Book 1 Chapter 1 (Work in progress)

"Hello I'm Aldon, and if anyone is reading this, I am writing of this strange land. You may not believe that I was ever here, nor that any of this is true, but a couple months ago, I was in a world full of technology. However, in this land, you can't even find a light switch. Everyone from the other world seems to be in this one. All I want to know is what am I doing here and why?" Aldon wrote, as he sat in a average sized room, with sturdy walls and a nice expensive looking carpet.

The door to the room Aldon was sat in flew open, soon after an man walked in and said "Hey! I'm sure you have some rations somewhere around here. Where are they?"

"I'm sure you have some food and water left. No need to be greedy." Aldon replied.

"Just tell me where you keep your rations!" The man yelled, moving his left hand to draw a sword.

"If you can pin me, you can take all of the rations you can carry" Aldon said as he stood up

"Fine by me" The man replied as he drew his sword and charged. In a matter of seconds Aldon had the man pinned with the sword up to his neck.

"I forgot to what would happen if you lost. I wonder what should the penalty of losing be? How does loosing everything in your bag sound?" Aldon mocked, "Wait I know, I'll let you pick what happens, and I'll see if I think it's fair."

 "I don't care just please don't kill me" The man begged

Aldon stood up and put the man sword down as he said "Just remember I should be the least of your worries"

The man grabbed his sword and hurried out. Aldon began to laugh uncontrollably. After a few minutes Aldon had stopped laughing, and 10 minutes after that a roughly 5'6" man, with straight shoulder length brown hair and a slender build, walked in to the room.

"Daus" Aldon acknowledged

"Where are the rest?" Daus asked

"Hunting" Aldon replied

"Holding down the fort?" Daus asked

"Yes, seems just thieves are around today. Nothing special" Aldon said.

"I am very hungry, I must get some food" Daus said

"Go right ahead" Aldon replied as he grabbed a book and pen. Daus left the room, and Aldon began to draw creatures that he had encountered in this world, along with a rough description and known weaknesses. He drew many different creatures ranging from green giants to giant flying serpentine creatures. Aldon drew for about a half hour, before he stood up and walked out of the room, and into a large hall. Past the hall was a fancy dining room.

"Still eating?" Aldon asked Daus

"You tend to be hungry after two weeks of no food" Daus replied

"I can respect that, just make sure you don't eat all of the food that's left. I think it was raided before we got here." Aldon said as he grabbed some food and sat down.
