I appeared in the new reality but didn´t yet have time to inspect my surrounding.
The short trip between realities was not completely instantaneously and extradimensional rollercoaster left me nauseous and disoriented. Had I been even remotely human in anatomy, I would have vomited not just my stomach contend but literally my stomach and any other organs.
After what might have been a few minutes or more, maybe even far less, I came back to my senses and started to inspect my surroundings.
I was standing in what could literally be described as hell. The ground was a mix of sharp, black and red rocks and orange sand that grinds away your feet's. In the distance I could make out rivers of orange, almost red, lava as well as grey and blood red rivers and lakes of what might have been water here.
The sky actually quiet beautiful because you could see all stars unobscured but the shining grey moon and the ceiling of dark red rocks was hiding most of the sky.
The air smelled like sulfur, burnt rubber and other stuff I couldn´t describe. Breathing it was also like flooding your lungs with acid and poison. It truly reminded me of the quote 'Drinking poison to quench thirst'.
But even in this environment that looked like it did its best to prevent anything from living here were signs of life. Near the blood water rivers grew what look like dead trees with strange, pulsating fruits that looked like flesh and hearts and, in the sky, flew strange winged creatures that resembled bats and other birds, except that they were all the size of a truck.
If anyone asked me how I would describe hell, then this would be my answer.
Despite this almost dead land around me, I could feel some other things beyond the hellish veil. Something in the depths of my soul was longing for something like there was something here that was very important to it. The space itself here was weird as well, it felt like it got broken and repaired thousands of times, some wounds small and some very big.
In fact, I could feel that the space of the whole reality was strange. It was like many universes puzzled together and not in a multiversal way, more like stitching many universes together to create a Frankenstein like chimera.
Despite the many extra universes sewed to this one, the one I was currently in was amongst the largest.
It might be because I was still in human form or maybe that's just how things were here but when the flying creatures spotted me, they started screaming horrendously and made a dive at me with their fangs, claws and whatever they had with the clear intend to kill.
Of course, despite their terrifying appearance, I made quick process of them and started looking through their memories. They might not have been intelligent but had an inherent understanding of this place that was passed on to them from their ancestors.
Apparently, this specific universe was called the Demon Realm. The population was made up off all demonic, undead and unholy races and were further divided into named and unnamed. Names here were given by the universe itself, or better said brought out from the depths of your soul.
Only a few races here were intelligent before receiving a name but being named didn´t always mean being powerful.
This true name thing was probably why I could feel this longing in my soul core, a name that represented my entire being and existence.
I also found out why the space here looked like its been destroyed over and over again. It was due to the fact that summoning demons, monsters, undead and unholy to the summoners universe to do their bidding was rather popular and not all summoning ceremonies were advanced enough to leave space unharmed.
Unnamed monsters were summoned randomly and were mostly used as cannon fodder, named ones however could be summoned specifically but the prize to summon them was expensive and unlike unnamed, they had the right to refuse a summon.
I was currently in an area where no named being resided, so it wasn´t a surprise when some skeletons, zombies and other weak creatures came into my direction after hearing the flying creatures screams.
I really wanted my true name and knew that they were usually revealed after doing several summons, so I changed my appearance to the most common demon form even in this universe, a red skinned demon with black horns.
It might have been the cause of some of my luck and probability related powers or simply because there were several unnamed gathered in one place but just as I was about to kill all the approaching monsters, a demonic looking magic circle appeared in the sky above us.
The space in the middle of the pentagram started to break and suck us in. I knew that this was a summon and didn´t resist the pull, this might yield some good rewards and bring me closer to receiving my true name.
That´s how I got summoned for the first time, together with over two hundred other monsters.

A/N- Finally time to get his name. This World isn´t a manga, anime, game, movie or book but my own creation and will try to make it as interesting as possible. This also means that he might stay here for a bit long than usual because as you might have noticed, it's a combination of several worlds including fantasy, modern, futuristic and more.
