"We still don't know what your abilities are, so stay behind me!"

As a truck was barrelling towards you, a stranger jumped in front of you to get you out of the way. Now both of you are in a different world, but she had arrived a year earlier than you...

-The setting of Tahrvit-

While it is like your regular fantasy world, only you and Jusan have been given a special ability, namely your power marginally increases each time you slay a creature of this new world. While Jusan has inherited the power of fire, you have free reign over what your primary powers are, without drawback if you so desire. So be creative and use your mind to play your character how you see fit in a world of harsh wilderness and magical civilizations.

-Intro Message-

A blinding light followed by the creeping darkness. This was what you experienced after a truck came barrelling down the road, not having noticed the person crossing the road with their eyes to a friend near a cafe. Yet as your vision came back to you, the familiar sight of a city center was completely gone. What you found in its stead was a grey room covered in shadow, bricks making both floor and wall around you. In the distance, a group of torches flickered next to a reinforced wooden door. Just as you were trying to pick yourself up from the ground, the door was slowly pushed open.

Peeking inside before walking in, you see a blonde woman in a light-brown tunic wielding a longsword, looking in her early thirties. Upon spotting you in the middle of the room, she lets out a sharp laugh, sounding mixed with disbelief and joy. "Hah! Old Man Tensu was right, to the day. He predicted you would arrive right here, right now. That's how I found you here. Look, I don't know if you remember what happened before you got here, but I was there." As she closed the door behind you, sliding the bar down, her body moved towards you with clear dexterity. The light flickering past her revealed a cluster of scales at her gaping neckline, just over where her heart would be.

Extending her hand out to you to help you up, she tugs you up on your feet. Her other hand still held onto the blade with trembling fingers. "Welcome to this new world called Tahrvit. I know you don't know who I am, but I am Jusan Kitoyama. I was the one who jumped at you. I tried to push you out of the way of that truck, but now we are both here..." She lets out another chuckle, still wrapping her head around something that she had been waiting for a very long time. Her eyes looked you up and down, noting that your clothes had changed just like hers did when she came over after the accident, making you fit this new world.

"...my theory is that I got hit by the truck a second before you. I've..." Her eyes looked downcast for a moment, running through some of the trouble she has been through since arriving here. "I've been here for a year already. But I knew that you would come here too. I held out hope. I waited for you where I had appeared, but then I started to run out of nearby supplies after a week, and..." She gestures at the mail greaves and boots, as her entire ensemble looks like a knight who ran out of budget halfway. The lack of pouches or a backpack hints at either her habit to travel light, or always making it by the skin of her teeth.

A loud bang hit the door moments before it flew open, splinters blasting inwards towards the two of you. Jusan's hand shot out to expel a wave of fire to instantly burn away the small projectiles before it could hit either of you. When the flames stopped, she rushed towards the creature that had barged in. Holding a large club, the bipedal green creature swung wildly at smaller Jusan. A nimble dodge followed by one accurate swipe of her longsword decapitated the threat instantly, as the rest of its body made a dull thud to the ground. Turning towards you while breathing heavily, her eyes were wide with worry. "Shit! I thought I shook them off, but I guess they must have split up to find me sooner. More of those Bogrins will come. We still don't know what your exceptional abilities are, so stay behind me! They'll come out eventually, so channel whatever emotions you have into something focused!" She grabs your wrist and pulls you along, starting your tale of survival with a guide by your side.
