Amber handed a booklet of some sorts to me, but in my shocked state of mind, I was too disoriented to properly comprehend what it entailed. A thought, one of the highest degree of insanity, kept circling around in my head.
Did I somehow get transported to the world of Genshin Impact?
"Are you feeling alright?" Amber asked, concerned etched in her voice. "Any headaches or discomfort?"
"No, I'm…fine?" I responded. Yeah, my voice wasn't the picture of confidence, and I was most definitely not fine. My brain was a jumbled mess of confusion as I answered with the common response everyone tends to say when they are in fact absolutely not fine.
Isekais, a sub-genre of fantasy anime I am intimately familiar with. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has imagined themselves in another world. To find myself in such a scenario was ludicrous, and that was putting it lightly.
"That's good to hear!" Amber chirped, her bright voice jarring my dazed mind. Maybe I did have a headache.
Laughing awkwardly in response, I asked, "Yeah, it is. So… uhm, where am I?"
I had a vague idea of my current location. Probably somewhere in Mondstadt. If I were to give a specific guess, it'd be somewhere in the Knight's of Favonius Headquarters.
"Oh right! You must be very confused right now."
That was putting it lightly. My mind was a whirlwind of unorganized thoughts and questions.
Where am I?
Is this a dream?
I'm starving.
Did I die after that crash?
I feel no pain.
Am I hallucinating?
Is this really Teyvat?
I'm probably dreaming.
Am I still gonna somehow be haunted by artifact rng and gacha?
Amber really does look similar to her.
How do I get back home?
"Right now, you're in the city of freedom, Mondstady. Currently, we're residing in the Headquarters of the Knight's of Favonius. Specifically the medbay," Amber explained, confirming my suspicions. "Though, I doubt that's what really is on your mind right now."
"Yeah," I said, nodding. "Is this all a dream, or…?"
Amber shook her head in response. "As crazy as it seems, it's all real."
"The time," I called out, my voice a mix of denial and desperation. "Give me the time."
Time is a concept a dream could never replicate - always muddled and disorganized, no matter how lucid or realistic the dream. It acts irrationally, in a non-linear fashion. The perception of time in a dream is always off, and physically being able to see the time on a clock is indicative if someone is in a dream or not.
Amber pointed to a clock on the wall, something I hadn't noticed up until now. "It's 11:12 in the afternoon. But why ask for the time?"
I ignored the question, opting to pay close attention to the hands on the clock. The second hand ticked slowly, in intervals of one second while the other two hands stood still, their movements slow and nearly imperceptible to the naked eye. Looking away and looking back, I was greeted with, much to my dismay, nothing out of the ordinary. No illogical leap in time, just the hands on the clock reporting that it's 11:13.
The revelation of the fact that I truly did somehow get transported to another world hitting me with all its force. Putting my head in my hands and bringing my knees close to my chest, I took a deep breath in an attempt to console myself.
It could be worse. I could be dead.
I let out a deep shuddering breath. Hopefully my stress and worries were let out with it as well. Probably not, but one could hope.
Damnit Truck-kun. Getting me even while I was in the safety of my car.
I let out a mirthless, self deprecating chuckle. Shaking the negative thoughts out of my head, I felt something land on my shoulder. Looking up, I saw the form of Amber. She was right by my bedside, her right hand planted reassuringly on my shoulder, a comforting smile adorning her face.
I couldn't help but be entranced by Amber's beauty when she happened to be this close to me. Her long, silky, dark brown hair made me just want to run my hands through it. Her gold eyes, a fair bit more golden than hers, were captivating in a sense that I could get lost staring into them all day. Her fair skins, smooth and unblemished - perfectly taken care of. Her figure, not overly busty nor curvy. But the curves were there and they developed into a very alluring sight.
Her teeth, perfectly white, accenting well with her captivating smile. Her lips, lush, red, and so very kissable. Her red sweater hugged her tightly, showing off her fit and captivating figure. Her short shorts, so short they were borderline indecent, showed off her toned thighs and legs nicely while also teasing more intimate areas of her body.
It wasn't fair how similar they looked - even their names were almost identical.
"I'm really sorry we took you from your home," she apologized, snapping me out of my trance. Amber even bowed down a bit to emphasize her sincerity. "It must be really hard finding yourself in such a new environment."
"Honestly, I'm grateful. I would have been dead otherwise."
"Really?"
"Yeah," I answered. "I was on the brink of death after that crash. You saved me, so thanks."
"Oh, it wasn't me who saved you. It was the combined efforts of the brightest talents of Teyvat that brought you here."
"Ah. Makes sense I suppose."
It'd be pretty wild to assume that just Amber herself brought me here. Speaking of, "So, why was I brought here in the first place?"
This is probably the part where I'm introduced to some world ending threat. A demon lord to slay perhaps? Or maybe a world ending disaster to stop.
"It's a long story. Just know that as your agent, I'll be there with you every step of the way."
"Uh-huh," I said, not quite getting what she was saying.
"I think it'll be easier if I got the others here to help explain."
By others, I think she means those who summoned or aided in summoning me here.
"Wait right here," Amber commanded. "I'll get the others and be right back."
Once Amber left the room to go fetch the others, I took notice of the booklet she handed not long ago. In my brief state of existential crisis, I must've thrown it to the side of the bed. Picking it up, it seemed to be more like a magazine of some sor-
I immediately dropped it after reading the title.
A Selection of Teyvats Most Eligible Females.
Why would Amber hand me something like this? What was she hinting at? Shakily, I opened the booklet, my curiosity getting the better of me.
Instantly, I was met with a catalog of naked females. Images of their top half of their bare body greeted me, along with a small description next to the pictures describing their age, size and even personality. Flipping through the booklet in utter disbelief, I came to learn that the booklet was very well organized. The first page was the recommended page, apparently showing the best of the best while the rest of the booklet had girls organized into different sections depending on their different traits. Stuff like heights, age, bust size, experience, etc.
It was disgusting, like some sort of fetishy porn magazine. Still, I couldn't bring myself to put it down, being the teenager that I was. I browsed the booklet, the thought of why Amber handed me this in the first place long gone from my head, replaced with the horny thoughts of an 18 year old.
"My, my, already entranced by the little book I made for you~?" a voice called out from the room entrance.
In my, uh, preoccupied state of mind, I failed to notice the three figures entering the room. Once I did notice their presence, as Lisa so kindly made known of by speaking, I quickly dropped the book in panic and embarrassment, my face hot and probably red.
"So tell me, cutie, anyone catch your eye?" Lisa asked, winking at me.
"I- uh - no - uh… -what?" I stuttered, unable to form coherent sentences.
Jean shook her head, sighing in exasperation. "Lisa, please. Enough with your antics."
"Awww. Such a shame," Lisa moaned out in disappointment. "But do let me know if anyone in there interests you. I'll get the two of you hooked up in no time~"
"Lisa, please."
"Ok course Jean, you can proceed with the explanation," Lisa said, before leaning into my ear and whispering words that shook me to my core. "Of course, if I'm the one that interests you, then… well, let's just say my office doors are always open for you, cutie~"
It's safe to say that something down there that had already become quite hard already stiffened up even more to an extreme extent.
"Y-Yes m'am," I managed to stutter out.
A naughty giggle escaped the librarian's lips. "That's a good boy~"
Jean could only roll her eyes before beginning what they came here to do: explaining the reason why I was brought here.
AN: Chapter will be short so updates won't become too irregular now that school has started.
