Chapter 1 Prologue

If there was some way, anyway, to traverse through space and time to enter a whole new world, would you take that chance? Or would you deny this once in a lifetime opportunity in light of the numerous benefits and life changing decisions you would miss?

Even if you were to make such a choice, sometimes, the choice is forced upon you by some deity or whatever the being/person might be. These type of people revel in mayhem and destruction and seem to enjoy in meddling with the affairs of normal humans.

This was about to change for our main character here who, err, well… it would be better if you found out for yourselves. No sense in spoiling who the character is.

The true story begins somewhere in the USA, in one of the states in a city where a boy sat in his room, alone. Keep in mind, he's not really alone, there are others within this household. But we'll be focusing on this boy for now.

"..." No dialogue left the boy's mouth for he was too occupied with his music, wearing blue Sony headphones while staring at his computer screen. It was an AOC monitor with a screen resolution of 1920x1080 and had regular speakers on the sides in addition to a casual gaming keyboard which was glowing green.

The boy was wearing a dark brown and navy blue striped leather jacket with a t-shirt underneath it, regular jeans, and blue & white shoes with white socks and wearing black glasses. The t-shirt in question was a mystery to me but it might be revealed in the future… maybe.

It was a quiet Friday afternoon, the boy having time to relax after finishing his homework the previous day. Not that of middle or high school but the likes of college which is something he didn't really enjoy but he had to attend. "College is both difficult and stressful."

The ginger haired boy finally spoke up, as if he was just answering my question, don't know how he just did that. Wait… ah, it would appear he wants to take over as author. At least, I think he does so I'll transfer control over to him. Stand-by… transfer complete.

"..." What? Were you expecting me to introduce myself? When you think about it, I probably should but I'm… well, it's difficult to explain. But I'm… enough of that, I'm just going to introduce myself. My name is Thomas, nice to meet you readers!

Now then, what will I do today? Should I watch a brand new anime, perhaps a standalone movie? Or will I play one of 119 games I own which consist of Prototype 1 & 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Steins;Gate (The Visual Novel), Clannad and Clannad: ~It's a Wonderful Life~ or whatever game I want to play. I don't really know.

It may not seem like I'm listening, what with my headphones on but since I'm the Author now, it probably doesn't matter. Does this count as a 4th wall break? That I can't say. Now that I think about it, I want to play through SWKoTOR 2* again, for the 3rd time in the past week.

Let's see here… let me just move my mouse over to the game library and click on it. There we go, the game's loading. Give it a few with the maximization, this game still has nugs which I'm perfectly fine with. Oh, and my mousepad is a Skyrim themed mouse pad. Can you guess which one? Hint: It's colored yellow.

Man, this music is awesome. I love it so much! It's the 2nd ending for an anime I really love which I'm not sure people would be fine with me mentioning it. Anyways, I opened KoTOR 2 and now I'm traveling on the surface of Telos, still trying to find my ship, the Ebon Hawk. What was that?!

Sorry, it just feels like someone's watching me, from one of them scary movies or something. I continue trying to get my ship back by traversing the underground back Czerka users. Always up to no good… oh well, I am playing as a light side character. I swear, it feels as if someone is lurking in my room. Sorry, I'm just going to pause my game and turn on the lights.

After I turned the lights on, I took a glance around the small room which is currently occupied by yours truly. It looked the same; there wasn't anyone else in the room. I scratch my head and after turning out the lights, I returned to my computer to play once more.

"Hehehe. He won't know what hit him!" An unknown voice was heard from above but I was too glued to my game to notice the voice. When I was nearing the end of this level, I proceeded to save before I was pushed back, albeit still in my chair, toward my bed all the while hitting my hands together. And my headphones fell off.

"Whoa. That's freaky. What exactly is going on here?" I ask myself before a strange purple, thing… whatever it is, it's surrounding my room like some sort of plague or something. When I got up from my chair to look around the room, I hear a voice from behind.

"Turn around." I twirl around real quick with a hand smacking me right in the face. I fall unconscious, unaware of what had just occurred. "Ow."

"Hehe, this should be interesting…"

Somewhere in a distant location

Sounds of people talking, walking and selling were heard in such an area which reminds me, I should probably wake the main protagonist up.

[Hey! I'm the main protag ya know!]

Neptune! We've been over this at least 5 times… this is my story. I'm choosing who the protag is. When you get around to being an author, then and only then will you be able to choose your own main protag. For this story, it's Thomas.

[Alright, fine. But you owe me a pudding after this chapter!]

Perhaps the protag of this story will buy you one? Anyways, we need to focus on what's going on in this here chapter. *Ahem*. That's interesting… in this area, the protag is in some dark alleyway or something. He should awaken soon.

"Hnnrg…" Thomas slowly began to awaken after hearing numerous sounds in the area which roused him from such a nap. Slowly and steadily, the orange haired boy began to awaken and stood slowly on his feet, albeit a bit… disoriented.

"What… happened? Where am I? Hmm? This is…" Just as Thomas completely comes to, he sees his aqua colored backpack sitting on the ground a few feet in front of him. He bent over and grabbed the backpack, seeing the zipper was closed and placed it on his back.

When he exited the alleyway, he came to see numerous people walking up and down the sections of the walkway. Looking around, he noticed the people looked… different. He couldn't quite put his finger on it until he looked at his own hands.

Wait… this is basically me. Why am I speaking of me in such a manner? Sorry. When I looked toward the sky, blocking out the sun with my arm I immediately recognized just what had happened to me.

"Woah! Did I just… wait, who's that girl?" I turn my attention to a girl, walking alone along the walkway. She has long jet black hair with most of it worn down reaching her chest with some of it worn in pigtails, wore a black dress and had red eyes. Wait, this girl seems familiar… thinking about it…

"I know her. She's Uni!" I accidentally shouted, covering my mouth after saying such a thing in public. It wasn't too loud but it was loud enough to catch Uni's attention. I turn my gaze away and… oh. Dangit, where did my glasses go?! I have to find them and quickly!

I rummage around the ground, searching for my glasses for several minutes while Uni continued to roam ever so closer to me. I wasn't panicking, just searching for my glasses and all. After a short while, Uni was towering over me with her hair waving due to the wind in the air around us.

"Hey. I think, your… looking for these…" Uni moves her left hand towards me and I notice she was holding my glasses. I slowly and awkwardly take my glasses and put them back on and immediately I stood up.

"Thank you..." Is all I say before I turn around to go, well… wherever. I'm well aware of where I'm am but I'm sure the readers are aware as well. After all, that is the name of the fandom this story is in.

"Hey, wait! Earlier, you… said my name. Do I know you?"

"..." I stare at Uni and turn around to leave but she immediately grabs me by the jacket, not intending on letting me leave. Uni just approached me of all people… why? I'm just a human, nothing special about me. But it would be rude of me to just brush her off like that.

"Hey, don't leave! I just asked you a question!" I awkwardly look at Uni who just asked me how I knew her. Maybe I should tell her. But wouldn't it be weird if I told her I was from a different world where I played several games with Uni in such games? I can't very well lie to her, that's not the type of person I am.

Ah, what the heck. I might as well tell her, a bit… in the next chapter! Haha!

*- For those of you who don't know, SWKoTOR 2, the game stands for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, a very popular Star Wars game.
