The Story of The Monster Tamer

You were just a normal everyday 28-year-old Joe Schmoe, working your way through life, you had this big high-rise job on the 48th floor of a big building. You had just recently gotten a promotion too! But of course, like any normal Isekai story, it begins with your end… How? Well, you can’t quite remember… Fell into a manhole? Ran over by a car? Attacked by a wild animal? You seriously can’t recall… No matter…

You awoke suddenly, standing upright within an infinite white void, with but one thing there besides yourself. A wooden chair. Looks like Spruce. You look around, obviously confused, but you really don’t see anything other than the one chair. You stand there, thinking for a moment before deciding “Eh, why not?”, going over, and sitting in the chair. However, the moment you blink, there’s suddenly a big table in front of you!

It allows you to communicate in and understand any language, including body language, signed language, or even Urla’katar, the native language of us godly beings.” Godly? So this ball of light is like an Angel? Although, that would make sense… “Once in, you can contact me in your dreams, if you light a twig of florgwen in your sleeping area before slumber; or, as your plane’s name for it, lavender. You are within your allowance to ask me one question before I send you on your way. You may now speak.” May now speak? You, well, open your mouth, much to your surprise, and think for a moment. That is a lot of information to take in after all… However, after thinking for a while, you look up at Ora and ask your one and only question.
