The first ray of the sun comes delicately wash over my face, my eyes groggily open. A happy soft sigh escaped my lips. *sigh~~* 'What a good healthy sleep for once' waking up i hear a light beeping sound in my ears and the same google doc type page comes in front of me again.

'Ohh that's good, it's like the real use of a good doc. haha if only I had that on earth i would never have failed so many exams haha.'
After eyeing the window a little more I make it go and stand up. Sophie told me where the well is so I freshened up.
As I strolled through the quaint village of Elenwood, a sense of wonder washed over me. The scene before me was like something out of a storybook—a perfect blend of modern convenience and medieval charm. It was a village that seemed to exist in a world of its own, where the boundaries of time had blurred, and the past and present coexisted in harmony.
Beneath my boots, the roads were not the typical uneven dirt paths but instead paved with smooth cobblestones. Each step I took was steady and sure, without the worry of mud or hidden obstacles. It was as though the village had embraced modern construction without forsaking its historical roots.
I continued my journey, and to my amazement, I noticed actual sidewalks lining the streets. These stone-paved walkways ran parallel to the road, providing a designated space for pedestrians like me. The village planners had brilliantly intertwined the comfort of modern walkways with the medieval aesthetics of the village.
The morning sun painted the village of Elenwood in warm hues as I walked its cobbled streets. Memories of yesterday's arrival flooded my mind, and my thoughts lingered on Sophie's house. I realized that my tiredness had prevented me from fully appreciating its uniqueness.
Sophie's home was a remarkable blend of medieval architecture and modern convenience, a harmonious coexistence that seemed almost magical in itself. The exterior, adorned with wooden beams and stone walls, exuded a traditional charm that transported me to a bygone era. Yet, it was the subtle enchantments that truly set it apart.
Magic-infused stones cast a soft radiance, illuminating the house and creating an otherworldly ambiance. As I strolled down the village street, the previous day's weariness seemed to evaporate in the presence of such ingenuity. The air was free of the typical foul smells of medieval sanitation, thanks to the advanced waste management system hidden beneath the paved roads and cobblestone sidewalks.
Thinking back to the interior, I appreciated the melding of old and new. Traditional furniture coexisted with enchanted appliances that catered to modern needs. The fireplace burned with ethereal flames, the cauldron simmered without the need for firewood, and the aroma of food drifted enticingly from within.
The enchanting portraits that adorned the walls came to mind, their subjects moving as if they were alive, a testament to the merging of magic and art. The bookshelves held ancient tomes alongside magically illuminated scrolls, offering a glimpse into both the past and the future.
With each step, I couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of it all. My fatigue from the journey was replaced by a sense of excitement, and I found myself looking forward to exploring more of this world.
With renewed vigor and all freshened I go find a shop to change the rags that I'am currently wearing all cut and ripped because of the fights.
Asking random people where I can find a shop for all produce they lead me in front of a white and blue mind numbingly enormous establishment with crystal clear windows but what fucked my brain up are the automatic glass doors. . .
