TWO
My face instantly sank into my hands, upon being aware of this fact. Dazed, my adrenaline rushed in. Quickly thinking of ways, I needed to get back to my grandma. How could I… Leaving my own grandma alone living on Earth.
There is no way right? The thought of killing myself passes by as a possible way to get on Earth. My hands are shaking madly, and I am confronted with the depressing reality. I am stuck here. I tried to check the time, but I didn't have any device or clock. Without knowing how long I have slept and walked, I am cornered with options.
"Fuck." I curse at this situation. The thought of saying I didn't want to get isekaied creates an argument in my mind. Immediately negative thoughts inject into my mind, blaming myself for this.
I try to calm myself, but my anger takes over my wheel.
I pick up a handful of dirt to throw my tantrum and kick the delicate grass. I eventually ran out of energy and collapsed on the field.
Surging for air, I try to think of different options:
1. Kill myself (Quickest but highly unlikely.)
2. Search for anything in this world (Take a long time and be uncertain as well.)
3. Pray to any God (Never met one or had studied a religion. Jack in a box option.)
Is there any better option? I try to think from the very start; I got here due to me probably dreaming about having superpowers. Working backward, I try to wish for a portal back into my room. I remember the blue portal that I was entranced with and dream to be in front of me. But to no avail, nothing changed.
Am I just stuck here? Another idea sprouts out of nowhere, seemingly the last option.
"Status," I commanded with expectation.
A purple screen pops out of thin air as if it was futuristic. I intensely gather the information as if it was a reading test.

The first thing that came to mind was how it transferred my stats from Earth to here. Jokes aside. With a shit load of information that I want to find out, my eyes lock on [Otherworld Explorer Lvl 1]. It is the saving grace.
I click on the skill to find out more information.
[Otherworld Explorer Lvl 1]: A skill that can only be obtained from traveling from one world to another, different from dying then reborn in a different world. This skill can allow the user to travel back and forth between this world and the origin world. However, at its current stage, the user can only travel back and forth 1 time.
Activation skill: think or say "Portal" to activate.
I waste no time, shouting "Portal" while thinking of my room. A magical and appeasing blue portal appears out in front. It is the same that I saw, and I couldn't be any happier. To think that I wanted to have magical powers so much that, I almost threw away my only known living member of my family. I need to repent myself.
I walk into the portal with anticipation, hoping to be in my room, and I smile widely and open my door faster than any FBI member.
I am home. It is 4:20 on the clock. I look out to see sunlight is still out, and I collapse with mixed emotions. Making sure that I am on Earth, I go out and try to say "Hi" to anyone.
I sprint out with "Gas, Gas, Gas" music in my mind and to find a stranger to converse with. I turn the corner to find a woman in her 30s jogging with a kid, and I approach them, trying to start a small conversation.
"Hey," I add a nod with it, feeling a little unused to talking to strangers.
"Hello, how is it going?" She responded like a normal human.
"Good, what about you?" I tried to go with the flow of the short conversation, and it is happening while we are jogging.
"Great! See ya!" We jog past each other, and the conversation ends.
I keep on jogging as well but feel like an insociable idiot. I had things that I wanted to ask of her, but I just couldn't and now I can't jog back at her because that would feel so weird. My mind keeps on replaying the scene, and I want to dig a hole to die in.
I don't know how to talk to people, do I?
