"Hey" Inky was shocked by the sudden ability to converse

"How are you feeling any pain, headaches, or anything?" asked the old man

"No, but I have a few questions, first of all, how can I speak, second whats your name, and Where are we" Inky questioned

"My name is Osarian and you just got a "contract", and we are in limbo, We receive a lot of people like you so you can just follow me and I will take you to a pre-designated course briefing you on our history and answering questions" Osarian answered

"Ok but can I go to the bathroom?"

"Second hallway to the left."

Soon the duo arrived at a regular-looking oak door.

"this is the place, just open the door and you can meet people like you" The old man soon left.

as Inky opened the door something shocking happened, the door opened to a normal-looking classroom with 3 people sitting down one girl and two boys.

"I see we have reached six people may the lesson commence" A young man appeared with dyed hair and multicolored eyes, "First let's get the backstory of all of you"

The young man didn't even give Inky time to sit down before introductions but he didn't comment as someone else was speaking

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"Hello I am Liam and I am a young student in Archon Academy who is undergoing my tower trial."

"Hello I am Jakob and I am a scientist who failed a lab accident while experimenting with CHROME and accidentally went through a rift in space and time "

"Hello I am Rosaline and I was cursed by the prince of my world's fiance for stealing her boyfriend."

they were all kind and respectful in their tone so then Inky went.

"Hello, I am Inky and I have an ability that forces me to go to a different dimension every year."

"Do you notice a pattern?" the young man inquired

"Yes," they all simultaneously replied.

"you are all from different dimensions, you see people would normally get here by dying in the world of aegis but you got here by dimensional travel"

"Wai-" Jakob tried speaking

"shut up"

"anyways since I am getting paid for this and every second is too slow I am I'll get a pay deduct Ill make this quick"

"Hello welcome to the limbo of the world of aegis, this place is for every person god couldn't decide whether to put in Nehel or Ankle or the good or bad place

Originally no powers or magic worked here until a basic contractor got here and showed that his contract worked, oh by the way contracts are magic runes you put on your chest, There is a flaw, a power, and a goal for every contract. In this world the laws that govern everything change frequently sometimes hunger doesn't exist sometimes it does, the only constant rule, or should I say lack is that death doesn't exist, nobody can or will die. Everything in limbo used to be an endless void until the contractor and then the magic of contracts spread blah blah blah and now every mountain, concept, river, dimension, etc. are just people who had contracts forced onto them as punishment for crime or stuff like that BYE!" the teacher explained so fast that he threaded the details out nearly perfectly leaving only a half baked basic overview and then he vanished before anyone could ask any questions.

"...."

soon Jakob broke the awkward silence

"So want to get to know each other?"
