As you come to consciousness, you desperately try to understand your surroundings. But… there aren't any? No matter where you look, the horizon fades only to white. Not only that, but you seem to be floating, almost as if you're swimming in the air.
Before you, a form begins to materialize. It's glowing a brilliant gold and takes the rough shape of a human figure.
“Don't worry, you get used to the floating” said the blurry silhouette. Or at least, that's what you think, as the voice seemed to come from inside your own skull rather than from the being itself. “That book…” Confused, you look down to find a tattered leather-bound book inexplicably in your grasp. “It will be your guide. It was written by an explorer long ago. Following their path may help you understand what you've gotten into. And should you lose the book, press [Y].”
As you try to understand the last part of what the being told you, you turn the book over in your hands and find an attached piece of parchment which reads:
The being speaks again as you fixate on the strange note: “It's time for you to go. All will be explained by the next time we meet.”
You look up from the book to find the silhouette is gone. Suddenly, the feeling of weightlessness subsides and you feel yourself… falling?!
