“Huh?” she said, confused. “Wait, you do look similar to someone I know…”
She took out a translucent smoke-glass card. To me, it mostly looked like a normal slab of glass, but to her it definitely did sound more than that. How do I know that? The smoke glass had a leather coating on the edges, so it didn’t sound like a slab of smoke glass.

I couldn’t see what was written on because of the glass.

“Is your name Sammy?” she asked.

I decided to try counterfeiting my identity from her, because it's the only thing I could do.

“No . . . My name is Demmy.” replied I.

“If you're going to try counterfeiting, then do it better. ‘Demmy’ is girl’s name, you idiot. So I guess, that means your name’s Sammy.”

“Uh . . .”

“Come with me. You’re urgently required at our place.” She ordered.

“What place?” I asked.

“Sorry, but I am not allowed to tell you the place’s name.” She answered, a bit skeptically.

“Then, just tell me what’s your name?”

“Oh, yeah, my name’s Nova. And now, get off the stupid, flea-infested bag, and come with me to the Portal.”
I got up and she led to the . . . Toilet of the Room (Time for more fleas, I suppose).

I asked, “Nova, why are we going to the Toilet?”

She answered, “Well, you see it’s the best place to hide a portal, you know.”
This time, I just decided to shut up, because who knows, if I anger her a little more, she may murder me in there, who knows.

She just walked to the nearest toilet, she shut the door, (with me inside!) and then she took out lab serum inside a test tube, it has a caution on the front of the bottle:
DRINK AT RISK.

She spoke to me, “Drink this.”
I responded, really aggressively, “Are you kidding me? The cover on the test tube literally says in bold writing that DRINK AT RISK, how are you telling me to DRINK it?! I could die!”
I guess, I was completely oblivious of what it was back then. Now, I can say what it was, and why it said: DRINK AT RISK. I shouldn’t give spoilers, should I?

Anyways, back to the story.

Nova replied, “Don’t FREAK out. It’s not a thing for normal mortals, but I can sense the power of an Legendreompian, agility of an Plasimian, rage of Clans of War! Then you either be one of those, so we need you very much at Legendreompus. Back to the potion, you need to drink it to go through the Portal.”

I, after thinking a little, decided that I could take a risk and drink it.
As I was drinking it, she took out a white ball, with blue stripes glowing on it.

As soon as it hit the ground, it turned into a big circle with nothing inside. By ‘nothing’, I mean a black space with nothingness inside. And yes, it was really a portal! I was starting to get dizzy, because of the potion, maybe I wasn’t a Legendreompus, and was going to die.

Nova pushed me off into the Portal.
And yes, after that I guess I went to Eternity of Torture . . .

I went through the Portal with the speed of light. I couldn’t feel my body. I couldn’t say anything, but I could hear. I heard a voice speaking.
I could see colours’ flashing, so fast my eyes couldn’t cope up with them and they shut up.

I was going through the portal, until I heard a grave voice start speaking.

A old, dense voice spoke, “Hello, Tranois, welcome to Legendreompus. It’s a legendary place with buildings made of mythical gold. My name is Beaker. Come on to the JOURNEY of WONDERS, and HEROIC SAVIOURS!”

Another word, I need to clarify, right? Okay, so the word ‘Tranois’ means a newbie, or a novice. It's Legendreompus’s tradition to disrespect newbies, okay? And yes, about the old man, I won’t tell you who he is, you need to read the story in order to know.

Anyways, back to the story.

I still wondered what he meant heroic saviours, you become the hero, or you need who requires to be the person who needs to be saved.

After that the person stopped speaking, and the whole place fell into dead silence.

Not a soul, in here or there. No sounds.

The deadly silence seemed like it lasted forever. It was going on, until suddenly a mechanical voice spoke again, breaking the deadly silence, “The time has finally come, warrior! You’ll exiting this portal in 10 seconds.”

All of a sudden, the oxygen started depleting pretty fast. I felt as if I was going to die. I guess the potions effects were wearing off. In five seconds, the effects completely wore off. I was going down the way of the portal with eye-blinding speed, I had all of my hopes on the opening, which I saw in the end of the portal.

It started a countdown on the side screen saying, “Departure in 3 — 2 — 1 SECONDs — GO!!!”

And I was thrust out of the tunnel, and I fell on the rooftop of a tall black coloured tower, for some reason.

It took me forever to even stand up, I was in such a weakened state, that I couldn’t even stand to see what was in there.

After trying a little, I opened my eyes, I saw a place with an open door and some armoury and weapons fallen there (I literally don’t have any idea why they were there.)

After trying really hard for a long time, I finally managed to hoist myself up, I looked at the sky.

It was totally dark, with black crows flying through the dark skies, and then moon and the stars creepily staring.

I guess, it was night time after all. I decided to check what equipment was available. As I took a step forward, I fell to the ground shouting, “Argh!”

Hope you liked it.
What do you want his weapon to be?
