Chapter one.

  Out in a small field mike found himself digging the land with a simple iron hoe. He was just beginning to get accustom to his new life after the day he found himself engulfed and sent to this unknown land. He was also not alone three other men were also breaking up the soil alongside mike.

  When mike found himself in this unknown place he apparently had fallen from the sky dropped like a stone. At lest that's what the local seem to say. Mike didn't understand there language at first, but thanks to there superstitious believes they treated him with dignity. With that he was able to live in this small village and after a couple of months he began to understand the local language.

  Of corse he couldn't just live off the locals generosity forever so he began to work out in the fields. Luckily he loved gardening back home and studied agriculture on his free time giving him skills that have Proven to be quite useful.

  Looking up from the field mike was reminded of the fact he might not be on earth. As to the west were the sun rise every morning was a massive tower of glazed black. Its tip reached high like a skyscraper, easily imposing itself.

  He remembered looking at it for the first time. It made him feel small, helpless and filled him with anxiety. He couldn't understand the locals at the time so he wasn't able to understand that they themselves felt the same if not more terrified.

  Although Mike still felt like he was on earth due to the fact that the people here spoke old English. Some of the cloths also looked like those he saw of a Anglo-Saxon display in a museum.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  He didn't know for sure but he was sure glade that his love for Tolkien lead him down a rabbit hole and into learning old English. So instead of taking a couple of years to be able to speak fluently he needed a couple of months.

  The tower appeared two days before he arrived, some of the locals thought he was somehow connected to it. Mike himself doesn't know but having found himself in such a situation he's has been trying to help the locals on anything he can.

  Which is where he finds himself today as winter just past and spring is in full swing. Mike wanted to use his understanding of agriculture to introduce some tricks that helped him out when gardening.

  He finished tiling tha soil and reached for a pouch tried to his waist. Thin pulled out a small piece of potato. This was something mike brought with him. It was also not the only thing he brought.

  Last year when he arrived he brought with him his clothes and his book bag something he had cared around. It just so happened that he bought a bunch of heirloom seeds for a new garden. One of those being a bag of potato starter's.

  Mike bent over and planted a new little potato starter. And used his had to cover it into a mound. Mike then moved on and planted another potato starter.

  Last year he convinced some locals to start his own garden of exotic vegetables. There he grew some of the seeds, like bell pepper, jalape?o pepper, tomato, and potatoes. At first he was afraid that the locals wouldn't like the more spicy stuff but it turns out that normal black pepper doesn't exist and salt was mostly used to preserve things like meat. Garlic was the main way to spice up food here.

  It turns out as mike would discover. That introducing new flavors to a very limited pallet is quiet popular. Although the super spicy stuff like jalape?o was not as well received as his more sweet bell pepper, but jalape?o as a dried power was often added to the food prepared in a ceramic pot.

  Thinking about all the seeds he still hadn't planted mike could here someone calling out to him.
