chapter 1

Arowen was now given a choice for the first time, the enigma was all instinct he had no free will in it really, but now he got to choose, either start the quest and by extension his path to glory or abandon it and be doomed to live as any normal denizen in the dream world, lets not forget that he as a normal human being from modern earth was one of the weakest creatures that walks this land, even a mosquito bite could suck him dry of all fluids or provoke an extreme allergy that will melt his immune system, the enigma did strengthen him but only his spirit, his body is still the same, it is currently growing stronger to accommodate his growing spirit but that is a slow passive process, so now what would he choose

the answer to that question is quite obvious really, in his old world he used to play games, read novels and manga, and watch movies and TV shows, he always dreamed to be in one of these world at some point or the other, the possibility to surpass his mortal limits was always so enticing for him and if given the chance he would jump on it blindly knowing that he will regret it at some point later, but he didn't care if he is going to regret it later then it will be after experiencing it, to hell with safety, he wanted to experience what he had seen in those fictions, and meet all kinds of people and creatures, he wanted to tame a dragon, to be able to fly in the air, to sunder planets with the flick of a hand and so much more, he knew that it wont be the case for a long time till he reaches his goals but this mission is a beginning and as it goes a journey of a thousand miles start with a single step and he's gonna take it or die trying, no no he's not gonna die he will make it...eventually, at least that's what was going on in his head, reckless if you as me but that is a protagonist for you, none of them are sane or normal people, makes the story all better hehe

so he chose to start the mission and all he saw was black till light brightened his eyes once more and the screen explaining the mission appeared

reading the mission, Arowen was surprised by its content, he never in his dreams thought that he will one day find himself in the world of one piece, for one he didn't like it at all, this world was very dangerous, filled with walking disasters everywhere literally, and the inhabitants of this world were all crazy strong, and worse of all is the celestial dragons, if he met one he will be doomed full stop, and the worst of all is that those shits can be anywhere, you could be strolling and one of them popup, he sees you doesn't like you and then poof, you are dead, a slave, or both, he really didn't like this world, it was one of the most dangerous in his opinion, you have to look out for marines, pirates, rebellion army, sea beasts, land beast on top of the normal threats, and seeing the objective of the quest he couldn't help but sweat, that is crocodile level threat, and he needs to be in the grand line to even come across such bounties

Arowen was really in a dilemma, but he now has to plan for his future, he cannot just go at it blindly, but for now he took too much time on the mission screen, he got to assess his surrounding, he got too absorbed in the mission objective

so Arowen found himself in a small canoe at sea with land on the horizon, he was dressed in a common sailor outfit by this world standard, had a hat to protect him from the sun and pouch holding his supplies, water skin, dried meat and hard bread, and a few bills around 10'000 bellies, if he remembers right it was like the equivalent of a 1000 bucks, quite rich, anyway the sun was still high up in the sky, and the sea was calm, so he started rowing towards the land in the distance, he didn't know how to row properly but the years of watching all kind of stuff helped to get the general idea of how to do it , so after struggling for a bit at the start he got used to it and was doing better as time went on

it has been 3 hours of rowing, the sun was on top of his head, so the time was around noon, he stopped rowing, his body tired and his muscles aching, and his hand full of blisters that already popped, it was really painful, but he pulled through it, he was always good at managing pain, he then took a piece of meat and bread then started eating, and once he felt rested he started rowing once more in the direction of land and 2 hours later he made to the beach and left the waves take him to shore

while resting he observed the beach and could see that there was a fishing village a bit away with some small boats drying in the sun, on his way he saw some fishermen, but he didn't get in contact with them they were just too far away from him and he was tired already
