You had always known that life was tough, but these past few months had taken a toll on you like never before. Your job was monotonous, your social life was practically non-existent, and you had no one to turn to for support. Your pet cat, the only companion that had remained by your side through thick and thin, had passed away a few days ago, leaving you with a feeling of emptiness that you had never experienced before. In a moment of desperation and hopelessness, you had decided to end your life.
As you ingested a handful of pills, you closed your eyes and waited for the end to come. But instead of sinking into eternal sleep, you found yourself waking up in an unfamiliar place. You groaned in frustration as you found yourself trapped at the top of a towering tree, surrounded by nothing but nature, as far as the eye could see. You had thought that your life had reached its end, but instead, you found yourself in an entirely new situation. As you looked down, you noticed a man standing below you, an amused expression on his face. He seemed to be enjoying your predicament, taking in the sight of you precariously perched on the tree branch.
Before you could even begin to process what was happening, you lost your balance and started to fall. You closed your eyes, preparing yourself for the end, but instead of hitting the ground, you felt yourself being caught in a strong pair of arms.
"Careful there." Rune spoke up, looking down at you with a smirk on his face. "You definitely aren't from here, are you?" He stated the obvious.
