One way is to hint at a problem or conflict right from the start. For example, 'Once upon a time, in a kingdom ruled by greed, a young peasant dared to dream of change.' You can also start with a description of a mysterious place. Such as, 'Once upon a time, deep within an enchanted forest...'

Well, you could introduce characters right away. Say, 'Once upon a time, there was a brave knight named Arthur.' Or you could describe the weather or the time of day to build the atmosphere. Like, 'Once upon a time, on a cold and stormy night...'
