Chapter 1
"Finally I made it,"

Frank said as he slightly but tiredly pressed his foot against the brakes to stop his car as Frank's car slowed down into the parking space of a dirt patch his imagination took hold as he wondered what he had planned for this summer. Oh, right his plans were just one simple word

"Nothing!" Frank smiled sleepily as the idea of sleep sounded wonderful because of school and his job making it so he had at least 5 hours of sleep.
As his plans were simple knowing that he could request the scholarship at a later date he turned the car's knob to Park as he stepped out and began unpacking his things.

At the small house for what he planned to be staying for a couple of months before going and applying for a different time to use the scholarship from the college even though he should have gone before leaving his high school after graduation and getting college over and done with.

Witch in Frank's personal opinion was kinda stupid to waste time like that but everyone needs a break from time to time and this was his break and yes Frank would already know people who would be fighting his choice on the matter.

'But you win some you lose some.' Frank thought as he unpacked his car he was unaware of the dark clouds rolling in. then he heard the thunder and lightning in the distance. Which surprised the new graduate as the weather was supposed to be sunny for the whole week but he just shrugged and continued the tasks at hand 'I didn't know it was gonna rain if I knew that I would have brought a coat' until the freak storm arrived.

"Great just... great," Frank said to nobody in particular as it slowly began to storm outside. As Frank said, "this can't get any worse " while getting to the tv he brought and switched it on and began to channel surf as it downpoured outside. till he found a channel which seemed interesting but due to his travels he fell unconscious as the rain helped him go to sleep finally getting a good amount of rest. In a long while

Frank had passed out for a couple of hours as the rain seemed to have eased up a bit but just enough to show it wasn't ending soon. But Frank was in bliss getting a good amount of sleep finally before starting his day until he heard tapping? Soft at first but slowly turned into knocking which woke Frank slowly from his heavenly peace.

'What the hell is that sound?' He said to himself as Frank looked out the window and saw nothing but a decent amount of rain hitting the glass and empty darkness but for a second he saw a flash of something. Just before a clap of thunder blocked out whatever flashed

'It was nothing I guess" frank thought thinking it was just the thunder striking the ground before planting himself back into the bed as he would fall back to sleep. But the sounds of tapping returned this time quicker than before the second time which made Frank groan annoyed as Frank had enough. Rolling out of bed he puts on his clothes while sighing heavily thinking someone was pulling a prank on him "I swear to god if I go out there and someone is messing with me." Frank said as he went outside and left the safety of his summer house and went out into the cold stormy night to find out who in God's name was messing with him and better yet how did they find him? He hadn't told anyone where he was going before he left.

After walking for about four hours in the cold stormy weather frank was beyond pissed at this ongoing 'joke' that was happening to him as he had enough of this.

And was about to go back as he'd been walking for almost seven miles now looking for these jokesters "I've had enough of this shit!" He said before the light appeared this time in the field in front of him which angered him finally "Caught you!" He yelled as frank ran at the light he ran into a rock and fell over and breaking his nose with a nasty crunching sound as blood came out of his nose slowly.

"Goddamit," Frank said as his hands shot up to his nose to cover and stop the red life-giving liquid to stop leaking from his broken nose he cursed up a storm from pain as frank shoved himself off the offending rock and looked down to see...a golden ring? It seemed to shine softly as frank bent down to pick the ring up it didn't look too jaw-dropping just a normal gold ring with some writing on and around it.

After blinking back the tears of pain while Chuckling lightly "Are you kidding, me? I walked all this way in the middle of nowhere for a god Damn. RING?!" He yelled the last word as frank wanted to throw it away from himself disgusted at finding this and not the people who were pranking him.

But frank stopped himself as he looked closer at the ring as he reads the texted or tried to in the dark as it glowed with power and energy as frank shook his head "What the hell, is this supposed to be? A fake gold ring or did I just find a near priceless artifact " He asked himself as he started to get cockier with having a ring that he thought wasn't a real ring of power "So if this was a real ring of power if I put it on it should heal my nose over time."

"Hell! Even near instantly!" He said as he sighs to himself 'I can't believe I'm gonna do this I can already see it now on the internet *nerd follows us into the woods and puts on a golden ring thinking it was a ring of power from the lord of the rings*'.

As frank slowly slipped the ring onto his finger while closing his eyes...after putting it on he felt nothing different as he was about to take his first step with the ring on then he felt a sudden wave of strange energy it felt dark and evil but deep down on the inside it felt neutral and that's when our main character collapsed and fell unconscious...

Frank didn't know how long he was unconscious for God knows how long but when he came to it was still raining. So that's good he hadn't been moved from where he had collapsed as he began to slowly and got to his feet, his limbs feeling numb and delayed as it felt like Frank was a baby all over again. As the sounds of faint whispers were all around him

walking was a new challenge for Frank s his body was slow as he looked around the forest that he entered seemed different. It looked like it was stolen from a cartoon as everything seemed bright or had a form of light being produced by the plants. As frank wondered in the direction he thought his summer home was but little did he know he was walking towards Montville as frank walked he had forgotten about his broken nose which somehow fully healed from his earlier fall.

As he walked the wind started to pick up blurring as rainwater slammed into his face like a showerhead on its highest setting. While frank covered his head 'What the hell is this storm? I should have looked up the weather before leaving And why is my nose no longer hurting. didn't I break the damn thing?' he said now realizing that it wasn't hurting, was it the adrenaline? Or was it because he blacked out? Or too much blood loss?

As he walked frank found a can't slowly walk in and sat down on a rock to sleep off this odd feeling and wait for the storm to end

Author's Note

This is my first ever story I'm sorry if it's not the greatest! With grammar, I've been busy with school and I start my job on Monday next week so I'm lacking free time! And please go easy on me I tried to post the first chapter as the fanfics long description! Also like this if you want to see more as I'm trying to keep it very open with ideas and i'd loved to hear with other people want to maybe add or just to ask questions!
And I'll be doing maintenance when I can so that the stores can have proper indentation and proper grammar so
