[Day 1] Prologue: A New Beginning



SheenaThe Apocalypse War, it was a war so extreme that it threatened to extinguish the entire world. A few decades had passed since then, and the world of Halkeginia has now regained peace. Every intelligent species all over the continents have learned to co-exist. There were no longer any large scale wars, although small skirmishes do occur from time to time.

After the Apocalypse War, Saito and Louise had crossed dimensions and went back to Earth via the World Door magic. They settled down in Saito’s hometown in Japan for a while. Right now they’re in their forties and have a beautiful daughter called Hiraga Sheena.

Sheena is a 17 years old young lady, she has beautiful blonde pink hair like her mother which is a very uncommon sight on Earth, so she stands out a lot. She has a pair of sapphire-colored pupils more brilliant than her father’s blue eyes. Not to mention her fair skin, well-rounded breasts and slender waist, she also has a pair of long and slender snow-white legs. She stood tall at 1.7 meter high and looked just like a model. Naturally, she was very popular and a lot of men had proposed to her.

Their daughter is extremely talented in magic and able to fully utilize all four basic elemental magic, namely, the Earth, Fire, Water and Wind Magic. Because they did not wish to restrain Sheena’s talent, she is currently studying at Tristanian Magic Academy in the continent of Halkeginia.

With the power of Louise as a void mage, she can naturally open a portal between Earth and Halkeginia. They could freely travel between the two worlds.

Right now, their daughter, Sheena, is in her second school year and is deemed as the ultimate genius of the century. Today is the day she will finally summon her own familiar.

***

Now, going back a little in time.

On Earth, there was a young man known as called Silva. He was in his early 20’s and around 1.74 meter tall. His look was on the average side and nothing in particularly stood out. In other words, he’s just an ordinary man you could find anywhere on Earth.

On a certain day, he went out to the shopping district to collect the mail from the post office.

When he arrived at the post station and got out of his car, he noticed that a young girl around the age of ten on the opposite side of the road, she was not paying attention to the cars when crossing the road.

Right about this moment, several cars suddenly appeared from the junction and moved at a high speed. The drivers seemed to be racing in this desolate road and did not expect to find a little girl in the middle of the road. They frantically hit the brake and a loud screech could be heard. But with that speed and distance between them, there was simply not enough time.

Upon noticing this, Silva’s body moved involuntarily as he dashed towards the little girl. He pushed her away from the car that was fast approaching. He thought he could use the recoil of the push to fall back and avoid getting hit by the car, but the girl was simply too light, so he was able to push the girl away quite easily. There was not enough recoil force, so he simply fell forward, against his own expectation. The car was already right in front of him and with a “bang,” it send Silva flying a few meter away and rolled on the ground, with blood splattered everywhere.

“Ah… reality is cruel… ” Silva thought to himself secretly as his vision blurred. However, even in such a situation, Silva was worried about the girl. He tried to move his eyes desperately to look at the surroundings, he was not able to move a single muscle at all, but at the corner of his sight, he could faintly see the little girl on the ground crying.

“Ah…… if she could cry so energetically like that, then she’s fine… I’m relieved… at least my life is not wasted like this…” Was Silva’s last thoughts before he took his last breath.

When Silva opened his eyes again, all he could see was pitch black darkness. There was no hint of light and he couldn’t even see his own fingers in this darkness.

“Where am I? Is this the afterworld? This place is much gloomier than I thought.” Silva shivered at the thought that he might have to spend the rest of his life in this endless darkness.

***

Now back to world of Halkeginia, deep within the forest of Alden, in the continent of Germania. There was a secret village of elves hidden in the dense jungle of Alden.

Inside a beautiful chamber, therein lies the body of an Elven Princess  devoid of any soul. She was lying on a large canopy bed for who knows how many years already. Her name was Ranah Elwyn la Sylphis.

Apparently she was a huge figure who played a major role in the Apocalypse War a few decades ago. She fought against a certain entity which threatened to destroy every species in the world, she was the one who convinced the proud elves to work together with the other races in order fight against this calamity and survives to see another day.

But when she went to investigate a certain dungeon some time after the war, she received a critical damage to her soul. Now she just spend all her time on the bed, staring at the ceiling with blank expression… she is slowly forgotten due to the passage of time.

***

Just at this moment, Silva heard a voice resounding from all directions. At the same time, a magic circle surrounded the body of the Elven Princess, “… I, Sheena de Hiraga des Ornières, command thee, who possesses the noblest soul and body, come forth and serve as this one’s sword and shield!”

Suddenly, a bright radiance appeared in the endless darkness, Silva naturally yearned for the light so he stretched his arms in hope reaching the only light source in this dark abyss. Elwyn’s body floated in midair as the magic circle that surrounded her lifeless body intensified. Then all of a sudden, the magic circle warped her entire body and disappeared along with it.

By the time Silva opened his eyes again, he saw an alluring beauty with blonde pink hair in front of him, loudly declaring, “From hence forth, you shall be serve as this one’s familiar!”

Silva was completely dumbfounded, he had completely no idea what just occurred. However, ignorant to Silva’s state of mind, the girl continued by asking for his name.

“Uh… Oh, my name? It’s S-Silva…” The young man answered obediently and the girl just nodded slightly before she introduces herself.

” …I see… so your name is Sylvia? I am Sheena de Hiraga des Ornières. Nice to meet you!” With a charming smile, Sheena introduced herself.

“Sheena…… de Orni what?” Silva was not good at remembering names, all the more when it comes to long and complicated name like Sheena’s, so he only managed to catch a little of her name. Silva was completely mesmerized by the pure smile of the young girl. Due to that, he didn’t notice that his own voice was high pitched.

Sheena chuckled and said, “You can just call me Sheena. I look forward to working with you.” Then she stretched her hand forward to lend Silva — who was currently kneeling on the ground with both knees — a helping hand.

Silva stretched his hand to take Sheena’s hand by reflex, but the moment he saw his delicate hand, he felt that something was not right. Only now did he realize that there were long strains of golden hair flowing down from his shoulder, and his chest felt kind of heavy. More importantly, the region between his crotch felt kind of empty.

When he resolved himself to look down, he saw two mountains bulging from his chest, a long and beautiful straight blonde hair draped from one side of his shoulder, and moreover, he is wearing a beautiful white one piece dress.

Just from these visual information, Silva could tell that this was most probably not his own body! Sure, he was surprised, but as an avid fan of Light Novel, Manga and Anime, he already had a rough idea of the current situation.

Half of the reason Silva did not retort when Sheena addressed him as Sylvia was because he was mesmerized by her charm, the other half was because he was half resigned. There were already plenty of people who pronounced his name wrongly and called him Sylvia in his previous life. He had to correct them every single time, but since he really is a girl now, retorting would only be counterproductive. So it’s pointless to argue over that now.

But this development was still a bit too sudden for Silva, now known as Sylvia. She still couldn’t immediately accept it as a reality, so she pinched her cheeks so hard to reaffirm herself.

“Ouch!!!” Upon sensing the pain, Sylvia immediately shouted with tearful expression.

She could feel the pain but she still couldn’t believe it since it was not impossible to feel pain in a dream, so she clasped her hands together and concluded, “Yep, this must be a dream!”

Sheena was confused at the sight and asked, “What are you doing?”
