470 Words
He opened his eyes, remembering that he was inside his room, but this time he was in a different place.
The air was clear and cool, carrying the fragrant scent of flowers and the dazzling rays of the sun touching his skin.
He looked around. That's when he realized he was standing in a lush and colorful garden, surrounded by vibrant and colorful flowers.
He could hear the chirping of birds, a melody unlike anything he had ever heard before.
He looked around, his eyes widening in wonder. The world around him was different from what he was used to.
The structures were enveloped in various colors, with intricate carvings and sparkling lights.
The people, too, were different, their attire traditional, their faces unlike reality.
That's when he realized and connected everything. He felt a mix of emotions.
He was sure he was in the world of ANIME!
He was transported to a world he had only dreamed of before, a world on the pages of manga and on the screen of his computer.
He didn't know how to return. What to do to get back.
The look of wonder was still evident on his face as he gazed at the surroundings.
He was about to take a step to explore the new world he found himself in when a figure emerged from the shade of a nearby cherry blossom tree.
The figure was just the right height, with skin as fair as the moonlight, hair flowing like silver cascading down their back, vibrant eyes of green sapphire, and wearing a long emerald green robe with silver decorations. Pointed ears, longer than that of a human.
The figure approached him with a sweet smile. "Heyyy, looks like you're lost," the woman said.
He was still feeling overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the beautiful lady, so he couldn't speak immediately.
He had never seen anyone this beautiful, an otherworldly appearance.
She seemed like a character come to life from the pages of his favorite manga, he was sure she was an Elf.
Finally, he managed to form a question, "Who... are you?" he asked hesitantly.
The Elf chuckled, a gentle and melodic sound. "I'm Elara," she said, extending her hand. "Pleasure to meet you."
He accepted her outstretched hand, his fingers trembling slightly. "I-I'm Elias..." he introduced himself.
"Elias..." the woman repeated and her smile widened, "what a beautiful name. And what brought you to our world?"
He didn't know how to explain how he ended up here. He was also unsure how to return to the real world.
He didn't answer, so the lady spoke again. "Whatever brought you here, let it be," the lady said with a welcoming tone, "we gladly accept you."
He could only nod. He had no idea what awaited him in this new world.
