It's an Unreasonable Game-Like Different World! - Tanaka Ryoko 1

TANAKA RYOKO 1

Kyuhoumi Academy was widely known to be both a prestigious and highly selective school.

It boasted many famous alumni, and just being able to enroll was said to almost guarantee one's future success.

Tanaka Ryoko had been able to enter this much-desired academy. However, after the entrance ceremony, she found herself in utter chaos.

She had left the auditorium and was trying to head towards the school building, but for some reason, she ended up alone in a forest.

She looked around many times, thinking it must be some kind of mistake, but all around her was nothing but forest.

"Is this... a dream?"

That was the only explanation she could come up with. She had no other way to interpret it.

Given that, it started to feel like the fact that she had been able to enter Kyuhoumi Academy was also a dream.

If someone were to tell her that there was no way someone like Ryoko could get into the academy, she would likely accept it as true.

"If this is a dream... I hope I wake up soon..."

Hoping that this was a dream she was having the day before the entrance ceremony, Ryoko pinched her cheek.

It was definitely painful, but she didn't wake up, and her surroundings remained a forest.

What was she supposed to do? She was in a daze, but then she felt a vibration from the pocket on her hip and remembered that she had been given a smartphone by the school.

She was not allowed to bring her own smartphone to the academy, and was expected to use the one provided.

Perhaps she could use it to call for help.

Ryoko quickly pulled out her smartphone.

"Welcome to Kyuhoumi Academy"

"Please set your status"

"What the heck?!"

She just wanted to use the phone, but she was presented with a screen she didn't understand and couldn't operate.

Ryoko, who was not familiar with video games, had no idea what the screen was for.

It seemed that she had to set this up before she could use the smartphone, but she didn't know how to do it.

While she was struggling, something passed by her feet.

Ryoko fell on her butt.

She felt something strange at her ankle, and looked to confirm. Everything below her ankle was gone. The shoe that her foot had been in was a little distance away, sitting on the ground as if nothing had happened.

This was definitely a dream. After all, she wasn't feeling any pain despite what had just happened.

Just as she was about to convince herself of this, a green creature resembling a person appeared in front of her.

The small, child-sized creature had an inverted triangular head and long claws stained with blood in its hands.

Upon seeing it, Ryoko's senses finally aligned with reality.

She had been cut.

The moment she recognized that, Ryoko was hit with intense pain.

"Ahhaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"

She screamed and writhed around.

She had been cut. Her leg. She had been attacked. It hurt. There was a monster.

Her thoughts were chaotic, but she knew she had to escape.

Ryoko used her hand to claw at the ground in an attempt to put distance between her and the creature.

Her hand, from the wrist down, was gone.

"Help... please help me..."

Ryoko, having been kicked, ended up on her back.

The green creature was right in front of her.

It was indeed not human. Its eyes were large and placed on either side of its head, and its jaw was split into two. It was impossible to read any expression from its inhuman face, but Ryoko knew exactly what it was thinking.

It was enjoying itself.

It could easily kill Ryoko if it wished to. But it chose not to.

It was toying with her, tormenting her. It was planning to play with Ryoko as long as possible.

The creature swung its claw down, slashing Ryoko's clothes.

At the same time, her skin also tore and severe pain shot through her, but she did not die from it.

Even if her organs were to be exposed, or even protrude out, it wouldn't mean an immediate death.

Ryoko's despair was just beginning.
