His entire life had been ordinary. Everything a balance of what an average person gets, family, school, friends, a occasional girlfriend, and a few interesting developments. But life became anything but ordinary when James woke up to rain instead of his usual alarm clock.
James eyes opened slowly as he felt liquid hit him, he instantly felt the cold air on his skin as his usual warm blankets were missing. Adrenaline kicked in after the small bit of confusion, James found himself laying against a thick tree trunk while it rained around him. the water trickling through the leaves and falling on him.
He took a look around his heart pounding with confusion. He remembered waking up, planning to go to a movie theater, taking a shower, and barely managing to get his jeans, shoes, and Star Wars themed shirt on before everything suddenly ended. What happened? James slowly got up, using the tree trunk for support as he got his balance.

'no way' James thought. as holographic screen appeared before him. 'Am i dead!?! Did i die and get transported into a video game' he was scared, his heart pounding in fear of the unknown. only the rain accompanying the flooding crash of thoughts in his head. After several minutes of just looking about and thinking he had managed to calm down. 'probably best to just explore for now....' and with that he glanced around, only seeing trees in every direction, so he chose randomly and began walking.
James wasn't completely stupid however, though he hadn't been in deep woods before, he at least understood the concept of a video game. Predicting basic dangers, he looked across the ground while walking. Picking up 4 palm sized rocks and stuffing them in his pockets. Eventually coming across 1 decently sized branch he liked. Right now more than anything he needed something to defend himself and a few throwing rocks and branch to swing around was his best bet at the moment.
walking at a slow pace, he tried his best to stay underneath tree canopies to remain as dry as he could. Wanting another glance at his information window he whispered 'status' and a holographic screen appeared.

After a careful glance through his info, his first thought was 'Low human? the hell does that mean???' he scoffed internally feeling insulted. The next big thing to catch his attention was MP. 'that has to be magic! holy ****!' this was the first bit of good news so far, he could already imagine himself casting basic spells just like the video games. But he kept his focus on his surroundings. The rain was slowing but it was getting darker. The sun would set soon.
'who said video games were easy?' his stomach rumbled and his legs were starting to tire from the walking. he had never been the outdoor type. He sighed starting to feel a sense of helplessness as he continued his slow walk through the forest. He passed several mushrooms but being clueless on their edibility he passed.
Suddenly on his path he noticed a deep red tinting the ground, dried blood. Becoming alert, his eyes followed the streak of dried blood leading toward a severed hand...
