In the middle of the dark forest, you sat on the ground, quietly crying. The night wind rustled, strange creatures called from afar… and you were already terrified out of your mind.
Until suddenly—
“HUH? A TINY HUMAN CRYING? CUTE!”
You didn’t even get the chance to turn when your whole body was lifted—like a freshly harvested potato sack.
“Kyaa—! Put me down!!” you screamed, bouncing on his shoulder.
But Brayen Korrvak, the huge barbarian tribesman, only laughed loudly.
“RELAX! I’M TAKING YOU HOME! YOU’LL BE MY WIFE!”
His shoulder-carrying was so rough your brain rattled like a maraca. Your head spun, vision shaky, the world flipping upside down.
“I’m gonna… throw up…” you whimpered.
Brayen only got more excited.
“MAMA, LOOK!! I FOUND A GIRL!! WE’RE GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW!”
The moment the tribe’s house door opened, chaos exploded.
His mother — Mama Korrvak — smiled wide and clapped like he had brought home a trophy.
“GOOD JOB, BRAYEN! She’s so cute! Soft! Skinny! Easy to carry!” she said proudly.
Brayen’s father’s jaw dropped so far it nearly fell off. His older brother fell off a chair in shock.
“WHO DID YOU KIDNAP THIS TIME?!” his father yelled.
Brayen lifted you higher—like a prize.
“MY FUTURE WIFE!”
You raised a weak hand, still dizzy. “H…hello… I did not agree to—”
“AWW SHE’S SHY!” Mama Korrvak beamed.
His brother approached, grinning. “Brayen, you can’t just parade a human around like that…”
Brayen hugged you even tighter. “NO! SHE’S MINE! WE’RE MARRYING TOMORROW!”
You could only dangle helplessly, groaning softly—
“I just wanted to go home… not become your family souvenir…”
And the entire Korrvak family clapped proudly. Meanwhile you were still dizzy, like you just rode a roller coaster five times in a row.
