Then, I was with 8 more people.
'What in the world is happening?!' I asked myself to no avail.
I myself don't what is happening, but it seems like I am kidnapped? However, there are no signs of bruises or wounds in my body, and I don't feel pain as well. To cut it short, the kidnapping question is not that accurate in this situation.
And come to think of it, I have died, right? Then why on Earth am I here?
...Okay, let us first analyze the situation. Obviously, as I have said earlier, I was with 8 more people, 2 women -- excluding me -- and 5 men, one standing in the middle of us.
All of us are circling the man, and he was looking at the sky wearing a bright and rather happy face.
Then, the man looked at all of us.
"All right. I think everyone is now awake." The man whispered to himself. "Good day, everyone!" The man cheered.
Everyone was silent as if they were wanting the man to continue. I took a deep breath and focused.
"I know you all have a ton of questions in your minds, but please do not be worried. I am here to explain everything... You all have been chosen to live another life." The man added.
After a brief amount of silence, a woman 2 persons away from my right talked.
"Tell me why and how exactly I should believe you? And who are you?" Said the woman.
"Thank you for asking that question, Miss Nibria." The man replied, 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 person on my right.
"And you, Mr. Harold Catasty. I know you and your parents, and how talented you are." The man continued, now pointing at the person on my left.
"And you, Miss Nibria. I know about... your Aunt and Uncle." He now pointed at the woman who asked earlier.
Creeper much? How in the world does he know at least some information about us?
Another awkward silence was heard. I mean, who wouldn't be silent when someone just told some things about you.
"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 said, almost casually.
Oh. Now he talks about some insane things. Whatever, let's just go with it. Though, I won't believe anything without proof.
"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 named Xanth 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?" Asked the person 2 people away on my left.
"Good observation, Mister Vernon." The man 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 stopped talking.
I am extremely confused. What in the heavens did I just hear? First, I thought I died. Second, I was with other people and a weird man talking about some Magic thing that I myself, a Technologist, highly doubts. And to top all of it, he said that every single one of us is special.
Gosh, this makes it more confusing. And yes, I still don't believe this man, -- and I most likely would not -- since he still has not given me any sign or proof that everything he is blabbering is true or not.
"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." The man stopped talking.
Another whole bunch of unbelievable things. this makes it more harder to believe. I do not mean to disrespect him because I have no right to do so, however, seeing as how he talks these unimaginable things, I can't help but not believe.
I closed my eyes and calmed myself down. Then, I opened my eyes, and then a white blue ash-like substance began to form, and before I knew it, a scroll was built.
I was astonished at what I had just seen. Just to make everything sure, I pinched myself as hard as I can, and I felt pain. I waited for a few seconds, but nothing except for the scroll to fall down happened.
'Is this the proof that I have been asking for?' I thought to myself.
Then, my body began to fall down to the ground, my eyes slowly closing.
'Now, I believe."
