Rudra

(Rudra's Pov)

My life is as peaceful as it can be. I have a loving family, well built body with average face, my size is also a little big compared to others(you know what I mean), set future path for job. Everything is going as I wanted except marriage.

I didn't have much problem with getting married, but I will get tied down with family and I won't be able to live my life peacefully because of love problems. I lost interest in real world females, and I can't seem to fall in love with anyone.

Don't misunderstand, I am perfectly healthy more than you of course, because I always took good care of my little brother. I love those female character's in anime.

Female characters in anime are on whole other level than real world females. Those silky hairs, enchanting eyes, unblemished skin, slender legs, my heart always skipped a beat when I watch them. Khum... Don't misunderstand, I am not a pervert or lecher, it's just that I am interested in them.

But my poor self won't be able to see them in real, What cruel world. Now I understand why people say the world is a cruel place indeed.

It happened like this, one peaceful day a friend of mine recommended me an anime series, then what do you expect?, I became a fan of the Anime series. I lost interest in all other things like games, movies, drama shows, comedy. I only watched anime series , then gradually I started reading comic books and novels. The world of fiction became a second world to me, I always imagine myself as the main character and what decision I would make.

Why am I thinking this you ask? The answer is in front of me 'Earth Spirit' or should I call her Terra. One Sunday evening I was watching the latest episode of my favourite anime series, but it came to an end when I blinked for a second to find myself in this place called 'Dream Space' or more specifically, I got abducted by earth spirit.

Then I had to fight a wolf, me a normal person who is barely 16 year old , who hadn't touched any weapon not even a knife, just kidding. I am not like those idiots.

Still, I made it through. How you ask? It's simple, the wolf was an idiot. That guy charged at me like Straight line and on top of that he only used mouth to attack me. The wolf didn't even tried to use his claws. I just had to wait and let it bite my hand and use the other hand to attack his heart.

But the fear I felt was real though, I was frozen on the spot for about five minutes and the funny thing is the wolf didn't even attack me at that time like a chivalrous knight honouring the battle.

How was I able to do this you ask? I just imagined doing it many times in my dream, so it wasn't that hard but it sure was painful as hell. I am never doing this again. After that, I got teleported to an island with other 7 people who were busy... forget it, I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, I covered my ears and started thinking of other things to distract myself.

Oh, now that I think about it , Earth spirit didn't even give us any time to prepare for trial nor any kind of information. I can't even curse at her. If that wasn't enough, she used some kinda of pressure on use a while ago, like those described in cultivation novel. After that she had a mood swing and invited us to join in her tea party.

Fuck it! Let's hear what she has to say about all this. By the way, I didn't say this before, but those cookies look tasty. I should try them.

I folded my arms and sat on the chair near to me with an angry expression. I took a cookie from the plate and munched it. I don't like tea so this will do.

"Crunch.."

It's tasty. Did she make them by herself for us? How thoughtful. I wanted to thank her but stopped seeing everyone looking at me with different expressions. I focused on Terra but couldn't tell her expression. Why you ask? Khum... What ask? This bad habit of mine. No ask, NO ASK .

The thing is Terra doesn't look normal, I mean like how normal humans look like , she has an appearance of fog molded together to look like a human. But I think she must have a relieved expression on her face. Thinking that I liked cookies made by her, or... not?.

Anyway except her all others had a bewildered expression on their faces but who cares, these cookies sure are tasty, it has the perfect combo of sweetness and crunchiness.

"Krunch...."

"Krunch..."

What! are this idiots trying to copy me instead of listening to her? Oh god take them with you but not me though. I will sacrifice my chance to go to heavens for them. How kind of me?.

Sigh.... It looks like I need to start a conversation then.

"Umm.. Miss. Terra can you repeat what you said earlier about the reason you called us here."
