Editing Summary:The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England

John West wakes up in a field, not remembering how he got there, nor his own name. He is surrounded by a burn mark in the land around him and with the way he is dressed, believes himself to be a cosplayer. He notices a small wooden village nearby and discovers some pages from The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England laying nearby. He learns that he must have traveled willingly somewhere, before hearing voices nearby. He slips into the forest nearby, and listens to two men and a woman discuss the burn mark before heading back to the village. John sees someone else has gathered more of the pages, likely having blown into the town. He decides he will try to get the pages.

John starts sneaking into the village after the people, while discovering that he likes to review things out of five stars. He also remembers he has medical nanites, and possibly other augmentations. John uses the distraction of two men arriving in the village to sneak in, grabbing one of the pages from The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England that happened to be placed outside a stone building, and get into cover beside the towns meeting hall. Here he discovers he is in an alternate dimension, and that he owns it.

Overhearing the end of a conversation between the local lord, and the visitors John had sneaked in after, he deduces the visitors are looking for him. Before he can take any action to show himself to them, he is confronted by two people, a young man and a woman. The man attacks John, but he blocks it with his arm, discovering he must have plating under his skin. Memories disorientating him, he fails to block the wooden plank to the head that the woman swings at him and is knocked unconscious.
