You got hit with a moving truck
Fuck
After being hit by the moving truck, you find yourself lying on the ground in a foreign land. You realize that the world is nothing like Earth; it appears to be medieval fantasy setting with forests and rivers around. The air feels fresh and clean, however you're currently too dazed to explore further.
I get my bearings and see if I have any special abilities
Focusing on yourself, you quickly realize that something's amiss. You seem to have gained the ability to teleport short distances! In addition, your physical stats and agility appear to be significantly enhanced compared to an ordinary person of your age and gender. It appears as if being transported here has granted you incredible abilities...
i test my teleportation
You decide to test your newfound teleportation ability. Focusing on a nearby tree, you manage to successfully leap over it in a flash! It's surprisingly easy and natural; you were born for this kind of environment.
Next, you take stock of your surroundings. This area appears to be relatively peaceful with no immediate threats. A nearby river flows gently, offering fresh water and the possibility of fishing or bathing. A dirt path leads deeper into the forest, where one might find animals or other adventurers.
I follow the path
You decide to follow the dirt path deeper into the forest. The further you go, the more diverse the scenery becomes; small clearings are interspersed among dense patches of trees and ferns. Birdsong fills your ears as you walk, accompanied by the rustling leaves beneath your feet. Eventually, the path opens up into a small glade with a gurgling stream running through it. Across the stream lies a fallen log, its mossy surface covered in delicate mushrooms of various sizes and colors.
As you approach the fallen log and its bounty of mushrooms, an idea suddenly strikes you. You have always been passionate about studying various types of fungi back on Earth; maybe this new world will provide ample opportunity for such pursuits! Gathering some large cloth sacks from your inventory (a strange consequence of finding yourself in a fantasy setting), you set to work harvesting as many mushrooms as you can carry.
I don’t canine the mushrooms hoping to find out any special properties they may have
You meticulously sort through the mushrooms, removing any signs of decay or damage before placing them into separate bags. As you work, you take note of their sizes, colors, and shapes. Each variety appears unique and could potentially have its own uses or properties. After finishing your task, you sit down on a nearby rock to examine each bag more closely.
One particular mushroom catches your eye; it's small and white with a distinctive crimson cap. You remember reading about such a type of mushroom in one of your old books back home. In this world, however, they are often used as medicine or ingredients in potions! Excited by the possibility of discovering new uses for these fungi, you decide to continue studying and experimenting with them.
You spend the next few days in solitude, studying your collection of mushrooms and experimenting with different ways to prepare them. You document your findings meticulously, hoping that one day you'll be able to share this knowledge with others who might appreciate it as much as you do. Your teleportation ability comes in handy when traveling long distances in search for rare or unique fungi.
One particularly interesting discovery is the ability of some mushrooms to enhance human strength and speed temporarily. This revelation leads you on a new quest: finding ingredients that would help refine these discoveries even further, allowing one's body to reach its full potential without relying on external sources.
I continue down the path and log my findings
You decide to continue your journey deeper into the forest, searching for more interesting fungi and potentially helpful ingredients. As you walk, you record all of your discoveries in a meticulous journal, hoping that one day it will become an invaluable resource for future generations studying these fascinating organisms.
The further you travel, the more diverse the forest becomes; towering trees give way to lush undergrowth teeming with life. Your teleportation ability comes in handy when navigating through denser patches of vegetation or crossing wide streams.
Eventually, your travels lead you to the base of a towering mountain range covered in snow and ice all year round. The cold air bites at your lungs as you ascend higher, but the challenge only serves to fuel your curiosity about what lies beyond these frozen peaks. As you climb, ever closer to the summit, strange crystalline structures begin to appear among the rocky outcroppings; they sparkle and glint in the sunlight like precious gems. Intrigued by their unique appearance, you decide to investigate further...
As you approach one of the crystalline formations, you notice that it appears to be emitting a faint glow. Curiosity gets the better of you, and you reach out to touch it...only for your hand to pass straight through! The crystal is completely transparent; its surface smooth as glass. You've never seen anything like this before.
Deciding that further investigation is in order, you continue exploring the mountain peak, searching for more of these strange crystals. As you climb higher and higher, your lungs begin to burn from the lack of oxygen; however, your enhanced physical abilities allow you to ignore the discomfort for now.
As you continue your exploration, the temperature drops even further and snow begins to swirl around you in miniature cyclones. The wind howls through the mountain peaks like an angry god's breath. Despite the harsh conditions, you find more of these strange crystals, each emitting their own unique light. One particular one caught your eye; it glowed a vibrant shade of blue, reminiscent of the sky on Earth during summer twilight. As you approach it, you feel an odd tingling sensation coursing through your body...
You feel yourself growing more powerful as the tingling sensation increases, almost to the point of being uncomfortable. It's as if the blue crystal is granting you access to some sort of arcane energy that was previously dormant within you. You don't know how long you can maintain this state, but for now it feels incredible!
With your newfound power, you decide to push further into the heart of the mountain range. The higher you climb, the more likely it is that you will find even more of these crystals and unlock their secrets...
As you ascend even higher, the cold air becomes nearly unbearable. Your breath freezes midway out of your mouth as snowflakes dance around you in a gentle swirl. The mountain peak itself seems to be just within reach; all that stands between you and its frigid embrace are a few final steps...
I push oneard
Ignoring the protests of your frostbitten body, you force yourself forward and reach out to grab onto a rocky outcropping. With a burst of energy fueled by the crystal's power, you haul yourself up over the edge and onto the icy peak. A heart-stopping view greets you: the world sprawls out below in every direction, its numerous lands visible only as specks of color amidst the vastness of the sea. The sun sits low on the horizon, painting everything in shades of gold and red. You've made it to the top.
Exhausted but exhilarated by your accomplishment, you collapse onto the frozen ground to catch your breath. As you stare up at the cloudless sky, you can't help but feel as if this is just the beginning...
I make a small map of the area that I can see from the mountain noting any landmarks and biomes
Using whatever materials you can find on the mountain peak, you carefully sketch out a map of the surrounding lands, noting down various landmarks and biomes as best you can. This way, should you decide to explore further, you'll have at least some sense of direction. As you finish up your makeshift cartography work, one thing becomes abundantly clear: this world is much larger than you ever could have imagined, and there are countless mysteries waiting for someone bold enough to uncover them...
i look around for anything else on the prak
You search the mountain peak thoroughly but find nothing else of interest besides some scattered pebbles and small patches of vegetation struggling to survive in this harsh environment. The wind picks up, howling through your hair as if urging you to move onwards and explore further. With a deep breath, you summon your courage and stand up once more...
As you stand on the mountain peak, surveying the vastness of the world before you, an idea suddenly comes to mind. You could use your teleportation ability to travel great distances in a fraction of the time it would take otherwise, allowing you to explore as much of this fantastic realm as possible within a relatively short span of years. Excited by the prospect of discovering new lands and uncovering ancient secrets, you take a moment to focus your thoughts before leaping off the edge and vanishing in a flash...
Where will you appear next?
I appear in the nearest settlement
You appear in the midst of a bustling marketplace, the cacophony of merchants hawking their wares assaulting your senses. People of all races and professions mill about, some browsing stalls laden with exotic foods and trinkets, others engaged in heated negotiations over livestock or rare items. The air is thick with the scent of cooking meat and spices, making your mouth water despite the early hour. This settlement seems larger than any you've encountered thus far; it must be an important trading post between various kingdoms and empires.
I see how much money I can get for some spare plants that I have already throughly studdied
Carefully inspecting your inventory, you find several plants that you've collected during your travels thus far. After studying them extensively back in the forest, you believe they could be sold for a good price in this marketplace. As you make your way through the crowd, merchants eye you warily, no doubt sensing an opportunity to overcharge an unsuspecting foreigner.
