It was never as they describe in the stories. Isekai, waking up in another world, magic ticket, whatever you call it but going down the rabbit hole and waking up in the body of a character from a story that you read is never, ever like they describe it.371Please respect copyright.PENANAFAlGynnPvL
371Please respect copyright.PENANAKQA9PaI2ZN
That was my reaction as I woke up in the body of Ross Boiler, even the name screams TO BE IGNORED.371Please respect copyright.PENANAqjClDmfbbI
371Please respect copyright.PENANAzGioq3vuW0
And immediately my first reaction was to go back to sleep and try to wake up, not to scream or be confused, for when you find yourself in a different world, a different body, you always assume it's a dream.371Please respect copyright.PENANAz6uKCgv5XJ
371Please respect copyright.PENANAEvKaS8DbxA
And this was a dream that refused to let me wake up.371Please respect copyright.PENANAygzYFt6bGK
371Please respect copyright.PENANArPbNygAF7g
So I decided to go outside and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. I just hope that what's awaiting for me is Wonderland and not something worse.371Please respect copyright.PENANA78YNywnpSu
371Please respect copyright.PENANAkO0sibBoS2
I can dream about it can't I?371Please respect copyright.PENANAYQi0czQVQz

Prologue- Beats the moon upon my window371Please respect copyright.PENANAWAZXjGJqS2
371Please respect copyright.PENANAaL4qfgW3vV
The wind blew through the hair of Ross Boiler, or rather of the body of Ross Boiler and the one who now occupied his body as the young boy had snuck out of his house and now wondered the woods outside.371Please respect copyright.PENANAaydz1te24D
371Please respect copyright.PENANA0sTrYw4qOG
To the one that was now Ross he wandered through the dark ground and woods in order to fully grasp his new state. Having remembered that in a previous life he had read many stories with a similar subject Ross was confident that this was just a dream, born of flight of fancy.371Please respect copyright.PENANAj9xQohTA1Z
371Please respect copyright.PENANAS1PD7URxw8
So he went without fear into the deep, dark woods. Woods that where unnaturally easy to traverse than the real ones that he spend his childhood in, a first clue that this was not like the real world.371Please respect copyright.PENANAyEmm2Euxga
371Please respect copyright.PENANAGv2bRbJOmJ
And the same could have been said by when he encountered a gathering of banshees in the woods. Fearsome corpse like apparitions of women who were mistreated and they all looked at him and started to circle and spread their dark arts around him.371Please respect copyright.PENANAuFKZZLMC4B
371Please respect copyright.PENANATuYIXn1trL
Banshees could not truly kill their victim, no, they had to have their victim give into their hypnotic songs and arts. And Ross just walked through them, their songs had no effect as he treated them as one would treat the Boogeyman.371Please respect copyright.PENANAuPz5SrSTTH
371Please respect copyright.PENANAbpC9JNgLex
An apparition that only exist in one's imagination. The stunned banshee's followed this unnatural boy as he had seemingly defied magic itself as he went deeper and deeper into the woods.371Please respect copyright.PENANAzU9kMoaE9H
371Please respect copyright.PENANAOFv41G4slC
Past gatherings of undead that starred at him in surprise as he looked at decay on two legs with a passing curiosity. Ross walked deeper and deeper without fear or concern.371Please respect copyright.PENANAzsx8gf19CS
371Please respect copyright.PENANAL5P9Mskbnq
Why should he be concern about something that only exists in his head?371Please respect copyright.PENANAnbkOhLlZ1S
371Please respect copyright.PENANAHks7qQIhZO
Then he stumbled onto something.371Please respect copyright.PENANA0JN7542fpS
371Please respect copyright.PENANAmUb6P7ifb5
He had tripped and hit his knee and the pain made his blood run cold. For he had never sensed pain in a dream before and he realized that he was now alone in a dark unnatural wood, filled with terrors of a dark nature, and bereft of the ignorance that acted as a shield against the dark creatures.371Please respect copyright.PENANAVMoOHjoQvh
371Please respect copyright.PENANA644GjeHTrl
"Stay calm....stay calm." Ross said to himself, for despite being in the body of a boy he remembered how the key point in all the stories that keeping a cool head was always the best solution.371Please respect copyright.PENANA8sxk2ZrOlL
371Please respect copyright.PENANAgp8XqZY7LT
Ross reached into his pocked in order to see what meager supplies he had with him in order to make his current situation more bearable.371Please respect copyright.PENANAwd2sjOGyMJ
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvcukbzLrDk
All he could find was some candy.371Please respect copyright.PENANA0OEkS9OSiU
371Please respect copyright.PENANAkPHo6IIsCA
He took one to calm his nerves and after about half an hour he was now more calm.371Please respect copyright.PENANAqXlhSI1sLD
371Please respect copyright.PENANA6vspLqmf5f
Deciding that the logical thing to do was to just go back and pretend that he was the same before this revelation and he turned and followed his own path back through the woods. Back through the lairs of banshee's and undead, only this time they seemed to be different in appearance than before.371Please respect copyright.PENANAs4xIKfcSoG
371Please respect copyright.PENANAuY6x7AKn8G
The songs of the banshees and the presence of the undead affected him in a different way as now he knew that things where far different than the first time he viewed this world, that how he perceived them to be.371Please respect copyright.PENANAi52srXfoZg
371Please respect copyright.PENANAN7oHrEGzyk
As soon as he got back to his house and room he laid locked his window and room door and quickly lit up every light in the room, now terrified of the dark. Of what creatures it may hide.371Please respect copyright.PENANAD2KgOzFcbH
371Please respect copyright.PENANAXzFCIM4DZc
And as the light flooded the room, revealing all so too did it reveal what his candy was.371Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Lnjungzk
371Please respect copyright.PENANAOcHscC9myD
It was anti-psychotic medication.371Please respect copyright.PENANABAHxhCd905
371Please respect copyright.PENANArwA2FQxdZx
Once more he was uncertain and confused.371Please respect copyright.PENANAQtkvnRB8MH
371Please respect copyright.PENANAXo8E1M4lpV
Was this world real and not a dream? Or was it real and all that he just experienced nothing more than delusions? Was his memory of a previous life nothing but the products of a sick mind?371Please respect copyright.PENANAMKo7E44yUu
371Please respect copyright.PENANAyTIWSUHux8
Or was this just part of this new world?371Please respect copyright.PENANAyceoQ8a0hM
371Please respect copyright.PENANAXMpxOktrDq
What if the body that he currently inhabited's sickness was what enabled him to leap from his previous world.371Please respect copyright.PENANADshJ0fCrmA
371Please respect copyright.PENANAEsfT40PZ1I
Ross did not know.371Please respect copyright.PENANAvSFWOgGcEj
371Please respect copyright.PENANAm648hzUjaI
All he did know....he knew nothing! He could not remember his previous world, his previous life, not even his own previous name. He was aware of them, but at the same time they were like echoes of past memories, shapes and shadows in the darkness.371Please respect copyright.PENANAePfOVb9VDu
371Please respect copyright.PENANAMORCphaDkI
And he realized something else.371Please respect copyright.PENANADtKgy7Fuq7
371Please respect copyright.PENANAUElvFm6JIf
"This.....this is a flashback." Ross said to himself as he blinked and found himself in the daytime, with an older body as he realized that what he just lived through was a memory.371Please respect copyright.PENANARkSCMkWw2T
371Please respect copyright.PENANArFvX8wIITa
A memory triggered by the sight of him finding himself in front of a fearsome demon in the woods again.371Please respect copyright.PENANA1CYXhYybCt
371Please respect copyright.PENANAqfi2YFMzHM
This was a moment that was common in all the old stories. The ordinary boy either died or froze and he was captured and use to give the protagonist a new story. And any san man would freeze and become useless in such a scenario.371Please respect copyright.PENANA18HkEr5L0C
371Please respect copyright.PENANAqnrfg2uREf
"Good thing I'm crazy." Ross said as he remembered past echoes of a past life and noticed that the demon was four legged.371Please respect copyright.PENANAG3pYyx9Hdm
371Please respect copyright.PENANAED46QONDLq
An animal.371Please respect copyright.PENANAflkHhWbHlv
371Please respect copyright.PENANAmGhTEBvJ5d
Immediately the echoes reminded him of wolves and bears and so Ross did not run or attack, he simply kept facing the demon like beast and lowly backed away.371Please respect copyright.PENANAoITGkepHz0
371Please respect copyright.PENANAEsUnbgPNG6
With each step the snarling demon calmed down and when enough distance was between the two of them then the demonic beast turned and left.371Please respect copyright.PENANA78N01vywVt
371Please respect copyright.PENANAOvB7d2GDsU
Ross relaxed and thought the worst to be over, only to be tackled hard by something unknown.371Please respect copyright.PENANAfsb3eN3Y3B
371Please respect copyright.PENANAjv0327oGkT
"ROSS! Are you okay?" The voice of a petite girl said to him, the voice that belonged to the one that leaped at him for a hug.371Please respect copyright.PENANAXlx53ewPU7
371Please respect copyright.PENANACW9RgWy0Mn
Memories flooded him this time, not just mere echoes, but of this girl. Hexen a childhood friend, one that was painfully obvious by her clothes, he eyes, her hair, by the way that she had suddenly appeared next to him and there was not visible trail of footsteps for her, while Ross had a noticeable trail that this was the magical protagonist of this story.371Please respect copyright.PENANApA6tK66TYt
371Please respect copyright.PENANAxJSlNUBIHG
A witch?371Please respect copyright.PENANAzYwau7sg5N
371Please respect copyright.PENANAdPMWye2aHR
An elf?371Please respect copyright.PENANA0bTr0NSFcH
371Please respect copyright.PENANAJgpYOBfU6i
A demon?371Please respect copyright.PENANAOUz3Yg91Gi
371Please respect copyright.PENANArd4xAQrjVl
An angel?371Please respect copyright.PENANAUHc2vM2R3C
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvOVB0EFg1O
A fairy?371Please respect copyright.PENANA6mlEsc0yAy
371Please respect copyright.PENANATi3hbBJBRZ
Ross did not know, all he knew was that someone had come to his aide and was hugging him and after facing a beats in the woods, Ross needed a hug.371Please respect copyright.PENANAiLiWG1UUXR
371Please respect copyright.PENANAmawrPZhawM
"I'm fine, just stumbled onto a big wolf." Ross said.371Please respect copyright.PENANAXAULHxW3gH
371Please respect copyright.PENANAkyb24GYPYb
"A wolf? You sure it was a wolf?" Ross heard Hexen said and he felt a chill down his spine as a strange sensation was felt behind him, probably magic.371Please respect copyright.PENANASkJLFy017A
371Please respect copyright.PENANAYt87U3CWZ0
A spell then. To do what? Erase his memory? Hopefully. Do worse? Hopefully not.371Please respect copyright.PENANAly1TVrUKwn
371Please respect copyright.PENANAGQKpEQLXw3
"Yeah, a big wolf. They're more common than you think H." Ross lied through his teeth and that seemed to work as the spell disappeared and Hexen broke the hug and gave him a cheerful smile that could make a soldier weep.371Please respect copyright.PENANAc7nB71tGN9
371Please respect copyright.PENANAGIBmCYUZjV
"I'm so happy that you're okay. But don't wander around here alone. Don't get into trouble Ross....Don't." Hexen said with what could either be anger born of concern or...or of something else.371Please respect copyright.PENANASpdIEZPlsJ
371Please respect copyright.PENANAEJo8vUxdum
Either way Ross decided there and then to do 3 things.371Please respect copyright.PENANAdgk95TZJoq
371Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3oTdq3eiT
1. Get strong.371Please respect copyright.PENANAdRR6MZF2FN
371Please respect copyright.PENANAdrO3iaOGFY
2. Be prepared.371Please respect copyright.PENANANJX3Lz6XV1
371Please respect copyright.PENANAcPEOCwKwhe
3....Never.....ever....make an enemy out of Hexen.371Please respect copyright.PENANAjsGvcjEBvG
371Please respect copyright.PENANAmf1cKCbDDL
"Wouldn't dream of it." Ross said as Hexen then cheerfully embraced his left hand in hers and escorted him out of the woods.371Please respect copyright.PENANAoQTdqJGbfa
371Please respect copyright.PENANAJPjCWVohEa
"Wouldn't dream of it." Ross repeated quietly as he reached for his pocket and gripped the pill bottle there.371Please respect copyright.PENANAtxKyHPEDba
371Please respect copyright.PENANAC0Ya21muTp
Just another day Wonderland. He thought.371Please respect copyright.PENANA1vvnaNMCs8
