Your shift as a courier has recently just ended, and it's midnight. As you walk down the eerily enclosed alleyway, for some reason. You feel a chill down your spine, sensing that someone is following you. But the alleyway is quiet. Almost too quiet.

Suddenly, you are held in a chokehold by someone who you think is probably a man. He doesn't say a word though. Turning you around to face him, he grabs the dagger from his pocket and starts stabbing you. Eventually, you fall to the ground, lifeless, and the man leaves you right there in the alleyway to rot.

Some time passes, and you start waking up, feeling soft grass on your skin. Thinking you're in heaven, you get up. But as you look around your surroundings, it doesn't look like heaven at all—more like a fictional world, a fantasy world.

A local townswoman sees that you have awoken, and goes to inform the rest of the townspeople, shouting, "Everyone! Everyone! The Newcomer has awoken! Gather 'round, gather 'round!"
