Crawling out of the darkness, I'm running. I have no name, no Identity, simply running towards a light.

I see a crowd. A large crowd with shadowy faces, and a man wearing a masquerade mask, and a top hat...an a long blue cape.

It's like an amphitheater of sorts, and as I walked down the aisle, the blue glow of the theater surrounding me, the man on the stage with a cape gestures towards me. I look at my own shadowy hands. The crowd glances towards me, not male, nor female, and I feel nothing but a pull. A pull to drag me up on the stage...
As I step upon the blue luminescent stage, a sudden beam of light hits the stage, as a large pair of dice appears.

The man upstage tells me to roll them somehow...kick them, hit them, throw them...anything.
By instinct, I push them off the stage, crushing a few shadowy people in the crowd. They respawn instantly... As if nothing happened.
I rolled the dice.
In the most boring way possible I suppose, but it's not like it matters.

The dice flashed, and then, the face of a young girl, like she was in high school appeared on one of the dice...
And on the other was a name...

Neru...?

Soon, a white light enveloped me, and I was sent to earth...the game has begun...
