Edit: apparently this is a very common form of Japanese storytelling called an isekai. There are 8 billion people in this world, no idea can be original. And sometimes you miss out on things many other people know. I'm clearly one of today's lucky 10000.

Immediately gather any crumbs.

See how much insulin I have left in my pump and start preparing myself mentally for death.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Well congratulations to our newest isekai v~~ict~~olunteer! While traveling through the portal your body absorbed magical energy and you gained a new power! The power you have gained is... The ability for your insulin pump to never run empty! Now go out and fight demons and monsters, once you have slain the demon lord you may return back to your original world, and as a bonus you will keep your power that you received!

Lol. I mean, having a magician cast cure disease might also work

Sweet! How do I charge it?

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Its been nine hours, i hope you havent died with my delayed response. Because, frankly, its very easy to charge your device. This applies to all electronic you might have had with you, so where you typically plug in the device all you do is touch that area and channel your magical power into it, this should come natural to you being in the new world. It goes at a good pace so dont worry time, but you do have to worry about your mana consumption, im sure you're already aware of what happens when you run out....

Wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and… smell the ashes.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I don't remember seeing you get on...

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fight the urge to immediately get off the train.

Even with as many episodes of Star Trek as I've seen, I'm sure I'd want to rush right out and start exploring.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago

We should split up to explore more efficiently!

Ohh, this small creature in the underbrush looks adorable! I'm going to pick it up.

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

First thing, try and breathe to see if the unknown new world has an atmosphere compatible with the one I'm accustomed to. If not, I guess I'm dead.

Second thing, determine if I'm in a wasteland / nature setting, or a civilized one.

Third, regardless of the answer to the second, take stock of my current resources and seek new ones. Water is highest priority, food second, shelter third.

[–] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Finding a weapon is definitely the highest priority. As soon as everyone starts freaking out they're coming after anyone who has something they want. After the bloodbath you can use your weapon to get food or possibly help with making shelter, and you'll be ready to meet the natives once they arrive -- just in case they're not friendly and are at a lower technological level than what you have available.

Most cultures don't immediately leap to "better kill everyone else in the train so I can take their stuff."
