Chapter 1: Yo, what is this place?!

Malik Johnson, a straight-up OG from the South Bronx, wakes up in a fantasy world full of knights, magic, and chaos.
No phone signal. No fried chicken. No idea what's going on.
Just instincts, street smarts, and a butterfly knife from Fordham Road.

In a kingdom where everyone speaks like Shakespeare and elves run the streets, Malik isn't here to save the world - he's just tryna survive, eat, maybe flirt with a princess, and get some sleep.

But fate got jokes.

And now Malik's caught up in something way bigger than him.

This ain't your usual isekai. This is The Hood in Re:Zero.
