Reincarnated in a mysterious, medieval fantasy world, Mara woke up in the middle of nowhere and struggled to find her way out of there, until she encountered an old lady. Once she received directions from the woman, she was excited to arrive there. As soon as she made it there, she found out there was a trap in that town and now planned to escape from it, facing danger along the way as a defenseless woman. How will she be able to accomplish her goal? Will she even survive it to the end during her flight?

I will be posting this story on Royal Road.

While she walked towards me, I could barely smell the smoke around her. She pulled out one of the apples from the basket and handed it towards me. "Here, take it."

I raised my eyebrow at her when I darted my eyes towards her face. Although I was happy to encounter a woman, this woman, though, was kind of giving me the old woman from Snow White vibes. I pondered if she was really doing it out of kindness from her own heart. I was reluctant to accept her offer, yet my stomach's growl pressured me to accept it.

"Go on, take it," the old woman said, "I'm not going to harm you."

I looked up at her and the apple back and forth. I tried to reject the apple, but hunger forced me to take it. So I took a bite and tasted the apple's sweetness, determining whether or not I would be dead in seconds. Luckily, I found out that I wasn't harmed nor even dead so far, leading me to take another bite. The apple made me less wary of it and the old lady.

The old woman smiled at me and watched me continue eating. "Yes, that's it. I know you must be hungry, young lady. Keep eating."

After I ate the apple, I threw it into the lake and heard a splash beside me. Changing my mind, I stood up from the ground and turned to her. "Thank you for the food, ma'am."

"Oh, it's my pleasure, young lady," the old woman said, nodding a bit.

"So I'm stuck in this forest, I'm lookin' for a town and I have no idea where it is. Do you know where I should find it?"

"Oh, you poor, child." The old woman tsk-tsked me. "I think I know where it is." She turned around and pointed at a couple trees to her left. "Up there should be a road."

"Once you head there, just go straight. You should be able to head to town."

I raised my eyebrow at first. "That's it? Jus' head straight?"

She turned back to me. "That's right, just head straight once you walk towards those trees."

I nodded and smiled. "Okay, thanks for your help!"

"Why, you're welcome," she said as I walked past her towards those trees with my arms still crossed.

Alright! I'm headin' goin' to town! I'll finally be able to get some new clothes for once!

Once I made it there, I followed the path towards the town like that old woman said. When I left her presence, she smirked and chuckled viciously with the black smoke surrounding her. "He-he-he-he-he-heh."
