Don't be mad at me. This is my first story. Reviews are appreciated.
"Speech"
'Thoughts'
The Gamer
I believe it was noon in the middle of a December day when this all occurred. Now, stay with me here alright. This story is a little far fetched, but it's the truth. Well, maybe not the entire truth, but I'm not about to tell you my life story am I?
...
And I'm talking to myself. Oh the joys of insanity. How it slowly settles in. Well anyways back to the reason I'm here.
So there I was, just got out of school. It was a half day, which meant I got out at 11 o'clock. However, today was a Friday, which meant one hour of my club activities. Since I am a straight A honor student, I was the president of my very own game club. It usually dealt with board games and the like, but we occasionally played videos games at special group meetings.
I just finished my duty as DM for my friends in one epic battle. It was very story driven and dramatic. They managed to take down an adult red dragon and free the Dwarven republic, although I was carrying them with a certain cleric NPC. They still have so much left to learn…
*cough* I'm getting off track.
Anyways I was walking down the sidewalk when I noticed the crossing guard wasn't there today. When I saw there was only one green Ford coming from the left as I started to cross the road. Since there was a stop sign I logically thought they would stop.
Oh how wrong I was.
As I was walking I slipped on a piece of ice. Seemingly ignorant of both me and the stop sign the car kept going. 'Oh shit.'
I panicked and tried to get up and out of the way only to slip and hit my head on the road and got a slight concussion. My entire life flashed before my eyes.
I was in my old house looking at my mother with inquisitive eyes as my first memory took hold. After that I remember hearing the news of my older brother's, who I barely remember, death. Then I met my best friend for the first time, which I promptly blew off for crowding the popular kid. Me waiting outside in a blizzard for my mom to come pick me up. After that, it was less innocent memories and more of me growing up. I matured as I contemplated life with my best friend. I stopped smiling as much. I ended up pretty weird.
'Well this is one way to go. A boring way, but... I've got no complaints.'
As panic and dread left my body and acceptance overflowed into me, I thought one thing as the tires began to crush my neck and a bitter smile floated on my face. 'F*cking Canadians.'
My vision first went red, and then black.
Now I'm here. Just little ol' me sitting in the void. Yep… just floating around… talking to myself… Okay this method of keeping my sanity may not be working.
Luckily something came to help preserve my sanity.
Welcome to the Game
Start?
[Yes] [No]
Oops… did I say preserve my sanity? I meant utterly destroy and burn it and then build a new sanity on top of its smoldering ashes.
After staring at the blue box in front of my face I let out the largest grin I've ever made in my life while promptly pressing 'Yes'.

'Yes!' I mentally scream as I read the prompt. Then I saw I got to choose when I was sent there. 'Double Yes!' I yell in my head. A blue translucent keyboard appeared as I typed my answer.
12 Years Before Canon
I had read enough fanfictions to know what to do next.
In order to best align you with canonical time you will be de-aged until you're 5.
'Well okay, that's… for the best I guess.' After a quick contemplation I decided that it was okay and everything started to fade out.
Welcome to the Game
Good Luck!
And with that, my, admittedly strange, story began.
