By the time Alex had finished reading the golden words floating before him, an invisible blanket of tingling energy had already wrapped itself around his entire body. A loud buzzing noise filled the air around him. Something within him lurched, his stomach clenched. He tasted iron against his tongue.

“Oh, shit,” Alex said, his words echoing in his own head. “I’ll be back! I’m about to get⁠—”

The tingling sensation turned to a prickling heat, sharp enough to sizzle against his skin. His ears popped. The world jerked, twisted, and swirled together like someone had shoved the entire thing into a blender. Colors mixed into a solid brown, and that shifted to black.

The ground fell out from beneath him.

Alex’s stomach shot up into his throat as he plummeted, devoid of every single sense.

His feet slammed into something hard with an abrupt jolt. Color blurred and swam back into place as his hearing returned with a second pop. Alex staggered, nearly tripping over himself as the world drew itself back into being all around him.

A circular cave stretched out around him. A ceiling, well over forty feet at its peak, rose into the air above, polished perfectly smooth gray. The ground was paved with shimmering white tile, dismissing any remaining notion that the location could have been natural.

The tiles had been laid in a design that twisted inward to a large dais at the center of the room. Upon it was a door, circular in shape. Rotating segments had twisted shut like the petals of a closing flower to nigh-seamlessly seal its entrance shut.

Before Alex could so much as start to wonder exactly where it was he’d been pulled to, he came to the abrupt realization that he was not alone in the room. He wasn’t sure when or how it had happened, but there were several other people standing in the room together with him.

He couldn’t make out any detail of their forms. It was as if they were oddly sharp silhouettes in a dimly lit room, granting him only the general grayish-black outline of their shape and nothing more.

A melodious hum filled the air. Alex yanked his gaze up to the center of the room. Dull golden sparks danced as they traced a rectangle through the air, leaving a glowing path in their wake.

Matching energy washed across the rectangle’s face, forming into a glimmering doorway. From within it stepped a figure wearing plain white robes. They didn’t seem to have any features at all beyond their clothing.

The figure had no face. No skin—no anything. Its clothes conformed to an invisible form, hanging from a body that did not exist. Pale light washed off the strange apparition, washing over the room and breaking through the edges of the strange silhouette-people surrounding Alex. He still couldn’t make out any details, but everyone’s features grew sharper and more defined.

“Congratulations on your placement in the 2nd Initialization Event for Subsector 735,” the figure intoned. Its voice was smooth and polished, completely devoid of any emotion. “I am the Overseer for this Trial.
