I came to my senses, lying on my back and gazing up at the sky. The clouds were floating on gently by, and I could hear birds chirping in the distance.

I clambered to my feet, noticing my body didn’t hurt at all. As I surveyed my surroundings, I took note of mountains and grassy plains all around me. I could see a large tree in the distance. Plus, I thought I could make out a road next to it as well.

There was no mistaking it, I was in another world.

“Guess I’ll just walk the road and see if I run into anyone.” My immediate checkpoint in sight, I set off toward the big tree. Upon reaching it, I got a better look at things. I was right! There was a road nearby.

“Now... left or right, that is the question.” I pondered my options beneath the shade of the giant tree.

The nearest landmark to my right looked to be an hour’s walk away. Off to the left, I could make out a town. It was probably eight hours by foot... As I was lost in thought, my smartphone began to ring. The Caller ID was listed as “God.”

“Hello?”

“Ooh! It went through! I see that you have arrived safely.” I could hear God’s voice as I held the phone close to my ear. We’d only just parted, but it felt as though we were talking for the first time in forever.

“I forgot to mention one thing. The maps and compasses and such on your phone should be compatible with this world now. I hope they help you out some!”

“Wow, really? That’s great timing, actually. I was a little bit lost, and wondering where I should go.”

“I had assumed so. I could have just as easily dropped you in the middle of a town, but think of the panic that would ensue. I had thought you would rather avoid that, so I dropped you off where nobody would see you instead. Of course, that brings us to the problem of you being lost in the middle of nowhere.”

“Heh, yup,” I answered with a somewhat wry smile. It was only natural I’d be lost. I didn’t have a destination, a hometown, or even any acquaintances.

“If you follow your map, you should be able to reach the nearest town without incident. Do your best out there. Goodbye.”

“Will do. Later.” As the call ended, I went back to the home screen, located the map application, and opened it up. My location was displayed in the very center of the map. A road stretched out right alongside that point. This must have been the very road I was looking at. Zooming further out, I took note of the town to the west. It was... Reflet? The town of Reflet.

“Well, I guess that’s where I’m headed.” Firing up a simple compass app, I took heed and headed west.
