Misty Mountains
Tiberius POV
"What the?"
Darius and Garen stopped their conversation as they hear his voice. Looking at Tiberius they noticed him looking at the sky intently with a surprised expression. Both of them looked up trying to look for the reason for his bewilderment. Looking up they see the night skies full moon and bright stars.
Garen continued to stared at the sky for a long time before his eyes widened in realization: "My God!"
Darius stared at the sky trying to find out why the two looked surprised. He scratched his head as he looks up: "What I don't see nothing"
Garen smacked Darius head and pointed up: "Look at the stars, you idiot"
Darius once again looked up as he observed the stars. He squinted his eyes trying to find any anomaly from the stars when suddenly his mouth wide opened: "My God the stars! they look beautiful?" He once more scratches his head.
Garen smacked Darius' head and grabbed around his neck while pointing up.
"Look at the stars, you idiot! aren't they familiar?"
"What? they're the same old stars nothin, Oh, Oh! the constellations!, THEY'RE THE SAME FROM OUR WORLD!"
Garen looks at Darius and thinking how stupid and slow he was: "They are exactly the same! both the color and where they should be, also the moon has the same black spots on its surface just like the moon on our world!."
Tiberius looked at the duo and placed his hands on his chin: "If they are same moon and stars doesn't it mean.."
"This is the same world!" Garen completed his sentence with an excited expression.
Darius eyes wide open as he hears him say that: "Wait, what do you mean this is the same world?, I don't recall any goblins, orcs, giant wolves and great eagles in Rome or any other place, the biggest animal I've seen was an elephant."

Tiberius nods his head as he also ponders what Darius said: "Maybe we are in the lands beyond the Atlantic Sea? no ships have ever sailed beyond it."
Garen looked at Tiberius and wondered if his words are true, if it is they only have to build ships and sail towards the east to be back in Rome.
Garen looked at Tiberius and speaks his thoughts: "So we just need to go east then find a sea and cross it to be back in Rome?"
Darius intervenes as he hears him say that: "Why go back? we just got here, it's fun here! lands to conquer, adventures, fighting strange new creatures, and ELVES!, I haven't slept with one yet and the dwarf Kili said they are excellent dancers in bed!, I have to sleep with one before I at least go back." Darius crossed his arms and nods as he explains.
"Sigh" Tiberius shakes his ahead in disappointment at Darius reasons. He looked at Darius with a serious expression: "How about our family, friends, and our duties back in Rome?"
"Family? They won't care about me. Friends? You're right here! as for duties, my duty is to protect you and I'm doing it."
Tiberius and Garen looked at Darius with pity as they heard him say that. They knew Darius' situation back home and they feel sorry for him.
Tiberius gave his reasons on why they should go back: "We have to go back Darius, our family will be waiting for us, and if I don't go back, Rome will be in turmoil if something happens to the emperor, there might be one right now with our legions missing. Our disappearance would cause great chaos in Rome as the emperor looks for me and the legions. He might think that the enemies of the empire were at fault.

Darius looks at Tiberius with a serious expression before reluctantly agreeing: "Fine, at least let me sleep with an elf first before we go back okay?"
"Sure, sure, we will be here for a while anyway, and we will be passing through their domain in our journey, you can sleep with those elves if you find one willing to."
Tiberius looked towards the duo: "We will go back home right?, Including the legions. With the possibility of seeing their families again the legionnaires would continue to fight for us. We will smash all the obstacle in our way. We will show this land why Rome became the ruler of the Mediterranean."
---------------------------
The three sworn brothers made a pledge around the bonfire to do all they can to bring back the legions back home. This pledge marks the end of their first day here in middle earth.
What they don't know is up in the sky, you can see the continents of the world, there are two major continents, the continent of middle earth is separated from the other continent by a vast Sea, when the time comes when the legions of Rome arrive on the other continent they will be disappointed.

8 177A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
