A pain shot through Magnus's body, his eyes abruptly opening as he let out a pained groan.
A dark sky greeted him, a blanket of clouds covering everything as far as he could see. His eyes shifted to the sides, revealing an endless sea of dark blue—almost black.
'Where... Am... I...'
His entire body was in pain, the occasional wave sweeping over him causing layers of agony to surge within him.
He didn't even dare move his limbs that were bent at odd angles, knowing a world of pain awaited him if he did.
Occasionally, he saw a shadow in the corner of his eyes, yet by now what little fortitude he had had long since waned.
'If I have... To Die... Make it quick... How is it, system?'
[... Bad, very bad, but you can survive.]
'Why?'
[Why what?]
'Why hold... On... Pain... Suffering... It hurts...' His unfocused eyes reflected the skies, devoid of any light.
[Don't you want to know why you're here? What you can achieve? What you might get?]
'I don't... care...'
