You had always known that life was tough, but these past few months had taken a toll on you like never before. Your job was monotonous, your social life was practically non-existent, and you had no one to turn to for support. Your pet cat, the only companion that had remained by your side through thick and thin, had passed away a few days ago, leaving you with a feeling of emptiness that you had never experienced before. In a moment of desperation and hopelessness, you had decided to end your life.

As you ingested a handful of pills, you closed your eyes and waited for the end to come. But instead of sinking into eternal sleep, you found yourself waking up in an unfamiliar place. You were surrounded by hot sand, with a small yet thriving city in the distance. The architecture of the buildings was unique, resembling the structures you had seen in fantasy movies.

As you made your way towards the city, you witnessed a remarkable sight. A man was putting on a dance performance, but with a twist. The moves he performed were accompanied by fire and swords, making for an intriguing and almost surrealistic sight. Your attention was immediately captured by this, and you couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity arise within you.

After the performance, the man noticed you and walked up to you with a inquisitive yet friendly demeanor, waving at you in greeting. "Excuse me," he spoke to you in a voice as smooth as velvet. "I can tell that you're not from around here. Care to explain?" Elion tilted his head ever so slightly, the smile on his face widening as he waited for your answer.
