"I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry...," they repeated over and over.

I didn't know why this person was crying? Did I say something bad about them? When will they stop?

I couldn't think quite clearly but I do remember being in this place before. Yes, I'm certain I was in a dream this time.

But, this person's desperate voice was the only thing in my mind right now. I wanted to help them in some way but I couldn't even if I wanted to.

Unfortunately.. the world slowly grew black again... Will I see that person again?

My eyes opened. It was a familiar view with the dimly lit room.

I could feel a tear dropping down my cheek but I quickly rubbed it out.

What was that dream just now?

"I can't believe I already forgot..." I said to myself, " I want to see... again.."

The dream I just had made too much of an impact on me. As a result, I was left in contemplation.

After a few minutes, I slapped the ground with both my hands and stood up.

I realized that I wasn't scared or anything. Rather, I felt quite relaxed.

Actually, there is an obvious reason why I am calm. I didn't really like living in the "real world." So, being here had the opposite effect of being scared.

Anyway, I'm still stuck in this room. Is there anything here that could lead me outside? Is there even an outside?

Now that I think about it, doesn't this situation remind me of something. It wasn't from my childhood when I accidentally locked myself in a room. Oh, that's right.

Isn't this what they call an isekai....?

I was pulled in by that portal and it threw me in here so with that, it's an isekai right?

"Status."

Damn. My expectation dwindled.

Maybe I have to perform an action like from the anime's I've watched before.

I tried to bring down a status bar out of thin air with various hand movements but all of them bear no fruit.

Deep in thought again, I started to panic. Just a bit.

Can anyone tell how to get out of here?!?

What the hell!? Even that didn't work? I thought for sure, an all-knowing voice would respond...

I sat on the bed and and shortly lied down after. This actually feels quite comfortable, surprisigly. It's even larger than my bed at home.

Anyway, without any other options, I closed my eyes once again. Accepting my fate.

Minori. Are you already giving up?

Suddenly, I felt the sensation throughout my body changed. It didn't feel hard. I moved my hands around.

This feeling.... It was soft and firm. This wasn't the hard bed I was on.

I rapidly opened my eyes.

To my surprise, an entirely different scenery filled my view this time.
