Todd Tulcod, on his way to a new life, wakes up in a desert with nothing but sand in sight.Is he dead? That's the first thing he considers. Regardless, he's stuck in a desert with no way out. Will he survive? Probably not, but he'll try his best!   Note From The Author: Hey everybody! Thanks for checking out my story! This is the first time that I'm sitting down to write one out, and it has been a challenge. This story initially started out with the complaint: "Why don't isekai (portal fantasy) protagonists start in a desert?" With this one, I wanted to explore how difficult life in a desert could be when you're not a gifted or overpowered main character. I spent a lot of time trying to capture the main character's mindset and because of that, the story is slow, so I'm really looking foward to any critisism the average person might have. Anyway! Thanks for reading!
