30 Deser (1/2)

As I open my eyes, I see a sky half filled with pure white clouds. It is a scene everyone expects to see when they look up. But natural beauty does not appear every time when I look up. It only appears in places enriched by nature. So, where exactly am I to be able to see it right now? (Straight up ripping off from A High Kick's Harlot Ream, are we? Good job, author! Good job!)

Now, because I'm not exactly Kais, instead of reacting to the fact that I'm on sand and start looking here and there, I would just get up and start finding the first thing I can meme about.

Okay, I can see cactus, and cactus, and cactus. Well, from what I know of India's topography, I'm probably in The Great Indian Desert right now. Not even going to consider being in some smaller, insignificant desert. I'm the protagonist after all, my experiences are supposed to be grand! … Oh well, this is comedy and the author is an asshole so might as well keep the possibility in mind.

Anyway, aside from cactuses, I can also see sand, and sand, and sand. Wow! This is like the best thing I've ever seen. Such impurity! I love it!

Moving on, in a distance of about 50 meters, I can see something we call a camel. You know, it's that giraffe that ate too much and then grew old and short and its back started having legendary curves that, by themselves, should be enough for it to be given the title of Ms. World.

Wow! I just said a hag should win Ms. World. I am so epic!

To get back on topic though, I can see a total of … 5 camels. And it seems like a group of people (their numbers I can't pinpoint from this distance) are pulling them with harnesses that are attached to their mouth.

Now, if I remember correctly (not saying I was the smartest kid in history or anything), but India, at this time, was under the rule of Britain, which they coined as 'British Raj'.

And 1856, huh?

Oh my holy mother, father, Yato, crap!

The author didn't just randomly choose any year to throw me back in. He actually thought about it, remembered all things he read in his history books, and chose the worst possible time for me to go back in. 1857 is when the Indian revolt began. More specifically, it was 10 May, 1857 that the mutiny that started the revolution this country got engulfed in for its next 90 years happened. If I were to try to get a good enough guess of what month we would currently be in here (judging from the sun's burning heat here), it's probably be somewhere around April to June. Meaning, that I and Danny were transported to, exactly, a year before that whole incident happened.

But, for what godforsaken reason? What exactly do we need to do here? That skeletal bitch didn't really answer me when I asked her.

”Well, I guess if she had told us, the story would have ended.”

Wait! WHHHAAAAATT!!!

Is that my trusted ability Plot Convenience I'm detecting in the hands of that bitch!? That traitor ability! It betrayed me, just like it did to Deku when he went up against Todoroki.

”Are you lost?”
