Light filled her eyes as she was temporarily blinded by what seemed like a huge light shining in her face. As her eyes slowly adjusted, so did the feeling to her limbs return. She found herself looking down at her legs, noticing herself sitting in a chair. As she slowly looked up, she found someone sitting across from her with a table placed in between.

The room itself reminded Maya of an interrogation room with the two chairs, a table in a small closed-in space, bar the two-way window. The only difference was how perfectly clean everything was. The walls and floor were white, the table white, the chairs white, and despite there being no apparent light-source, the whole room was somehow still well lit.

“Hello?” Maya cautiously asked the… person across from her. He/she looked human at a glance but had no discernable features. A bald head, completely white eyes with no pupils, and a chest that looked far too flat and undetailed to be natural. Not a single hair could be seen on the body. As her internal assessment was finishing up, the “human” opened its mouth.

“Greetings, human. I oversee your introduction. In this introduction, I shall explain to you the circumstances of your new reality,” the thing said with a voice that sounded synthesized by mashing a bunch of both male and female voices together. As she was about to open her mouth to respond, it started talking again.

“First of all, allow me to welcome you to the Tower of Worlds and your new reality . Your universe has finally passed the minimum threshold required to enter the multiverse and has thus been initiated. Now, do you have any questions before we move on to the subjects pertaining to the tutorial?” the thing finally finished up.

Maya's mind was in turmoil. Multiverses? What threshold was passed? And what does it mean with a new reality? But instead of any of these actual meaningful questions, she asked the most mundane possible:

“Who, no, what are you?” she blurted out, stumbling over her words.

“I am the entity in charge of greeting you and introduce you to the new world, and the circumstances of your new reality” It answered promptly, making no indications of elaborating further.
