Mark opened his eyes slowly, and the first thing he noticed was that he was in complete darkness.
Not the darkness of a closed room or a moonless night, not even the darkness you see when you squeeze your eyes shut.
It was a darkness much more like the one he had seen before being sent to his new world.
"Ugh, what happened?" Mark said, blinking to adjust his eyes.
Then Mark looked down at his own body, or at least where his body should be, and was surprised to find he was completely naked.
"Alright, think," he told himself, bringing a hand to the back of his neck. "The last thing I remember is… is…"
And that's where it stopped, because the last thing he remembered was walking toward the dungeon, seeing Ely running toward him, and then… nothing.
The rest was blank.
"Great… did I die again? Seriously? What a pain."
