The King: Over three centuries ago while some of our scholars were out on an expedition in the pursuit of new knowledge, they came across a shooting star that crashed into the ground. They brought it back to our kingdom and have been studying it for centuries and have found it to have many powers that were beyond our understanding and definitely beyond our control. Our scholars have been working to perfect this power for the betterment of humanity, and recently during one of the experiments, the device materialized you into this world, seemingly out of THIN AIR!! 

At first we didn't understand what happened, but upon inspecting your body we realized that you were injured quite badly, as it stands right now our best guess is that you were also someone who possessed a similar object of power and tried to use it to escape at a dire time. Your device must've linked with ours, that is the connection you have with our world. We found this while treating you and we are still working towards learning the truth about your situation and aid you in any way possible.

The King pauses, I stare blankly at him

Me: And then what?

The King: Then what? What do you mean? This is all we know.

Seriously?! That's like the lamest backstory ever!

Oh god! He's still looking at me, I guess he's waiting for me to be surprised by this. I'll just play along.

Me: Oh wow...That's so unbelievable.

The King: I know right!!

The King: Well, get a good night's rest today, because early tomorrow you are leaving with the doctor. You'll act as his assistant while he works.

Me: Wait, WHAT?

The King: You can stay with us, but you have to make yourself useful. Now as much as I'd love to sit and explain all the little details of this world, I think it's more effective to learn through your experience. So go out and learn as much as you can as quickly as you can.

There goes my dreams of just enjoying a peaceful life in the castle, But I can't deny my curiosity about what's out there. I'll just have to find out on my own.

The King: We're gonna need a name to refer to you, and since you don't remember yours I'd like to give you a name, if that's fine by you.

Me: Yes, I'd be honored.

The King: Your name will be Peter.
