Annie's Otherworldly Adventure

1. A joke from God: she traveled through time.

She gritted her teeth—if her consciousness could still drive her body, she truly did—she almost lost consciousness. In a daze, she didn't know how much time had passed before she finally felt a sense of relief and completely lost consciousness.

The towering trees, each requiring several people to encircle, their broad, dense foliage blocking out the sun, with only occasional slivers of sunlight filtering through. Annie felt she must be having a strange dream.

The tall trees and broad leaves were beyond her imagination; they were not any kind of plant she knew. Thick vines snaked upwards along the trees, with scarlet fruits hanging from them. A dark shadow leaped past, and upon closer inspection, it was a bird with four claws and an enormous head. It quickly picked a few fruits, glanced around, and ran away.

She thought she must be dreaming. This strange creature, with its extraordinary speed, was beyond her comprehension. Well, maybe her knowledge was too limited. Perhaps such a creature really did live somewhere in the world.

Moreover, she really hoped that she was dreaming. If she was dreaming, then the plane crash in her memory was not real, and the tearing and turning in the darkness was not real either. When she woke up, would she be next to her parents?

Unfortunately, the excruciating pain all over her body reminded her that this was not a dream. So where had she fallen to? Was this unreal scene some mysterious primeval forest she didn't know about, or was it a hallucination caused by the pain?

No matter where she is, given her current state, she probably doesn't have time to figure it out, because she clearly feels her strength draining away little by little. Apart from pain, she can't perceive anything else. Even blinking, the most subtle movement, is difficult for her. Even if she mobilizes all her strength, she can't move even her little finger.

She thought she was dying, and her current clear consciousness was most likely a final burst of energy before death...

Just when she thought she was about to die, the air in front of her began to distort, and a silver light flashed within the distorted air. Then, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of her.

Brown eyes, a high nose, a silver-gray robe over a tall and perfect body, a typical Western face and attire—is this... Death?

Annie's eyes showed confusion.

Just as she was confused, "Death" squatted down in front of her, lifted her head with one hand, smiled and leaned down, his handsome face getting bigger and bigger in front of her... "Death's" forehead pressed against hers, and "bang" it felt like something had crashed into her brain, a huge energy brutally invading, and her head was throbbing.

"Ah..." The excruciating pain exceeded her ability to bear it. Her body, which had no strength left, suddenly roared. The pain continued, and the tyrannical energy did not stop for a moment. Every cell in her body trembled with pain.

Anne was in so much pain she wanted to curse. Why couldn't she just die peacefully in her final moments? Why did she have to suffer like this at the very end?

Despite the constant excruciating pain, she knew she probably didn't have long to live, and memories flooded back like a tide.

She is of mixed Chinese and Western descent and received different educations from a young age. In order to show that her country's education was better, her parents and their family tried their best to cram her with a lot of things, including Western aristocratic elite education and traditional Chinese elite education.

She admitted that she did complain a lot at that time, and she secretly slandered everyone from God to Buddha in her heart. But apart from that, she was still very happy because her parents loved her and her grandparents loved her.

After her younger brother was born, the elders' attention shifted. Coupled with her own resistance and her usual good behavior—well, she admits that sometimes it was deceptive, but overall she was still a filial and good junior—her parents finally agreed to let her go to school like a normal child, except for some necessary extracurricular tutoring, and no longer force her to learn anything more.

After finally enjoying a few years of easy life, she was simply taking a plane to visit her grandparents when they encountered severe turbulence. The turbulence tore the plane to pieces, and the passengers and crew perished...

Is she being punished simply because she's living such a happy life?

Although she wasn't the only child in the family, she received just as much love and care from her parents and elders, even after her younger brother was born.

She didn't know what kind of pain her death would bring to her family. Several times, she wanted to faint, but when she thought of her loved ones, she couldn't give up completely. However, her consciousness began to become chaotic under the powerful impact.

Dad, Mom...

The intense consciousness disrupted the surrounding air. "Death" frowned, but did not stop his actions.

The air became increasingly distorted, and the spiraling airflow was clearly visible. Finally, "Death" stopped its movements.

This little girl's mental power was so strong that she actually found the spacetime rift that had just been torn open and had not yet been repaired!

Consciousness rushed through the crack to her loved ones' side.

“Darling, don’t be sad anymore, Anne. Our Anne is an angel. God must have missed her so much that He called her back.”

This is Daddy's voice!

“She must be living happily in another world, so don’t be sad. Let’s pray for her, okay?” This time, besides hearing her father’s voice, she also vaguely understood her mother’s crying.

"Dad, is my sister in another world? I will pray for her too!"

"Yes, my sister is in another world. Let's pray for her together!"

If Anne could still retain her other senses amidst the intense pain, she would surely have noticed that she was already in tears.

"Dad, Mom, brother..." The broken body murmured the names of its loved ones.

"Death" sighed.

"I'm sorry, child chosen by fate."

Death reached out, gathered energy, and a flash of silver light severed the connection between time and space.

All around, peace returned.

When she woke up again, the pain all over her body seemed to have disappeared. Annie moved her arm and found that she could control it. She did a little more and finally sat up with a roll.

Once again, Anne felt like she was dreaming.

A dream so fantastical it was unbelievable, and now she knew what "Death" had planted in her mind—knowledge, knowledge about the continent she inhabited.

This is the continent of Gerson, one of the many spatial realms in the vast universe.

The Mother Goddess created this earth and then sculpted various gods to rule it. As the earth rose and set in an orderly fashion, the Mother Goddess dissipated her power into the atmosphere, transforming it into the power of laws that bound the gods and all living beings on earth.

In other words, she traveled through time. Isn't that amazing? And that "God of Death" is not actually the God of Death, but one of the gods, the God of Space, who accidentally tore apart the spatial domain of the continent, causing a spacetime rift.

The turbulence caused by the spacetime rift created a plane crash, which she unfortunately encountered, but luckily did not get lost in the spacetime turbulence and traveled here.

The instigator of all this, the Space God, that irresponsible fellow, found her a new body, extracted her soul from her shattered original body, and infused it into the new shell as compensation.

As for him, because he broke the laws of space and time, he was weakened by the power of the laws and could only fall into a deep sleep to recover his strength. Therefore, after briefly appearing to deal with her matter, he disappeared.

What an irresponsible guy!

Anne complained.

Looking at her new body, her tender, fair arms had scratches of varying sizes, but they weren't serious.

Her long, black, wavy hair was now tangled up, her dress was torn to shreds, her knees were covered in red and purple bruises, and she was filthy.

Her chest was still flat. This body was 12 years old, but somehow it grew so thin, like a little bean sprout. This body was a full five years younger than her actual age.

According to my memory, she was a noble lady from Prisat on the Eastern Continent—Anne Aishi, coincidentally also named Anne, sharing the same name as her.

On her way to study at the Royal Magic Academy of the Kane Empire, Miss Ash was attacked and lost in the Monster Forest. She died after accidentally eating a poisonous fruit in the Monster Forest. Then, her body was borrowed by the Space God.

Priscilla is a remote small country in the Eastern Continent, and she is a minor noblewoman in that small country. In principle, she is neither qualified nor has enough capital to study under Kane.

However, because he was found to have a strong affinity for magic and a rare talent for all types of magic during a magic test, his family entrusted him with an important task. After paying a lot of money, he was able to be sent to Kane to study with Prince Priscilla.

After Anne read the memories, she realized that the original owner of this body, Miss Ash, was probably attacked because of the Little Prince. Since the attack was concentrated on the Little Prince and the guards were also focused on protecting him, she escaped into the Monster Forest under the cover of the only two family guards in the chaos.

Two valiant guards used their bodies to hold off the enemy's advance, giving Miss Ash time to escape into the Monster Forest.

Not long after, poor Miss Ash got lost. Of course, even if she hadn't gotten lost, it would have been very difficult for a child to survive in the Monster Forest. Miss Ash probably knew this, so she just wandered around the edge of the Monster Forest, waiting for the little prince's guards to defeat the enemy so they could send someone to find her.

After two arduous days of waiting, no one came, and he was starving, so he picked some fruit growing in the bushes to eat.

Miss Ash wasn't a foolish child. She only picked and ate the fruit after seeing a small beast picking and eating it. However, Miss Ash probably overlooked the fact that humans and animals are different. In particular, this was the Monster Forest, and the fruit that monsters could eat might be highly poisonous to humans.

Actually, the fruit that Miss Ashe ate wasn't particularly poisonous; it would only cause stomach cramps. However, Miss Ashe had already been living in fear for two days in the forest, and her body was extremely weak. That's why she ultimately lost her life because of this small fruit.

After sorting through her thoughts, Annie realized that she had not only transmigrated, but had also arrived in a world of swords and magic…
