All the cancelled appointments with friends and skipped family events had led to him having no one he could celebrate his accomplishment with. While reminiscing on what had happened in his life, he was whisked away to another world. One of fantasy and danger.
Lost and trying to survive in a wilderness he doesn't know, Alexei cannot wait for others to help him. He will have to engineer his own hope.
