Prologue: Welcome to the World

"Where am I…?"

Anyone's first instinct would be to look around unfamiliar territory. That would've been my first course of action too had there been anything to look at. Instead it was just a vast darkness, devoid of anything. I looked down and to my surprise I didn't seem to have a body. Then again it's so dark it might just be that it's too dark to see my body. Though I can't see it, I can certainly feel it. Come to think of it I can't move anyway. So many things kept coming to my mind but I was too confused and disoriented to think about them clearly. All of a sudden I could hear what sounded like footsteps approaching me.

"Hello?" I called out, "who's there?"

"Hmm? You're already awake huh…," the female voice responded, "I penned Him to be someone patient, not one to jump the gun."

"I'm sure you're quite confused right now" continued the girl, or at least she sounded relatively young. "Take it easy for now and get some rest. It's far too early for you to be awake. Give it some time and you'll feel…more complete shall we say?" she concluded.

Seeing as I had nothing else to do I 'shut' my eyes and let myself drift in the space. This darkness is far more disorienting than I thought. It's so dark I can't even tell whether I'm asleep or not. Regardless I did feel much more relaxed. Drifting in this space was far more calming than I'd imagine.

I didn't really know how to describe what happened after I started relaxing. It felt like a mental blackout. But it couldn't have been. There were what looked like pictures and some kind of video but they just moved and passed by too quickly to make sense of them. If the relaxing part is sleep then what would the fleeting visual have been? I feel really stupid right now. I'm someone capable of intellect but I can't even interpret what's going on around me. Did I lose more than just memories?

"It's ok, you can wake up now" the girl said. I didn't feel it at first but it slowly came to me. It started off as a feeling of depression on my face. It didn't take me long to realize she'd been poking me in the face, giggling like a child all the while. Opening my eyes for the first time hurt. The light was blinding and it didn't help that the room was white. After a while I adjusted to the brightness. Beside the bed that I was lying on was a huge window. I looked outside onto the landscape. It was beautiful. Meadows, forests, bodies of water and a sky dotted with a few clouds made up this world that I was on. But something seemed off. On a planet the curvature goes down, so why then is it that this world's curvature is going up instead? Upon further inspection it seemed to make a titanic bowl around the sun.

"It's what's referred to as a Dyson Sphere" she said. Guess the look on my face must've given away what I was thinking. Note to Self: Be more conscientious of my actions. Now that I knew what my surroundings were like I wanted to see what I looked like. Lacking memories beyond the time I spent in the darkness I had no idea what I could've possibly looked like. On the wall opposite my bed there was a dresser and a large mirror above it. I got off the bed and walked towards it. Sweet I'm pretty well built. Can't say anything more impressive than that though. If people judged based on first appearances then I'd have to say I look like a demon or a devil, something just evil in general. Long jet black hair, red irises and a rather serious look on my face probably sends the message across 'Hello nice to meet you. Can I disembowel you now?' Maybe I should try to be social and smile more often?

While further inspecting my surroundings I failed to notice the girl that has been accompanying me. She looks a lot like me. Guess she must be my sister or some other relative. Although there is one big difference between us. She looks much more approachable, a kind, gentle smile always gracing her face. Overall she gives off a much more comfortable feeling than I do. I wonder if she can give me some tips on how to be like that?

"You must be quite confused. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Luci. I've been tasked with caring for you as well as teaching you. Just think of me as your teacher but don't forget I'm here for you as well so I guess that makes me your friend as well" she laughed. "I'm pleased to welcome you to the world."
