Rex
I look over and see a face I've only ever seen in video chats. "Felix?" just as I say that I hear him say "Rex?". We just awkwardly stare at each other for a couple of minutes. It's only interrupted because he continues to punch my arm" ouch the heck man?" The pain is quickly overridden by the realization that I felt pain from that." Well crap...I'm not daydreaming" Felix just kinda nods his head but you can tell he's also accepting what just happened as reality.
We just look around us in wonder as we just realized things are very beautiful I'd say always have been a sucker for scenery. We're standing on a beach that leads into a vast ocean, can occasionally see….fish?.... Yea lets go with fish jumping out of the water. Thing is, those fish are a lot larger than the ones I've seen. Easily larger than myself. I stand at 5"11 and barely a third of the size of that fish.
I look away from the ocean only to see a forest, lush bushes and trees taller than the redwoods back on earth. I can only assume after these views, that this is not earth.
"Umm Felix whatcha think is going on here?" I kinda just mumble out to him. He's about eight feet away looking around like me. "Best I can think of is either we died and this is our afterlife, can't for the life of me understand why I'm spending it with you, or we got transported to well wherever here is." I just kinda start laughing at how unbelievable this entire situation has become. " next you're gonna say we have our own system -"
"Hello host, it is very pleasing that you were able to call upon me so quickly. Truly better than the last few who were brought to this wonderful world. They were never even given the chance to call upon my assistance before their untimely demise."
".....well that's good…..kinda" i just sigh at how crazy this is.
"What's good Rex?" that just confirmed the system talked to me through my mind…..or I've gone fully insane. ".....just say the word system" and like that I watch as he mumbles it then confusion just washes over his face. Well I'll leave him to that, lets see here (umm system?)
"Yes, host?" it seemed amused by our confusion. ( you got any like beginner info for me? possibly?) "Well, a nice beginner's info would be to find shelter. Soon. night time isn't very forgiving upon new arrivals."
New quest
Find shelter in a nearby cave located on your minimap(just think of the word minimap it'll ping your target location)
Reward- beginner weapon selection and water skin
Failure- eaten alive
(well that's helpful lets see here, minimap)
Location 4 miles away
Well that's helpful, it's north it seems….yea north ok. "Yo Felix….got a quest?" I sweat at the eaten alive part, that's not on my bucket list. "Yep….cave?" he just looks over and asks. I nod my head and without another word we start walking that direction while watching our surroundings.
We pass the time talking and just kinda theorizing what's happened to us and what we'll need to do. Luckily we've read a lot of fantasy based novels back in our world so it's not as mind numbing of a view but it's definitely a weird situation. We've made a single promise though through this situation we'll live and get back home… Mom, don't worry I'll get back to you someday.
