Kai Tanaka sat at his desk, staring blankly at the computer screen in front of him. He had always known that his life was mundane, but today, he felt especially discontent with the monotony of his existence.
Suddenly, a bright light enveloped him, and he was transported to a strange, dark world. He was standing in the middle of a dimly lit room, surrounded by stone walls and the smell of incense.
In front of him stood a mysterious figure, draped in black robes, holding a staff adorned with symbols that Kai couldn't comprehend.
"You have been summoned, Kai Tanaka," the figure spoke, its voice cold and menacing. "You have been chosen to be the sacrifice in our ritual, to appease the gods and ensure their favor upon our kingdom."
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Kai's heart began to race, fear creeping up his spine. He tried to run, but found himself unable to move, as if an invisible force was holding him in place.
"Please, let me go," he begged. "I don't want to die."
The figure gave a cruel laugh, its eyes glowing with a malevolent light. "It is too late, mortal. Your fate is sealed."
Kai closed his eyes, bracing for the end. But when he opened them again, he found himself back in his own world, safe and sound.
However, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched, that something sinister was waiting for him in the shadows.
He felt a sense of foreboding, a premonition of the dark journey that lay ahead of him. Little did he know, his life would never be the same again.
