- Flashback -

As soon as the door opened and I entered through with excitement, there was an arrow aimed right at me from above. I wasn't on guard as I gazed around the house. Even though it looked like a normal house you would find on the outside, I could tell the interior design was expensive even with my 10-year-old brain.

The stairs would appear by themselves on top of bookshelves that had a variety of subjects. And the walls were filled with wallpaper, which seemed to be normal, but as my new mother touched the design in a peculiar way, the house activated like an electronic device and even welcomed me with an Australian accent.

" I heard you came from Australia, so I thought you'd feel right at home. "

I was a kid back then so I wasn't scared, but instead, I was feeling so much gratitude. A basket suddenly appeared in front of me, floating. I got hold of the basket and turned around to look back at my parents, confused. They told me to open it, and as soon as I did, there was a whole pack of the latest videogames at the time! This would have been a dream come true for a friend I had in the orphanage. But then -

" Jordan, I know you really would like to share this with your friends back at the orphanage and all you could think about is how amazing this is. But you need to keep it secret, Ok? "

" Mrs. Whitlock? - I mean - should I call you Mom? "

" Awe... Such a sweet gentleman you are! Please do! "

" Oh.. Mom? "

Then my dad came out from his hiding with a cake in his hand.

" Welcome to your new home! Don't be shy! Come right in! "

His face seemed friendly and the cake seemed delicious, but there was a feeling in my gut that told me that we're not the only one in this big house. Suddenly, an arrow flew towards my new dad, and by instinct, I quickly pushed him away and the arrow landed on the floor.

I almost cried in shock, because my new dad was about to die, right in front of me - just like how I lost my aunt - her body burning right in front of me. My new dad seemed to have read my mind (soon enough I figured out that he could) and he hugged me and started petting me like a dog. At first, I thought it was rude to do that, but the comfort was so touching and I was immediately calmed down.

" Sorry about that Dad! Who's the pale goblin? "

The thin yet cute voice reveals to be a chubby little girl holding an actual bow with her one hand and throwing some of her arrows on the ground, I figured that she can't carry all of them, but the shining tip of her arrows was so scary that it resembles the needle from a doctor.

I'm nothing close to a goblin except from the part that I've been injured a lot a few years ago. My hand was burnt, lags were bruised a lot, my head had a wound that was caused by a sharp object. I had never known what caused it, so I never wanted to be near anything that could be used as a weapon.

A boy came with a katana in his hand and was wearing the normal clothes except that he had a special belt that would hold the sword with. He looked down at me and showed a face of concern.

" That's the new kid? He acts good enough, but really, is he even going to survive living here for a few days without having to bump into something bad? "

I quickly answered with a coarse voice and a feeling that held me hard to the ground.

" Hey! I can survive anything! I've already survived from fire accidents and lost all my family with it so don't underestimate me! "

Then I started to cry from the memory of that horrible day. That one day brought everything I loved and turned it into ash.

" C'mon don't be such a cry baby! "

He came over and pointed his covered katana at me, I was afraid but I still kept my ground and raised my hand and stretched them as wide as I could.

" You lose something right? That just means that there's something even better waiting for you later, now! Get stiff! "

I automatically somehow did as he said and my body became as hard as stone as I still had fear running through my veins as the sheath had touched below my chin, and raised it like an object.

" Now look me in the eyes and tell me, would your parents want you to cry all day for them? Would they want you to always sulk around because they died? Would they want to see you giving up on having any fun just because they aren't in the picture? "

"... No... "

" Then make them proud and tell me, will you succeed to impress the family and rest in peace? Will you accept that they died and they're now waiting for you? Would you try your best to learn everything you can and show this world who's the best? "

" ...Yeah... "

How did he know about my cancer!? And where would he know about the loss of your own family? But then again, his speech was so emotional, my eyes started to water and my hands started to weaken. He smiled while looking into my eyes as he talked like he's the president of America.

" I want you louder! Will you do everything I just said now!? "

" Yeah! "

" I want it louder! "

So I screamed like I just turned on Super Saiyan and another arrow flew right at me. I barely got a hold of it and threw it away. And the little girl went over to me and gave me a big slap on the leg that made me almost laugh out loud.

But then I remembered the sheath and slowly made it lower from my chin to the floor as I raised my hand to give her a hug in return for the arrows to stop. That's where her baby behaviour kicked in and immediately ran at me with the bow on the ground and that's where I finally got welcomed into the house with my new siblings.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

It soon became night time and we went over to the 2nd floor of our house in which the roof was made up of glass but no one could notice that from the outside because of a spell that would make any structure only temporarily available. As we say around a circular table that was so short that we had to sit on the floor. Roy sat on his heels (which I don't see how it isn't painful for him considering that I sprained my ankle trying to sit the same way), Aikido just kneeled down in a way which is almost like sitting on the heels but technically isn't, my mom sat in a sideway, and my dad didn't sit at all.

He raised his one hand and a creature came towards him, it looked like a bird with 3 tails and too many feathers for a normal bird. He called the bird by the name, FEATHER, and the bird flew around him and finally sat on him. He then sat in a yoga pose and started talking.

" Alright Jordan, prepare to handle the true story of our lives. "

That feeling came again, the one that was from the picnic. I cringed in fear as they all raised their hand over to the table and glowing circles suddenly appeared under their hands, and they had a complete makeover after that.

My dad turned from an old blonde nerd with a lab coat and huge glasses with muttonchops to looking like a blonde handsome prince with the looks unmatched with anyone at all. While my mother's dark skin didn't change but the hair totally did, turning her into a redheaded elf-like human (I'm saying like brown to red not entirely).

But Aikido turned less attractive, still enough to call beautiful though, with a feminine knight armour and her enchanted bow and arrows. And there was Roy, with futuristic clothing and neon green highlights at the tip of his dark blue hair. They tried to assure me that they're still the same people I've seen as a family, I took a breath as I accepted the fact that they had some kind of secret lives after all.

" Jordan, the people you've always known never changed a thing in their lives that you haven't known about. And we also know that you've seen a lot of anime too. "

My mom looked at me after saying this, giving me a threatening stare that would almost drive me nuts. My bad. But Animes are still too good to ignore! Then she spoke up again in a more calm manner.

" Well, it's a good thing that you have because now we can explain this to you a lot more easily. Basically, we're all Isekai characters. "

" Wait, say what!? "

Roy showed me his katana, in which he turned it to show its true form to be an OP looking sword with many neon green lines covering the black metal it's made up of.

" This is my real weapon. I can't believe the humans here couldn't see through the disguise. Pretty top-notch if you ask me. "

I couldn't stop staring at Aikido every now and then, because her short grey hair and her beautiful dark eyes have turned into a long braid of cyan highlights on her brown hair with her eyes being a glowing turquoise colour. They talked the stories for hours of their entire lifetimes back then by showing off their memories and stuff like that, and I didn't seem to be tired at all.

But soon enough, I had to go to bed, and my last day now awaits...
