1 The Friend

Jake was sleeping against a small tree. just a peaceful nap is what it would seem like to any onlookers. But on the inside Jake was having a wild dream.

Jake was dreaming that he just got smited after he asked for some chips from his friend. It was his friends 28th birthday, Jake had met him at work he operated In the office cubicle next to him. Their friendship had started with a conversation between coworkers.

"Hey newbie do you have the chart ready?" asked Axel.

"Almost, I just need to add in the paper expenses." said Jake.

"Alright then, get it done before 7 ok newbie?" said Axel.

"Yeah, also stop calling me newbie ok?" said Jake.

"I dunno you seem pretty new to me..." said Axel.

"Call me jake instead." said Jake.

"Well alrighty then Jakey my boy!" exclaimed Axel.

"Just Jake dude!" said Jake.

"I know I know!" laughed Axel.

"So what's your name?" asked Jake

"The names Axel! Nice to make your acquaintance!" said Axel in a friendly manner while extending his hand.

"Nice to meet ya Axel." said Jake while shaking Axles hand.

"So what do you do for fun Jake?" asked Axel.

"I usually just read webnovels or watch anime." said Jake while rubbing the back of his head.

"Ooh I watch a lot of anime in my free time." said Axel.

"What's your favorite genre?" asked Jake.

"Well I have a few, but my two favorites are slice of life and isekai." said Axel.

"My favorites are fantasy and isekai." said Jake

'This guy is actually pretty cool' thought Jake.

"After your done with your chart do you want to grab a muffin or something at hungrygrains?" asked Axel.

"Sounds pretty good to me." said Jake, accepting the proposal.

*******************************

Snapping back to the tree there were a few things that were for lack of better words, off. Things that no sane person would see normally, such as Fairies, Sentient gelatinous blobs, Small men made of dirt and stones, y'know, abnormal things. Jake started moving a bit. He regained conscience a few seconds later...

"Ohhhh my eyes, what the hell!" said Jake.

Jake started rubbing his eye because they stung badly. Eventually the pain subsided. Jake opened his eyes and blinked a few times because he was questioning what he was seeing. His thought process went something like this-

"Ok hold up are my eyes on right? did I get drugged? am I lucid dreaming? somethings up..." Jake said.

Jake didn't quite believe what be was seeing, I mean, would you believe it If you got isekai'd?

"Okay so, the last thing I remember is asking Axel for some chips and then a giant pillar of light descended and then, uh...

I dunno, abducted me? did I get abducted by aliens?" Jake wondered out loud.
