"Freya! Come here!" Maria shouted. "The fire is going out."
"I think I should go now, otherwise she'll wake the beasts around us," she said. "Why don't you join us for the meal?"
"Sorry… I don't feel hungry."
"That's bad for you," she replied with an unusual smile and left. "Let's talk some other time, Nawfi!"
"Okay… sure,..Fre..ya!" he said, peeking at her status window.

She was almost gone when she suddenly turned back.
"By the way," she said, "don't worry about Amnes Magic. You'll be just fine in three or four days."
"Okay," she added, "Good night then."
"Good night."
She moved towards the campfire.
"What did you pour into the fire?"
"I didn't do anything," Maria replied. "It was Leev. He put some strange leaves into the fire."
"Leev!" Freya shouted.
"Sorry!" Leev said, terrified. "I won't do it again."
Leev tried to run away from Freya, and Maria was laughing at him.
It seems they are too close and enjoying it. It's sad though because I don't know anyone in this world. I know what you guys are thinking… That's right… I'm not from here. I'm from another world, a planet called Earth. It's been months here, wandering around the forest. After so much struggling—eating snake meat, almost dying trying to find water, horrifying sleepless nights, running for my life from strange walking trees… and then, at last, I found living humans. Everything seemed abnormally normal until now… Just one thing isn't clear to me. That is… why the hell is this RPG Isekai-ed?! I've never played RPG games before!!
Currently in the real world,
The bell rang.
Students were leaving the classroom.
"Almost!" a teacher with glasses said. "Did you happen to contact Nawfi recently?"
"Sorry, teach," a thin-looking boy replied. "I've tried several times to contact him, but his phone's switched off. I also went to his house, but no one was there."
"Ah…" the teacher said, concerned. "I hope he's okay."
"And you should bring your language class assignment," the teacher added.
"I will teach!!" the boy ran off.
"Almus!" the teacher shouted and smiled. "That crazy astro freak."
A girl was standing behind the wall, listening to their conversation.
"Nawfi! " the girl whispered in a concern tone, "where are you?"
In the stillness of the night, deep within the forest,
Nawfi tossed and turned in his sleeping bag, unable to fall asleep. He sighed, trying hard to sleep.
"Crouch… kekkkk…"
A strange, creaking noise came from the bushes nearby. Nawfi's eyes snapped open, his body immediately tensing. He glanced around. Everyone else was fast asleep and he confused do to do.
"I should wake them… but what if something comes out and attacks? I can't take any risk…"
With a quiet exhale, Nawfi pushed himself up, his body moving with practiced caution. He silently walked toward the sound, each step deliberate. As he reached the bushes, he parted them carefully.
The moment he saw what lay beyond, his heart stopped.
A sharp wave of fear surged through him, a jolt of terror striking his spine as if a bolt of lightning had coursed through him.
There, standing in front of him, was a towering shadow, like a mountain.
It was the same figure he had seen once before—a Red Dragon. Its massive, menacing form loomed over him, its molten amber eyes glaring down at him with a deadly intent. The dragon's heavy breath echoed in the night, and its gaze never wavered, locked onto Nawfi with cold, unblinking focus.
