Arcanemigration
It’s been a long day, taking care of my pregnant wife, running places with my dog in tow.
Honestly I'm sleep deprived but I only need to get home as Led zeppelin plays to keep me up on a long mountain road from visiting my family. We sit in comfortable silence. I think of nothing more than what else I can learn online stories to read and games to play, as my wife plays on her phone. It's calm. A cloudy night, a winding road, a happy life. It might not be what i wanted but it is happy nonetheless. At some point my eyes close. Not for long mind you but long enough. I open them to my wife screaming “ WILLIAM WAKE UP WAKE UP THE ROAD THE FUCKING ROAD FUCK FUCK FUCK” as the road comes back into view we are going into a curve on a shear cliff side no guard rail on this old dirt road I try to turn but I start to skid and before I can act we are airborn rolling.In those few moments time slows well it feels like it slows. I look over and see my gorgeous wife grabbing her belly and the roof handle screaming looking forward in pure fear.an angel if they have ever walked the earth I love her. My beloved dog in the back buckled in likewise scared, always loving, loyal and strong. I love her too. My unborn child i have already started to love them. us all drifting in the air like a dream. At that moment, without thinking, two words left my mouth, “ I'm sorry” and then black.

_____________________________________________________________
I'm laying on something cold and smoothish. The air smells stale and old. Slowly I open my eyes but it doesn't do much, its pitch black. Feeling my body it's fine, no clothes but fine as I go to stand up, I don't notice the pain age has set into me which is nice.” where the hell am i” back to me in my own voice “hell am i hell am i hell am i…….” well it's enclosed so maybe a cave but no idea. Ok let's think step by step i was on my way home from visiting my family and ..oh no.. ashlynn..ditzy.. Are they ok.. Wait, am I dead ? I mean this might be purgatory. Well where is the old reaper maybe if i call out. “ hello” echoing back “hello hello hello…” well that did nothing i guess i need to start moving looks like nothing else is going to happen. I start by walking with my hands outstretched until I find a wall and follow it for a while. This feels aimless but it's all I have to do I guess.Eventually I see something in the distance around a curve in the cave. And start to smell cooking meat and fire. PEOPLE, maybe they can help me. As I turn the curve I don't see people. Well people as i know them. What I do see is hard stomach accompanied by the smell of rot. They have two arms and legs, Four of them, all around a fire clad in what looks like old leathers with nothing but stone and wood tools. Maybe 4ft tall white green skin jagged teeth covered in blood. On a tree limb over the fire looks like a person also more my size but not human it had a tail. But had is the big word, most of its body is skinless and limbs are missing. Organs in a pile against a wall with a pile of bones and skulls of many types.
I pull back into the dark and almost throw up. Doing my best not to make any noise.
Ok so obviously danger but this feels like the way out it was uphill so i have to get past them. Ill call them goblins looks close enough ugly fuckers.so plan i dont see myself sneaking past them and scarring them off is unlikely im mostlikely just food and i dont want to wait them out i dont know if they need to come this way i need to surprise them. Luckily i'm good in a fight growing up in a backwoods mountain town i got in a lot of fights and my time in jail so i know i can fight them but i need a weapon to fight weapons.the bones may be my best shot they weren't that far to my right i can probably get something to fight with out of that pile and then just let instincts kick in. Well, let's not die two times in one day.
Creeping back around they are making cackling noises ripping flesh off the poor sap's body.as slowly as my large form can manage i inch over to the bones and right out i see a broken antler it looks like a 7 point but more straight than normal not important.i grab it and they dont notice just yet until i bump a skull.and it rolls down the pial. Klank klank klank “fuck” and they are already up to their feet make shift weapons in hand cackling something running at me quikly i kick some bones their way tripping the first as his friends run past him.
I hold my ground and charge screaming like a mad man seeing the axe? Coming my way I try to block with the antler but I get two hits to the legs in the process. Shoving forward one antler point stabs into this one's eye and I lift, picking it up off the ground by its eye socket and swing slamming into the one to my left with the body of the center goblin. coming back to smack the other one in the teeth with my [bone club] breaking teeth and knocking it over as the first one comes from behind me jumping onto my back biting into my shoulder. With my left hand I grab it and slam it into the ground shattering its legs and will to fight apparently. I back up to find my back against the wall and three damaged goblins closing in. well looks like brute force is a winner here. And I drop my good shoulder and charge like I learned in football and slam the two on the left, crushing them but getting some new wounds to show for it.getting up as fast as i can i get one good whack to the back of the head and almost go unconscious . swinging my [bone club] back it hits the last goblin center mass and it crumples.
None killed but all unable to fight and out of spite i plunge a spike into each of their heads and sit.looking over myself i may be bleeding out so against my bodies better instincts i use the antler to hold a rock over the fire until i feel it hot enough to seal a wound and one after the other i carterize my many wounds shut. And then just calm down. That may have only taken half a minute but it's been a while since I fought for my life. After giving myself maybe half an hour I get up and move what's left of this guy off the fire. Using some leftover wood I make what I can of a torch and start moving forward. Eventually I see a dim light not fire this time from what I can tell. Eventually I see what looks like an exit. It's dark but a clearing in some trees. Full moon. No 5 moons and one big full moon. Well this proves it I'm not on earth anymore.

"well damn looks like i have been Isekaied that has raised a lot of questions" so i guess i need to let that sit in. I pull back into the dark cave and put out my torch by just smothering it in dirt. i would like to say i got right to work but im not perfect and anything that could have heard me probably felt like the crying beast of a man is best left be. And I fell asleep. The dreams were odd to say the least but mostly just reliveing pain. But it leaves quickly after I wake up. I'm hungry and thirsty and I know where to get food but I don't know if I want to eat it. But again not many options for now i grab my torch and go back down the cave. It's dark but luckily the fire still has embers and loose firewood around so I rekindle the fire and.. Eat.. sorry dude but you don't need that leg. Atleast i didnt get something like a cannibal title or something. I need to fix that charisma I guess. But looking over my stats that by the way look sort of like a screen without borders and translucent. Faintly blue. it is my favorite color of blue too so that's nice. Looking around I collect all the uhm “meat” and cook it. no salt to keep so i char it to make it last a little longer i also just make a pile of things that can be used it is nasty work but i get to it.
It's been about 3 hrs of organizing but i have everything sorted in here and to my luck i fund a bag of things under the bones its old and pretty stinky but it has simple stuff some rope about 50 ft 3 real torches some food that is most definitely bad maybe useful for something else tho. And some basic eating utensils: a small knife with what looks like a wide fork, cup and a wood plate. There was a book but it is too soaked to be used sadly just kindling for now or may be just try t clean the paper and dry it i dont know just yet. i do take the leather cover off tho. All together i have
*3 stone axes
*Backpack
*Rope 50 ft
*Meskit
*4 torches
*A Lot of rotten food
*About 200lb of rotting organs
* 120lb of charred “meat”
* maybe enough leather to make shoes and a loin cloth.
*and 3 days worth of firewood
*2 inch thick slab of wet paper
So now all I need is water. I grab some meat with the three axes and put them in the backpack.
Then without too much class I make shoes and loin cloth.it does not look good i look like a pail hairy bloody ogre. “Well this is my swamp now fuckers” i laugh to myself. Light my torch for my left hand and my bone club in my right. I go back down the cave and to my surprise it's not much bigger. Yes, bigger than any home I've ever had but not huge. That goblin hang out looks like the biggest about the size of a 3 bedroom home and a good 60ft tall at random places.
As I go down I find a few strange places. The first stinks but I can guess why it's the main rot pile for the goblins. And shit I presume. What is cool is purple glowing mushrooms on the floor and blue glowing moss on the roof. So I know where to throw shit i just need to see if those are dangerous. Next is a group of pools of water, three small ones bubbling one looks like it's moving from one wall and out another and one big one in the center with a few fish and glowing algae in it.well that's good that is probably also food long term. Around a few bends I find a room with some ore veins. I don't catch what they are though and a few glowing gems. Looks like 3 of different colors brown gray and blue all stuck in the wall in different veins. I'll leave that be maybe magic bullshit i do have magic but apparently my soul has none so i think it best i leave that be. And lastly is a pit. And when i say pit i mean i can see down there the walls have the same blue glow of the moss but i can't see the bottom it just keep going even dropping a rock i don't hear shit.thats a little scary i need to block this off for now i don't need that behind me in my new base. Base I just moved here and I'm already thinking of this as my new home. Well food and water is nice and shelter i just need to protect it. I know people like things exist but i'm not looking to meet them until i can get better people skills.
For the rest of the day,I cleaned up. It may be a cave but it's my cave. I also get some blue moss and try to put it in other places around then I clean the intestines in one of the boiling pools and use bone and rope to dry it infront of my cave. It may not look like much but I need building supplies fast and it works. I also tried the axes on the rock and that's useless. So I go to the clearing and peel bark off tree after tree and until dark I close off the entrance with bark walls and bone supports with dried intestines and cooked fat with charcoal and dirt for a weak cement.
I saw there is a small hole in the roof so the smoke just drifts out. Also a worry about rain.
The moment I seal up the entrance and go to lay down near the fire. A marker pops up with two choices
DO YOU WISH TO CLAIM THIS CAVE AS YOURS
YES/NO
Well that is strange but sure why not I need this to be mine can't have it taken.
So i think yes before i tap it and then a new pop up appears.
DESIGNATE THE WAY YOU WANT TO ADVANCE THIS SIMPLE CAVE
DUNGEON
BASE
HOME
SHELTER
“Oh well, I didn't expect options. I'm going to need to think about this. what is the difference they all seem to be the same thing”
INQUIRY DETECTED ANSWERING
DUNGEON
This designation can occur naturally and never have an owner; it will then have a mind of its own and move forward under its own will. If a [BASE] is moved into the designation [DUNGEON] then all but the owner will be made {RESIDENTS} or {DWELLERS} depending on many categories. It will have a mind of its own but in the cast of an owner being present the core will act as an advisor role. It is common for no residents to exist at first or ever. This designation can trigger its own localized minor events almost perpetually but will be able to maintain them for the most part and major events occasionally. This designation can spawn its own defense, upgrades and expansion at the cost of arcana and will have a core to defend. If destroyed and the owner remains it will revert to the lowest rank dungeon and the advisor will die. Spawning a new core and advisor. All upgrades lost and all spawners destroyed. Along with all spawned {DWELLERS} turning feral.
BASE
This designation is for larger areas and usually large amounts of individuals but not exclusively and meant for permanent inhabitation. With time and enough individuals can move to the [VILLAGE] designation. But if it never meets the right prerequisites but is fully upgraded it can at the choice of the owner be moved into the [DUNGEON] designation. Or it can remain a [BASE] for as long as ownership is passed onto another individual before the death of the owner or a hair remains in place. This designation can trigger frequent minor and occasional major events.
HOME
This designation partains to places meant for long term living not just survival and can have major improvements and is meant for months to years of living. Many improvements can be made, few expansions can be made tho and only minor differences can be erected. If major improvements are made until there are none left to make and all minor traps are established then it will automatically move into the [BASE] designation. This designation can trigger only minor events.
SHELTER
This designation is temporary as this [SHELTER] can be changed into any other designation or left at any time at no cost or penalty. Does not trigger major or minor events and only minor improvements can be made. If improvements continue past a certain point it will automatically move into the [HOME] designation.
This designation is meant for days to weeks of habitation but longer if nothing changes.
Well that is a lot to look over i mean the event things seem like danger to me. An advisor sounds cool but I'm not ready for all that yet at least pluss i have no arcana so the dungeon is out. And a village wasn't on here to pick so I guess it is an upgrade path I can take if I get enough people living here but with my charisma I don't see that happening. And i don't know how long i'll be staying here so my best bet will be shelter so i guess i'll go with that.
DO YOU CHOOSE SHELTER
YES/NO
I tap yes and it goes away so not much seems to have changed but i think there is more to see if i ask and look with my stats. I'll have to look into that after i get somethings setup here i see my best bet to keep this place a shelter until i find something better or can get strong enough to protect a home and i see dungeon as the end goal if i stay here sounds like to much of a game but i can live with that. I guess I will look over all the info I can find and try to get more info about everything and try not to break down too much. I guess emotional control is right, it's not perfect. I'll also need to look into my traits and skills. They look strange to me, less like things i can do and more descriptive about me than anything.
