Chapter 1 - I shall wander
My name is Stian Peregrine and i have been somehow transported into a parallel world. I said 'somehow'because for now i don't know if this is an effect of the strange gas that have made me unconscious early on. By the way i already ministered a medicine from my survival backpack to cure my hallucination, but yet the floating islands and flying creatures doesn't seem to disappear in front of me.
Speaking of which, i am currently in top of a humongous tree that is about 91 meters high and as wide as a concert hall dome. Gazing at the land below has made my throat dry, mainly because of the different plant's and trees i don't recognize or feel 'earth''like. The trees have that fantasy feeling you would see at any modern fantasy these days.
But enough of that, i turn my mind into the reality that is now. For now i have two conjectures.
-I have probably taken in a strong hallucinogenic gas and is currently experiencing hallucinations.
-That somehow i have been transported into a parallel world
Firstly and obviously, i have turn my head more into the hallucination part. Though, even with the administered drug that can clear up hallucinations, that drug either didn't take effect and im still hallucinating. If so, then the one i inhaled during that time i feel binded must have strong hallucinogenic effects that even a drug that can easily cure hallucination have no effects at all.
Secondly, the 'transported into a parallel world' conjecture is something i have a lot of doubts on. After all something that easily surpass reality, truly cannot happen right? But even so i still added it as a possible conclusion on what is happening because their is still a chance of it.

I can say 'there is a chance' is mainly because of the strange things that followed, something even over the top before i inhaled that strange gas.
First the Mysterious peculiar tree and the whole 'cavern' was oddly weird and is rare to happen. And even adding to that was the mysterious altar and that miniature tree along with the carved writing.
Especially that carved writing where i accidentally pricked my blood and then the blood covered the whole writing within the second i wipe it off with a cotton. And adding to that is the miniature tree and the carving is now tattooed in my left palm.
My heart beat faster at the thought of being transported into a parallel world. It's something fantastical but even with that, would i even survive here? In a world i don't know there is a lot to consider.
First is that will their even humans in this world? Second is, even with there being signs of humans, will i even know their language? Third, is the unknown which i fear even most
Food and necessities. will i able to survive if this world is a hunt for food type world? And even if there is merchants and shops, where can i get any of their currency? Or is it barter trade?
And even if there is barter like shop, there would be no way i can give anything to them. After all now that im this situation, my survival backpack is the ones that can protect me the most.
As i think more hardly, i feel shivers in the thought of whats gonna happen to me now. But even so....i took a deep breathe and think. With my current state right now, i need to calm down.
If this is a strong hallucinogenic drug then im fuck. But even so the prospect of a parallel world is more fun to lean on than being asleep somewhere on a state of hallucination.

Then i stood up, for now there is a need to calm my heart down. In order to that i took the camera in my left front pocket and then pointed the camera at the floating island and scenery in front of me.
As i took the pic and look at the camera, there is an image of what i took just now is currently showing on the screen. Then being daze for a moment...i gripped my heart and made a resolve
''Looks like i have no choice now... Then if this is really a parallel world, then i shall wander!''
I made and declare a resolve, even if this is a delusion or reality...I need to wander and see what this world has to offer. Even if this is delusion or not. I must go , simply because the boiling blood of my ancestors tells me to.

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
