-Swiiiiiiiiiiish…
The wind howled like a banshee with a bad sound card. My body was the crashing file download nobody asked for, plumting straight toward the ground.
My lungs locked up. A strangled scream fought its way out, stuffed with all the lonely angst of a girl who really didn't want to die twice in the sa week.
Blue sky sared into gray stone—then into a gaping chasm yawning like an unpaid internship.
"The hell?!" I managed before—
-SHRRRRRRP-!
-DHAAM!
Impact.
If you could call "being faceplanted into a bed of roots sharper than corporate gossip" soft, then yes. I landed on sothing "soft."
"Argh…"
Though pain now cracked across my ribs. Vision blurred. Around was the new world that sounded like a 10-year-old mixer that was repaired thirty tis over the years: screeches everywhere, growls, the hiss of blades cutting wind.
I was alive, but barely.
'Welco to the new world, population: and everything trying to kill .'
I had fallen into a forest this ti, a forest that most certainly wasn't as friendly as it may have looked from above.
'To make things worse, I was in the middle of nowhere right now.'
And the worst part of it all? There was a blue, holographic, translucent screen hovering right before my eyes.
[World integration will now begin.]

There weren't any VRMMOs in my previous world, but there most certainly were many AR gas.
People were crazy about them, and I was no exception.
"But this isn't just augnted reality. There really is a blue holographic screen before !" I was so excited, I thought I had just seen a fun mukbang video.
Perhaps this was it, the eternal escape that I had always wished for~.
"Okay, Aria," I grinned like an idiot, "this is happening. This is really happening."
[Ding!]
When that gate appeared before , I didn't think my life would turn into an isekai. But hey~! Things happen for a reason, right~?
Perhaps if not a corporate promotion, there was an eternal protagonist suffering and adventures written in my destiny.

"Hmm… a lot to process here."
The status window was before , and I guess this is the sa as having a ga panel? But is this status window from this world or the skill those three face being… the administrator gave ?
[Ding!]
[Skill: Assistance System (EX) has detected the owner's question.]
[A (P:100,000C) has been shared with the owner.]
[Skill: Assistance System (EX) is triggered for the first ti. There will be no charges collected.]
As I watched the three (pink) holographic windows pop up before , ones that were pretty unique from the blue ones that had appeared previously, I knew sothing different had happened this ti.
But before I could process anything further, a gust of wind started blowing right where I was standing.
-Oooooooooooooooong!
A bright light with the sa pink color as the one the screens had appeared, its radiance so great I'm sure it attracted a few beasts around .
Then, out of the thin air, pages ford, words appeared on these pages, then they combined, and with a blank, hard-bound, black cover that had the words 'World guide' inscribed on it in gold, the book fell to the ground, surprising and astonishing to no end.
"I see…"
This phenonon just now gave more answers than I had asked questions of. But putting that aside…
"Holy shit, that just happened." A book was ford out of the blue, like out of thin air! It actually happened!
'Was that so kind of magic? Damn, it was so amazing, wow!'
Alright, I know this seems immature for soone with my age and experience, but damn man. This was really happening!
"So I guess we really are doing this."
For real this ti.
A new world, new powers, new things, new dangers, and new challenges.
'The life of a protagonist might not be all that easy, though.'
With great power cos great responsibility.
A great person had said those famous words, and it made more than just one superhero.
'I didn't want any of this, but hey, maybe I can get a much better life here doing sothing normal for once.'
Cloud architects weren't that common in that world, so if I could combine the knowledge I had with this WRONG profession they gave , I might just find the life of comfort I had longed for.
"If this world is anything like those MMO gas, then I might really-."
I was lost in my fantasy when the pink window from before appeared before once again.

"Okay…?"
A quest out of the blue wasn't a good thing, now was it?
Its sudden appearance confused for a mont, but then sothing that made a lot of sense happened.
-Shrrr. Shrrrr. Shrrrrrrr!
Slow, fast, faster. Sothing approached from behind, and it was at this mont that I realised once again that I was in the middle of a damn forest.
-Shrrr!
"Fucking hell!"
I really didn't want to know what the fuck was coming this way. I just picked up the book and made a run for my life, not in the exact opposite direction, but in a direction to my side.
Whatever was coming this way, there were higher chances that sothing else was coming from the exact opposite side as well.
Perhaps that thing was trying to corner , and there was another one hiding on the other side.
The possibilities were endless… and I knew I was in danger at this mont.
'I take my words back!'
It did not take long for the thing that was behind , actually, to catch up to when it realised I had detected its presence.
Right now, chasing after was a freaking wolf twice my height! And I'm pretty tall, so this isn't sothing normal!
'Monsters!'
There were monsters in this world. And from what I read in that status window, I don't have a single offensive skill!
"Of course it's wolves," I wheezed between gasps. "It's always wolves!"
If it wasn't for that damn system skill, I would still have had so ti to think things through!
But no! It had to cause a commotion and invite the monsters!
"Awooooo!"
Wolves hunt in a group; that much was common knowledge.
Common knowledge that even a node-nerd like knew!
-Thum! Thum! Thum!
My clothes were still in tatters from falling in that hell, there were no shoes beneath my feet, and I'm sure I didn't gain any physical powers from those administrators since I already feel dead exhausted! I'm hungry as well!
'Damn it, I should've had my breakfast in the morning!'
But who would have thought I would get fucked over by my bosses, rage quit, almost get killed by a PINK truck, and then get sucked in by a white freaking door!
'Getting isekaied wasn't in today's to-do list!'
Getting these skills and powers, this system skill, falling from hell to a white room, to this damned forest wasn't in today's schedule either!
'But here we are!'
-Thurrrrrrrr…!
Being chased by not one, not two, but thirty SUV-sized wolves!
My legs are almost dead.
I'm pretty sure these wolves aren't chasing , but no fucking way I'm going to stop!
'I'm going to die.'
This ti, surely!
"Awooooooooooo!"
The wolves howled behind , closing in, their glowing eyes like headlights in the dark.
I wasn't a hero. I wasn't a warrior. Hell, I wasn't even an adventurer yet!
I was just a nerd with a system skill, bad cardio, and worse luck.
'And right now?'
I was about to be thirty wolves' breakfast special: Dogfood à la Aria!
