we there yet?" Kumi asked.
"NOT YET!" the poring shouted.
"You don't have to shout!"
"I know! That's why!"
"What's that supposed to mean!"
"Ah, never mind…"
60 seconds later…
"Are we there yet?" asked an exasperated Kumi.
"Be patient, Kumi-sama! We are getting near!" the poring replied.
"Oh really? The last time you said that we ended up in our destination three days later!" Kumi retorted.
3 hours later, high noon…
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!"
Later in the afternoon…
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!"
Evening…
"Are we THERE YET!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Later in the evening…
"Let's take a rest!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO! I mean, YEEEESSSSSS!"
And so after a long day of walking, Kumi and Rina finally lie down (on the grass, nonetheless), yawn and go through REM. In short, they fell asleep.
The next day, walking a little further…
'Oh no!' Rina thought. 'We're lost! I don't know this place… but how am I going to tell Kumi…' The poring then saw a house not-so-far away, and it decided to pretend that they were on the right way and just needed a longer rest.
"Umm… Kumi-san, do you mind if we stay there for a while? I mean, we have to rest—"
Rina tried to say something, but then, Kumi was…
"You bring me all the way here… TO SHOW ME A DILAPIDATED HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! WHAT KIND OF PATHETIC JOKE IS THIS?" she shouted. "I SPENT THREE WHOLE DAYS IN THE FOREST JUST FOR THIS! THAT'S IT?"
She pointed to the run-down building, which was boarded up, had cracked windows, and had missing roof tiles. The unkempt appearance made it look as if it hasn't been used for a very long time.
"WILL YOU STOP FKING COMPLAINING AND GET YOUR ASS MOVING! WE'RE GOING IN!" Rina bellowed, jumping on her owner's head.
And after subduing Kumi, they pushed the door open.
And it fell down with a loud THUD.
By the time Kumi and Rina went in the door…
In Prontera Castle, the whole staff was panicking. Lady Kumiko, the heir apparent to the throne, has went off somewhere and hasn't corresponded or returned yet for 2 days. They were totally clueless about her whereabouts.
Meanwhile, General Yuki Kazama was making a report to the king, Kumiko's father. He was the one in charge of finding her and bringing her back. At the throne room…
The king was really anxious. "General, any updates on my daughter's whereabouts?"
"Umm…sir," said Yuki uncomfortably, "one of Lady Kumiko's maids said something about that poring of hers…"
"Really?" said the king, sounding a little amused. "and what did she have to say about the poring?"
"Well, the maid said that the poring mentioned something about Poring Land and then came hopping down the stairs and crashed down into one of the maids and then ran off and Lady Kumiko came after the Poring and… that's the last they saw her…" The general answered.
"I see…" said the king, looking even more amused. "I'm sorry to break it to you, general, but Poring Land is just pretty near this place, you know…"
"Well, Your Highness, I know that, so we searched the place but came up with nothing…" the general replied, now feeling very uneasy.
The king was not amused by the last piece of the general's report. "If that's all that you have to report, general, you may now leave…" He gestured toward the door.
"N-no sir! I'm not yet finished!" he said, feeling a little embarrassed. "You see sir… I remembered a conversation I had with Lady Kumiko…"
"Yes, and so?" asked the king, impatient.
"She mentioned something about the poring about having no sense of direction… and you know the trip they had to Payon? She said that they arrived three days later because the Poring advised them to take a 'shortcut' and then they ended up being chased by an ArchAngeling and then got lost then reached Payon after going back to Sograt Desert…"
"I see, general… SO YOU'RE NOW SUGGESTING THAT MY DAUGHTER DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH SENSE NOT TO FOLLOW THAT DAMN PORING OF HERS AND NOW SHE GETS LOST IN THE FOREST!" the king shouted.
"N-No… I mean, yes, I mean… No s-s-sire…" Kazama replied. The king may be aging, but he still had a healthy set of lungs.
Just like his daughter. (the lungs, not the aging part)
"Okay, general. You may go now. Continue your investigation, and bring her back as soon as possible. It is very important for her to get back." The king said.
"Yes…sire. Thank you, your Highness."
And he finally left the room, breathing a sigh of relief.
The king also sighed, but not for the same reason.
Back to our wandering duo…
Rina was getting guilty of not telling Kumi the truth: that they were lost. And so, the poring was thinking…
WHAT WILL I DO? WHAT WILL I DO? WHAT WILL I DOOOOOOOOO!
Kumi finally noticed her poring's odd behavior and asked, "Err… Rina? Is there anything wrong?"
With an aghast look on its face, the Poring replied, "I DON'T KNOW THIS PLACE!"
"…"
"Kumi-san?"
"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!"
"Er… actually I am…"
And then, with a star struck look (think anime) on her face, Kumi screamed, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!"
"Yikes!" the poring prepared to run for it.
And so, all hell broke loose.
"Jupitel Thunder!"
"Sight Trasher!"
"RINA YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!"
Kumi was still in her semi-paranoid state. Meanwhile, Rina was hiding out in the library.
Crack!
Smash!
Pow!
The door to the library fell down with a loud THUD. Kumi burst in, and her eyes fell on the poring. Rina went "WAHHHH!" and ran for it, but smashed against the bookcase attached to the wall, but you know how in those mystery tv shows the bookcase you're leaning on turns out to lead to some sort of secret passage? Yeah, that's what happened.
The bookcase spun, bringing Rina into the secret passage and hitting Kumi on the head, bringing her back to normal.
"Uhhh… That hurt…" Kumi said, a little dazed.
When she finally snapped back to normal, she saw the bookcase leading to a path. Curious, she went through it.
At the end of the passageway was some sort of modern laboratory. Unlike the rest of the place (which was falling apart), it looked as if it was built recently. The room was painted white, with lots of tables stuck to the wall. On the tables were random gadgets, weaponry, etc.
But what caught Kumi's attention was the big machine at the center of the room. Once again, her curiosity getting the better of her, she examined the machine. There was some sort of keyboard and a screen.
Then, the screen suddenly flashed:
Enter Destination:
Kumi was about to type something when a thing jumped on the keyboard.
It was Rina, cowering in fear. "K-kumi… I think you should look behind you…"
Kumi whirled, and saw a Baphomet (MVP) staring at her balefully, with her Bapho Jr. cronies.
"Uh, oh…"
Kumi panicked.
"Jupitel Thunder! Jupitel Thunder! Jupitel Thunder!" Kumi kept on shouting, sending the spells everywhere.
But it never hit the intended target, the Baphomet.
The Baphomet just continued to stare at her, but Kumi didn't really notice that it wasn't fighting back.
The Jupitel Thunder spells were bouncing around the room, and finally hit something.
The machine in the middle of the room.
WARNING! WARNING! MACHINE OVERLOAD! MACHINE OVERLOAD! WILL NOW INITIATE EVACUATION SEQUENCE
Out of nowhere, a portal suddenly appeared.
DESTINATION: EARTH
"What—" Rina and Kumi were about to say something, but then, the portal began sucking them in.
Rina got sucked first.
"LADY KUMIIII! HEEELPPP!"
"RIIINA!"
The portal continued sucking things in, and Kumi was one of those things…
"Hnnn…"
Kumi tried to get up, but she had a pretty bad headache…
Her vision was blurry, and she can't see anything clearly (obviously).
"Arrgh… Where am I?"
And that's the end of chapter one.
I typed and wrote this late at night, so I might've missed some typos there…
Well just some notes…
One, there are no Baphomets in the Prontera Fields or Forests.
Two, the rod thingy Kumi is holding is her weapon, the fabled Laevatein Rod once owned by Fenris Fenrir.
Three, I wrote the last part when I was half asleep.
Four, I promise that I will update soon. - (10/14/11) I LOL'd at this.
