Die, probably.
Probably quite quickly, if the train was traveling at any significant speed when all of a sudden it had no tracks under it.
Go on Slack and say Iβm going to miss the daily stand-up.
This is a person who has been isekai'ed into work
what are you talking about that's literally already how underground trains already work
What trains are you going on, lol
One ticket to wherever heβs going please!
First thing, try and breathe to see if the unknown new world has an atmosphere compatible with the one I'm accustomed to. If not, I guess I'm dead.
Second thing, determine if I'm in a wasteland / nature setting, or a civilized one.
Third, regardless of the answer to the second, take stock of my current resources and seek new ones. Water is highest priority, food second, shelter third.
See how much insulin I have left in my pump and start preparing myself mentally for death.
Well congratulations to our newest isekai v~~ict~~olunteer! While traveling through the portal your body absorbed magical energy and you gained a new power! The power you have gained is... The ability for your insulin pump to never run empty! Now go out and fight demons and monsters, once you have slain the demon lord you may return back to your original world, and as a bonus you will keep your power that you received!
Wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and⦠smell the ashes.
I don't remember seeing you get on...
Hey you, you're finally awake.
I'd seriously worry about not having immunity to whatever diseases exist in that world, and the people of that new world not having immunity to whatever I might be carrying from my world.
Probably try and figure what the skills of the other survivors on the train to assemble a team with the goal of survival and information gathering.
Pending Train is pretty darn close to what you're describing. I only got through the first episode, it falls prey to a lot of annoying little tropes, but it's a cool concept for sure.
It is, yeah! I'd never heard of that, thanks for sharing.
I would be shocked for sure but how would I know how to react if I don't know what this new world is like? Does it look like a barren wasteland? Does it look like Dinotopia? Does it look like a different planet altogether? When you say 'unknown', is it unknown to me only or do you mean it's completely devoid of any civilized/intelligent species?
It is exactly like our world, only all doors that you expect to open outwards, actually open inwards, and vice versa.
Check for my super cheat powers and pick the first woman for my isekai harem.
I'm thinking odds are it's either a busty elf or a cat girl π
Isekai harems are "all of the above."
Hey sometimes they are flat chested autistic girls or 7,000-year-old dragons who happen to look like a 9-year-old.
Personally I'm interested in neither but I've read a lot of manga
Check if wifi/mobiledata still works.
It does not.

Well I mean first off if everyone on the train was there you would want to discuss how to procede given the unknown part. I think the one person has it right in that I can't think of something like it before narnia.
1, get really annoyed that whatever plans I had are now changed because I'm not super good at paradigm shifts.
2, try to make the best of it because I really believe we bring our own good time.
Stay the hell on the train. Observe what happens to other passengers when they get curious.
Fight the urge to immediately get off the train.
Even with as many episodes of Star Trek as I've seen, I'm sure I'd want to rush right out and start exploring.
We should split up to explore more efficiently!
Ohh, this small creature in the underbrush looks adorable! I'm going to pick it up.
Probably just sit and wait for what happens next and hope all the people around me don't freak out.
I lived in Japan for years without knowing about the whole isekai thing; I've just never really been into anime/manga.
Assuming I survived in fairly good health?
Observe. No details would make me skittish with this
I'd shit myself.
Seize the day
Iβd hope this one is better than whatβs in the rear view mirror.
Also, happy cake day!
Oh, thanks! Didn't realise it was my cake day.
Have you played Kult because it looks like the thing which can happen in that game
Immediately gather any crumbs.
Happy cake day!
Find the author of the isekai that had made it happen and punch them in the taint
So you would assume you're in a story. Interesting. If it happened to me, I would first think I'm dreaming, then the real world. But I wouldn't think I was in a story.
