《Witch's Contract》Ch 1: Reincarnated as an Alraune
Advertisement
[Why is the sky turning red? No, it is the whole world.]
‘As her conscience faded, the girl realized the world isn’t turning red, the feeling of a liquid in her head, blurred eyesight and the intense pain in her body, she knew for sure that she was dying.’
[…I see, so this is how everything ends.]
‘With her last breath, she closed her eyes accepting her death with a smile in her face.’
[Mom, dad, sis… thank you for everything.]
‘Whit those last thoughts. She expected to die.’
[However that won't be fun, would it.] ‘The voice of what appear to be a small and energetic girl echoed in her mind.’
[Who are you?] ‘Exclaimed the girl whit great surprise.’ [Also, why am I hearing someone speaking as a theater play narrator?]
‘Do not spoil another person fun.’ ‘I said with a gentle female voice.’
[She saying it by herself.] ‘The girl replier.’
[To put it simple, we need you to do something. Also don’t pay too much attention to her that is her hobby] ‘Said the small girl.’ [We will give you the chance to reincarnate in our home world, but in exchange, you will help us free our little sister, easy right.]
[Are you giving me am isekai plot?] ‘Said the dead one.’ [She just said dead one.] ‘Yes.’
‘We will contact you later after your revival in your new world.’
[Wait.] ‘She exclaimed as her soul was set over to her new world and new life.’
‘A world where information and intellect will be the ones that will help her stay a life, as for she to rebirth in the most weak {physically speaking} species in the world.’
‘As the newly reborn girl regained conscious, she started to look around her what she see was a farming field and in the far edge of it a house.’
[So is it true?] I asked myself. While trying to remember what happened?
Samanta Gutierrez Del Valle. That is my old name. A college student from Mexico studying as an exchange student in Japan, I was in my way to the airport so I can take a flight to my parents’ house for holidays, but then a huge earthquake occurred, and so.
[I died in an accident.] Said to myself then decided to focus on the next topic.
[Why are my legs under the ground, and why am I green?]
As I looked in my body, I realized that I was no human anymore. Green skin, leaves that seems attached to my wrists, that grows as long to cover my hand from the upper side, and my shoulders and upper chest, those grow to cover all my shoulders and till my lower chest.
I thought my legs where under the ground, but in reality they are in this huge flower like thing.

I tried pulling it off but…
[It hurts!]
However, I can feel my legs under it, but cannot move, and I think I am small, maybe I am a kid or something. My leaves are orange like colored, instead of having hair I have some leaves or petals as my bangs and a flower bulb in the upper part, and what feels like another bulb in the back of my head. Just by feeling with my hands is not enough I need a mirror or something.
[Maybe I am a plant like being, I think I have heard about a species of fantasy like this but cannot remember its name.]
As I was talking to myself, a small girl that looked like the typical countryside pigtailed girl approached.
[Are you a spirit?] She asked with a curious face.
[Yes I am. {I thought because this is another world I thought the language would be different}] I said.
‘Waaah’ she said with such a happy face before start to call her father and other around the farm. Sooner than later people gathered around me.
Among the crowd where non-human persons in the crowd, as far as I can see and with my knowledge in fantasy like creatures, I can identify some of them, something that look like a kind of goblin but not as decrepit but more human like, a kind of sheep like furry and dog eared persons.
[Oh Great Spirit of the forest.] An old man approach and talk to me. [We would like to give you an offering so our harvest can be abundant and healthy.]
{So he might be the chief, but even if you ask me.}
An idea come to me, I don’t know if I am a monster so I must ensure my safety first then try to contact those who resurrect me in this world, so I need shelter and food, but since I am a plant like thing I should ask for meat, otherwise would feel like cannibalism.
[I have heard your prayers, so I will gladly accept your offerings.] I try to sound like I am a big deal of a spirit.
The townsfolk cry in happiness so they hear my demands, I mean request, a small shelter like a cabin and some meat to eat, they didn’t seem to have problems with it, they are more like intrigued for how little I ask for.
{Maybe true spirits and Gods ask for a lot for something like this.}
Some of them brought me food; the meat looked somewhat how cow or pig meat looks. It is raw but still tasty, the taste it is like chicken but more sweet I think, maybe next time I ask them to cook it.
Some are already starting the build of a shelter around me that is good because I cannot move for now, I should figure how to before they realize I am not a spirit.

After some hours, the shelter was completed.
[They sure work fast.]
However, it looked more like a horse stable; it is small with a table at my right side just far enough to me to reach it while stretching my arm a bit, and it does not have a door so I can see what looked like the girl that found me house’s.
Two days passed and I figured how to take out my legs of the huge flower thing, I took some time in midnight to walk around without anyone noticing me so i can still enjoy a relaxed live being worshiped.
It also looked that my presence have some effect in their crops, I can tell by their happy faces when they harvested them. Then something came to my mind.
{Now that I think, do I have skills or something?}
I have read some Japanese light novels and mangas about being reincarnated in other world and the protagonist always have an op skill and an appraisal skill, maybe I am also have something like that.
I quickly returned to my shelter so I can try using skills without annoying anyone.
[Ok... appraisal]
Nothing happens.
[Maybe if I point to myself. Appraisal]
Nothing happens.
Therefore, I tried a lot more, but nothing happened.
[Ha, ha ha… you will archive nothing doing that.]
A familiar voice echoed in my head.
[You are one of those that send me here right.] I replied while looking around.
[Yes, my name is Alice.]
She appeared in front of me, but she is not something that I recognize, if I have to compare her look with something I know, I would say… a floating cotton sugar thing.
[By the way, I am not a fairy, god or demon.] Then what are you.
[Let me explain you somethings for you to be useful to my sisters and me.]
According to Alice, I am an Alraune; in this world, it is one of the rarest species of “Humans” almost thought to be extinct. We are physically weak but have a good magic affinity and sense, with a large variation of natural abilities.
What Alice want me to do is to free her sister Marcelle that was sealed two thousands of years ago by a “Hero”. I thought they might be demons but she said that they are known as “Witches”, but these seems to be different that the ones I knew from movies and games, she did not explained it all saying that I must meet with another ‘Witch’ that will do that.
She did not told me exactly what to do, just told me to travel and gather information, and try not to die and that if I do not cooperate they will just vanish me.
I ask her why she do not do it by herself and she replied…
[It is not fun if you have a totally broken character during the full play thought.]
With that, I can easily say that she is on top of this world, and to ensure that I do not stay in here too long trying to have a laid-back live she will give me a parting gift and taste of her power.
As I raised my head at the same time the sun raised I could see it, the once living farm is now a wasteland where nothing grows and the house from where I could watch that girl is now empty like if nobody live there in hundreds of years.
Now I feel a bit down those lives could be saved if I did not stayed for too long. I know I cannot escape, if I refuse she has the power to kill me instantly. She is not someone you play with she plays with you.
As I walked around the town, no soul where found in it, neither human nor animal, by the way Alice told me that every sentient being is practically a human in this world or at least it is at the eyes of the Witches.
[I do not think they were hallucinations, and if they were, it would be the same.]
Someone that has the power to vanish a town full of people and animals, only leaving the buildings behind and intact, like the finger snap in that super hero movies.
I entered in some buildings to search for things that I could use in my new journey. Found some food, a map, bags and a hunting spear. Looking around the chief house, I see it.
[A full body mirror]
Looking at myself allowed me to realize something.
[I am as tall as a twelve years old girl is and my appearance is too revealing.]
Just being covered by petals and leaves, I took some clothes mostly tops and upper sides of dresses. My leaves works as underwear and I cannot remove the huge flower in my waist, but I can alter its form so I make it look like a dress.
Looking at the map my destination was clear, east from here is a riverside track, by following it I can reach a bigger town called ‘Straida”, I should find some information in there, what kind of information? Anything is ok, fauna, flora, monster if there are, bigger cities and this world political situation, and the most important anything regarding Marcelle, otherwise I am done for.
I took everything I could hold and started to walk towards the town east gate, while remembering Alice words before leaving.
[I hope you will entertain me enough, good luck, and don’t forget our deal.]
Therefore, I started to walk off the town gate, towards a world where my past knowledge and logic might not work. With a smile in my face, I said.
[This might be fun.]

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan
