Fictious Isekai Life Story 1

 psi here, just made another so enjoy.

Hi, my name is Marie.

And I have a crazy story to tell you, one that i'll never forget and one i've stepped into a fantasy!

So, here's my story.

I was walking along home after getting groceries from the store, which is about 15 km away from my house when I noticed something peculiar, something off. At the road, there is a old building made of bricks, with it's windows barricaded and the walls sprayed with graffiti. but the door was left open, like someone had ventured here. "Huh, that's weird." I thought. and then continued onto my destination to my house but a strange feeling was still latched after I looked at it.

 But then a few days later, after enjoying and having fun with my friends in a pickleball court, I took a walk into my house passing by the grocery store and the old building, but then my ears heard a faint chant. A chant of.... Latin? or something like that. And it came from the old building itself. I glanced at the old building and the strange feeling hit me again, I took a few steps forward at the old building, the strange feeling becoming stronger and stronger with more steps I took. I was almost at the the building, just a few steps away, getting closer and closer and closer. And suddenly a car came quickly zooming in at the road with the horn blaring as it got closer. I dodged it just in time, the strange feeling has broken.

I was in shock from what had happened. Did it just try to kill me? I tried to processed what happened from that event but then I realized, It's not the building. it's just me moving too slowly. Oops. With then I walked away from the building feeling relaxed for a while, unaware that the effect has still lingered in me. I'd reached my home, did some stuff here and there and went into bed.

But that night I was in my room sleeping and I woke up in my bed and looked into my clock. It was 2 AM and i'm thirsty and tired. So I went down, took a glass of water, went up into my room and gone to sleep. And it that moment, while i was sleeping I was in a dream, I was standing here in the road, with my clothes on and in the road there was the abandoned building i encountered before. I tried to move but i can't, I feel that my body was paralyzed, frozen and hard as stone. I used all of my strength to try to move, but to no avail. And then I heard the faint chanting and it came from there, the old building. And then, my body started to move, and the movement was stiff and stone like. I tried to take control of my body to move, but it still wouldn't. Then my head was forced and locked to face the door, with it's chanting getting slowly louder. I tried calling for help, but no one was there. Not even anyone. And then, tendrils slowly started to spew out of the door and then reaching to the sidewalk, It latched onto the cracks at locked itself into place. I was getting scared from this and this won't end. The chanting grew louder as my bod drifted closer to the door, the world around me has slowly turned vertigo, with only the building unfazed. I was getting terrified! Then more tendrils spewed out from the door, it wrapped my body as I stood frozen in horror, the tendrils became suddenly tight and quickly dragged me away to the building.

I woke up in shock and fell to the floor while struggling to get air. I got up took some deep breaths and it finally went normal. I sat at my bed, to collect myself. My mind was racing and trying to process from it. My mind is shouting, "WHAT EVEN WAS THAT, THIS IS GOING TO TRAUMUTIZE ME FROM THIS, I HATE IT GETTING WRAPPED WITH TENDRILS!?" (By the way I forgot to mention that, i have trypophobia, which means fear of holes, but it's not limited to just holes it can be fear of patterns or clusters) So, after from that experience I looked at my clock and it was 7 AM. Though it's just a dream, but this is going to stuck with me. FOR LIFE. I got down from my room, ate breakfast and meet with my friends.

In the pickleball court, I was preparing my stuff to leave and decided to have a talk with my friends about my dream.

"Hey, I have something to say."

"What is it?"

"It's about..... something."

"Well, ok. Speak up."

I was about to say something but my words went dry, I wanted to say something from the dream, but it wouldn't. my mouth was completely shut, but it felt forced, like something was doing this.

"Ummmm, Hello?"

"Oh, just nothing, just nothing, just want to...... speak something, but I chickened out."

"Well, it's ok, you can save that for later."

And went into the car.

"Hey you want to come?"

"No thanks. I prefer walking."

"You are a nature girl are you?"

"Well, I still use cars for a trip and going places quicker sometimes."

"Oh. well me too. me too."

"Well, goodbye."

She then went into the car with my friends, and drove away. I took a stroll through the road, then into the park, the breeze was refreshing and I can feel the fresh cold in my body. But I was interrupted by a thief who quickly stole my purse. I tried to pull it back from the thief but he yanked it out of my hands. I was in rage, so I took of my shoe, aimed it at thief and threw it. It struck straight to the head, collapsing to the ground. I went into the thief and took my purse back where it belonged. Now that will teach him not to steal.

Later that night, I was in my living room laying on the couch with my phone, glued to the screen watching tiktok videos. I was still scrolling but then I heard a knock on the door. I took notice and opened.

But there is no one there.

I closed the door, and went back into my couch, and then i heard a knock again.

I opened the door again, and still, no one.

I closed the door, went to the couch again.

But then I heard a knock again. It's starting to get annoying.

"Ok, if you knock on the door again, I will give you a taste of my shoe."

I opened the door, looked, and no one was there.

So, I decided to close the door, crouched down and stayed beside the door, with my sandals ready in my hand. I thought, "If I just stay there, he'll think that i was in the couch, and he'll knock again." And there was knock at the door.

I opened the door, and there is still no one here. I got out outside with my sandal ready. I looked around and there was no one around.

"Phew, He must've been too scared from me."

When I turned around i saw someone at my door. Sneaking into my house.

"Aha! I knew you are there!"

The man was in shock and dashed into the backyard. and I followed him.

"You can't get away from me!"

I chased the man and followed his trail, going through pedestrian lanes, alleys and dodging people, he was running for his life and was sweating. After a while, he then went into the old building and dissapeared, I followed there, unknowingly that I entered to that abandoned building.

I went into the building and went downstairs and yelled: "Come on, show some manpower will ya?" But there was no one there, "Don't try to be a coward! Come on show yourself!" I replied. But still no one was there. "Huh, maybe he was a chicken." I thought, and went upstairs. But just I was about to step outside, I heard a chant. That same chant I heard before, And the strange feeling starts to seep in. That's when I realized I stepped into that creepy, boarded up, building. I stepped outside, but I wasn't over to see this man. So, I went inside and gone downstairs. And inside was an room with junk scattered around, there was a shelf at the end of the stairway with only a small old wooden box being placed. There were old crates placed at the end of the room, with cable reels placed at the corner and some are empty, there were only a few warehouse shelves in here, scattered around, with one pair placed at the corner, and at the floor was a rusty toolbox tucked below the crates.

"Huh, this looked normal."

And then I saw a dim trailing wisp, floating and moving slowly and gracefully. It then went through the door. passing through like a ghost, leaving a long faint trail. I opened the door, and saw the trail continuing it's path. I followed it, went into corridors, stairs and rooms, just to follow what is leading me. I stopped into the path, and took a peek. And the wisp was going into the library and into the tall ornate doors. It let out a quick flash as it entered the ornate doors, then it let out a white burst of light as it entered the other side, the room quickly became dim before becoming dark once more.

"Well looks like there is something behind here."

I went into the library, gone down to the stairwell and approached to the door. It had details of figures in poses at the top and the frames with vines of wood stretched at the sides. The details of the doors featured flowers and plants engraved into the doors and with six figures on robes with different poses at a clockwise position, and the lockset was in the shape of a lion with it's mouth open and inside the lion's mouth was a special keyhole, featuring only 4 bits required to open. And the sidelights feature two men, muscular and nearly naked. One with a rod of iron and a eagle perched at the top, and the other with a hammer on his right and smithing tongs on his left. Finally the dome shaped transom was a painting of Michelangelo's mural from the Sistine Chapel.

I was in awe from the details, but I brushed it off and try to find the way to open this door. I first looked at the keyhole.

"Hmmm. Maybe the key was somewhere."

I tried to look for the key, skimming through books, looking through drawers, but found nothing.

"Maybe the key was one of those books." I thought.

I started to pull every book in the library, and as I was pulling every book trying to find something to trigger, like a secret room. But then i saw a piece of paper sticking out of one of the books.

"Well, this might me a clue."

I took the book and pulled the paper that is sticking out of it, and found a code and a sketch of a briefcase being at the basement near the entrance.

"Well, well, this is interesting."

I searched for a code that matches and quickly found a sliding puzzle at one of the table drawers, and instead of featuring numbers, it featured shapes and patterns. So I used my code as a guide and it clicked. And when i opened it, inside were five cards, and in it's pair are: Jack of Hearts, King of Diamonds, Ace of Spades, 10 Hearts and the Queen of Clubs.

"This might be another piece."

I looked around and wandered in the halls looking for a piece. And I remembered that this may be somewhere at the basement. So i've gone into the base and looked under the crates and cables reels, and found a frame. The frame contains five card holders and at the back has wooden key bits at the corners, I looked at the stairway shelf and found some papers. There are only a few placed inside here, so i walked into the shelves and flipped the papers, two of the papers are documents and three of them are hints at the puzzle.

"I wonder how these documents came from, and I better keep it."

I folded the documents and placed it into my pocket. Then I took the old box from the shelf at the end of the stairway and went back down. I went back to the library and looked for the table drawers and found a matching table with bits like a keyhole.

"This will fit into it."

I placed the frame into the table, placed the cards and used the papers to solve this puzzle and after a few tries I got it right. But nothing happened. I tried opening the drawer, but it wouldn't move.

"Maybe, I should twist it?" I thought.

I twisted the table, opened the lid and found a toolbox key. I wasted no time to use bring the toolbox key and got back to the basement. I opened the toolbox with the key and found nothing but tools. But I did find a crowbar hiding in the crates and looked for something inside the basement. I looking something, a final clue, somewhere in the walls, under the floors and even the ceiling. But found nothing here. In frustration, I threw my crowbar at the wall and it broke something. There was a secret space in the area and it left a crack inside the plank, I went into the place and knocked onto the place to make sure there's something here. And there was really something here. So I used my crowbar to pry open the plank, and there it was, a briefcase, fitted with seven keyholes at the front and four keyholes at the sides. I took the briefcase and also found a 4 bitted key, the size of a flashlight slanting at the wall.

"At last I FOUND IT!"

With joy filling in my body I brought the key and the briefcase and went down into the library and then to the doors. I took one last final look at the doors and a final glance at the transom. I took a deep breath, placed the key inside the lion shaped keyhole and twisted it open. I then slowly pulled the vertical handles, with light slowly blinding me and filling the library with light....
