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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAkaFGO04GkR
414Please respect copyright.PENANAvHm3BTJ21n
That was my reaction as I woke up in the body of Ross Boiler, even the name screams TO BE IGNORED.414Please respect copyright.PENANAtxAYELgB2n
414Please respect copyright.PENANAALc4meGJEt
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAWdHP6JmaIT
414Please respect copyright.PENANACoX4rqBW4A
And this was a dream that refused to let me wake up.414Please respect copyright.PENANARqB9Xm4RLk
414Please respect copyright.PENANAtnaQn24c2Z
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAMWDY7ymGjf
414Please respect copyright.PENANAv2B5hKEFG3
I can dream about it can't I?414Please respect copyright.PENANAVmllJzEcAI

Prologue- Beats the moon upon my window414Please respect copyright.PENANA5rkaA4kCfo
414Please respect copyright.PENANAyiEb0YAFny
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAGEmH6GUJfX
414Please respect copyright.PENANARjmJiSlyPU
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAXXsuTjOxdV
414Please respect copyright.PENANAYdN2NhR73w
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAXgh4iBlrG7
414Please respect copyright.PENANAG1AGOmyEQ7
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAZNTqoiv7Qm
414Please respect copyright.PENANA5ljcRMjV6f
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAPINkpcc7q6
414Please respect copyright.PENANAbjEhZjizhn
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANABIB7Zwy03h
414Please respect copyright.PENANArCBdGoGXyT
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAqBqV6mNbgv
414Please respect copyright.PENANAqLhi1g2zRX
Why should he be concern about something that only exists in his head?414Please respect copyright.PENANA9thE82h5er
414Please respect copyright.PENANANvU1FflCvK
Then he stumbled onto something.414Please respect copyright.PENANA6FSmHOR0eI
414Please respect copyright.PENANAfwn3dWrrAC
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANA7fiLNBNo5q
414Please respect copyright.PENANAXBGE1NJ6bg
"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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAykBeaKLy0q
414Please respect copyright.PENANA8QJ87GcQa6
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANA6xNHPlCOdz
414Please respect copyright.PENANAqbZjbsrk7L
All he could find was some candy.414Please respect copyright.PENANAMIHqAsUJKb
414Please respect copyright.PENANAAFsjAZw1s8
He took one to calm his nerves and after about half an hour he was now more calm.414Please respect copyright.PENANAsTB2hIDpvz
414Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gez47BAcx
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAEH8ISBySlO
414Please respect copyright.PENANA96eJM0nfbH
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANASq53hXi363
414Please respect copyright.PENANAkISyXxuJn7
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAWZpzx0tGEr
414Please respect copyright.PENANATnSONrg4Y9
And as the light flooded the room, revealing all so too did it reveal what his candy was.414Please respect copyright.PENANAHyDgk0SxFF
414Please respect copyright.PENANA8X8ZblOGMd
It was anti-psychotic medication.414Please respect copyright.PENANAwctXEx9Ord
414Please respect copyright.PENANARiwZpiqHE7
Once more he was uncertain and confused.414Please respect copyright.PENANAAjcVQ8nUO9
414Please respect copyright.PENANAiFpCXwJcJj
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?414Please respect copyright.PENANATQRGijItio
414Please respect copyright.PENANAfSmCtMBRDX
Or was this just part of this new world?414Please respect copyright.PENANA3VOXiwzHnz
414Please respect copyright.PENANAKLAbWUiDbO
What if the body that he currently inhabited's sickness was what enabled him to leap from his previous world.414Please respect copyright.PENANASE8G0VYpjx
414Please respect copyright.PENANAJYaATYnw1a
Ross did not know.414Please respect copyright.PENANASLOgOlwgIv
414Please respect copyright.PENANAUFZeaofSEq
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAgcjIu57YQO
414Please respect copyright.PENANAgm8T9Ojzh5
And he realized something else.414Please respect copyright.PENANATW76uCvbBq
414Please respect copyright.PENANALP5l7KFcqm
"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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAP4uKoBFNSb
414Please respect copyright.PENANAL2forcG8KJ
A memory triggered by the sight of him finding himself in front of a fearsome demon in the woods again.414Please respect copyright.PENANAnkZMwtAW8w
414Please respect copyright.PENANA0uchtorNMS
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAEVG9xBnOP3
414Please respect copyright.PENANANKg0eC8GIp
"Good thing I'm crazy." Ross said as he remembered past echoes of a past life and noticed that the demon was four legged.414Please respect copyright.PENANAZ75QCqKLxg
414Please respect copyright.PENANAAJevkL4JuO
An animal.414Please respect copyright.PENANAXzIbd9vkkJ
414Please respect copyright.PENANAiVxhKQo04x
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAA0CZw21rsq
414Please respect copyright.PENANAEnkLEtSRKz
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAPuJWLc90yF
414Please respect copyright.PENANAweDw0239Qo
Ross relaxed and thought the worst to be over, only to be tackled hard by something unknown.414Please respect copyright.PENANAhvQxC0XmWI
414Please respect copyright.PENANAjI5GF3nR9n
"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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAD0rvUuAKxV
414Please respect copyright.PENANAil0frD18JZ
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAPaQFTnWh4i
414Please respect copyright.PENANAits3sLGM9H
A witch?414Please respect copyright.PENANAdpLqyIerIk
414Please respect copyright.PENANA1t7dcXLgRG
An elf?414Please respect copyright.PENANAaTLbdmhlSW
414Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0Tu4se3tk
A demon?414Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZP6HvlwjS
414Please respect copyright.PENANA3MNs9u45m2
An angel?414Please respect copyright.PENANAZLT6DeBEVK
414Please respect copyright.PENANAzrT8bimBfO
A fairy?414Please respect copyright.PENANAH54BDgUawY
414Please respect copyright.PENANAvTxmfJ5j0K
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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Id3mP7VW
414Please respect copyright.PENANAajvDQykQwO
"I'm fine, just stumbled onto a big wolf." Ross said.414Please respect copyright.PENANA3qFKDzNpN3
414Please respect copyright.PENANA651ZMs9drV
"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.414Please respect copyright.PENANASUR77wiw3C
414Please respect copyright.PENANAsGqhzMbApR
A spell then. To do what? Erase his memory? Hopefully. Do worse? Hopefully not.414Please respect copyright.PENANAUTfbHFM2lj
414Please respect copyright.PENANAtRhmDrgo9x
"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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9iXNlX6TP
414Please respect copyright.PENANA4buvnY8rkY
"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.414Please respect copyright.PENANAQaoxzGrKbe
414Please respect copyright.PENANAPNCONXNtGn
Either way Ross decided there and then to do 3 things.414Please respect copyright.PENANA3IQZ8LL2E7
414Please respect copyright.PENANAQiGkApIaDo
1. Get strong.414Please respect copyright.PENANAXUYocamLWQ
414Please respect copyright.PENANA4jYpmrpJJY
2. Be prepared.414Please respect copyright.PENANArTRhRm3RKH
414Please respect copyright.PENANAqpN27vfIqn
3....Never.....ever....make an enemy out of Hexen.414Please respect copyright.PENANA11TkhXFYzO
414Please respect copyright.PENANA4bH8cYs6Q7
"Wouldn't dream of it." Ross said as Hexen then cheerfully embraced his left hand in hers and escorted him out of the woods.414Please respect copyright.PENANAozZ7wUThb7
414Please respect copyright.PENANAKfDBVxUt23
"Wouldn't dream of it." Ross repeated quietly as he reached for his pocket and gripped the pill bottle there.414Please respect copyright.PENANAYsH7vYFJF6
414Please respect copyright.PENANAMgHeFWjGrC
Just another day Wonderland. He thought.414Please respect copyright.PENANAXUKPAe4cra
