Prompt: Jailed After Being Isekai'd

Story 1: Lyle of Noodles

"Ah, finally..." Lyle thought aloud as he lifted the plate off of his bowl of ramen. "It feels like I haven't eaten in ages..." He continued as he grabbed his chopsticks and dove them into his food. Just as he raised his chopsticks to his mouth, he suddenly found himself in a large room with stone floors and giant pillars reaching towards a ceiling around a hundred feet tall. He looked around in surprise as he stood up and put his hand under his noodles and shoved them in his mouth.

As he looked around, he saw several individuals in fancy clothes and a throne with someone that looked like a king. Lyle slurped his noodles into his mouth and quickly chewed them as the surrounding people looked at each other awkwardly. "M-my lord-" A robed man spoke, only to be interrupted.

"What an unsightly man!" A man in a fancy outfit spoke as he looked at the other people around with dismay. "My lord, we will drive him from your presence immediately!" He continued as he clasped his hands and gave a short bow. He turned to Lyle, who is stood in the center of the room, then looked at the guards that line the walls.

'Hang on... What's even happening!? I don't even know how I got here!' Lyle thought as he frantically looked around.

"Guards! Take him away!" He yelled as he pointed at Lyle. The guards began to move towards Lyle as he freaked out.

"H-hang on! What's even happening!?" Lyle exclaimed as fear surged through his mind and he took an unconscious step back. The guards continued to rapidly close in on Lyle and soon had him surrounded. Once he was surrounded, the guards used rope to bind his hands. "Hey! Did you just take my chopsticks!?" Lyle asked. 'Not that it matters, but still! Those are mine!' He thought.

"Be quiet." A guard spoke.

"I don't even know what I did! Why is this even happening!?" Lyle asked.

"You've disrespected the king with your very presence!" The fancy man from before yelled.

"I don't even know how I-" Lyle was cut off as a rope was put into his mouth and tied in place. For a moment, he attempted to speak through it, but to no avail as the guards dragged him away.

"And that's how you got dragged to the dungeon?" A man with shoulder-length brown hair asked.

"Pretty much." Lyle responded. "Have to say, it's not my greatest accomplishment, but it's certainly one of them..." He added as he ran his finger along the cracks between the bricks of his cell.

Story 2: The Abandoned Forest

I don't know how I got into this mess, but I'm currently sitting cold hard ground of a prison cell, and I'm not even in my own world. Oh, and on top of all of that, my appearance has changed. Let me start from the beginning...

It was a normal night at home and I had just finished my homework. I had been a little more tired than usual and had a killer headache, so I went straight to bed, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out

When I woke up, I was no longer in my bed. I opened my eyes and saw grass and trees. I rubbed my eyes while sitting up, thinking maybe I was still dreaming, but even after rubbing my eyes, I was still surrounded by grass and trees. So, I pinched myself. And it hurt...

I quickly got to my feet, sure as shit I was in a forest, which doesn't even make sense, because I don't even live near a forest.

My throat was very dry, and as I was looking around, I spotted a river with a few deer drinking from it. As I approached the river bank, the deer nearest to me looked up as their ears twitched, then continued drinking.

I crouched down and cupped my hands to get water. As I moved my hands to the water, I saw my reflection, which looked different from how I remember. My normal appearance is brown eyes, long black hair, and I'm quite chunky. Also, I'm in college and am twenty-two.

Now, looking at my current reflection, my appearance is red eyes, red shoulder-length hair, and a pair of short black demon horns. I was shocked and I had no idea what was going on! As I sat there dumbfounded, there was a sudden sharp pain in my side and everything went black.

When I woke this time, I was behind bars, all my limbs were chained, and I couldn't move whatsoever. I have no idea why I'm here, and I can't understand anything these people are saying. Though, I've noticed, the shadows listen to me, and I'll be escaping soon. Hopefully then, I can find some answers.
