Trading With Another World

Moving the World

Alexander Leonard saw the wall clock had shown at 22:10 while snorting in annoyance. In front of him, a man in his twenties showed off a smile while scratching the back of his head that was believed not to itch.

"Sorry Alex, there was a little business." John scratched the back of his head that was not itching

Sighing, Alexander Leonard exchanged shifts with John who was the new clerk at the store.

"Be careful John, don't fall asleep."

"Just calm down." John twirled around one instant coffee pot he took out of his bag.

Shaking his head, Alexander Leonard said goodbye to John and then headed to the parking lot to pick up his blind motorbike.

Ten minutes drive, Alexander arrived at the intersection leading to the path to his residence which was in the middle of the forest.

Accompanied by the darkness of the night, a dim light came out from the headlights of Alexander's butut motor.

There was the sound of insects and unknown animals that were mutually unpretentious due to being disturbed by the noise of the motor butut driven by Alexander.

Fortunately he had a flashlight that could be strapped over his head to illuminate the path in the middle of the forest to where he lived.

"Ouch!!!" A black cat suddenly flashed in front of Alexander's motorbike which made him fall and slip off his motorcycle.

"Oh shit, good thing I'm slow." He cried while looking around looking for the whereabouts of the cat earlier.

"Meow." Hearing the sound of a cat, Alex turned his head to a building in the form of a hut made of wood.

In front of the building, a black cat hobbled about to enter the wooden hut.

Alexander, who believed the injured cat was feeling sorry for him, set up his motorcycle which had fallen and walked over to the cat to take him to his house to treat the wound.

With a flashlight on his head, Alex walked to the wooden hut he always passed on his way home.

"Pussy." Alex called out to the black cat that had entered the hut.

"Meow." The cat replied from behind the door.

Feeling no danger, Alex pushed the wooden door that had been slightly opened.

Buk.. Buk.. Buk.. Just walking a step, Alex accidentally kicked an object due to the darkness of the night and at least a light source that only came from a flashlight on Alex's head.

Looking down, Alex was shocked and felt that something was amiss here.

"Isn't this a gun?" There were a total of three pistols surrounded by reddish black patches that had seeped into the wooden floor.

Quickly, Alex crouched down and picked up one of the pistols near his feet.

"Is there someone inside?" Alex is not hiding himself.

"Meow." It sounds like a black cat who entered the hut first.

Exhaling, Alex kicked the door open and ran towards the corner of the hut near the door.

Lifting the gun with both hands, Alex traced the entire room with both eyes.

"What's going on here?" Alex was surprised to see the back wall of the collapsed wooden hut showing the forest trees behind this hut.

Inside the room, there were four chairs scattered and something Alex believed to be a table.

"Where was the black cat?" Alex was curious about the existence of the black cat earlier after calming himself to see the peculiarity of the situation.

Feeling that the cat had escaped through the collapsed back wall, Alex rushed to pack two pistols still lying on the floor and put them in a bag. While the gun that he had been holding since then remained in his hands for unexpected situations.

Not far from the wooden hut, the black cat who had previously walked limping was now seen stepping as usual then jumping high and landing on a thick tree branch.

Beside him appeared a woman who was previously unseen.

"Are you sure?" Ask the woman to a young man who was previously a cat.

"As far as you go." The woman returned unseen, but the young man noticed the now transparent woman jumping from the tree and running towards Alexander who had just left on his blind motorbike.

"Bright. He doesn't fit his word. So do I have to report alone about the incident just now? Huhh." The young man sighed lazily.

The woman who was running after Alexander was surprised to see Alexander turn off the motor and the flashlight tied to his head.

"Was he on guard from seeing the hut?" The woman muttered slowly.

The woman saw Alexander open the bag and take one of the pistols from the inside, then walked pushing his motor slowly towards the house that Alexander occupied.

"What a cautious person. Maybe because what happened a year ago made him like this. I'm being pity." The woman sighed then jumped lightly up the tree and ahead of Alex to check on the condition of Alex's house.

The woman was afraid Alex met a gang of criminals he and his colleagues met in the wooden hut earlier, therefore he followed Alexander who was known as a poor orphan who now lives in a house in the middle of the forest.

"It looks like it's safe here, there's no trace of anyone getting in here in a few hours." The woman inspected Alexander's house for a short time because it was small.

In the dark, Alexander opened the door slowly with a standby pistol in his right hand. A moment after opening the door, he felt a gust of wind coming out from inside the house.

"What was that?" Alexander was puzzled for a moment and then closed the door and locked it.

After checking the state of the house and making sure there were no people, Alexander felt calm and decided to rest.

Alexander put a bag next to his pillow and he played a used music box that he had bought for 3 dollars.

By putting a headset on both his ears, Alexander closed his eyes while listening to the relaxing music he got from a classmate.

The hovering panel appeared just after Alexander closed his eyes.

'What is this?' Alex thought as he tried to get up and open his eyes but failed.

All of Alex's limbs did not obey his brain's commands as they should.

Tired of trying, Alex tried to calm himself by listening to his breathing and the faint sound of his heartbeat.

'What does this writing mean? Is there any life other than the blue planet? What is a magic planet anyway? From the name alone it is scary. How could an ordinary person like me live in such a world.'

To be safe, Alex chose the planet he was on, the blue planet.

Staring at the numbers that began to change second by second. Alex did not feel any significant changes happening.

F##k, is it because I chose my current world so that nothing happens - what?

Alexander chose the second world. [Magic planet].
