"Ugh, what the hell happened?" I ask myself as I wake up in the middle of a snowy field. I look around and notice that there was nothing for miles other than more field. "I guess I should just pick a direction and hope for the best." I stated.
I decided to walk west and see if I can find a town or someplace where I can get some rest. I hear something in the bushes and reach my hand towards my sword only to discover my sword is gone. "What the fuck!?" I yell in anger. I look around and I see a stick not too far from me. I quickly rush to the stick and pick it up. I get into my battle stance and prepare for the thing that was in the bushes.
A figure jumped out of the bushes and what I witnessed jump out of them was a light blue slime with a dog face on it. "The hell is this thing?" I asked myself.
"Bowooze?" The creature, said I guess? It slowly jumps towards me with a curious look on its face. I have no idea what this thing is but I can't underestimate it. I quickly slash at it with the stick but the attack seemed to have done very little damage to the creature. I quickly jump back before it could pull off a counterattack on me.
"I think I'll finish this quickly, SONIC SLIC- GAH!" What the hell? A screen appeared out of nowhere and a message was displayed on it. The message said 'this current skill cannot be learned until you're level 43, sorry for the inconvenience.' Great… am I in an RPG or something?
"Bow, Bowooze." The creature said? I completely forgot about it for a few seconds. What should I do now? I guess if I can't use the strong stuff, I'll stick with the basics.
"SONIC SLASH" I yell while swinging my blade in an underhand motion. A wave of pure concentrated air flew right into the creature and hit it in the face. It seemed to have suffered more damage but it's still standing. The creature attempts to counterattack by jumping right into me but I sidestep the attack. I counter by kicking it into the air and followed up with a punch and sent it flying away. A few seconds later the screen appeared again and a new message appeared. This message put in simple terms said the enemy was defeated and I gained 8 experience points. For god's sake I am in an RPG and I must be at level 1.
"I guess the crushing news of finding out I'm alone and currently at a weak status without my sword could be worse." I said to myself. As the universe outright decided it was against me, a dragon approached from the south and it looked hungry. "Fuck this, I'm out of here." I said as I ran off.
After about ten minutes or so of running I notice a building not very far away. Finally, I can ask for directions and find out where the hell I am. I approach the building and knock on the door. I wait a few seconds but there's no answer. "That's strange." I knocked again and there was still no answer. I decided to see if the door was unlocked and as expected it was. "I guess I can still search for supplies." I said as I looked through the room.
After searching for what I think was five minutes I found something that caught my interest. "What have we here?" I asked as I picked up the object. It was a silver computer disc and there was a note next to it.
'How to use a hyperspace disc. Step 1: Attach it to your outermost layer of clothing.
Step 2: Wave your hand over the disc. An HUD screen should appear afterwards.
Step 3: Input your full name, your class, your age, and your current level.
Step 4: Input a password to use.
Step 5: When you're done you'll be able to store all of your items into it. To do this just hold the item over the disc for three seconds and it will be stored in there. To remove the item just hold your hand over the disc and think of the item you wish to take out.'
This seems basic enough to use. I put the disc on the left side of my trench coat and wave my hand over it. Just as the instructions said an HUD screen appeared in front of me. I input my information on the screen as followed.
"Name: Kevin Howards"
"Class: Swordmaster, I guess?" I said as I typed it in.
"Age: 24"
"Current Level: 1" That's admittedly pathetic as hell. I typed in all of my info the screen changed into an input for a password. What should I use? I guess I'll use 'her' last name for my password. "Password: Williamson." I said as I typed in the password. There, I should be good to go but I still need to find out where the hell I am.
I searched the building for another half hour but I was unable to find a map to use. "Guess I'll just keep going west." I said to myself as I walked to the exit. I got outside and continued walking west in hopes of finding a town. I decided to use this opportunity to think about how the hell I ended up here.
If memory serves me right Josh accidentally dragged in a kid from another world. If I remember correctly he was 17 and I think his name was Tyler? We told him that he was currently stuck in our world until we defeat our enemy Commander K, he also goes by Lucrodon. Josh told him about our current mission and he offered to help us out by being our navigator. Afterwards Josh opened up the inter-dimensional portal and I was first to go through it. I fell face first in that snowy field and the rest is self-explanatory.
Alright, I have an understanding of the situation but I have no idea on how the hell I can contact my world. I hope I can find some answers by the time I reach a damn town. After nearly an hour of walking I noticed a something on the ground. I pick up the item and thank goodness it's a goddamn map. I look at the map and it says I'm in a landmass called Lowee. Weird name aside it also shows my current location and the locations of towns and dungeons. It seems like the capital city is north from my current location. I decided to head north and unsurprisingly two of those slime creature's showed up. I draw the stick I was using as a temporary sword. One of them jumped at me but I easily dodged the attack and countered with three slashes from my stick sword. I finish my counterattack by stabbing the slime in its face. The creature broke into a lot of pixels after being stabbed. I guess that means I killed it? The other one jumped away from me out of fear after it witnessed how quickly I killed the other one.
The screen reappeared in front of my face and it gave me a new message. 'Kevin Howards is now level 2.' Is what the message said. I guess I'm slightly stronger now but there's still a lot more room for improvement. After that little tussle I run north again in hopes of reaching the capital city and hopefully I can get some more answers.
I arrive in the capital city (which has the same name as the landmass might I add.) and I look around for a little bit. A majority of the buildings seem to look like mushrooms but there are some larger ones that look pretty standard by capital city standards. I notice a sign on one of them that says shop so I decided to stop on by to see if I can get a legitimate sword. I look around the wares and I notice that they mainly sell staves and hammers as their weapons but I do see some other weapons like guns and some swords.
I grab one of the cheapest swords I could find and bring it to the counter. "Just the sword." I said to the store clerk.
"That'll be 110 credits." The clerk stated. God dammit I hope I have enough. Wait a sec, how the hell do I pay? "Um sir? Can you hand me your disc?" The clerk asked.
"Sure, here you go." I said as I gave her my disc. I guess it also keeps track of the amount of currency I have as well. The clerk handed me back my disc and handed me a receipt showing how many credits I have left. Apparently I have 50 credits left, I hope that's enough to use an inn while I'm in this city because I have a feeling I'll be here for a little bit. I took the sword and walked towards the exit.
"Sir." The clerk said before I left. "I notice you're low on funds, if you require more credits I would suggest going to the coliseum or doing some quests for the guild." The clerk recommended.
"I'll make sure to do that." I said as I left the shop. I think I'll check out the guild first and see if there are any good quests available. I walk towards the building I think is the guild and head inside to start what will likely be an interesting adventure.
Author's Notes: Chapter one is done and Kevin seems to be lost on what the hell he should do. If anyone is wondering why the hell I decided to make this well, if you read the bio provided for Kevin in HDN: Future Onwards by TMCraze, it states that Kevin is from an alternate earth and I felt like I should make a story that explains everything he did prior to his appearance. Tell me what you think so far and I'll see you next time.
