Chapter 1: Revival?

As I opened my eyes, what I saw shocked me. My heart skipped for a millisecond, but then I decided to stay calm. I mean, what worse could happen anyway? I died, right?

I looked at my surroundings. I was with 7 more people, 3 girls, and 4 males, and we were circling around another man, who was looking at the sky, smiling.

All of us, except for the man in the middle, was sitting in a stone, some are small, some are huge. We were all approximately 5 meters away from the said man.

I, along with the said people, was at a Plains Biome. Around us were some few flowers and trees, as well as small hills. The sun was still rising.

I noticed that all of us are different from the man like the man is someone more bigger than me. It was like he is a very strong person.

"All right. I think everyone is now awake." The man whispered to himself. "Good day, everyone!" The man continued with, surprisingly, a sunny tone.

No one replied to him, Instead, everyone was just silent as if they wanted to know more about what happened to them. Including me, of course.

"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."

Silence won around the whole area. After a few seconds, 1 girl who was sitting right on the other side of me decided to speak.

"Tell me why and how exactly I should believe you? And who are you?" The woman said, but with a calm tone.

"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 one who was a person away from me on my right.

The man's eye's enlarged. It was as if something he didn't want to be revealed was told by this mysterious man.

"And you, Mr. Harold Catasty. I know you and your parents, and how talented you are." The man pointed at me, and I flinched a little. How did he know that? I looked at him, but when our eyes nearly met, he spoke again, now pointing at the woman who asked earlier.

"And you, Miss Nibria. I know about... your Aunt and Uncle." The man somehow eerily said. I don't know what is going on, but my gut is right. This person -- I don't know exactly if he is a human being -- is someone that I don't want to be not on good terms with.

Another moment of silence was heard, as I, and the two people that the man pointed at earlier, -- which I believe their names are Niam and Nibria -- are all astonished. At least that's what I see is going on.

The other 5, on the other hand, by the looks of it, are still confused. They are not the ones to blame though.

"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.

I am not gonna question about his age and his name since I don't think no-one ever knew something about me and my parents... Huh.

"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 second to my left.

"Good observation, Mister Vernon." The man smiled at him... This man is really weird.

"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 said, weirdly cutting his words.

Even if I am not the smartest, I can still feel that something is being hidden from us. Based on what he has said, I think that we are more than we think ourselves are. I don't know, I guess there is a lot to handle right now.

"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.

Okay. That is a lot to take in. Basically, I transmigrated, -- I don't know if that is the right word or not -- met 7 more people and 1 Supreme Being, and received my own island, which I think has something magical blah blah in it.

All of a sudden, some kind of scroll appeared in front of my eyes, and then it fell to the ground. I took the scroll, and before I opened it, I looked to know whether I am the only one who received one or not.

It turns out... not. All of us received a scroll. Okay. Enough worrying about others. Let's see what is in this scroll.

I opened my scroll, and when I did, my vision began to blur out. Because of the sudden change, I immediately closed the scroll, and then rubbed my eyes out of pure shock. As I was dealing with my vision, my body began to be tired, as if my strength was being sucked away.

Moments later, my body fell to the ground, and I can still feel my strength fading, as I slowly close my eyes. The last thing I saw was the man smiling, and then he talked.

"Late... preparing.... dkjgw... Good luck."
