Alaryck Esquivel blinked, disoriented, as consciousness slowly seeped back into his mind. The last thing he remembered was the sharp screech of tires and the sickening crunch of metal. But now, instead of the familiar sights and sounds of the city, he found himself surrounded by an eerie silence.
He tried to sit up, only to realize that he was lying on soft moss under a canopy of unfamiliar trees. Panic began to rise within him as he struggled to make sense of his surroundings. Where was he? How did he get here?
As he pushed himself into a sitting position, Alaryck noticed something strange about his hands. They looked different-larger, rougher, and covered in dirt. He flexed his fingers, feeling the unfamiliar sensation of calloused skin against his palm.
Then, as if on cue, memories flooded back into his mind. He remembered his life as Alaryck Esquivel, a computer programmer who spent his days working in a dull office cubicle and his nights lost in the virtual worlds of online games.
But this... this wasn't a game. This was real.
With a sinking feeling in his chest, Alaryck realized that he had been reincarnated into a world of magic and fantasy. It was a world he had only ever dreamed of-a world of heroes and villains, dragons and dungeons.
As he stood up and surveyed his surroundings, Alaryck couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. This was his chance to start anew, to become the hero he had always wanted to be.
But first, he would need to figure out how to survive in this strange new world. Alaryck knew that the adventure of a lifetime was just beginning.
Author's Note: Sorry this is so short, it's more of an intro than a full chapter. I work a fair amount but I will try to release something new at least once a week.
