Chapter 1: A New Start
"Yo! Good morning, Dante!" A man at my job greeted.
"Mr. Dante it's a pleasure to see you this morning!" A woman greeted.
"Hey there, boss man!" Another greeted.
I greeted my employees and walked to my office. I sighed softly and sat back in my chair. I looked at my computer and began to work.
My life is as normal as any other CEO. I have loads of money, I got out frequently with a few of my friends, and I normally have women lining up to get with me, but I don't find any of them attractive. It's not that they aren't beautiful, it's just I don't find excitement anymore. I needed new excitement in my life.
As I worked, I noticed a coworker of mine walk into my office. I looked at her and sat back in my chair. "What can I do for you, Erika?"
Erika looked at me and smiled then walked to my desk then set down her reports. "I've done my work for the day, Mr. Dante."
I looked at Erika and gave her a soft smile. "Good job. You can have the rest of the day off."
Erika blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear softly. She looked down and smiled. "I was thinking...maybe we could hang out together today?"
I sighed softly and set down the reports then looked at Erika and smiled. "I would Erika, but today I'm just taking it easy and going home after work today. Maybe in the future we will go out again."
Erika looked at me and smiled. She nodded. "I'll be looking forward to it!"
I watched Erika leave the office and went back to reading the reports. I knew Erika liked me, but as I've said before it's all the same. I desperately needed something different in my life. Something more exciting than going out to movies or dinner dates.

As I got off work, I drove home and yawned. I was extremely tired and ready to hit the hay. I made it home and got out of my car and walked to my house and unlocked the door to get in. I walked to the kitchen to make myself something quick to eat. I put on some music and began to cook.
This was the process for my 23 year old self and this was an everyday thing. As I cooked I heard my doorbell ring and paused my cooking to check the door. I opened the door and looked down to see a young girl in front of my door.
She was a little girl who could've been no older than eight years old. She had long white hair with pink edges, pink eyes, and wore a white dress. She held a letter in her hand then held out out to me.
I took the letter and opened it. I read the letter. It had a bunch of grammatical errors, but I didn't expect much from an eight year old. It was a letter telling how she was abandoned and didn't know where to go. From how dirty her dress was, I figured she had been going from door to door wanting to find a home.
I stood up and sighed softly. I stepped aside and let her in. Her eyes widened with happiness and she hurried inside happily. I watched her then looked at the letter. I closed the door and walked back to the kitchen and she followed me.
"Atalia. Doesn't sound like your usual name you'd hear around. Do you know where you were born?" I asked.
She shook her head and looked up at me. "I don't know where I am from."
I nodded and looked at the back of the letter then noticed a language I couldn't understand. I set the letter down and continued to cook. "Are you hungry? I was just making something for myself, but I can make a little extra."
She nodded and her stomach growled. I smiled and continued to cook. I never thought about having a child of my own, but I have helped a few women take care of their children so I was quite good with children. I just needed to know what she liked.
"Anything you're allergic to?" I asked.
She shook her head no. "I don't have allergies!"
I chuckled and looked down at Atalia. "No, I mean is there anything that will cause you to get sick if you eat it."
She tilted her head and thought about it. "I dunno. I haven't eaten in a very very long time! I can eat an entire dragon!"
I nodded and focused on cooking. "Well I'll be sure to make you something nice."
As I continued to cook, I allowed Atalia to explore the house to get herself accustomed to it. Once I finished cooking, I called her to the dining room and she hurried over to me. I picked her up and sat her in a seat.
She looked at the food in awe and her eyes sparkled. I sat next to her and watched her eat and smiled. I began to eat my portion. As we ate, I noticed my lights had cut off. Atalia looked up with the spoon in her mouth. I stood up and heard rumbling then looked up.
The roof of my house was ripped off and I noticed a rift above us then my eyes widened. Atalia held my sleeve and began to get sucked into the void. I held her and grunted as the rift began to drag me into the void with Atalia. I grunted then yelled as the rift had sucked me and Atalia inside then the rift closed.
——————
A rift opened in the sky and I yelled as I began to fall from the sky. I held onto Atalia tightly and braced myself for impact onto the ground. Atalia held onto me and closed her eyes then a protective barrier protected us from the fall. I opened my eyes and noticed the barrier then stood up with Atalia in my arms.
"What the hell..? Where are we?" I asked as I noticed we were seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
Atalia looked around and held onto me tightly. "I'm sorry if my hand writing was bad...But the message on the back was important."
"What did it say?" I asked.
"It said anyone who took me in...would fulfill their purpose of taking care of me and finding me a mommy...but I don't want only one mommy!" Atalia said.
"What?" I said in shock and looked at Atalia. "You want me to find you a mom? I could've done that on Earth. Where are we anyway?"
"In my home world." Atalia said. "Isoria."
"Isoria." I said and looked around then noticed the platform underneath us shine then shattered.
I grunted then began to fall again. The sky began to go from black to blue then I noticed we were about to crash onto a building. I grunted heavily and got the wind knocked out of me as we had crashed into a random house.
Someone heard the crash and ran to where we were. "What the heck?! Who's there?!"
I slowly got up and groaned softly. I held my head and noticed a woman at the top of the stairs. I stared at her and a blush ran across my face as I gazed at the impossible beauty of the woman.
She had a curvaceous build with large breasts and a peach skin complexion with gray eyes. She had blonde hair tied in a single bun and fox ears with white fluff inside. She wore a blue kimono with flower designs and her tail swayed from side to side.
The woman asked no questions and summoned her katana then rushed toward me. "You men like to break into a woman's house huh?! This is why you're at the bottom you scum!"
I grunted and dodged her attack. She pivoted into a kick and it connected, blowing me into a wall. I groaned and coughed a bit.
"Daddy!" Atalia said worriedly.
"Daddy..?" The woman asked and glared. "This pervert has a child..?! I'll save her from your grasp, scum! You'll learn to never mess with a Valkyrie!"
I got up and grunted then dodged her next slash and watched how easily her blade cut the wall. I ran off and held Atalia tightly then ran out of the house. The woman chased me and contacted her team.
"Valkyrie Komine reporting! I am chasing a villainous kidnapper down Sakanami and I need back up!" The woman yelled as she chased after me.
I didn't dare to turn back as I ran from the kill happy woman. Atalia noticed her and pointed, warning me of cutting waves heading toward me. I looked back and grunted then barely managed to dodge the cutting waves. I groaned as I was struck on my back from a beam. I crashed into a store and fell to the ground.
Atalia looked at me worriedly and shook my body. "Daddy! Get up, Daddy!"
I grunted softly and coughed a bit of blood then rolled into my back then propped myself on my elbows and grunted when I noticed a gun aimed at my head. The woman stomped on my chest and kept her aim on me.
She was also a beautiful woman, but she was a bit shorter than Komine. She had fair skin, long yellow hair tied in two ponytails, yellow eyes, and a voluptuous body with medium breasts. She wore a strapless corset, black sheer to waist pantyhose, a black and gold collar, thigh high boots, a black coat with golden designs, and a black beret hat. She also wore an eye patch on her right eye.
"Only those foolish enough would commit such an act like kidnapping children. Now you will face divine punishment. You should be honored to have your life taken by a Valkyrie of my caliber." The woman said.
"Hold on! I didn't kidnap anyone! I literally don't know how I got here! You have to believe me!" I said.
"No! Men like you disgust me...now you will die." The woman said cocked her gun then prepared to press the trigger.
"Stand down, Grace." A third woman said and walked forward.
"C-Commander! I can't stand down! This man is obviously guilty!" Grace said.
I looked at the third woman and gulped. I could feel her staring right into my soul.
She was a tall woman with a slender yet curvy body and a medium bust. Her eyes shined a blood red and burned into my spirit. Her skin was pale and her hair was short and white. She had on earrings on her left ear and wore a few rings. She had on a white button up shirt, a black tie, black slacks and shoes with a black ornate coat over her shirt.
The woman placed her hand on the handle of her sword and glared at me. "I don't know who you are, but taken by your expression...Hmph. Apprehend him and bring him and that child back to HQ. I want to interrogate him and see if he knows anything about Organization X."
"Yes ma'am!" Komine and Grace said.
Grace pulled me up and turned me around then put me in handcuffs. "You're so lucky, buddy. If I were the commander, I would've had you dead where you were.."
I grunted as she began to add more pressure to my wrists. She began to drag me back to their vehicle.
This was NOT what I had in mind when I wanted something new. My first day in this new world and already arrested by some women who call themselves Valkyries. I could hear Atalia crying out for me as they separated us. I wanted to break out and help her, but I was far too weak. All I could do was accepted reality and go with whatever was going on...
