Endless Memoir || Original Light Novel

Prologue

"Ugh..."

I opened my eyes, letting out a groan. The light pouring in through the windows burns my eyes.

When my eyes got used to the light, I surveyed my surroundings.

"... Where... Am I?"

I couldn't help asking that to myself, muttering out loud.

Wherever I placed my eyes, things that cannot be present in the modern day society can be seen. I even thought that I was just hallucinating.

However, no matter how I rubbed my tired eyes, the scenery didn't change. Let's describe what I am seeing and judge it calmly.

First, the main attraction was the rectangular wooden table growing from the floor. Yes. It was growing from the floor.

Inspecting carefully, the room itself looks like it was made from a single piece of wood molded into a house.

"......"

No matter how I interpret it, this house is clearly a literal "Tree House".

To compliment it, flowers are growing on the walls giving off a faint glow. I doubt if such types of fauna can be found anywhere in the world.

Above the small wooden shelf beside the window was a small white sphere, floating while giving off bright particles of light.

Vines were swirling around the legs of all 4 wooden chairs around the table giving it an exotic feel.

"... Ouch..."

When I tried getting up, a sudden pang of pain made me flinch.

I touched my head only to notice that it was bandaged with a rough textured cloth. I can't really tell if what sort of material the bandage was from as I neither can see it nor remember the material's texture.

Carefully, I got up and sat on the place where I was lying down earlier.

It seems that I was laid down on a bed.

I checked the bed. It was made from wood of course. A thick piece of leather was covering it, acting as cushion. A wide patchwork of colorful cloths and leather was acting as a blanket.

Despite the many shocking revelations that I am seeing, my mind stayed calm.

Based on the current standings, it seems that I am in a place far away from civilization as the technology was poor.

Or rather, I doubt this place is anywhere in earth. If the ancient city of Atlantis was discovered, I can imagine it to be just as astounding.

However as I felt pain, real pain, earlier, this means that this is not a dream.

I checked my body and noticed that I was still wearing my school's uniform, albeit without the coat and the inner shirt.

Instead, a white bandage of the similar texture as to that on my head was wrapped on my chest. There was no particular pain coming from my chest though.

Looking around carefully, my coat and shirt were hanging near the window, being swayed by the cool and fresh morning air.

Without wasting a moment, I stood up and immediately wore the white inner-shirt. As it will probably be a bit hot if I also wore the coat, I stopped.

I also wore my shoes that are lying quietly at the foot of the bed. Above the bed, near the shoes, my reading glasses were placed carefully.

I immediately checked it, wiped the glass clean, and wore it promptly.
