Chapter One: Hidden Skills

I opened my eyes slowly, the bright sun hurting them as I tried. Finally, I forced them open and was met by an entirely unexpected sight as I squinted. Right in front of me stood one of, no, the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. She was leant far enough forward that I could see right down the front of her low-cut top. I tried to pull my eyes away, but it was as if that part of her body possessed its own field of gravity. Her arm was on my shoulder and she gently shook me.

"Mwmwm mwmwm mwmwmw mwmwwmw." She called out.

I couldn't make out a word that she was saying as she tried to communicate with me. I could just see an expression of mild written panic across her face. As the rest of my senses started to come back to me, I noticed that my ears were ringing loudly.

"Are you okay? Can you move? I partially healed you and the creature is dazed, but you need to act quickly. I can't defeat it on my own!" I could now make out what the beautiful woman was saying.

I tried to move, but pain shot through my body, my head feeling like it was being pulled down by a heavy weight.

"Easy there, stand up slowly." She suggested, as she offered me her hand.

I took the offered hand I tried to stand once again with her help, trying to do my best to take my eyes of the curves of her beautiful body as I did so. This time I was able to stand with her help. The pain was seemingly retreating from my body and my mind was beginning to clear. I looked at the woman stood in front of me, she was wearing odd clothes, as in she seemed to not be wearing enough for our current situation. She had on what looked to be a black bikini top and tight hot pants covering her lower half, with a velvety looking cape slung over her back. She had shoulder length jet black hair, her skin looked as pale as fresh snow and almost translucent. In her spare hand she held a long staff with a crystal on the top. I was almost sent into a trance as I gazed at her.

"Ahum." She coughed as she finished pulling me up. "Are you okay to stand?" She asked now blushing a little.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine thank you." I belatedly drew my eyes away.

"Good. We don't have long until it wears off. I'm sorry to drop you in at the deep end like this when you've only just arrived, but we don't have time to do it any other way."

"Until what wears off?" I asked still confused about the whole situation.

"Until the daze effect wears off him." She answered me, titling her head in the direction of something lying on the floor.

My line of sight followed where she pointed to the thing that was the floor. A groaning sound came from it as it slowly started to get to its feet. The creature or thing looked just like a giant pig, but unlike a pig it was starting to stand up on its hind legs. The other big give away that this was no pig was the rows of sharp teeth that its mouth contained. It was scary looking even from this distance.

"What is that thing?" I yelped.

"It's an Ogre."

"Right makes sense." I thought to myself.

"Look we don't have. Time you're just going to have to fight it before the effect wears off."

"Fight it. That thing! Me?! What with?"

"Your sword." She pointed to my side.

I looked where she pointed and found a blade on my hip.

"There's no time to explain. You're just going to have to attack it. Don't worry about what to do, just swing at it your hardest before daze wears off and I'll buff you. It's a weak monster so a buffed strike even from a beginner like you should be enough to kill it."
