New World

"My name is... BOB."

"Well that was not the name I was expecting to tell the truth"

"Why, it is a perfectly good name", my living reflection talked back.

"Yeah it sure it but it is kinda boring you know?"

"YOU puny little piece of shit dare to degrade my perfectly fine name..."

Seeing that my lovely reflection had aggression disorders I hurriedly told him my name: Jefffery Jones. Luckily my clone (?) calmed down a bit and addressed the elephant in the room:

"Why the hell do you exactly look like a discount copy of myself?"

"WHO is the discount..."Ah well also not important. Calming down my stress overdriven nerves I asked Bob another important question: Who or what are you?

"I am Bob,...

"No, no I mean why are you here, where are you from, why can you climb out of mirrors and most importantly why do you look exactly like me?"

"Well to answer you questions: I am from Pandemonium, also known as the capital of HELL."

"Never heard from it wierdo."

"What...? Wait a second, where am I?" Bob hurriedly looked around and surprise flashed through his eyes.

"I am not in Isidora?"

"No you moron you are in New York the biggest metropolis on earth!" I proudly declared.

"What ...is the Earth?", my lovely mirror image asked

*Pin drop silence*

"Are you completely brain fried you dumbass, earth is a planet in der solar system and you can imagine it as a big flying ball of dirt somewhere in the nowhere."

"Well thanks that helped a great deal" Bob dryly replied.

"So where are you from Bob, you talked something about hell, are you some religious fanatic or what?"

"We have enough of those." Bob angrily muttered under his breath. Then he returned to his (mostly) cheery attitude and just told me "I am too lazy to explain it to you, so I`ll just show it to you"

He grabbed my hand and then jumped at the mirror with me. And just as I thought, that some poor police would have to scratch my spattered face from the mirror I slipped through it without any resistance.

Suddenly I found myself in a swirling tunnel of light and beside me my carbon copy Bob shouting: "This is what we call long distance Teleportation, it`s the fastest and safest method to travel from one place to another."

Didn`t look very safe I thought... and then my Bobs grip around my hand loosened, because we were pulled apart my a great force

"No!" Bob shouted, as his hand let go. We got torn apart and I was sucked into another very suspicious looking wormhole and after what felt like an eternity I was flushed out like toilet water and crashed onto hard ground.

"Fuck this, I just had to jinx it!" I shouted aggrieved while hammering the ground. Poor ground it was completely innocent, well to say it better my poor fist which was now hurting as hell.

Suddenly a soothing light descended from above and cooled my burning and bloodied fist. I completely forgot my pain and looked up, only to see a little fairy flying above my head.

"What a surprise another volunteering participant for the upcoming Maze Trail!"

"What no I am not doing any maze shit, what the hell are you talking about...

"Ahhhhrrg" I screamed as a lightning bolt smote down on me.

"It seems we have another rowdy participant" the little fairy said with a sadistic smile.

Never knew that even fairies could be evil but I had learned my lesson I kept my mouth shut although my questions were almost spilling over.

"Well lets introduce you to the other participants you don't want to be lonely do you?" the sadistic fairy said with an evil laugh.

It was not like I could do anything against it so I silently resigned myself to reality.

Then the fairy chanted something and I suddenly felt really drowsy and limply fell to the side, snoring loudly.

"Interesting participant, no gear, no mana signature, nothing at all, well no point pondering about it, in this condition he going to die real fast" the fairy murmured.
