Today was an rather unremarkable day. Sure, there may have been that dimension-hopping kobold's execution- but all things considered it's still a rather uneventful week. (you're still not sure where he came from, given kobolds are really only supposed to exist in d&d-nor the reason for his execution.) No gang warfare, no car chases, no murders either- just a perfectly normal week aside from a dimension-hopping lizard being sentenced to execution by being fed to a fellow transdimensional traveler by the name of Jeff. Not that most of that really mattered anyway- you're a tech at a rural ISP, not a city cop or a judge. Besides, why bother worrying about things like that when work is closing and you've got yourself a some beef stew waiting at home? You grab your things, say goodbye to your coworkers and head out the door.
10 minutes later you're at home and eating dinner. It turns out your stew didn't have enough salt- bummer, but easily remedied. You quickly finish your meal and head to bed. As you'refalling asleep, you hear what sounds like thunder or some sort of explosion- and see a bright flash of red light before you lose consciousness.
...
Shit.
You've got a massive headache, seem to be temporarily blinded, and everything about your body feels off. Before you can ponder whether you've been isekai'd, you hear a voice yelling in your direction.
>"Hey! Are you alright?! I couldn't get you to wake up earlier, you were about as conscious as a brick."
You say you've got a bad headache and seem to be temporarily blinded, but are otherwise okay. Aside from just feeling weird in general you guess. Maybe something seems off about your voice, but it's hard to tell when it feels like your skull is about to split apart.
>"Good to know. We don't see raptors like you often around here."
Raptors?
>"Of course silly. You didn't hit your head hard enough to forget what species you are, did you? Anyway, get on the cart and we'll head to my village."
Fuck, so you have been isekai'd. At least being some sort of dinosaur isn't the worst way for it to go. You'll get a better look at yourself once you arive in that village.
