Shift

Prolouge

I am floating in what looks like an endless white space, alone. I have no memories of my past, that is ,if, I have a past. Right here, I have no source for answers. Little do I know that my whole life was about to change. I continue floating forward and forward until, a man appears. He has short hair, skin that's a little dark, a cyan tunic, and jeans. That did not catch my attention.What scares me is his white ,blank, glowing eyes."W-Who are you?"I ask. "Never mind that." He says."You have just spawned, but you are here for a reason, a rather important one.You were supposed to train once you spawn, but you are here instead,because you are special.You will forget this when you spawn in a world you choose,but I promise that you will find out somehow. You have an extraordinary power. Learn it." "I_" I try to say but he disappears, and so does all the whiteness around me. I appear in a crowded room with people choosing floating, glowing, squares. I see a man in the distance pointing people around and answering them questions. I walk up to the man, confidently, and steadily ask,"Excuse me, sir, but what am I supposed to do here?" "You need to choose one of the squares, each leads you to spawn in a world, you don't know which world you spawn in when you pick them, it's random." I think about choosing a popular world.He starts to continue."Why don't you know? Don't you go training before coming here? The only reason you didn't go training might be.."He pauses."Ah. So you must be a chosen person.Eh? With powers." "Huh?" I pretend I don't know what he's talking about, I don't want any stranger to know anything about me. Suddenly, without any warning, he grabs me by the collar of my white hoodie. A knife gleams in his pocket."You will have to come with me." He snarls. I stifle a scream, I don't want to catch more attention. I bring my foot backward, and with incredible force, I kick his gut. He growls and reaches for the knife in his pocket. Right then, a man who looks like he has authority starts toward us."Violence is not allowed in this area, but you can when you choose a world, as for John,I expected better from you." "But she's a sh_" the man interrupts him."No exceptions."John, looks away. Then he swiftly turns around and brings the knife down and it tears through my arm. The blood trickles down my sleeve with warmth and leaves a trail of cherry red liquid.The pain was so intense, I give out a high pitched scream I was holding back. John covers his ears and pounces at me.I quickly run towards the choosing area, every step careful,and slam my palm into the closest one of the glowing squares. There is no time to choose a popular world.Nothing happens, I give a backward glance and notice that John is running at top speed towards me, and the man shouting for him to stop, and I have no idea what he is saying over the buzzing in my ears. I hit it again and a bolt of pain shoots through me, worse than the knife in my arm. I hear a chorus of gasps and a shout saying "She chose the flat world!" And everything goes black.
