"Sigh... another day done." The clock pointed to the early hours of the morning. Guest let out a long sigh as she untied the apron of her worn-out work uniform. Her legs were stiff from standing all day. But she couldn't afford to rest just because she was tired. There was rent to pay, groceries to buy, and bills due next month. Having grown up in a struggling household, money was always tight for Guest. While her friends went to cafes after school or went shopping for new clothes, she usually walked home alone.

When she opened them, she was in a forest. Her clothes... had changed into old, shabby rags. Then, she saw a familiar face and heard a voice. She fainted on the spot. When she woke up again...
