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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAtJEUmYAg82
446Please respect copyright.PENANAdQKAEQBLY4
That was my reaction as I woke up in the body of Ross Boiler, even the name screams TO BE IGNORED.446Please respect copyright.PENANA7bnKKKgpsb
446Please respect copyright.PENANA3e1kBYH4Ty
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAmPeaaF3zR6
446Please respect copyright.PENANATZ8TVbbbRH
And this was a dream that refused to let me wake up.446Please respect copyright.PENANANeOamnr8TE
446Please respect copyright.PENANAnJTH4TAdoP
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAXGNI5WYyFu
446Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ21AtaK2Z
I can dream about it can't I?446Please respect copyright.PENANAuLb8pF1GYf

Prologue- Beats the moon upon my window446Please respect copyright.PENANAfDJmiK1OyD
446Please respect copyright.PENANAEWLNx74eQw
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAX8TEhMFYG0
446Please respect copyright.PENANARhtrpHQkyp
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAvw2hcMS3cz
446Please respect copyright.PENANARVzANCCist
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAMLMq7fioze
446Please respect copyright.PENANAneuqJYYOdB
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAA8RZMn9Yxw
446Please respect copyright.PENANA1qe3Xr2ZgY
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAji9RIbKUwq
446Please respect copyright.PENANAe27uyk0PsB
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAgs36W9Bpn4
446Please respect copyright.PENANAAzojdJFGet
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANApYjp0W3TWP
446Please respect copyright.PENANAx0VSFWTJfo
Why should he be concern about something that only exists in his head?446Please respect copyright.PENANA3TfwXLuGv4
446Please respect copyright.PENANAsoq4VJU0Vh
Then he stumbled onto something.446Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ1AqPD3ZF
446Please respect copyright.PENANAkXWDBewwBD
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAcHdGAi0xYg
446Please respect copyright.PENANAoilHUinho4
"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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ6OzvNqHi
446Please respect copyright.PENANAUk85LMcJgc
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAz1iVqtnu9e
446Please respect copyright.PENANAMDSyRCIuUy
All he could find was some candy.446Please respect copyright.PENANAOYBiZ94vJd
446Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q1aKNj67e
He took one to calm his nerves and after about half an hour he was now more calm.446Please respect copyright.PENANArZS1Hpw2Ho
446Please respect copyright.PENANAAsl31PVxUw
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAf8zxUkDnGK
446Please respect copyright.PENANA9qJNfvHh8c
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANA9xzJ2GTN2x
446Please respect copyright.PENANAJuOPJgkhnz
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANA3XKqTjOOx7
446Please respect copyright.PENANA9zo3YXY80f
And as the light flooded the room, revealing all so too did it reveal what his candy was.446Please respect copyright.PENANAASX0ybzYxm
446Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q8zeJMJrD
It was anti-psychotic medication.446Please respect copyright.PENANAsvqx6K9kTg
446Please respect copyright.PENANATfbNdlpPM4
Once more he was uncertain and confused.446Please respect copyright.PENANA5R5kfst3ec
446Please respect copyright.PENANAVCxikOdcZY
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?446Please respect copyright.PENANAjsLX5RUU4S
446Please respect copyright.PENANAkpArQ2M45E
Or was this just part of this new world?446Please respect copyright.PENANAXerBiuMQxC
446Please respect copyright.PENANAJjbSEn4KDW
What if the body that he currently inhabited's sickness was what enabled him to leap from his previous world.446Please respect copyright.PENANA2VaDV3eq9b
446Please respect copyright.PENANAxgMEpI8YVm
Ross did not know.446Please respect copyright.PENANAlBllXJduwT
446Please respect copyright.PENANA592XcLlDEv
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAtCbTBeqCf4
446Please respect copyright.PENANAJRHaQy9ka1
And he realized something else.446Please respect copyright.PENANAedZqctV5SX
446Please respect copyright.PENANAe4SWNF33j7
"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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAqBfeEIcOnX
446Please respect copyright.PENANAIIQnR1N50z
A memory triggered by the sight of him finding himself in front of a fearsome demon in the woods again.446Please respect copyright.PENANAOTJN2Jezhq
446Please respect copyright.PENANAw2PXrbL7QZ
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANANPsnpfwCIO
446Please respect copyright.PENANAqvLFdTYY66
"Good thing I'm crazy." Ross said as he remembered past echoes of a past life and noticed that the demon was four legged.446Please respect copyright.PENANAiUBlVxgV1Z
446Please respect copyright.PENANAizO91rBmup
An animal.446Please respect copyright.PENANAI06FagZdfF
446Please respect copyright.PENANA86zY3pAnaK
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAOWndEobZXu
446Please respect copyright.PENANAFa6saWLnjk
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAjVgErd0nd4
446Please respect copyright.PENANACuy3AAAsrF
Ross relaxed and thought the worst to be over, only to be tackled hard by something unknown.446Please respect copyright.PENANAMTFzA22qDs
446Please respect copyright.PENANAqjYbSbbrJc
"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.446Please respect copyright.PENANA7cSLa6LVY5
446Please respect copyright.PENANAnS4S3trY7W
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANADRVhyDlxf8
446Please respect copyright.PENANAPr3bTLLHkW
A witch?446Please respect copyright.PENANAySYDKbrWyT
446Please respect copyright.PENANAFujag3Sdz4
An elf?446Please respect copyright.PENANARrLgUTZwfH
446Please respect copyright.PENANABfazsvBM6y
A demon?446Please respect copyright.PENANAwAKJMwVTT2
446Please respect copyright.PENANAw1uKKavgJJ
An angel?446Please respect copyright.PENANAyzzkaiMXXV
446Please respect copyright.PENANABr0WUKmXQb
A fairy?446Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ2qdaS3Lg
446Please respect copyright.PENANAN3aCr6H1Kl
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAyaKUBe2d54
446Please respect copyright.PENANA3u8v6WIzrv
"I'm fine, just stumbled onto a big wolf." Ross said.446Please respect copyright.PENANAE1ep3ny9Oi
446Please respect copyright.PENANA6vqoQDlirE
"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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ8zj6A4Wp
446Please respect copyright.PENANAEyJLcPFct0
A spell then. To do what? Erase his memory? Hopefully. Do worse? Hopefully not.446Please respect copyright.PENANALlJPSeFqH1
446Please respect copyright.PENANAZKeJmYYK0V
"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.446Please respect copyright.PENANA7zp88i4XJk
446Please respect copyright.PENANA8wNsAPeWu2
"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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAFxUyYj0psu
446Please respect copyright.PENANAxhRqWx7Afc
Either way Ross decided there and then to do 3 things.446Please respect copyright.PENANA5j9KXL3FIp
446Please respect copyright.PENANAveci2PArx0
1. Get strong.446Please respect copyright.PENANA9FGumKXUWO
446Please respect copyright.PENANA0BKuGjXB6D
2. Be prepared.446Please respect copyright.PENANAct6NB7g46O
446Please respect copyright.PENANAByLKRtn9YF
3....Never.....ever....make an enemy out of Hexen.446Please respect copyright.PENANAjl1j9m0PmN
446Please respect copyright.PENANAjODN7HKpfo
"Wouldn't dream of it." Ross said as Hexen then cheerfully embraced his left hand in hers and escorted him out of the woods.446Please respect copyright.PENANAyB6QFxhvqu
446Please respect copyright.PENANAlyzt2QeL9W
"Wouldn't dream of it." Ross repeated quietly as he reached for his pocket and gripped the pill bottle there.446Please respect copyright.PENANAgYc79p7eq4
446Please respect copyright.PENANAF9brmf9CMQ
Just another day Wonderland. He thought.446Please respect copyright.PENANAjiSw0Qexfx
