I opened my eyes. The warm light met my eyes. I was partly shocked because I saw 8 completely new people, but I was not in shock at all. I mean, I died, right? Though it is strange that I feel like I am alive, that would not be the case.
And even if I am alive, well... I didn't think about that. But anyway, what worse could happen? I will just chill here and lay my butt at whatever this thing I am sitting at. A few seconds later, I am already bored.
Guess I'll just look at these people in here. What do we have here? Hmm. Remember when I said that there are eight strangers in here? 7 of us plus I are circling this dude in front of us. The man was wearing a white robe with white some sort of a shirt inside, as well as white pants.
I have no idea if this man is an angel or something, but whatever. Anyways, except for the man and me, there were 2 more girls and 5 more men. Now, I might sound like I am a psycho or weird or a creep or something, but all of them are looking good.
"All right. I think everyone is now awake." The man murmured. "Good day, everyone!" The man said with a face full of joy.
Now that I know that his appearance and attitude is like that, -- for now, at the very least -- I would worry about nothing. The only thing I need to know is if I am alive or not. I pinched myself three times, and all I felt is pain. Now I know that everything is real.
"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."
For a few moments, there was only silence. Then, the third person to my left talked.
"Tell me why and how exactly I should believe you? And who are you?" The woman said calmly.
"Thank you for asking that question, Miss Nibria." The man said while smiling. "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 third person to my right.
I kinda think that this man knows us all. He sounds like a stalker, but, as I said, what worse could happen?
"And you, Mr. Harold Catasty. I know you and your parents, and how talented you are." The man pointed at the man at my right.
"And you, Miss Nibria. I know about... your Aunt and Uncle." The man added with a somewhat weird voice.
I'm no special person or anything, but their faces tell that something that they hide is revealed by this man.
I might become a bad woman for siding with this man, but he seems like a trustworthy person, as he didn't specify or revealed anything to all of us, despite him knowing everything he knows about us, presumably.
"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 answered the question casually.
Now he definitely is entertaining to watch. I believe him though.
"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 explained.
"... 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?" Said the man on my left.
"Good observation, Mister Vernon," Xanth replied.
"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."
"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 explained.
How I wish all of this is just a dream. Kidding, of course, I want to live in this fantasy world. Aside from worrying about my life from now on, and living with life in danger 24/7, everything is still fun. To me, at least.
"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." The man explained.
"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."
Wait a minute... I get my own island?! Now that is something I don't think I can and will have! Hah, jokes on you, past life. I get my own island now.
Okay, I am getting too excited. Jeez, I would be dead if I let my excitement take over my mind. It is fine to be excited since it is only natural, but I also need to take care of my safety. I am still reluctant about the others, but I think I can manage.
Also, I remember the man saying something about us having Magic. Everything is so fun!
All of a sudden, a scroll appeared in front of me. I caught it before it fell to the ground and immediately opened it. I had a minor headache, but I ignored it out of my excitement on seeing something Teleport in front of me. Magic, in general.
I tried to read the scroll, but then my vision began to be blurry, and I became nauseous. I fell to the ground, and my consciousness faded. With my very tired and painful head, I could only think of one thing.
I will not die, not until I became the happiest being in the whole galaxy.
