She was asleep? Or not asleep, She was aware… time seemed to pass her by without ever acknowledging her existence. She knew she should care. She should try to wake up, maybe, but nothing she could do changed her ceaseless floating. She tried to remember something… she was a person, she wasn’t nothing, but the nothing around her seemed endless., and it wanted her to join it in its nothingness. She should simply fall asleep and let herself unfold into a nonexistent state where she doesn't have to worry about anything. But she did have things to worry about! She wasn’t dead… Was she? In her mind pain flashed, a crash maybe? A bus or a truck perhaps crashing into her? What was a bus? The darkness tried to close in again, but she couldn’t let it! if she let it lure her to sleep then she wouldn’t exist anymore! she wanted to keep existing. She struggled against the oppressive feeling of non-existence, her will slowly being chipped and ground away. Soon there would be nothing left of her… She couldn’t even remember her name, or the reason she wanted to exist, but she did want to exist. She just had to keep fighting and not be lured into sleep…
Then she woke up, A flash of light appearing before her and elongating into a glowing blue rectangle. Was this the salvation she had been hoping for?

FAQ
Who are you?
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
A helpful assistant to the whole universe at large you can think of the boxes that appear before you as the system. The system isn’t a person and can not be personified, please refrain from doing so in the future.
What do you get out of this?
All lost souls fished up from the void are from other universes, by introducing them to our universe we can introduce new skills and ideas that would have never have occurred in our universe naturally. Introducing new things is necessary to prevent certain staleness from happening in the universe ( like universal wars and such )
What is happening to me?
You are currently in a liminal space. After you have finished reading and acknowledging these messages you will be moved to the next stage.
What competition? What will I be required to do?
To weed out souls not suited to the universe you will have to go through a competition to prove your worth. Don’t worry though after the first stage losing will rarely result in death as you at that point will be an assist worth investing in! Before the first stage is over you should worry a lot. As for what you’,, be doing you don’t have time to worry about that but rest assured the first stage is an individual assessment of skill, you will not be force to fight your peers in a death match or some such folly. It's expensive enough to fish you up from the void that it's not within the competitions best interest to kill you right away.
Live streaming??

Well that was hardly a choice at all was it? While she wanted to sit here and debate her options she could already feel her consciousness fading while reading the message. She didn’t want to dissolve into some void. She looked at the bottom end mentally agreed, wondering if she would regret this. Before her could wonder too much she was swallowed back up by the darkness.
