What I saw astounded me. I was with another person, a lot of them, actually. There were 9 of us in total, and 8 of us were surrounding a man in the middle. I looked at all of the persons, and 3 of them were still unconscious.
What happened? Don't ask me, I don't know myself either. Based on experience, this is not kidnapping or anything like that. Then what is the point of this? I died, right> Though I doubt that death... ugh, I'm so confused.
Okay. Keep calm. Asking pointless questions can never help you in these kinds of situations. Hmmm. Wild guess, but I think the man is responsible for all of this stuff. My "death", these people, and specifically, my body.
I remember myself "dying" from a gunshot, and right now, I don't feel any kind of pain, soreness, or even fatigue. There's not even a scar on my wrist, shoulder, or knee. And if that's not weird enough, none of my bones are broken, my eyes are fine, and my fingers are complete. Am I dreaming?
I looked at everyone and noticed that all of us are now awake. I respect all of them already for staying calm in this kind of situation. However, they still might be one of the men in the middle. I definitely wish not.
"All right. I think everyone is now awake." The man said softly to himself. "Good day, everyone!" The man added with a joyous tone.
I looked at everyone. No one talked, let alone move their mouths. Of course, I myself as well, wanted to listen to this man on what is happening, since he is the only one who knows about what happened. That's what I think, at least.
"I know you all have a ton of questions in your minds, but please do not be worried. I am here to explain everything..." The man said. "You all have been chosen to live another life."
Now that is some serious lie he is talking about. I mean, who would fall for that...? Okay, I'm being too hot-headed. I think it might help if I ask the man.
"Tell me why and how exactly I should believe you? And who are you?" I said, but with a calm tone.
"Thank you for asking that question, Miss Nibria." The man said while smiling. How did he know my name?
"I know everything about you. Like you, Mister Niam Dist. I know what happened on your 7th birthday, and what happened after that." The man pointed at the second person to my left. So he knows everybody's information?
I looked at the boy that the man mentioned just now, and I noticed the shock on his face.
"And you, Mr. Harold Catasty. I know you and your parents, and how talented you are." The man pointed at the fourth person to my right. I looked at the man, and I saw him flinch a little.
"And you, Miss Nibria. I know about... your Aunt and Uncle." The man then pointed directly at me. I frowned, looking at the man. So he knows that as well. Huh. I do believe him now.
"Moving on to your next question, "Who am I". Who am I doesn't matter in this stage of your life for now, however, if I am to introduce myself, I am Xanth, and I am a few trillion years of age." The man introduced himself.
That is unbelievable from a normal person's point of view, but I am not normal, so I believe those words. After all, he knows about my Aunt and Uncle. That alone is enough for me to believe. However, I do have a lot of questions.
"Are there any more questions?" The man again smiled and looked at all of us. "Nothing? Good, let us proceed.
"As I have mentioned earlier, all of you are transported here by me and... well it doesn't matter who sent you here. What matters is all of you to adapt in this environment and live."
The man stopped talking, and then the man second to my right talked.
"... You are not gonna say "live" if this is a safe place, right? So my question is, where are we? What is this place? And what is our purpose in here?" The man asked calmly.
"Good observation, Mister Vernon." The man smiled at him. I was just about to ask if he knows every single one of us, and I think it is already answered.
"That is right. This world is not a safe place. This world has Magic in it, which means every single thing in here has Magic, including all of you. However, that applies to other beings as well. I have sent you in this world for you to live another life. A thrilling, free and... you can say... a "fun" one."
Fun?
"As to your second and third question, you are in another world. Specifically, another Galaxy. This Galaxy contains 10 Worlds, and it is called Dimensions. You are currently in the Overworld. I will not explain anything more, because the rest is all up to you in this matter."
"Last one, all of you are here because every single one of you is special." The man said, almost suspiciously cutting his words.
"Let us proceed. I will now explain what I have given to all of you. All of you are given your own island. You all will be teleported to the said island after we finish our conversation. In that island, I have given you all a note, and everything is a secret for now since I don't want some quarrels or anything of the sort."
"You all have different types of islands, and it all has the same size, but with different terrains and positions. The said islands are all yours, and discovering and mapping out everything is up to all of you." The man stopped talking.
Now that is a lot of information.
All of a sudden, a scroll appeared in front of my eyes, immediately falling to the ground. I took the scroll and opened it without hesitation. I saw a lot of words and drawings that I cannot understand, so I looked at everyone.
I noticed that their faces were pale, and moments later, everyone but me and the man named Xanth was the only ones who are not asleep.
The man looked at the sky and whispered some words, and I never heard something, but when the man looked at me, he made a face like when he almost forgot about something.
"You know that forcing me to be unconscious using gas or something won't work, right?" I said to the man.
"Yes, of course." The man replied, and before I could even talk, the man appeared in front of me, and I was lying on the ground.
