The Isekai Game: Future Diary - Chapter 8

Dani crept in and closed the door, “Where is all the color? This place is so dull with no color,” she looked all around, “This is literally a wasteland with only one building way the fuċk over there. Now I’m supposed to walk? Uh uh,” she noticed her little southern dress and smiled, “Oh my God, this is so cute,” she hopped, “I’m like one of those country girls, all dolled up and stuff,” she stroked her simulated pigtails while looking further, “But seriously, where am I,” and smiled, “Oh, and I got the pigtails to match,” wind blew dirt towards her, and her smile away, “This looks like a horror movie and I’m-” she smacked her hɨps, “I’m alone. These niggas seriously had me come to this spooky place alone. What was the whole purpose to apologizing if they were going to do this?” she walked closer to the building slowly to peak in, “Is this Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Because that’s what it looks li-. Oh, it’s a clearance,” she ran down the dirt road leading to the store, “I’m in. I’m gonna buy something before I get murdered here,” while laughing, she remembered that the only piece of gear she was given was her philosopher stone around her neck, “Why give me my necklace if this isn’t an alchemy nor magic theme? the fuċk”.

Approaching the store, Dani could see there were two bicycles outside. Better yet, the clearance sale was 90% off. Her cheeky smile matched her bouncing shoulders as she strutted her way in.

“The fuċk?” the store was empty and the clerk was just as dull as this theme, “Y’all got nothing in here. Why the hell? None of this makes sense,” she walked in and sneezed to the extreme dust that clogged her nose, “So, they send me here to the chainsaw massacre place alone with my necklace which can’t be used. No color. And a 90% clearance sale on nothing,” she chuckled, “I swear these boys are so smart,” a younger Japanese woman wearing a wondrous pair of sparkling red heels walked to the counter, “Oh my god, I love your shoes! They actually have color here”.

The lady turned back with her nose scrunched up, “Who let the trash in here to even see my shoes”?

Dani dropped her jaw and batted her lashes, “Excuse me bitch”!

The lady grabbed her bag to leave, “I don’t have time for you”.

Without a word, Dani ran in swinging. The lady tried to move, but Dani’s hands were too fast. Seeing that the lady had no fight in her, she let down her guard to beat her face in.

They were both standing on a small piece of the old store floor to duke it out with sheer blows. It was at this time that Dani’s guard was tested.

She tried to move around and jab in, but the lady was quick and agile. This lady was truly fighting back and debatably winning.

A few minutes in, when the two were exhausted from punching, Dani tackled the woman down and wailed her fist into her head.

The winds were calming. And though Dani ignored it, there was no longer a tornado around her. Better yet, her stone was activated. She could feel its power tingling down her skin.

Dani kicked up to her feet, and created a large magical circle around each of her palms that gave a mechanical click.

Bullets fired from Dani’s right palm at a rapid rate of 1,000 bullets per minute. The woman’s arms flew off along with her head. Her clothes ripped apart with blood splattering all over the yellow brick road that they were now on that evaporated as did her skin.

Dani was confused, “What the Hell”?

This Japanese lady was seriously melting away. Smoke was rising up from her body as it burned inwards. Everything was demolished except the single pair of red slippers.

“Oh my God,” Dani wiped her face, “What is this?” there was something in the bushes, “These guys got me here by myself, fighting God knows what”.

Dani shrugged, “Okaaaay. That’s nice but…” she looked past the trees and small houses outside of the roadway, “What’s going on here”.

A tiny head poked from behind a tree. She jumped, shocked by how small this little guys was. He came from lurking to wobbling over. Not even his head could pass her thɨġhs.

“You killed the Wicked Witch of the East!” he grunted with his hand up for a shake, “Thank you kind witch”.

Dani batted her eyes, “What?” many midgets like him came from hiding in various places, “Oh, this must’ve been their joke on me being short. Ha haa”.

One midget smiled like a child, “She did it. She saved Oz from the Wicked Witch of the East”!

Dani tilted her head, ‘the Wicked Witch of the… Wait a second,” her speech grew faster than Watson’s, “Did he say ‘Oz’? Like the Wizard of Oz?” her cheek rose to her eyes, “I’m in the Wizard of Oz!” a bubble floated down from the sky. “Uh oh. Which one is this? It’s been a while since I saw that movie”.

The bubble glided down to her feet and popped out to be a Lebanese woman in a blue two-piece dress. Dani couldn’t ignore her sweet smile, long hair, nor the beads dangling from her skimpy top. But what about her buŧŧ? Regardless, Dani didn’t trust this woman.

“Hey,” the woman smiled at Dani’s Ruby Slippers, “I see you killed my evil sister”.

“Oh,” Dani laughed to hide that she noticed the midgets weren’t scared of her, “Yeah, she’s dead. I saved the little ones”.

“Oh no,” chuckled Dani, “I’m just a sorceress passing through”.

The charming witch giggled, “You remind me of the Wizard himself. My name is Bariqa by the way”.

Dani shook her hand, feeling a power channel into her hand. This feeling appeared to be healing her. Not that she really needed it. Dani had enough MP to heal herself. Although her MP did heal up as well.

Bariqa gasped, “Oh no. It’s the Wicked Witch of the West. Quick! You must not let her find you and get to the Emerald City to receive Oz’s help to go home”.

A storm cloud was coming. Winds carried crap from foreign lands in it. Whoever this witch was, Dani could tell could control the storm. Lightning ripped through fields and tore down little midget homes. Their cries were silenced by the uproar. Their tears blew away. Dani was about to fly away due to her small stature.

A meteor struck the road, giving rise to the Wicked Witch of the West, “Who dares-“!

Dani grabbed her right elbow and pointed her index finger at the evil witch to shoot out a couple of 9 millimeter magic bullets. First in the ċhėst a few times, followed by a couple to the head. It wasn’t until the witch was back by at least 35 meters that Dani launched a magical grenade to blow her up.

Upon seeing the Wicked Witch of the West’s arms and legs fly about into the air, the midgets began cheering for their savior. Even Bariqa clapped.

Dani sighed, “So,” she smiled, “Since both evil witches are gone, I’m able to explore the land of Oz, right”?

Dani shrugged, “Sounds cool. I’m gonna find my three friends and travel a bit. This will be fun”.

Bariqa clasped her hands, “Well I’m very excited to see you happy. And I hope you keep doing more to help this Wonderful Land of Oz throughout your journey”.

Dani gave a little dance before orienting herself on the yellow brick road, “Don’t worry. I got you”.

A midget walked up, “To get to Emeral City, just follow the yellow brick road”.

Dani stepped along it while pointing down, “You mean this yellow brick road”.

“Yup,” another midget held his hand out for her, “Yup, just follow the yellow brick road”.

“Awe,” Dani help tow midget’s hands, “They’re so cute,” she felt their voices leading to a tune.

She went with it. Skipping and singing along with the midgets of Oz, Dani laughed and taught the little people a thing or two.. It wasn’t until they sent her away from their town that she pranced towards a wheat field where she was sure to meet a new companion.
