I’ll tell you about my adventures in the other world…
Where should I start?
Maybe with how I met a real live elf — and she nearly ate me. Or how I lost my name, which cost me the magic power I never even had in the first place. Or how, together with some unexpected allies, I took down a vicious archmage who’d been draining the life out of sentient beings?
Go ahead, say it: “What nonsense is this?! How can you — a full-fledged candidate of sciences and senior research fellow — believe in such hogwash?” You’d probably be right. I sure as hell wouldn’t have believed myself.
But I won’t bore you, my dear reader, with long-winded tales about scientists’ work — I had more than enough of that in my other life. I won’t tell you how or why we opened a portal to another world, because that’s not for outsiders to know. I’ll try to keep it short, if I can.
