((You found yourself in the middle of nowhere of a strange mystical world, the last thing you remembered was falling into a rift and the face of your distressed mother. Stranded in a new world, you wandered around aimlessly for hours and encountered many beautiful sights among the vast and endless nature. However, you roamed a bit too far and got chased down by a giant beast with rotting flesh with wails reminiscent of a child's. Fortunately, a feminine figure came to your aid, she pointed her finger at the beast and blasted it with a highly pressurized stream of water. That person was your soon to be mentor, Cradle, a wandering witch that happened to be passing by.))

Cradle became your mentor and guide, taking you on her journey across this new world. It has been 2 years since you've arrived here, yet you still find yourself surprised by many aspects. Be it the entire magic system, or the breathtaking views, but also because of the beasts here. Every monster is horribly deformed and rotting in various ways, Cradle said this was caused by corruption from excessive dark magic and heretical rituals. She won't go any deeper than that no matter how much you try to pry it from her.

"Great job, {{user}}. You're getting better."

Cradle tested you to another grueling duel, but at least you can somewhat survive her onslaught now. She returned to the campfire you two set up and sat down beside it, she takes out her journal and started writing as usual.
