Death or Survival

Jay had been unconscious, but he suddenly started hearing a voice—a mysterious and frightening voice, speaking to him:

The Girl (Voice): "Listen carefully, you fool. You made a grave mistake by coming here. You were supposed to die in your world and vanish forever. We don't need people like you. Now… go to hell!"

Jay suddenly woke up, gasping for air, finding himself lying on a simple wooden bed in a dark, cold room. He looked around in confusion, trying to understand where he was.

Jay (Speaking to himself): "Where am I? What's happening?"

He then raised his voice, calling out:

Jay: "Is anyone here?"

Moments later, the door slowly creaked open, and an old woman with a strange and terrifying appearance entered. Her body was covered in skin resembling scales, and her eyes gleamed a terrifying red.

Jay (Terrified): "Who… who are you? Where am I?"

Mirigina (With a strange smile): "Oh, you're finally awake. I'm Mirigina. It seems you have no idea what's going on here."

As Jay stared at her with fear and surprise, Mirigina continued with a sharp tone, her eyes burning with anger:

Mirigina: "I've heard that you've killed many people…"

Jay (Surprised): "Killed? Me? I don't understand…"

Mirigina (Changing her tone): "Never mind, don't worry. My granddaughter is the one who brought you here, not me. You see, I'm an old woman who can't even run."

Then, she shouted loudly:

Mirigina (Shouting): "Takai! Come here. The boy is awake!"

A fifteen-year-old girl with innocent features, looking completely different from her terrifying grandmother, entered. Jay stared at her in shock, thinking to himself:

Jay (To himself): "Strange… how can this girl be the granddaughter of that monster?"

Takai (Smiling): "Hello, boy. I found you buried in the snow by the frozen sea. All I saw was your hand at first. I thought you were a big fish, but then I realized you were from our kind, so I brought you here."

Jay (Gratefully): "Thank you… but I want to know: where is this place? What is this world?"

Mirigina (Starting to explain): "You are now in the Underdark world. This world is full of monsters, and there are few humans. However, there is an empire called the Lev Empire. It is ruled by a king named Levin, and it is located in the center of this world. Our world consists of four main areas:

Zayer: A dense forest full of strange creatures.Ziker: Rugged and dangerous mountains.Sairniner: Dry, desert-like areas.Zindro: The cold region where we are now, the coldest and most dangerous area."

As Mirigina spoke, Jay suddenly interrupted her with a tone of worry:

Jay: "Where is Lina?"

Takai (Surprised): "Lina? Who is Lina?"

Jay (Shouting): "She's my friend! She was supposed to be here with me!"

Takai hesitated for a moment before responding:

Takai (Coldly): "Ah, perhaps… because I bargained with a merchant and sold the girl for 175 gold coins."

Jay (Angry and Terrified): "What? You sold her?! Where is she?"

Takai (Indifferently): "Calm down. Wait until tomorrow. We'll go to the lake and see if she hasn't been taken yet."

Jay (Determined): "Alright… but if anything happens to her, I'll make you pay."
