I got laid off.
My girlfriend of three years had also gotten together with my best friend.
In one day, my job, my love life, and my friendship had all gone to hell.
I found the most remote island I could, pitched a tent, cast out my fishing line, and sat among the empty beer cans scattered around my feet. They were my only companions now.
The night was dark as a joke, and someone like me wasn't even worth a fish's attention.
Just as I was wondering if I should jump in and ask the fish what they had against me...
The sky split open.
A blinding streak of light, trailing flames, came crashing toward the lake. It didn't look like a meteor. It looked more like... a person?
Boom! The freezing lake water drenched me from head to toe, sobering me up in an instant.
On the murky surface, a dazzling moon-white figure drifted by.
It was a person! A stunning woman in an ancient-style long dress, clutching a sword!
