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.

          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…

    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.

      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.”

    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.

      We should split up to explore more efficiently!

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