Edit: apparently this is a very common form of Japanese storytelling called an isekai. There are 8 billion people in this world, no idea can be original. And sometimes you miss out on things many other people know. I’m clearly one of today’s lucky 10000.
I would be quite surprised
Go on Slack and say I’m going to miss the daily stand-up.
This is a person who has been isekai’ed into work
Wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and… smell the ashes.
I don’t remember seeing you get on…
what are you talking about that’s literally already how underground trains already work
See how much insulin I have left in my pump and start preparing myself mentally for death.
Well congratulations to our newest isekai v
ictolunteer! While traveling through the portal your body absorbed magical energy and you gained a new power! The power you have gained is… The ability for your insulin pump to never run empty! Now go out and fight demons and monsters, once you have slain the demon lord you may return back to your original world, and as a bonus you will keep your power that you received!Sweet! How do I charge it?
Probably just sit and wait for what happens next and hope all the people around me don’t freak out.
I lived in Japan for years without knowing about the whole isekai thing; I’ve just never really been into anime/manga.
Here’s some educational material for anyone curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbRxeJXpNOE
First thing, try and breathe to see if the unknown new world has an atmosphere compatible with the one I’m accustomed to. If not, I guess I’m dead.
Second thing, determine if I’m in a wasteland / nature setting, or a civilized one.
Third, regardless of the answer to the second, take stock of my current resources and seek new ones. Water is highest priority, food second, shelter third.
Trying to crowdsource your next Isekai, huh?
