Luke, who should have been dead slowly opened his eyes. He had this weird feeling that he'd been sleeping for a very long time and after sleeping so peacefully for so long, his body felt light, loose and completely relaxed. “Ah, look who decided to finally wake up, did you have sweet dreams sleepy head?” sounded a feminine voice and Luke raised his head to view her. This was when he realised that a group of people sitting in parallel seats and facing each other were looking for me, three on one side and two on the other. On one side were two men with professional bodybuilder physiques and on the other side was a figure wearing a leather cloak and a half mask, next to that figure was a beautiful lady with curly hair and next to her was another beautiful lady wearing a long dress. What Luke found strange was that these people were speaking in a language he didn't know but could actually understand it. “Slave, remain kneeling.” said the cloaked figure when Luke tried to stand up. Luke now knew that the cloaked figure was actually a man. Luke ignored the cloaked man's warning and that's when it happened. “AGHHHH!!!” Luke felt electricity coursing through his entire body, giving him excruciating pain and leaving him completely paralysed. Before he passed out, he touched his neck but what he touched was something cold. ‘It's a shackle…’ … When Luke woke up again, he was still inside whatever moving container he was in. This time though, he opted for silence, secretly watching his captors who were also silent. One of the ladies couldn't help it anymore and spoke up. “Handsome, what's your name and what were you doing in Wildland stark naked?” ‘Wildland? Stark naked? Is she talking about the woods? But that can't be, I'm pretty sure this language doesn't exist on Earth.’ thought Luke in confusion. When he looked at himself, he really was naked and quite hairy too. ‘Since when was I this hairy?’ “Handsome, I'm talking to you. What were you doing in the Wildland alone, don't you know that that's the territory of Fantasy Magic Beasts? I admit that you have a well refined body but in front of Fantasy Magic Beasts, that's nothing. I'm Cynthia by the way.” “I'm Luke…and I don't know how I got to the Wildland or whatever. The last thing I remember was falling unconscious in a cave with a bloodied bo…dy…” Only now did Luke realise that all the wounds he'd incurred had disappeared and they didn't even leave scars behind. ‘Wait a minute, she said Magic Beasts. Does this mean I was transported to another world or did I transmigrate there and possess someone's body…the latter is unlikely because my eagle tattoo is still here so it's the former.’ inwardly analysed Luke. Luke had watched anime from time to time including Lord Of Mysteries, Stein Gate, etc so he wasn't foreign to the concepts of otherworldly travel. “Mhm, so your name is Luke, that's a nice name. And what's your last name, Luke?” Cynthia asked. Luke was about to answer when his ears percked up and he looked to his right where the two men were seated. “Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached Nolan City!” said an old voice from outside as the container stopped moving and everyone got off. Luke was dragged out by the chains connected to his shackle and only now did he realise that he was actually inside a carriage. Not far from him was the entrance to the so called Nolan City. Looking at this place, for a moment, Luke actually thought he was in medieval Europe but more cleaner and totally unpolluted. Nolan City was protected by very tall walls, about one hundred meters high. “Let's go,” said one of the muscular men and Luke was dragged into the city. … Walking on the clean streets of Nolan City, Luke came across many things that he was shocked existed like carriages that moved without being pulled by horses, humans with animal traits like animal ears or other animalistic body parts, this type of humans is called Demi-Humans. He also saw creatures like four eyed birds, six legg
