《New Resident of 5th Apartment》Chapter 1: Surprise after five years
Advertisement
*Thump!*
A document slammed on top of the old dusty desk.
A handsome looking young man removed dust from his suit and placed his arm around the slim waist of a beautiful girl like a flower.
With appearance better than most celebrities, from every direction, those two looked like a perfect couple that made for each other.
"Write your name on this and be over with it."
Said man pressed signature space on the document and gave a disgusted look to the woman dressed in an office suite with appearance looks like a dried mummy in front of him.
"Just sign here, and I give you your barn back to you."
Just like a doll, the woman's head swung back and forth due to her weak malnourished body.
"Still stubborn idiot, you better to sign your name when I return, or else I call the police for barging in my house."
Said man leaves the room along with a girl, leaving behind a dumbfounded woman.
Left alone in an old apartment, Otori Sawako breathed a long sigh.
The thing in front of her was a Divorce Agreement from the man she married.
One month ago.
***

Sawako breathed in the fresh air and then took out his smartphone.
November 5, 2025.
“I-if you still feel something weird or uncomfortable, please do inform me and come back here.”
The doctor in a white gown mentioned while raising his glasses.
Sawako nodded and went out.
The nurse next to the doctor fumbled while looking at his chart.
“How could she be fine as if nothing had happened ?”
When she was hit by a cargo truck and entered the emergency room, Sawako's appearance couldn’t be explained by words.
The major surgery that lasted for 17 hours barely caught her lifeline, and the chances of his consciousness returning were only less than 10 percent. And even she get out of it alive it was almost 100% guarantee she became disabled.
They able to save her life, but she spent the past five years in a coma.
However, after only a day where she regained her consciousness, all the critical wounds, including internal injuries, were gone like it never happened in the first place.
Surprised by her recovery hospital staff in the name of rehabilitation they checked her body in past one mouth they found nothing unique or weird thing in her body. Eventually, all of them decided to let go of her.
“Word is full of mystery"
***
'For missing multiple works and ignoring orders. By order from higher-ups of Tokyo's 8th Player Management Department decided it is appropriate to fire you.'
"Well, of course."
Sawako received a message from the head of the department while reading the agreement.
It felt weird for her when her husband with an unknown pretty girl welcomed in her home. Followed by the threat of sending her prison for entering her home.
"Oh, that is why."
Sawako exclaimed as she understood the content of the divorce agreement, during her five years of coma her husband transferred her everything under his own name leaving her with nothing.
If she refuses the contract, she will be left with nothing and sent to jail for trespassing private property.
Only five years have passed since she returned to Japan from another world.
As Sawako's memories of living in Japan have already faded, her marriage it is already disappeared into nothingness. As in first place, it was something she and he made for the benefit and stable life, nothing else.
Her past self would be screaming or crying for throwing aside with nothing, but for the current her it is nothing but a minor inconvenience.
Even the lost her house, car, and sent to jail, as a goddess she already possessed strength and all kinds of treasures and battle spoils that her followers offered to her.
She can have anything if she wants.
However, Sawako decided to live as herself at the same time as a new goddess on earth.
Please open the gate of the astral plane and meet the administrator.
Suddenly a system screen popped in front of Sawako.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
