“Up Arnold, breakfast is on the table!” Beldrak shouted.
I wasn't taken back to Italia overnight. Things rarely change for the better. Unless you make them change.
“Not hungry,” I yawned. I had no desire to leave my warm and very comfortable bed. Looking out of the window I saw that it was snowing. This only reinforced my desire to stay where I was.
“More for us,” the wizard shrugged. “But if you are not at the door in half an hour, clad in mail, I will come up, and I will have a bucket of ice-cold water with me. Just so you know.”
He left, and I watched the ceiling. Putting on armour. Speaking with the mayor. Getting Jim's forgiveness for whatever he is angry this time. These are my tasks for today. And they are all equally pointless. Why did I even bother waking up?
Oh, right. Trueanvil woke me.
Beldrak Trueanvil. The jovial, squat little man, who is no man at all, but a dwarf. He was not so affable these days, was he? More like a nuisance. He won't stop pestering me until I do what he tells me to do.
I stuck out one of my arms from under the blanket. It was cold. Can I change in bed? Where are my clothes? Ah, right, in the bag. And the bag is... No, I can't reach it. Unless...
My sword was lying somewhere besides my bed. I felt the floor until I found the handle. Now all I had to do, was to get the sheathed blade through the strap of my backpack. Then I could drag it in reach.
Alas, I was clumsy. I poked my bag, and it slowly tipped on its belly. So much for that.
There was some reason I should be getting up right now. Putting on clothes. Oh right, Beldrak will come up again, and yell. I should do something about that. Plug my ears, maybe? But with what?

What are you doing, brother?
Oh, Lucius. What a ridiculous question. I am trying to sleep. So Quirinus can find me. So I can go back home.
Quirinus will never find you. He told you, remember? You are on your own.
On my own. Right. Not right. You are here with me.
I am not really here.
Lucky for you. I shouldn't be here either.
You are the lucky one.
Lucky. Heh. Some luck.
You are still breathing.
Hey, Lucius. Remember when we took Decia Minor to the Tiber?
Shouldn't you be getting ready?
She was afraid to come into the deep with us. But then you took her on your back.
Beldrak will be back with his bucket soon.
You were always a good swimmer.
Start with the small things then. Put the blanket away.
I taught you first, but you swiftly became better than me.
You can't reach your bag like this. You will have to stand up.
Maybe next time we go, you will show a trick or two to me.
Now open that knot. It's not hard. You tied it, you can untie it.
The girls are going to come too. And Mother and Father.
Put on an undertunic too. It's cold outside.
Father will sing, and Mother will make fun of his voice.
Now, where is your armour?
We will swim for hours, until we are too tired to move our arm.
You will never swim in the Tiber again.
Then we are just going to lie in the shallow, watching the clouds and the birds.
And I will never swim anywhere.
Don't say that.
Have you forgotten?
...
I am dead.
I know.
I am dead, Publius.
I know.
I know, I know, I KNOW!
...
Ah, right. There it is. I put my mail under the bed.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6
