The air was crisp as Lucian opened his eyes. He scratched his head and looked around, hoping to gleam some information about where the heck he just ended up.
Last thing he remembered, he was playing the newly released anniversary edition Elder scrolls: Skyrim and managed to get past a couple of beginner quests when the game suddenly asked a very weird question; "Are you ready to explore the parallel word of Skyrim? Do you dare?"
Like all other gamers, he thought it was some sort of newly added feature or some sort of easter egg.
"They added in a new feature?" was his last words as he clicked "Yes". His consciousness faded completely and next thing he knew, he was here.
He ran his hand through his hair in frustration, then he realized his hair was longer than it was supposed to be.
"What the...?"
He looked around and saw a little body of water nearby. He slowly made his way towards it, a bit cautious of the new environment.
Finally getting to the puddle, he looked down at his reflection in the water, the moonlight revealing his face... or whoever's face this was.
He jumped back in fright as he touched his face and went in again for a proper look.
His build was a little more muscular than he normally was, which he failed to notice before. His hair was silvery like the moonlight with two blue eyes.
But, what stood out the most to him was the pair of pointed ears at the sides of his head.
"An elf?"
He then took a good look at the clothes he was wearing, finding it a little too familiar. He looked at the environment once more, coming to an interesting realization.
"These are the novice mage robes from the game, no doubt about it"
"Now, I'm pretty sure this is the world of skyrim, probably some transmigration and has something to do with that last prompt I agreed to."
The next second a couple of messages flashes by his eyes;

A couple of messages floated over his face similar to the interface of a game, leaving him confused for a while.
"This is supposed to be some sort of game interface, but it is different from the OG skyrim interface."
"Anyway, the stats does confirm that this is indeed the world of Skyrim."
>>A mysterious force beckons you over<<
He felt a little towards a direction in front of him, knocking him out of his thoughts. He couldn't quite explain what this feeling was, it was unique, like a string wrapping around his soul was being tugged.
Guided by this instinctual draw, he walked towards the direction where he felt himself drawn to, until he discovered a clearing where a huge egg lay, nestled in a dense pile of leaves.
Out of instinct, he approached the egg and touched it. Immediately, he could feel himself grow weaker as magika flowed out of him into the egg.
A series of runes then formed, wrapping around the egg, radiating an intense blue light.
>>Magika -100
The blue hue diminished after a couple of seconds as the egg started to crack.
