As the darkness enveloped James, his mind raced with a mixture of fear and curiosity. The unknown awaited him in this mysterious multiverse, a concept he struggled to comprehend. Suddenly, a blinding light pierced through the darkness, and he found himself standing in a vast, empty void.
Before him, shimmering portals materialized, each leading to a different world, a different reality. James was overwhelmed by the myriad of choices laid out before him. He hesitated, unsure of where to start or what consequences his decision might have. The first portal showed a futuristic city, tall gleaming buildings, complete with flying cars. The buildings were all guarded by soldiers covered in full armor holding a variety of advanced weponry. James gave it a quick look and moved on, it did not look like a place he would enjoy spending eternity. He looked through other portals showing different scenes, a world of ice and snow with vicious beast fighting for food and shelter. In another an underwater world filled with an alien race of fish-like people. A third showed an advanced civilization with huge spaceships and travel through the stars.
He looked through many portals until one caught his attention. It showed a world similar to medieval earth, with quaint villages and people on horseback. That was not what captured his attention, what had him staring was a group hunting a large beast. It was unfamiliar to him, but looked extremely dangerous. The group did not panic and fought the beast with a large array of what seemed like magical powers. One man in front caused his shield to glow attracting the animal, just to have it bounce off like he was made of stone. Another disappeared and reappeared behind the beast cutting muscle and tendons in its back legs. A third finished chanting and a large spike of stone appeared in front of him, then shot off to hit the beast. While the beast was stunned the first two ran in and made short work of putting it down for good.

This world was so different than any other he had seen. Magic was possible. If he could learn magic maybe immortality could be an adventure, something to look forward to. It did not seem to be controlled by some authoritarian government, with guards telling everyone what to do. Its small remote villages looked almost idealistic. Here he could learn and grow and without the need to eat or sleep he could grow quite quickly if he applied himself. If he was going to spend eternity doing something, that something would be learning all the magic this world had to offer. With a deep breath, he stepped towards the portal, his heart pounding in anticipation.
As he crossed the threshold, a rush of wind and color engulfed him, transporting him to a world unlike anywhere he had ever been. This new world was vibrant and alive, with towering trees and sparkling rivers. Strange creatures roamed the landscape, their presence both awe-inspiring and terrifying. James felt a surge of adrenaline as he realized the magnitude of possibilities that lay ahead in the multiverse. With newfound determination, he set off into the unknown, ready to embrace this new life and all the adventures it held. The journey had just begun, and he was ready to get started.
