Falling through this empty place,
a land which has no time.
Soulless people walk these lands,
and the bells they do not chime.

How did I end up in this world,
a world so hollow within.
I guess I should journey forth,
and let my unknown quest begin.

I travel for days without directions,
could be walking in circles for all I know.
Then one day I came to a halt,
there was a man that said he had something to show.

He didn't fit in with the rest,
looked sort of divine.
And he gave me map of the world,
said that once it was his and now it is mine.

He pointed to a certain place on it,
told me go there right away.
It would take a long time to go there,
but it was obvious the man didn't want me to stay.

So I traveled for days on end,
Saw nothing that had a place in reality.
Most of it an horrid illusion,
some distant part of my insanity.

Until I came to the hut,
the place the man did mention.
There was an smithy there,
and he handed me a weapon.

Told me to battle the small creatures,
that are swarming his lot.
What kind of world is this,
that has such a dire plot?

I had no choice but to do as told,
so I ventured out on his land.
Forward I strode feeling so bold,
never before had I held a sword in my hand.

I saw a creature not far away,
ran to it and with my sword slashed.
I didn't notice another coming behind me,
while I fought one the other my back bashed.

It was good thing they were weak,
or else I would be dead.
So I killed them both,
saw a cave and made myself a bed.

I needed rest and was badly hurt,
that night I dreamt of being a sire.
But that would not be possible,
until my battle experience was higher.

The following day I ran with my sword,
out to the field and did nothing but battle.
Countless foes both strong and weak,
I hacked at them until I saw their bones rattle.

Some had some kind of currency,
which I kept for myself.
In the end of the day I went to the smithy,
and bought some stuff of his shelf.

Now I was a bit stronger,
and better protected.
I was glad with todays work,
and from the server I ejected.
