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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAWfr9Dx3QPi
393Please respect copyright.PENANABd5VE1kOXA
That was my reaction as I woke up in the body of Ross Boiler, even the name screams TO BE IGNORED.393Please respect copyright.PENANAzeotizHPZa
393Please respect copyright.PENANAiZSyZGGc80
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANADwnITGK4wZ
393Please respect copyright.PENANA8dQhJUVGcA
And this was a dream that refused to let me wake up.393Please respect copyright.PENANA4jH6Rmw40c
393Please respect copyright.PENANAMgWYDEru2J
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAcjaZgfL2XL
393Please respect copyright.PENANAqGEmCbfHGg
I can dream about it can't I?393Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ndUC6MQL

Prologue- Beats the moon upon my window393Please respect copyright.PENANAT0d35f9cwZ
393Please respect copyright.PENANAO9fxPL9swU
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAeOmJXNoYRR
393Please respect copyright.PENANA0fO99tEJ0m
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAMOQNm7Fvtj
393Please respect copyright.PENANAgS0Ydf7rSA
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAxTNdH2vV7N
393Please respect copyright.PENANAwpNi8ttlpl
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAHAt4NE9pCn
393Please respect copyright.PENANA2mxGFREGII
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAWvdUeGRt4H
393Please respect copyright.PENANAfK3V7zAzhq
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAHMs7mnF2VG
393Please respect copyright.PENANAKbFsZgI1lm
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA8ScZEEKNEb
393Please respect copyright.PENANA00wal35hQW
Why should he be concern about something that only exists in his head?393Please respect copyright.PENANA1kZW0ENyjn
393Please respect copyright.PENANA4fUj7YR518
Then he stumbled onto something.393Please respect copyright.PENANAhut20oQhBp
393Please respect copyright.PENANANqDX4iumFf
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAGYomge49P0
393Please respect copyright.PENANA2y3JJWeWST
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAnSlFQjoCt6
393Please respect copyright.PENANATXuz4m64PW
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAFh90o3rbyM
393Please respect copyright.PENANAungTuEPCQt
All he could find was some candy.393Please respect copyright.PENANANDbrsXY4kr
393Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZKuS0o5X4
He took one to calm his nerves and after about half an hour he was now more calm.393Please respect copyright.PENANAujGknY9Q92
393Please respect copyright.PENANAZstOavYvdk
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANANzNYMs0ivm
393Please respect copyright.PENANANX9gwXbuKp
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAOvN8Th2VQS
393Please respect copyright.PENANA6mUekw2EDx
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANA5vXXyKSRTD
393Please respect copyright.PENANAZriYv1TbGu
And as the light flooded the room, revealing all so too did it reveal what his candy was.393Please respect copyright.PENANAnh0oJQvZo4
393Please respect copyright.PENANAW5YQmtM5rq
It was anti-psychotic medication.393Please respect copyright.PENANAO66K4u3stI
393Please respect copyright.PENANAu0Uexr3usb
Once more he was uncertain and confused.393Please respect copyright.PENANAKJqvbrK15k
393Please respect copyright.PENANABPZKuwdkIR
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?393Please respect copyright.PENANAWbjVLMHNHW
393Please respect copyright.PENANALrYeIITrx7
Or was this just part of this new world?393Please respect copyright.PENANAL4ouaSBKAh
393Please respect copyright.PENANAseLAvJhNQQ
What if the body that he currently inhabited's sickness was what enabled him to leap from his previous world.393Please respect copyright.PENANAxFE4bf6kLE
393Please respect copyright.PENANAiMU4TMPTsS
Ross did not know.393Please respect copyright.PENANAbqVKR54Crq
393Please respect copyright.PENANAAOKXhGhLdQ
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANACRP6KWOhZe
393Please respect copyright.PENANAOFPPdUEOGE
And he realized something else.393Please respect copyright.PENANAf3AMUeMZiv
393Please respect copyright.PENANAp5AJsf7Pzd
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAqoai9shdzc
393Please respect copyright.PENANAyKuF8cR1Lw
A memory triggered by the sight of him finding himself in front of a fearsome demon in the woods again.393Please respect copyright.PENANAnduh0HlniJ
393Please respect copyright.PENANANDlmP6Hq78
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAqHbDhjWvjL
393Please respect copyright.PENANAIwYTHkeq4X
"Good thing I'm crazy." Ross said as he remembered past echoes of a past life and noticed that the demon was four legged.393Please respect copyright.PENANAADRiFS762E
393Please respect copyright.PENANAaKvIUmkVjq
An animal.393Please respect copyright.PENANAqqd5rlgmeX
393Please respect copyright.PENANAuW02qJ6AmE
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAK3IG6jorhS
393Please respect copyright.PENANAHf6fvWqHV6
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAIqT8r5Fara
393Please respect copyright.PENANAs3eFPlVbLj
Ross relaxed and thought the worst to be over, only to be tackled hard by something unknown.393Please respect copyright.PENANAfq5AzbSa28
393Please respect copyright.PENANAZBZrnshxKF
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAD3YVLOFFWw
393Please respect copyright.PENANAEr6Tnlxwph
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAuwUahhVtaE
393Please respect copyright.PENANAL9W5nDag48
A witch?393Please respect copyright.PENANAdiAwMOdYyR
393Please respect copyright.PENANAMJfB43LV6c
An elf?393Please respect copyright.PENANADjCf5sKCAJ
393Please respect copyright.PENANAWdeMvuNDh8
A demon?393Please respect copyright.PENANAwEvpBxrDKl
393Please respect copyright.PENANALKPTeougwq
An angel?393Please respect copyright.PENANAElS5sZhXNf
393Please respect copyright.PENANAa5pHrTsMZj
A fairy?393Please respect copyright.PENANAmiYlcT8Ufl
393Please respect copyright.PENANA24mybNQRNI
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAj62YpFGFVo
393Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ8qHU3ttn
"I'm fine, just stumbled onto a big wolf." Ross said.393Please respect copyright.PENANAnUx11HVm7m
393Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ7E1HdeuI
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAsVmNmyVh3O
393Please respect copyright.PENANAmWdNIL7joB
A spell then. To do what? Erase his memory? Hopefully. Do worse? Hopefully not.393Please respect copyright.PENANAzuOMfjKsmR
393Please respect copyright.PENANAWiIvN80MYz
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAqkZznSHyQL
393Please respect copyright.PENANAoRCRcxwS5S
"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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAmFgivLT1KP
393Please respect copyright.PENANALd6nUbWW7G
Either way Ross decided there and then to do 3 things.393Please respect copyright.PENANA18g5qY4rr4
393Please respect copyright.PENANALCLdNf2hzJ
1. Get strong.393Please respect copyright.PENANAGifRfirTOq
393Please respect copyright.PENANAFg7MywNIIJ
2. Be prepared.393Please respect copyright.PENANAOk1AKycvT4
393Please respect copyright.PENANAFoiA1cFpbL
3....Never.....ever....make an enemy out of Hexen.393Please respect copyright.PENANAfRLTj5JsfQ
393Please respect copyright.PENANAy77omuNUvz
"Wouldn't dream of it." Ross said as Hexen then cheerfully embraced his left hand in hers and escorted him out of the woods.393Please respect copyright.PENANARd2TfznZuB
393Please respect copyright.PENANAGUJAVa79ez
"Wouldn't dream of it." Ross repeated quietly as he reached for his pocket and gripped the pill bottle there.393Please respect copyright.PENANAVAUNEAbq0C
393Please respect copyright.PENANA9lDiQEGzME
Just another day Wonderland. He thought.393Please respect copyright.PENANANSab3ySbc4
