You take a drink.

If the water is cold to the touch, it is a strike of liquid ice as it flows down your throat.

As it settles in your stomach, you feel your head clear, a fog you hadn't noticed creeping in now gone. (how long has it been, since you last felt this aware and present? years? longer?)

You feel wide awake and refreshed.

The water drips from your lips as you straighten up again.

Then,

You turn back to look.

The Door is not there to go back through. (are you surprised? Or did you expect it to be so, even before you turned?)

The cold still waters stretch around you in every direction.

Below, at the water's edge, you spot a boat.

You lean over the side and look down into the water.

The ground looks like ice but feels sturdy and easy to walk on.

When you look over the side, you can see the water appears deep and still.

When you look closer, you think you see lights in the water, far below you.

You cautiously dip a hand into the water.

Brrr! Wow, that's cold!

At least it feels like normal water.

You lean over the side and look down into the water.

The ground looks like ice but feels sturdy and easy to walk on.

When you look over the side, you can see the water appears deep and still.

When you look closer, you think you see lights in the water, far below you.

You walk back around and step through the Door

It feels just like stepping through any other door.

Then you inhale the cold air of Somewhere Else in your lungs.

Enormous pillars dot the landscape, rising above icy, eerily calm waters. Above you, a cold, dark star burns at the edges.

In front of you, there is a some kind of path across the water.

#good morning #rb

Congratulations and thank you for voting!

You can find the next choice here to vote on the next step, but know that wherever we go from here, there was always the option to ignore it all and keep on walking. 1

1. I'm glad we didn't though-- it will be much more exciting this way :}

You walk around to see it from the other side (investigate)

...huh.

Well that's strange.

It seems like there's no Door from this side.

If you like Dungeon Meshi, why not try out Heterogeneous Linguistics?

It follows the student of a monster anthropologist tasked with learning about monster culture himself. In doing so he learns that every monster species has their own communication style and own way of overcoming their language barrier.

Like werewolves:

Slimes:

and Kraken!

Heterogeneous Linguistics covers all kinds of monsters, both humanoid and not.

Not only that, it explores the culture of the monster world, untouched by humans, where communities connected by the travelers between them have their own independent ways of living that he must learn as he travels deeper into the country.

An absolutely fascinating manga that I think takes Dungeon Meshi's "what if monsters were animals" and pushes it all the way to "what if monsters were people, even if they had nothing in common with humans".

All told alongside a little half-human half-werewolf girl, who, on account of being a child, perceives these differences as intuitive and can't explain a damn thing.

Kind Friends, let's tell a story together.

One day you're walking through the woods.

In front of you is a Door Between Two Trees.
