EFFORIA WORLD AT WAR
He hasn't had the best life, in fact, some would argue that his life couldn't have been worse, but there's still hope, even for a nihilist. As when an expedition to colonize the moon quickly turns into a disaster, he is swallowed whole by an anomaly and spat out somewhere completely different. Here one can conjure flames with words and summon thunderclouds with a shout, but it's not all fantasia and ecstasy. The world seemed peaceful enough, but as he learns more and more. He realizes everything he sees is a facade, and what's truly underneath is a civilization built on blood and war. In fact, the whole world is in a state of war, fueling the coming of Ragnarök.

She was on top of me, naked, pinning me down. I cried, screamed, kicked, shouted, but she didn't care. She was having the time of her life, at my expense, it was disgusting.

I closed my eyes and focused, then I was in my mind. I was out, on the plane, darkness all around, everything dimly lit, and the creature directly in front of me.
