Captured! What Bad Luck! I got Reborn into another Life and now I am a Side Character 5

After Halloween Month and a small vacation we can finally pick up my D&D Isekai Story again! In this story I fall off some stairs and get Isekaid.. wanting to be more of me! While reborn in the character of Elle.. all my traits get amplified. I became kinder, smarter.. but also A LOT more Unlucky! To make matters worse! I am not even the Main character!

Episode 4 -Recap

In the last Episode Elle finally got her first real quest for the Owls Nest! To disrupt a gambler in the city of Twiddir. Unbeknownst to Elle she is merely used as a distraction for a heist. Elle gets injured and actually kills a guy and her companions Mirina the drunken fist monk and Ynaja the dark skinned cleric that is very into romances take her back and leave her in her own bed.. yet the guild leader of the Owls Nest seems to think very lowly of Elle. Read up on part 4 by clicking here.. or check out the post carousel featuring the series at the bottom of the post.

Day ?? Time Unknown!

Dear scraps of clothes from the dead person in my cell remind me to add you to the diary later if I ever make it out! I have been kidnapped. I have deduced we are one a ship.. one that is still docked. I have reached this conclusion by the sound of seagulls flying over on a fairly regular basis. My nausea and vomit also is equal to that I would have on moderately still water.  I have been here for .. I think I have been here for I think two days now.. based on the guard routine.  These men are cloaked but I hear them speak Infernal.. which leads me to believe they may be Tieflings.  There is a guy.. who takes me out of the cell and he sticks needles in me.. but he is wearing on of those plague doctor masks… when he does I am strapped to a table so I can not deduce his height properly. 

Being stabbed with those needles really hurts!  Yet I find myself without much fear?! Why?! Because I am a side character.. I fall into these tropes…ever since I have been Isekaid.. that means rescue will come as soon as I am on death’s door.  For this reason I have not eaten.. I want my health to deteriorate as fast as possible.. as I feel it will expedite my release. However I feel my mental capacities waning….so I will write what I will know now that I still can. Sorry about the smell.. dear diary if this page is inserted in between. All I had was vomit and dirt to make some ink.. well and some blood.. but that felt needlessly edgy! 

It all started when Maine got back into town.. a new quest showed up. Tiefling girls with more or less my description have gone missing. All a bit prettier than me..and non had glasses.. but still!  I of course offered to take the quest along with Maine.. with me being bait. She refused saying that  she would take this quest alone.  I should not be put at risk.  Which left me without a quest again! I tried to tag along with Oscott the knight who had to fight a bunch of artificers up in the town of Reh’dyt. He seemed to be okay and then he told me he left his “thingamabob” at home and he needed to get it first. He told me to wait at the port and he would come get me. I think he must have forgotten to pick me up because I waited for over 18 hours for his return. Maybe this item required some grooming! I would have waited longer.. but I heard a voice from an alley asking me for help. It was a man with a plague doctor mask who told me if I could help him. He was doing an experiment.. he told me to pick a card.. he had made 13 of them.. the higher the number i would draw the better.  I drew one… then I felt a hit in my neck.. and I woke up on board of this ship.

A day after the previous entry..somewhere early I think!

Sorry dear cloth.. I had to stop writing yesterday.. The sickness got me.. the smell of decomposition of the body next to me is getting worse. It’s a girl that looks a bit like me… Well the facial structure of her half decaying face shows we have a lot of similar features.. like eye distance, cheekbone height and horn structureI was also taken in for another test. This time he had a mage next to me as I was strapped to a chair! I am pretty sure the Plague Doctor is a tiefling as well.. his height matches and while he does wear shoes.. it is a type that would support fooves!  Which are foot hooves if you haven’t been reading along. Regardless.. he had a mage with him.. donned in black.. half orc but of a darker skin tone.  The doctor who was referred to as Lord Febricitantem would flip a coin.. if I get it right I would get the coin.. if I got it wrong I would be Shocking Grasped. We played this game for 20 rounds.. I am back without any coins.  There was a lot of pain.  At one point the doctor told me I could guess both..so I did.. and then the coin fell through a crack and landed sideways! What bad luck!

He seemed to be very pleased though! I told him if someone could please feed my cat. He told me I would soon be able to myself.. well a part of me would. Soon Lady Doom would inhabit the body of her daughter and she could finally walk the earth again. I told him that I do not believe my mother was called lady doom! Such a person would clearly be shunned by society and Elle ..before I inhabited her or maybe I merged with her.. seemed to have a normal life. Of course I did not tell him about the last part. He told me Lady Doom was my mother. He told me I could destroy the world. I .. told him I destroyed a lot of things by accident but I would never do so willingly and if he was wise he would let me go ..because attempting to put someone else in my body surely would count as a death flag for him! I am just a side character after all and those always get rescued..I would be powerless to stop that. He did not believe me! He himself used a shocking grasp on me. It hurt but I remained awake… this is odd.

You see , given how much experience I have earned during my quests so far I would say I could not be a mage of higher than the third level. Which means my maximum health points according to Dungeon and Dragons logic should put me at 18. Now given that I am so prone to self hurt I am willing to believe my constitution is slightly higher than that of an average mage so I assume it would be around a +2.  That would put me at 24 health points.  I have received 21 shocks and a Shocking grasp deals 1d8 HP. Meaning they would have rolled a 1 on every bit of damage..because I do not feel that close to fainting.. close enough.. and I am in a lot of pain.. but I feel I could take at least one or two more of these..does that make them unlucky for rolling bad or me.. for not getting the blessing of being knocked out?! Lord Febricitantem seemed very interested in this when I told him! He said the ritual to resurrect Lady Doom would take place tonight?! Oh I hear the guards coming for me!

Day 52 Night

Dear Diary.. I have been reunited with you…. I do not know what happened as I lay on a ritual stone table.. a broken horseshoe.. a five leaf clover.. some broken glass and the fur of a black cat were placed around me.. when suddenly we heard screaming from the upper deck! The Lord began to chant and my vision began to blur.. as if I was looking at two places at once.. I saw something.. I saw Maine.. but not in this world.. but in mine. She worked in a call center and was in a Wheelchair… she was very depressed and cried looking at herself in the mirror. Then I saw a woman.. she wore a dress.. well one of those weird ones which show your legs, and only hide your backside.. She also had a grey skin.. similar to a drow like Carlita but with a lot more humanoid features. Her hair is as white as snow! Her clothes had all sorts of holes in them.. like moth bites .. but in a fairly regular pattern.. dare I say the outfit looked kinda skimpy! She called me daughter… and I said no! We are genetically too diverse to be the same.. I could barely hear her answer as right above me someone was impaled on a big sword and blood began leaking below the deck all over my face… The doctor lord got distracted by this and the sigil I was laying on as well… so he polymorphed himself into a big bug .. I think.. my glasses were knocked off and what part was still left on my face were covered in blood. He fled the scene and Maine showed up.. just as I expected.. However she also had another companion along with her.

Maho the Drow Sailour that looked like Carlita was with her. “See there is the pretty little thing.. told ya I spotted them draggin her onto Beshabas’Pearl… no sign of the creeper that was with her  though. Maine freed me from my bindings and Maho greeted me first. “Nice to see you again lass, thought I had lost my chance with ya there for a bit.. luckily tha town members remembered a girl smelling like fish walking to yer guild.. or I would not have been able to get ya the help of blondie here! Great swing to her sword.. but not much in terms of an investigator is she?’   I asked her what kind of chance she missed..  and she just smirked telling me I owed her a reward for finding me. She would tell me soon enough. She told me to take a bath before though.  She helped me off the table  but in her attempt to lift me she must have accidentally pinched me in the posterior. Maine asked me about details of the man who held me.. I told her everything I knew.. but she asked I knew where “the antlers” were. I don’t know anything about it and she snapped a bit at me.. making me cry.  I did not want to disappoint her.. I just did not see any antlers. I told her about my vision.. but as soon as I mentioned her in the wheelchair she told Maho.. to take me away.. she would look for Lord Febricitantem. I told her he changed into a bug thing and he flew out a porthole.
She softened up a bit after that.. telling me to not worry she would wrap this up. 

Maho took me home and even helped me get a fat fish for Summer. I wasn’t sure how long I had been missing. Maho confirmed it was about three days. Summer apparently found a way to go out a window I broke earlier and kept herself nice and fed. She was happy so see me return though.  Maho asked me if I wanted three pussies in my bed tonight and I told her that I barely could manage to look after one cat.. Maho said that was not what she meant and winked at me. I told her I was confused and she just chuckled calling me adorable. Giving me a careful hug. She asked me on a date.. as a reward for helping me save me. I agreed, but I might need to do another quest to be able to afford the date.. she told me she would pay..she would use the money she looted from the Tieflings of the Beshaba’s Pearl.. so  we agreed on seeing each other in three days. She asked me if I put out on first dates. I told her that I put out fires on a fairly regular basis.. as I knock over candles all the time. She wanted to say something but then did not and gave me another hug.. I guess my back myst have been slippery from all the blood ..because her hand slipped to my butt.

So that was a few missing days.. I really want to talk to Maine about her being Isekaid as well. It fits her behaviour pattern.. but if people try to put a demon in my body it might be wise if we look for a way home again.  I am not sure if it is possible but I should try. Rho stopped by telling they were throwing a party for Maine to celebrate her rescuing me.. asking me if I was fit enough to party.. I told him I was.. and I would come soon.. then I slipped in my bath and hit my head and I guess I must have dealt myself three damage because I woke up a lot later with Summer licking my head!  Oh well.. I did not really feel like a party anyway!  I feel a bit sad.. but when I think about three days from now.. about having a nice evening with Miss Maho.. I can not help but to stop wagging my tail… that’s kind of weird huh?! Oh yes reminder to myself to really look into this Lady Doom thing a bit as well!  That’s it I am going to sleep! Good night diary! Good night whoever reads it.. .I really hope it’s me.. or anyone I pass it down too!

Elle’s Real Quest! What Bad Luck! I got Reborn into another Life and Now I am a Side Character 4

It has been a while since I have returned to my Isekai and my beloved character Elle.. who now combined with me! In this series we explore a fictional me being reborn in another world.. yet because she did not want to give up her qualities she asked the gods to just amplify every trait of herself. Her intelligence rose, her memory became almost perfect and she even became able to also do magic. However also her social awkwardness rose and worst of all her bad luck!  Her bad luck in fact was so bad.. that she did not reincarnate in her own story as a main character.. she was reborn as a side character.

In the last part Elle got a mock quest of her guildmate Carlita to find her cat Autumn. When Elle came home with a wrong (black)  cat she adopted it herself and named it Autumn.. a few days have passed since then.. since the main character is out of town..nothing really interesting happened. Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3 can be accessed by clicking on those part names.

Day 29: Morning

Dear Diary, I groggily awoken on the 29th day of my residency in this new world by a thumping sound on my door! As the temperature began to rise as the summer season drew closer the air was thicker than before. The smell of the ocean gathered deeper into my house. It made me sleep more soundly. With nearly one month of being in this world nothing has changed much compared to my first five days. Maine returned a few times.. but each time I want to grab her for a mission.. she relegates me to the side. I have been taking on side missions like shearing sheep and gathering a rich kid’s balloon among other things. It has left me with numerous injuries but also enough coin to provide for myself and Summer. Who now has a collar!  The tieflings at the docks still shun me! I do not know why! Oh but yes! As I was telling there was someone knocking on my door. As I stumbled with my fooves down the stairs I got another splinter stuck into them.. for those who may find this diary and open it somewhere in the middle.. fooves are what I call my feet.. they are a mix between hooves and human feet.  I tumbled down the stairs.. but I landed in the pillows I placed there. I fall off the stairs a lot so I spend some money on pillows to prepare myself.  I used a spell named Mage Hand.. which I had been practicing for about ten days.. to open the door and there was our guild Cleric.

Ynaja in Elle’s House

Ynaja stared at me from the door opening. Her raven curled hair tightly kempt behind her melanated face. Her holy light reflected in her eyes given them a goldenish tint. Her holy symbol was that of “the Gentleman” a god in this world that represents romance and adventure. It is rumored that he has a mortal form publishing all those picture book romance novels she loves a lot! It is just a rumor though! I think real books should have more words personally! Also for a god to pursue such trivial matters seems unlikely. Regardless, she asked if she could come in to help me up and I agreed.  She smelled like wet clay and strawberries. ‘Did your sealing break again’ I asked, trying to show interest for her social situation. She looked at me really surprised.  ‘Uhm.. how did you?!.. Maybe we should start with Hello?” I shook my head “Hello is a great greeting to make acquaintance, however we have since long passed that phase I am at the guild on a semi daily basis so I feel greeting each time is redundant.. so how is your ceiling’. Ynaja let out a chuckle “I am surprised you noticed there is some stone in my hair?” I once again shook my head. “Negative! Your bodily scent however has undergone a tonal change, normally you smell more like the wood teak wood that your guild booth is constructed out of now you smell like clay..since you told your ceiling to crack earlier.. I figured the scent of clay would explain that you once again had to fix it up’ Ynaja blinked telling me I was really something.  My inquiries on what that exact thing was she thought I was however went unanswered. She interrupted my questioning with a smile when she told me she had a real quest for me.

Apparently in the nearby city of Twiddir there is a Grande Casino that has been losing money to a roguish figure by the name of Romegg Xanwych. Some kind of young rich kid who enriches himself more by cheating and taking state money! The Twiddir Grand Casino is owned by the state. I was to travel there with Mirina the Drunken Monk and Ynaja. Mirina was there in case we got in a fight and Ynaja was there in the , according to her , a somewhat likely case that I got injured. I was to use my analytical ability to find out how Romegg cheated and put a stop to it before he stole more of the state’s money! I could totally do that! I was finally going to apprehend a criminal! So I quickly got dressed..which might have embarrassed Ynaja a bit in hindsight.. not that I slept in the nude but I had my duck Pyjamas on! My first real mission I was so happy!

Elle’s room.. a little more broken than last time

Day 30 : Morning and Noon

Dear Diary..that was a 51.2 Kilometer cart-ride from Windmere Port to Twidder. It took us a whole day, we arrived the next morning at the crack of dawn. This city smelled quite differently.. Dusty and manurey from too many horses kicking up the dust and dropping their colon’s  contents. Houses were plentiful oftenly stacked on top of  each other. All roofs had white shingles and blue songbirds nested on most of them. People were loud here! Yet nowhere were real conversations.  Instead people just shouted stuff at each other. I was too broken up from the trip to really enjoy it though. Shouting people are also scary! A heavy poluted rivier streamed trough the town..it would end up in Windmere Port but by then it would have cleared up in quality a bit again. Here you could see well.. everyone’s number two’s flowing. Judging by the smell when passing into town number 1 was also there a plenty! Living in a world without sewage is not what anime makes it out to be!

The town of Twiddir

Ynaja had  hired a donkey cart to move us forward..it was so slow! I miss cars! Mirina got really drunk and began ranting about a book of friends she once read. Like for hours and hours… she would not stop! When I told her I have not read it, she told me she could read it to me! She had the book with her! But every time.. a certain character would do a certain thing I would have to indulge in alcohol! That seemed detrimental to our mission so I passed. After a very long cartridge.. in which I actually managed to finish the book of friends which she borrowed for me to read in peace after me asking for it.. we arrived at the inn that hosted the casino! We checked in.. washed up.. and Ynaja guided me to the casino hall straight away. I could use a nap but she told me it was very important that we get this job as quickly as possible. After me explaining my cognitive functions had be impaired.. she went to vent as she said for a bit.. After coming back she agreed to let me sleep until lunch and after lunch I would have to hit the casino.

During lunch I was pretty sure I saw Maine and Rho sitting at a table in the back! I waved at them but my visual stimuli did not seem to reach them! The audio stimuli of calling their names was ignored as well. They just stared at each other and then I saw them kiss. I had my suspicions before but now I felt like a Facehugger had laid eggs in me and I was giving birth to a Xenomorph..but instead of in my stomach the Xenomorph was in my heart! Ynaja told me that it wasn’t Maine and Rho, just people who looked like them. However I was sure it was them. Maine with her length of 1 meter and 72 centimeter or 5.6430446194 feet as some readers would prefer, was taller than the average human female. While Rho’s crimson hair colour only occurs once in every 80 half elves or so. With the average woman is almost 8 centimeters smaller as Maine I think the fact that a woman of her age, hair colour and height would date a man confirmed to Rho’s states would be a statistical near impossibility.
Ynaja snapped at me however and told me to leave it alone so I did.

Elle is hurt her love interest found someone else

I was forced into the casino soon after eating lunch and I was brought to a table that had a young blonde man who reminded me a bit of Spark from Pokémon Go.. just in more medieval clothes. His blonde spiky hair, and youthful look fitted his tacky noble roguish look. An air of self confidence came from him as he played with coins between his fingers. He was playing a game of Roulette, which is strange because in our world Roulette only was invented in 1796..I am not sure why I know what because I never knew that before! Either Way this would make my mission challenging. Ynaja gave me 100 gold of the guild funds to play with! Should I win anything I was allowed to keep it for myself she said! If I lost I would still get paid.  She told me she and Mirina would keep track of me! I introduced myself to mister Xanwych and wished him a nice play! Now in full expectation of what Ynaja told me I knew that Romegg would be winning a lot so I placed a single gold coin on the number he bet on. We both lost! Also Roulette here has three colours and 45 numbers but no zeroes! He frowned a bit and I noticed he tabbed the table with a coin.. is that how he cheats? He bet on 42… so I did too! I was pretty sure he would win this time.. but when then number landed on 1 instead… I was actually pretty shocked! Did I just read that wrong? His mannerism seemed to reflect utter surprise too. Could he just have failed his cheat?!

Romegg Xanwych

Day 30: The Encounter

For some reason Romegg Xanwych began coughing violently and tabbed the table harder with his coin! By now it was not even subtle anymore! Yet the croupier guy seemed not to notice.. or did he? He did get flustered!  Wait could they be in cahoots?! I like that word. I told Romegg he would be my lucky charm and we would win together and he did not seem to mind me so much..but he was very much glaring at the ball guy! When we lost our money again he however turned at me!  “Is It you, are you messing with us”. The Croupier drew a weapon and Romegg as well.  The ball guy asked me “How are you doing it, did you see through our plans”.  He signalled five security guards to come in closer. ‘Mister Xanwych, we will make our payments to you as soon as possible.. we are sorry.. I am not sure what magic she uses,’ Romegg nodded at the guy ‘If your boss wants to keep the magic box you better bring me this girl’s head’. The Rogue then made his way outside but Mirina got in his way.. but she backed off with a tisk when she saw the Croupier called in more guards and drew a dagger from his sleeve as he charged at me. In his other hand still that steel little ball! That frightened me more than the dagger I would trip on it if that ever fell on the floor! I would have to finish this fight fast.

The attacking Croupier

A sharp pain went through my gut as I was shanked by the dagger. My brain was working harder than it ever did, my body however was not fast enough to react..I guess as a mage I have a low armor class and I bet my Dexterity modifier is trash! However.. if I did not stop him I would die! I had to cast a spell.. even if it might have harmed harm me! I know that one ice spell a bit!  The knife twisted in my gut a bit as he was clearly trying to kill me!  There wasn’t even a hiding it anymore.  Or was there?.. the guards drew away the sight of the crowd.. I was being murdered and Ynaja would most likely not be able to help me soon.. I had to do this myself. After the boar killing idea to become an owl.. I was offput on killing. I did not really study much.. offensive spells.. but perhaps if I approached it trough science I could still make it work! I saw that in a really lame Isekai show once. Cheat Magician. Since I was here to stop a cheater..using an approach like that seemed appropriate.


Elements get colder when their molecules get pushed closer together. I just had to use my Mana to slow down his molecules and put them closer together. I imagined my hand casting a mana net.. or more like a mana wrapping paper.. that I would cast around him then tighten to chill him.. but I was so scared! Being stabbed hurts a lot more than I could have thought! For those who think.. oh it’s a dagger..she probably only lost like 10 to 20% of her HP! Well .. Health Points mean nothing if you are actually stabbed! In games we always shrug it off but this was nothing like that. I had difficulty focussing! I might hurt this man.. but the pain and fear.. really made me let go of that desire not to hurt him. So when I touched him..I felt my mana flow as I let it out.. it felt as if a dam broke! Energy washed out of me all over the room! A Dewish..frosty white appeared on the floor, the glasses and even that roulette table froze shut… and the guy… well he just disappeared.. I heard a soft thud.. but he was gone.. and all around me was snow and ice forming.

Mirina meanwhile was using her monk abilities to deal a few Stunning Strikes and some flurry of blows knocking out three of the guards with ease. Using her reactions to deflect some throwing knives the others tossed at her. Their success hindered by Ynaja who was hindering her foes with the Bane spell.  Mirina approached the fourth and the fifth guard but she was low on Ki.She seemed genuinely concerned about my safety and spent her final Ki on another series of attacks. Her way of the Drunken Fist style fighting made her immensely hard for her opponent to hit. ‘When the Pink friend cries in panic, take a jab’ she yelled. “When Ynaja casts a spell take a Punch” she set knocking out some teeth of the fourth guard.  and when Mirina spends the last of her ki.. take a Nutshot” the guy grabbed his groin and fell down. Ynaja dealt with the other guards showing me both fighters were so much stronger than me. She casted the Area of Effect spell .. Spirit Guardians. A third level conjuration spell generally learned by Clerics. Four super pretty anime like boys  made of light appeared. They seemed slightly based on fairy tale tropes. As I touched her shoulder and smiled at her then dashed at all the guards invading our private space and they were knocked out by the light magic.

Mirina versus the guards and Ynaja’s Spirit Guardian (One of them)

There I was the dagger still in me.. but no more croupier in sight. I knew I was about to fail my mission again! Mirina had gotten a scratch from her scuffle as well.. I could not let her wounds be in vain so I searched around and I found a previously guarded door now open.. but there.. slithering against the wall was Romegg. He was almost at the exit.. I had to stop him.. but I knew no spell that was within range..I was not gonna fail however.. what felt like a breaking dam suddenly felt as if everything broke.. I wasn’t going to fail more! I had failed enough! By instinct I pointed my hand at him…and then everything went white! It was over! 
Oh no! Now that I read it that almost sounds like I died or passed out.. no I meant like.. the entire area I pointed at went white.. It all just deep freeze. Unfortunately so did Romegg. Like if you ever saw that Jason X movie?! Where he kills a girl with liquid nitrogen?! Kinda like that.. only he fell while his head froze and then.. well… at least he won’t be stealing money from the casino… wait a minute….

Day 30: Wrap Up

I remember crying a lot! I killed a man! I did not want to do it ..but it happened! Ynaja came over to heal me and Mirina seemed really angry at Ynaja. ‘You should have told her the truth’ I was crying so much that actually I did not realise this until much much later.. but whatever you are reading now is the revised version. I was a bit traumatised by my first kill that is not that easy either.. just because I get Isekaid. Regardless.. so yes.. Mirina told Ynaja she should have told me the truth. Ynaja scowled ‘She would not have come if I told her the truth’  Mirina apparently put my head on her shoulder and let me cry out! I don’t remember but I do  remember smelling tequila that day! ‘She failed her mission again.. or so she thinks, she actually did exactly what you wanted her to do, didn’t she?’ Mirina asked Ynaja shrugged. ‘No idea what you are talking about’ Mirina slightly rocked me up and down with her eyes glaring at Ynaja. ‘You used her bad luck to make Romegg lose all that money and cause a conflict ..so that Maine and Rho could get inside and do the real mission and find that box he was talking about right?’ Ynaja smiled. ‘Correct, we just needed Elle to create discourse. The real price is inside.. but trust me.. that artefact justifies the means’ Ynaja went on to pull the dagger out of me and heal me. However from the shock I completely passed out. For all those who ever role played a character getting stabbed with a knife!.. It hurts! ..It’s not just.. Ouch!… Mirina saw something laying next to my unconscious body.  She picked up a diamond and studied it. Inside it was a little steel roulette ball. ‘Did she just?’ Ynaja shook her head and looked at Mirina sternly. ‘Sell that and give the money to Elle as her share of the loot but don’t tell her about this’ 

 The dark skinned woman then said ‘We are done here’ Mirina wanted to object. Elle could be dangerous if that was the extent of her abilities. Suddenly a voice in  the drunken monk’s head appeared. “Seize this act Mirina, Elle acted precisely as I predicted. She has her uses to us and her role in this world and she has her flaws.. if it ever needs be we can take her down easily’.The voice thundered in Mirina’s head sounding femine and commanding.  ‘She is our Guildmate.. I’ll protect her like all my allies’ the monk objected. The voice boomed in her head once more! This time more divine and more regal ‘Do not forget your place, your loyalty lies with your guild not with one member’  The voice would then grow colder and more cruel.. almost inhuman for a moment. “Besides would you really risk HIM for someone not even of this world?.. Our mission is bigger than just one girl, if you can even call her that now do as Ynaja orders” The monk picked up my unconscious body and lifted me over her shoulder  “Yes of Course Guild Master” Mirina answered to the voice..

I woke up in my own bed?! How long had I been out! Summer was pawing at me looking hungry! There was a big sack of money  there at that time I had no idea where it came from! It had a note from Mirina saying it was all the stuff we could loot from our quest. It said the dagger that stabbed me was poisoned with a poison that made me see things that were not there. They kept me asleep for it to wear out. They captured Romegg after I made him slip because I froze the floor?! That’s not what I remember! Wasn’t he dead? I was told I must have been delirious. That knife did not feel poisonous! Also the way the croupier held his dagger did not make sense if it were poisonous. He hid it in his sleeve! Had my memory been that tainted?… I felt I had to investigate but something in my head told me to leave it alone and buy a fat fish for Summer… so I ended up doing that instead! She likes fish so much!.. Also I fell in a fish pile again…..

With that another episode is done! Will Elle ever realise she just did the side mission yet again?! What is this box? And what plans does this Mysterious Guild Leader have? What will Mirina do? So many questions, so if you like to find out, there will be a next time! Of course you can help to ensure there will be a next part by making sure I don’t starve to death, get bored to death or croak from Cafeine shortage! That is right! This is another Kofi plug! Until Raid Shadow Legends start to sponser me at least!

What Bad Luck! I got Reborn into another Life and Now I am a Side Character (Part 3)

Hello dear Island Guests, it’s time for the third installment of my Isekai “What Bad Luck! I got Reborn into another Life and Now I am A Side Character. In this story I died by falling of a stairs in a moment of bad luck! When I could be reborn into another being with one wish I just asked to be a more amplified version of me! You know the whole super stats thing! Little did I know it would boost my social awkwardness and my bad luck as well! With that boosted bad luck, I became a side character! NANI!!! To see how my journey started you can read part 1 here and part 2 here! How will our quest go on?

Hello again dear diary!  I am sorry I haven’t written to you in so long! I spilled my inkwell on evening of the third day just as I was to chronicle that.. and well  I am sorry for tearing a pages out of you but things have gotten a bit messy! All in all it didn’t matter much anyway because that third day not a lot happened! I almost felled compelled not to leave my house and do anything! I kinda felt blue for failing my first quest as well. Like I could not be bothered doing anything so I just lay in my bed and thought about this new life. I wonder if Elle ..the lady I was reborn lived happily.. and where did she go?! Maybe I am just Elle and I am had a very weird dream ..and I am accidentally going insane..maybe it’s some sort of disease that rots my brain away! Then again I can still count exactly how many nails there are in my bedroom floor, and extrapolate that given my house dimensions to within a margin of about 12 nails are able to tell exactly how many nails hold my floors together. So maybe my brain is still fine!.. But day three came and went without any events. Day four was like that as well. I visited the Owl’s Nest briefly but they had no new quests. Since things were slow I thought I might ask Maine out for a date.. to thank her for the coins she gave me and .. you know she still is kinda good looking.. but she was still out on her forest trip.  Ynaja asked me where I was from and was like the way I was.. I did not understand at first but she thought I was weird.. it made me a bit sad and I went home, not doing much! I think I even forgot to eat!

Today however was quite differently! I went back to the guild and I saw Oscott, Mirina and Daria had returned so I guess Maine was back as well. I wagged my tail so hard I knocked over a glass of another woman in the guild, her name was Carlita a Celestial Bloodrager. She was Drow, from the Down-Underdark. If I ever find my way back to the real world and I can take  this diary let me explain! A Blood-Rager is an inbetween of a  Barbarian and Sorcerer Archetype.. who draw their magic power from something in their blood and Carlita is part angelic .. so she is prone to barbaric fighting but when she rages she changes shape of sorts getting a much cuter uniform and angelic wings! …A Drow is something close to a Dark Elf.. you know like those ones from Skyrim with the bluish skin In normal D&D they are from a place called the Underdark.. but in this world they call it the Down-Underdark ..and it’s like an Island far far away! So yeah I spilled her drink I saw her  transform because she was angry and then.. she looked super glowly and her outfit went white I even saw wings I think.. but then … I got knocked out again..later she told me she did not mean to , it was just a reflex and we talked a bit. When the dizziness in my head finally was over I walked up to the quest board and saw one new quest. There were more before but well in my time unconscious most were picked up already.

Bloodrager Carlita

The quest was a two person stake out in a romantic park, I would have to pose as the others lover ..so feed  each other sandwiches and like pretend to be a couple in love. Apparently someone was selling bogus love potions..or lust potions .. I am not exactly sure as I have found myself increasingly unable to read subtext. Regardless..a guy sold potions to couples to help deepen their bond but it actual makes people break up and hate each other and it had caused conflict in the town  that held the park.. which wasn’t to far away from our town either. I like love so the idea to defend it was super appealing to me!  Maine promised me to take me on the next quest so this is where I could make my move! However I did decide to ask around for other options though! Maybe she’d want some rest after her quest. Oscott looked quite pensive and said he needed to shine the inside of his armor so he could not. He must be a clean freak or something if he wants to do that because no one can see that!
Mirina told me to leave her alone and she wanted to get drunk. She would not go to a picknick because getting drunk publicly was fineable. Daria told me she had to do a thing.. at “whatsitcalled” and Carlia dropped her pen under the table, she could not hear me, she kept searching.. I did not remember her writing.. so maybe I am going insane!

Maine Finally showed up and I asked her to do the quest with me , she came up and smiled  reading the quest. “I think I might take this quest with Mister Mans if you do not mind Elle’ she said while taking the paper away from me. ‘I don’t think we would make a very believable couple now would we?’ she winked at me..I think..she might have stabbed her sword in my chest because that is how it felt! ‘Why?’ I was able to ask her that and she looked at me and frowned. ‘Well I like boys, for one and with your disabilities I don’t think you should go out there,you’ll be made in no time and get into danger, I rather see you safe’
‘M-my disability I asked?’  Maine looked at me and patted my head ‘You know , you are a bit low on charisma my dear, you have a charm for sure but socially you are a bit of a wreck’ I froze up … straight in the Kokoro! I bet this is how those anime characters feel like when the look grey and with the big white eyes and such! When she was gone.. so was my quest..
I sniffeled a bit when Carlita came to me and  gave me a quick hug. ‘I am sorry.. I bet she didn’t mean to hurt you…I just think she really wanted to take this quest with Rho though but hey you know what I have a quest for you, I recently lost my pet, I’ll give you 5 gold if you find it for me? ‘ 

Carlita told me she lost her cat called Autumn and upon me inquiring more details about the cat she at first seemed to be inclined to tell me something but than she changed her mind. ‘Maybe it is part of the quest you can ask around, meet some people in town, I live in near the ports. The house across the ship Jupiter’s Grace.. the one with the green roof. Perhaps you could ask one of the sailors if they have seen my cat?! It will help you proof Maine is wrong about your social skills as well sweety’ .  She winked at me shooed me off. ‘Come on you go girl! Your quest awaits’ . Since I needed the money and could use some experience points I dashed off. I did notice Carlita use a different voice inflection than before, indicating that  there is an increased chance of her knowing more about the whereabouts of her own cat. It is my hypothesis that she knows exactly where to find it and it’s not even missing but she wished to relieve my psycho-emotional malady. In fact given the downwards faced gazed and the avoidant approach factor Ynaja had heading towards the table I suspect she would soon inquire on Carlita why his quest was given to me!  Speculation could be made that this quest was given to me to secure my financial security.. but the way her eyes lit up it seems there have been well willing ulterior motives in play.  

Making why way to the docks I was almost overwhelmed with the salinity of the ocean air.. but also the scent of not so fresh fish! Probably heavily brined. I guess not having access to motorised ships and cooling decks has made the intake of fresh fish more difficult. After acclimating a bit I approached the ships. Apparently the ships are mostly named after gods followed by a blessing of some kind. Most ships were fishing boats like Silvanus Solace or Mystra’s Boon. One ship was a bit mysterious a trade vessel helmed by mostly Tiefling Sailors that seemed to avoid me, unlike me they  mostly had red skins, though there were a few variations and blue ones on top of the deck. They were the crew of a ship called Beshaba’s Pearl. It had a figurehead of a tiefling female but instead of demon like horns she had black deerlike antlers. I could not stop staring at it for a while.. until a seagull dropping hit my outfit.  I went onto the dock to wash it off..when all the Tiefling Sailors suddenly moved out of my way and withdrew the plank to their ship! I guess they really are superstitious about women being on boats. Unfortunately I fell in the water while  rinsing of my outfit because one of the wooden boards had come a bit loose… the ship would not even toss me a rope! Luckily I managed to climb back on shore again! Men can be so rude!

Finally I found the Jupiter’s Grace but it seemed all but abandoned. I noticed Carlita’s house which was quite a bit larger than mine. A single Drow woman looking very much like Carlita was sitting on the edge of the ship playing with a rose. Other than her the ship was completely abandoned. She wore a sailor uniform so I guess Drow have less issues with female crew members..perhaps they just do not genetically diversify that much so there is a big chance of being a female.. I should inquire more from Carlita at a later time. For now I had to proof I was sociable! So Maine would be proven wrong! So I spoke up as loudly as I could. “Salutations Lascar I was sent by thy kinsman to perform an inquiry upon a unaccounted for Genus Felis. hast thou by whims of faith perhaps perceived anything of such notion” The woman looked at me and pulled up an eyebrow. ‘Salty my what now?’ I do not know what came over me there I tried so hard to sound cool and convince her to work ..but now she thinks I was like a weirdo. I tried again.  ‘Excuse me Jupiter Sailor madame I am looking for my friend.. I mean my guildmate’s cate. She lives in that house with the green shingles over there’.  The lady stared back at me.  ‘Ai I have seen a cat, in fact the thing has been a pest and took off with some of the fish we were unloading.  You might want to check out the fish pile near the Mystra’s Boon, they are getting a cart.. I bet your fur ball will show up! ‘  She stared at me from the deck ‘Say you look soaked gal pal.. does li’l old Mako here make you THAT wet?’ She then licked her lips. ‘I fell in the ocean because a bird pooped on me.. I don’t know who Mako is.. is it a person with like a squirt gun or a like someone who throws a bucket of water?” The Drow looked confused “No I am.. you know what never mind’. So I went off.

Maho the Drow “Sailor”

I made my way towards the fish pile that was stacked near the fisherman boat the woman whose name I forgot to ask and tried to hide behind a crate.. unfortunately a bird had tried to pick up a fish and dropped it right in front of my fooves, my feet hooves and I slipped on it and fell into the pile of fish. While trying to crawl out getting fish slapped in the face everywhere I noticed the sound of meowing coming closer. I decided to hide for a bit longer in the fish pile and then flop out when the cat is eating it should not move then! The plan was quite successful, although the oil in the fish had made me a bit more oily than I would have liked.. so I slid a bit to far and bonked my head on a chest. Luckily my horns kept me safe.
The little cat did not get scared off by me! It was a tiny black cat.. not much past a kitten.  I called out “Autumn..come here.. Elle is going to take you to your Mamma!’ I do not know why calling myself by my new name comes so natural to me!  Yet the kitten actually abandoned the fish and like bonked it’s head against me a few times! Maybe it liked how fishy I smelled! I had no trouble picking it up!..Walking off the docks was a different story! I was so slippery.. but I had to keep Autumn safe.. so I brazed myself and walked back to the guild like I had pooped in my pants.. almost doing a crab walk as well.. so I would be sure I would not fall. At one point an orange Tabby cat began to follow me as well! It wasn’t as nice as Autmn though! It scratched at my legs a bit and trying to take a bit. So now I had to crabwalk with another cat nibbling at my feet! I bet if I could rinse of the fish oil at the guild it would return home! This cat actually had a collar! I should get Autumn a collar as well!  That way Carlita would be extra happy! Crabwalk to the store!

By the time I got there though the store was closed! I did not dare to move fast..enough so I guess I should give her that as a treat the next day. The orange Tabby had stopped scratching my leg as well.. which is good because I am pretty sure I could see some bone sticking out! I should have Ynaja heal that. ‘Oh look it’s the Tiefling and her cat parade’  a familiar voice suddenly said. It was the Drow woman that was the Jupiter Sailor. ‘If you like cats that much , I have a pussy for you’ she said. ‘While I would like to become a pet owner myself I am unsure if I currently possess the economical means to sustain a  cat for an extended period of time. ‘No worry babe’ the woman said ‘This pussy will leave in the morning’ I frowned.  ‘I do not think a pet should be only kept for a day, relocating stress will still be in effect so while I would not mind a cat staying over for a night I think it would not be in their best interest accept a deal like this so I am afraid I must decline. The woman laughed and patted me on the head. ‘Aren’t you precious lil old Mako likes you..she’ll probably give up for today but don’t you worry babe she will be back’ I gasped! ‘The water throwing person? ‘ The sailor laughed again and walked off. Such a strange person! I find myself completely incapable to comprehend what she wants.. perhaps it’s her way of speaking it seems more crude than I am used to.. I find myself unable to make conclusions based on these sentences.

Little Leg Hurting Monster

When I finally got back to the guild Carlita was already outside waiting for me. ‘She saw me coming in slowly for a while as crab walking was not very fast. “Autumn’ she yelled coming towards me. With some pain in my heart I held up the little black kitten! It was so nice to me! It fell asleep in my grasp even, making a purring noise! Then Carlita moved right past me and picked up the orange cat.  ‘Thank  you for finding Autumn she said kissing the orange one.  ‘Wait if that is Autumn who is this guy or girl?’. Carlita came closer inspected it and said it was a girl while handing me five gold pieces putting them in my pocket with a wink. ‘You earned them girlfriend’ she said.  ‘Okay but whose cat is this? It doesn’t have a collar’. The bloodrager looked at it and pointed out some out how it was somewhat poorly groomed.
‘She might be a stray, why don’t you take her home with you.. if you found her at the docks she might be hungry and  trying to keep herself alive.. it will not be long for a bad sailor would harm her. ‘How did you know she was eating fish’ I asked Carlita. ‘Well she’s a cat.. and you smell like a barrel of fish I just put 1 and 1 together’ she once more winked at me. ‘How did you know it was female then?’ I asked. Carlita winked again and said she might just have a talent or perhaps she met it once or twice..who knows? I am beginning to think Drow have really twitchy eyelids! I looked at the black girl cat kitten. ‘So do you want to come with me?’ I asked it.. It meows really loudly and pressed it’s head against my hand. ‘That seems like a yes, so how are we going to name you then? ‘ I stared at it for a while before I decided. I found it before I found Autumn apparently so I settled on the name Summer. Carlita congratulated me with my first completed quest and told me she would give me a hug..but I should go home to take a bath. That seemed like a good idea. 

So that’s about it my dear diary! I think I will call you Diana by the way! I took Summer home with me and she seemed to like it there! Like just before I got home she like jumped out of my hands and ran towards the home herself..she got in my way a bit as she swirved to the side…so I had to stop and I kinda jump aside into some horse manure..but well I was going to take a bath anyway it did not really matter!  I had a little friend now.. I am less lonely! Oh I forgot to mention that Ynaja healed my flesh that Autumn had scratched away! Otherwise the horse Manure could have easily caused horrible infections that might lead to amputations or weird diseases but no,  so don’t worry about me Diana I am going to be fine!  
Remind me to get a patch of fabric though once I go out to buy Summer a collar tomorrow!
I do need to teach her some manners, she got in my way again and since I not wanted to trip on her I just threw myself to the side and my growing back horns poke a hole in my couch!
I need the patch for that!

I had a nice bath though! I put Summer on my bed and told her to wait for me and she looked at me and meowed in agreement.  Then I filled a tub with some hot water and added some rose petals and scented oils. I first threw a few buckets of water on myself like in the alley behind my house to rinse of the fish.. I hoped Summer would like me after but I felt she would. When I was in the bath I wondered.. Maine shot me down.. hardly.. do I have a chance .. I think she like Rho!   He’s a thief.. so is it true women really like bad boys?! I don’t understand.. maybe I should find a bad person who likes me? Like a ..anti-paladin or a pirate or a corporate executive?! I wonder if someone like that would ever be into me?! At least Carlita was kinda nice to me.. It’s kind of weird though how no important quests show up when Maine is not around and when there is only one left she always gets the last one even if I try… She will still be away tomorrow as the next town is a day’s travel by foot. So I will see if this trend continues! Anyway I should go sleep now.. Summer fell asleep on the middle of the bed and i did not want to distrub her so I guess I will sleep on the floor next to her. I don’t want her to be afraid that I am gone should she wake up! I wonder if Ynaja can heal backpains?!

What Bad Luck! I got reborn into another life, and Now I am a Side Character! (Part 2)

It is time to step out of the spotlight and into the role of the comical relief side character again! In this series I Isekai myself and reincarnated not as the powerful main character.. but the one that provides lines of fun! I asked the god person thing not to change and just be a amplified version of myself. Figuring it would boost my wit and creativity and intelligence.. little did I know my bad traits would be amplified as well! How unlucky am I! If you missed the previous part, you can click here!

Dear Diary.. I would like to say that I woke up feeling refreshed but I did not! In fact I did not wake up at all! I didn’t even sleep! First of all I spilled ink all over my bed and it got like all inkey and soggy! And when trying to clean it up by washing it off I got it soaking wet! So I tried sleeping on the ground but my new tail really did not like that. So I spend the night reading.

Elle

I think I might have learned a spell from one of them! These books are like super easy to remember! Elle apparently was studying to be a mage so I guess that will be my class. I think my Intelligence stat is rather high after reincarnation so that is good! I might make a good Wizard. That morning I went to the guild that Maine is part of. They called it the Owls-Nest. Apparently it is one of the lower ranking guilds in Windmere Port. That is the town I seem to live in. Upon Inquiry why it is not Port Windmere a villager said that there are a few Windmeres across the world of Tenretni. I think she wanted to ask where I was from because she looked at me really strangely before she vomited all over my shoes! She apologised and hurried away! I slipped on something icky and could not catch up anymore! She seemed cute.. perhaps she was my romantic encounter. I would see if I Would meet her again. On my way to the guild building I saw two other people vomit! I guessed cooking in medieval like towns isn’t great for your stomach! My shoes look kinda crusty now though.

The Town Of Windmere-Port just imagine a few more rainbow puddles!

I arrived at the Owl’s nest, where a friendly dark skinned Cleric woman helped me apply to the guild! She told me I was now an Owl… I told her that was incorrect and that I still possessed the goat-like, humanoid en demonic features that come with being a race called Tiefling. I would also not obtain the skill to polymorph myself until I gotten to a decent level 7 which is when I get my first 4th level spell. She asked me what a level was. I explained to her that this world seems to be connected via the multiverse trough another world where this all unfolds as a board game and trough inter dimensional quantum entanglement I should be able to use this knowledge to learn spells.. but that a level had no defining qualities in this world…like another plain. 

Ynaja the Cleric

 But I could tell her that level 7 is reached after obtaining around 23.000 experience points. I also explained to her that easy skill challenge like for example killing some boars would most likely award me with 25xp but said challenge could exist out of 1 to 3 boars so I would likely have to kill between 920 to 2760 boars before i could actually be an owl. Given how my luck was treating me I’d say I’d have a 50% chance to run into a 3 boar encounter about a 35% chance to run into a 2 boar encounter and a 15% chance to get just a single boar. Which led me to expect with, while of course considering a mild deviation,  I would have to kill 2162 boars to obtain the required skill. She just nodded and said “Okay…… But the title for our members is Owls, I am not talking about literal Owls, All our members regardless of their species are called that.

When I finally was signed up, which happens after a few more miscommunications I was ready to take on the quest. Yet of course I took a good look around to the place first. Trying to see if I could locate Maine or Rho. Aside from the dark skinned  human Cleric woman there were three other people there. A human female monk.. white skin..whiter hair..though some peach snaps was spilling into it tinting it lightly as she lay on the bar passed out drunk with a crow on her shoulders.

Daria the Dwarf

A  Paladin in white  armor..whose race I could not identify due to the weird helmet with a tacky golden ornament to it. Then there was another girl at least I think they are! It’s a dwarf.. Gimli was hard it’s really hard to tell! Anyway! They were throwing a tantrum and wielding axes and skins! I assume she is a Barbarian! Daria seems to be her name For some weird reason they do carry some sort of spellbook. The monk clearly is of the drunken fist Archetype! She kept shouting things like “Daria is raging again.. take a sip” ..so I assume she wasn’t fully passed out. Daria told her to “ Fuck Off Mirina”.. So I assume she is called Mirina the monk that is … but why would she need to have intercourse with a person named Off.. that’s a stupid name, could it be the knight? 

Oscott the Paladin

Maine walked in and greeted everyone calling the knight Oscott.. so is Off the crow then? Would that not be forbidden? As she walked across the guild hall she seemed to be floating. I never seen such grace from armoured people, but then again..up until yesterday I haven’t seen many armoured people anyway.. also I died and this was my new life..from which I woken yesterday.. so even if I did before I guess it resets the score! The white knight had not moved a lot yet so little to compare it with.  I made my way up to the quest board when I slipped on a bottle that Mirina probably dropped. Maine walked to the board and helped me up with a smile! ‘I see you joined us Elle’ she said. ‘Oh I’ll take this quest.. a mysterious disease is plaguing the city”  Oscott, Mirina, Daria? Do you wish to join me? It is a four man quest I think. I would love to get to know you all better ?’

Mirina the Monk

The three seemed to agree and before I realised what had happened they went off! ‘But I encountered the girl that vomited all over my shoes! That quest was set up for me!.. Frugpoodles!’ I said while I puffed up my cheeks and stomped on the floor.. but the bottle was still there and I wounded my hoof-foot, I am still not  sure which it is. Maine looked at me sympathetically and said.. first have your foot checked out by Ynaja over their..pointing at the cleric. ‘I’ll take you next time.. ..or at least sometime soon, you know when we have a nice and easy quest so we can relax a bit’.  She then walked off with her newly formed party. I saw there was only one other quest remaining.. an old lady lost her frying pan I needed to get it back for her.. I sighed as I hobbled over to the cleric to have my leg healed.

I had a nice lunch with the woman named Ynaja she treated me to some soup as she healed my foot. She talked about how I was an odd new member to their ranks but that she liked that. Maine had only joined recently as well and Rho immediately took on his first quest, to track some bandits in a forest.  Now it was time for my first quest.. it did not pay well but at least I could do it alone. As I made my way to the old ladies house that posted the request I began thinking about Maine some more. She really was pretty..but probably super straight as well. Now she’d even get the new characters introduced to her and I could not even see them! Well at least I had a quest now and a mystery one to boot! This would work great with my intelligence. The old lady had a bit of a dirty cottage, she really should clean her windows, as is way her vitamin D intake would be minimal. The creeping veins would also impair the structural integrity of this piece of real estate and devalue it’s price when put on the market!
It’s grime had a aesthetically pleasing effect though.

“Oh good the guild finally send me someone, I lost my favorite frying pan dear” So I asked where she last left it.. as she pointed to her kitchen, which made sense in hindsight of course. Yet what I saw there was not what I expected. There was a enormous pile of dirty dish network on there. Like there must have been 23 frying pans and big kettles on top of them. “ One of them had a little message inscribed in the bottom..left by late husband.. but I am afraid they are so dirty I can not read it anymore.. Could you help me deary” she said. “I am too old to lift and clean all those heavy things” Nani! my first quest was doing dishes?! I hate doing the dishes sooo much! “I guess all heroes have to start somewhere” I said to her and she just nodded while she sat in her rocking chair.

Daisy

I cleaned every single plan.. even the big ones.. because otherwise she would lose it again!  It took me well over three hours to get everything clean.. but not a single pan had a inscription on the rim. I told her this and she looked at me with strangely  gleefull eyes “Oh dear.. then it must have been the one that I loaned out to my grandson, how silly of me” I reassured her it was quite okay she seemed to feel so bad!  “He is a cook somewhere.. I can’t remember his name.. but I know he wears a very odd hat chef, you could ask around in town people are sure to know who he is” “My grandfather kept forgetting the names of his grandchildren as well especially my brother.. gods have mercy on his soul’. I bid the lady farewell as she said I could call her Daisy, which weirdly is the exact name I would have come up with for her?! Townsfolks meanwhile where up and about.. apparently Maine and her party had discovered a evil necromancer had settled in town hiding in our ranks..cursing the people of the town. Now they were investigating who it might be. 

Maine the Fighter

I tried to find them.. thinking they might suspect me! I was new in town and I knew spells.. so it would make sense. I found them and Maine chuckled when I reported in! Oh no Elle dear! I do not suspect you, I honestly doubt that a high level necromancer would knock herself out using a garbage can, you also don’t seem to know people all that well and you told me you feared fire did you not?” I nodded.. I had discussed that with her during one of our talks the day earlier. “Well then it can’t be you, Mirina found out that this curse requires ashened flesh as well as some very intrinsic hand motions and seals, since you are afraid of fire and have the dexterity off a ochre Jelly I don’t think you can be our suspect. That’s so weird.. how does she know that?! I would classify my own dex stat as 6.. I fall more than zombies! What a peculiar guess! Maybe it’s really iconic. I decided to ask them  if they saw a guy with a weird hat. “Bah, you talking about Ematt, he’s the chef for our guild .. but we ‘ve got a necromancer to find! Good luck with the pan hunt’ they took off. I rushed back to the guild.. the pan was there all along.. the classic!  I might matter after all! Yet dear diary.. you never know where I found it.. it was in ANOTHER huge pile of dishes!

My arms hurt so much when I finished all the dishes! I broke quite a few plates by accident so that would have to come out of my quest reward Ynaja said, but she said it was okay I would keep about half still! I had finally found the pan! I had a horrible day .. but I completed my first real life quest ever! Washing dishes was not a skill test I guess but completing a quest surely would award me with some XP, that way I could earn better spells and become a great help to Maine.. part of the main heroes!  Destiny awaited me! With the last of my strength I rushed back to Daisy’s house so I could get my money! Than I could buy some food as well! Later I could then move into the forest  and find out Maine’s secrets! It would all work out. When I drew closer I suddenly saw sparks or  at least lighting coloured lights from the other side of the dirty windows. I could not tell if it was an arc, or a spark because of how dirty those windows where.  I hoped Daisy was alright. I bravely dashed in.. and then the door flew out of its hinges and into my face.. Mirina was riding on top of it being propelled by something. Then the familiar blackness came over me. 

When I woke up I saw Daria bend over the corpse of Daisy! “Oh no, they were evil! I found out and I would have to stop them.. Maine was a villainess with an evil crew.. like Aizen from Bleach. Maine stood next to me and reached her hand out to me “Are you alright “ she asked. I got really scared and might have peed a little. “Please don’t kill me?!” I said.  “Why would I do that” she asked. “Because you are evil and murder innocent people in town pretending it’s the work of some disease or something” I said! I was onto the plot I was sure about it.

Unfortunately I was wrong! My Intelligence might be high but apparently I failed my wisdom saves. It turns out Daisy was the Necromancer all along.  She compelled people into believing she had lived there for ages. Altering memories so that they believe she was part of the community. Each night she would throw a dinner party and then curse people! Once they died she would dig them up.. cut off their flash and Ashen it in her kitchen… when people would just think she would be preparing the feast for the next day. No one suspected a thing.  If she could murder the entire town she would have a vast skeletal army with whom she could rule the world. I nodded.. “I did not see that coming”..

Well at least everything was done now all that I needed to do was ……wait a minute… my quest giver died! I just failed my first quest! I just spend six hours washing dishes for nothing..well three hours for nothing.. the other three improved the quality of life for people in the guild. Ematt probably would be happy to.. now that his not grandma …grandma was beaten to a pulp by a barbarian two fighters and a monk I bet his mental disposition would not be with the dishes! I began to sniffle.. that I failed my quest. Now I had to pay Ynaja with money I didn’t have either and I was hungry and  tired! Maine smiled at me and gave me a gold coin saying “I will settle your debt with the guild .. use this to buy some food, get a long rest and try again tomorrow, you can do this Elle” I swooned a bit and did exactly as she asked .. she is so pretty!

I managed to get a bunch of food from a store that was still opened way past convenient times. Stores in fantasy worlds are so weird! Do they ever close?! Well in Skyrim they did.. but in a lot of games.. they do not! I guess I got lucky for once. I got some bread.. and eggs and potatoes and even some meats.. with a gold coin I could last a few days! Of course I saved some silver because meats spoil. Still Maine said I should get a long rest! That’s the DnD term for an 8 hour rest or so that restores your spells. Yet again.. she almost talks like a DnD player! Maybe it was a coincidence.. maybe I looked tired.. covered in ink, sick booze and dishgrease! I would find out more that night!  First I washed up! Then just just a tiny egg sandwich and a short rest! I’d be good to go! I woke up..at first light.. Crusts of my egg sandwich still in hand! I missed Maine’s secret meeting! I missed the main quest! I missed everything again! Besides that my house was smelling kinda funky! Like.. ..Oh no!  I rushed back to my stove and my worst fears have came true! There was the pot I cooked my eggs in.. all blacked. another pan I wanted to fry an egg in but never did was blackened too.. Argh! I don’t wanna do the dishes again! I wanna go home!  I HATE DOING DISHES!!!!!!!

Will Elle discover more about the mysterious Maine the next day? Will she be able to bond with her new guildmates and will she able to kill  2162 boars? Would she even try?

What Bad Luck! I got reborn into another life, and Now I am a Side Character! (Part 1)

Hello guys gals and everyone else that visits my island! Today I decided to start writing a Isekai like story! What would happen if I got Isekaid?! Well here is my story! Including a super long title!

Intro

I never thought it would happen to me, but then I died! Everything went black when I saw that cute little cat, it’s skin was so black and it made the cutest meow! I remember .. falling. From a stairway perhaps? Man I am never lucky! Yet then I heard it’s voice.. Kami of the new world.. the voice said I would be reborn… there was no real shape but I imagined him like a moose..or maybe a powerful stag… something forestry and wild.. and pride was in his voice.

He told me I would be reborn in a new world. I told him , I like me I wanna be myself. He told me a girl named Elle accidently magicked her soul away and I would get her body, but I could take a boon into my next life. So since I wanted to be myself.. I asked to be myself.. but amplified! Isekai characters usually get a huge stat upgrade.. so I just asked for that. Just upgrades so I would be be.. I have a pretty good brain on me.. so if this Elle is magic.. I bet it will turn out fine! I just forgot.. how unlucky I can be!

Day 1
Morning

Dear diary.. I woke up in a strange bed today! Lot’s of clutter on the floor, drawings and some runic things , which I think are spells. I woke up with a strange headache.. but I guess having your soul mushed into a new body that sort of thing is expected. Anyway I decided to get up filled with energy, I am going to be an overpowered and beloved heroine and make lots of money from quests and live in a mansion! At least that was what I thought at the time.

I got up out of bed and tried to search for a bathroom… now let me tell you Isekai shows do never really explain this well.. but baths are hard to find in medieval times. A bar of soup is even harder to find! The girl I am now does seem to have a lot of rose water though.. I guess it is used to mask the scents.. when I tried sniffing to see how bad the damage is I noticed something though my skin was blue?! Nani!

So upon further investigation I also discovered there was also a pillow stuck to my head. While stepping away all flustered I accidently stepped on my tail.. which I did not know I have and I fell into a mirror and broke it.. I wasn’t very hurt though.. because I hit it with a horn.. which did break off.. the pillow stuck to my head was skewered on the other..I somehow know the other will go back.  Which is good because soon after I after I fell of the stairs, trying to find another mirror.. apparently I have hoof-like feet. It’s not exactly a hoof.. but it’s not like the human flat foot either. So with two broken horns.. and these features.. I think I might be something close to a Tiefling.. or maybe like a Draenei from World of Warcraft… they are about the same thing anyway. Well at least my skin colour combines nicely with pink!

Day 1
After Noon

I was surprised.. and slightly injured,  as I managed to get dressed from my sleeping gown. Which wasn’t easy! I can hardly see anything! I had pretty bad eyesight when I was human..but this was ridiculous…that’s when I realised that bastard Moose guy must have amplified that trait of me!  I hoped opticians were thing in the city! I also found a coin purse apparently Elle had some money! So I decided to go out and see if I can get my eye problem fixed.

Now while Elle doesn’t smell that bad, I guess it’s a Tiefling thing, the same can not be said for the human males at least I assume that’s what they were.. obviously with my eyesight this impaired it is impossible to verify. As I was stumbling around someone asked me if  everything was alright. The blob looked blond and sounded female. Could this be my fated encounter.. where I meet my side character?! I explained her that I had bad eyesight and lost my aid. She offered to take me to a man who made glasses. I guess that is a relief.Now those glasses cost me nearly all my coins..I am not sure if I have enough for food now.. but at least I will be overpowered so finding a job should not be too troubling.


My estimations proved to be correct. The blond blob person was a human lady. She wears this regal blue coat and a fancy scabbard. She waited for me , in case these glasses would not help, also she was curious about my species as she never saw a Tiefling before. She said she was new to this place, having only been in town for a couple of days.

Her home town is far away and apparently does not have the diversity. I guess it means Elle is not from this town originally either.. or she would have seen more right? I had not seen any blue blobs on the way here. So I told her. I just rented the place.. I lived in and arrived yesterday.. but in the move my glasses had gone missing. She said she could show me around town… she definitely is my fated encounter. I bet we are going to be a popular ship! Though I never experienced that pausing moment with the hearts and the glow. Maybe that is anime only?

She told me her name was Maine. She seems to be a high level hero because as soon as we stepped out the store I got robbed of my last few coins! She raced after the thief, which was a Half Elf Rogue..they seem to have been acquainted “You Again?” She asked? Which was followed by him apparently making playful remarks at her “We got to stop meeting like this” “Seriously you might starve me if you keep stopping me.. wouldn’t you be sad if I died”. She and him bantered for a while.. before he gave her my nearly empty coin purse back.

She told him, designating him as Rho, to join the guild that he could make some honest coin. “He asked where the fun was in that”. I got a bit excited and said I might join the guild. Maine snickered a bit and told me that I might need to get better at staying out of harm’s way first. Then we hurt a scream…. This was it.. the moment where I could say a cool one-liner “Maybe Danger is just drawn to me”  or maybe something sugoi like “It is harm that should stay out of my way”… but Maine totally stole my spotlight. “Maybe it’s me, who is drawn to danger.. if that’s the case.. let’s get dangerous!’ She totally stole that from Dark Wing Duck! Anyway as we ran towards the sound I tripped on my tail and I think I hit my head on a trashcan!

Day 1
Evening

When I woke up it  was already sunset was upon us. I looked around but neither Rho or Maine were around. The screaming had stopped as well instead I could hear.. singing? Not like the beautiful kind.. but you know the songs that those sunburnt brits in shiny t-shirts sing when people  have chased a round leather object for 90 minutes. Why is my mind describing like that? I know the name.. but see it in my head all analytical like?! Is it a result of my good stats?! I could not linger on it .. we had a villain to defeat.. by now it has certainly captured my new friend and I must save her! This is the moment where the heroine will save her dashing young companion and they start traveling together! Let’s go!

Perhaps I have a very high wisdom modifier.. or perhaps my perception check is quite high despite my eyesight.. but it did not take me long to locate Maine. Apparently she was the reason people were singing. They lift her up and sing the song of a hero or something. Saying she vanquished a servant of the Dark Order. Apparently this Rho guy helped.. but then escaped before he could be arrested.

I finally met up with Maine in the bar and she forgot my name! I guess it might be the Tsundere.. like trope.. or well what is it called.. the one where the Heroine is invisible to her crush until she can prove her worth!?! Of course that would not happen in the first episode! She gave me on of the drinks people bought her and we talked a bit. She seems to be hiding something. At one point Rho showed up.. kind of disguised he apologized for stealing for me… but not before the two had this weird epic stare down for a moment they did not even seem to move at all. I kinda felt ignored.

I should report to the hero guild .. because apparently my money will only buy me like a weeks worth of food. So at least I have plans for tomorrow. Of course this is the perfect place to get a mysterious encounter.. someone who hands me a note.. “I know what you are, meet me at the docks tomorrow after sunset’ It will be amazing and I will finally shine. I also discovered that as a Tiefling I have an impressive blatter.. it was late at evening when I first had to make a sanitary stop… knowing this a medieval fantasy world though..

I knew it wasn’t going to be pleasant. Even expecting the worst it did not disappoint. If you think what Shou Tucker did to his daughter was disgusting, you have never seen a medieval toilet. Well it’s just a box.. with a hole.. but at least they had booths with locks in the tavern. When trying to open it I accidently dropped the key into the hole though… On the plus side I got some practice with my tail ………After a good wash up I got back to my company though.

Maine looked a bit shocked as Rho was trying to comfort her when I got back. He is acting super awkward for some reason it doesn’t seem to help her a lot and she calls him Baka for not understanding. Shouldn’t see call me stupid for being trapped in the bathroom?!  Maybe she is not my encounter but like a senpai?! I did not know what to think so inquired to her state of mind. She said it was nothing.. but I pushed on!  “I might not see a lot but this I can tell” .. reluctantly she shown a note a mysterious stranger just gave her.

It read “I know about you, meet me in Blackshroom Forest tomorrow when the clock strikes twelve times at night. I blurted out “Well technically he means the day after tomorrow then” after which I pushed my glasses back on my face… “Wait that is not a very main character thing to do, they do not nag about the details they rush in”.. Maine kind of ignored me and just got up and dashed out. …. Wait … “she helped a helpless character, had a flirty encounter, defeated a monster and got a plot hook onto the next episode?” Could it be?!  I AM A SIDE CHARACTER?

Day 1
Night

More investigation is needed,  however a continues streak of misfortune  has made this quest for knowledge rather impossible this day. I never was a lucky girl on earth either but it seems a lot worse now. Maine seems to have her secrets to.. but if she is the lead character of this story..perhaps my key to getting a life.. lies with her.. or a way to get home! Tomorrow I shall set out to the guild she is part of .. if I can join I am sure I can force myself in a role inside her life. I never heard of persons being reincarnated as a side character before.. so I am sailing blind here.. I need some money first..so tomorrow morning I will go to the guild, tomorrow afternoon I shall do a quest and then I will go to the forest to discover more about Maine. Now it’s time for bed.. but it will be a uncomfy night because I just spilled ink all the over my matra….
