Who is

Takeshi

Hi, I’m Takeshi.
Before finding myself in this world or whatever it is, I was a hikikomori. I didn’t have a very active social life, but I had a life.
At least, I think so.
I was a streamer, a 23-year-old guy who would sleep at his desk, still living in his parents’ house.
I should never mention that in a job interview…
Definitely not.
I didn’t have many friends, but I had one; a special one. Her name was Ryoko, and—yes, I miss her. Then, I also lost my parents, but I don’t want to think about it—at least not now. My whole life has been a weird ride. Something I can’t explain has been part of me for as long as I can remember. No one has ever talked to me about it; no one has ever told me what it was.
Maybe I didn't care.
But now I am in this new body, and nothing matters anymore. I’ve probably died at some point—on Earth—I think…
…Anyway, I’m a boy now, with flashy white hair and… there’s something odd going on with my body, with my heart. I still can't explain how and when, but this is my new form, my new life, my new…
HUD.
…HUD? Yes, an interface appears from time to time, just like in those isekai stories—Ryoko knows what I’m talking about…
Knew.
Maybe, I’m here for a reason—or it’s just some terrible mistake. I don’t know. But, in this fantasy madness, I found new… teammates. Maybe a family—probably a temporary one.
Yes, definitely.
But I care about them.
And whatever is going on in this world they call “Medotea”, I will fight to survive. For me and my party: my new friends.
Oh! Don’t tell anyone about this! Especially don’t tell Nori, she’s dying to know more about me.

Who is

Kirya

Kirya, a girl with a mysterious past. There’s something in her that throws me and I can’t understand why. But one thing is for sure: there is no gorak who doesn’t fear her.

Who are

Nori, Lilyp and Dorin

Nori: an unstoppable woman–especially when she wants to investigate my past. I’ve got to admit: she intimidates me.
I don’t know her relationship with Kirya, but she always hovers around her like a guardian of sorts.
Lilyp: an indomitable spirit flows through this minute woman’s tiny body. Lilyp is as cautious as she’s clever, qualities only matched by her unquenchable appetite.
She and Nori are close friends… no, wait… let’s say there are moments when they seem to get along–more or less.
Dorin: I’m unsure about what kind of strength this dwarf possesses, but I think a grain of madness is the spark driving him without brakes. He is Dorin, a friendly guy who can respond very vigorously if he doesn’t like something. I must say I admire him–especially for his courage.
He seems to be from the same city as Kirya…

This story is not only about a journey to another world, but an inner journey as well. Maybe a long one. A worthy one? Only time will tell.
I am Isekai Tempo, travelling through this madness, hoping to find more passengers along the way.
