Once the group of humans had properly gotten moving, the woman spoke up once more.

[color=7ea7d8]"Allow me to introduce myself. You may call me 'Yama', though I ask that you do not confuse me with the one who was originally granted that name. A god of his standing would likely be offended by such a comparison."[/color] She explained simply, her tone level and calm, save for the trace of a playful lilt underneath. [color=7ea7d8]"I spatially transferred all of you to this location, to explain what will begin shortly. For some of you, I attended to your...clothing, as well. I ask you hold your questions and statements of incredulity until I have finished speaking."[/color] Punctuating her statement with a dismissive wave, she went on.

[color=7ea7d8]"You see, you have no doubt noticed that this does not seem like the world you have lived in, the primary indication for that being the sky. That is because this is a separate dimensional space, a space known as 'Naraka' that I have created. Within this field, it is possible to ignite human desire. All of you humans have a desire at the core of your existence; in the case of ones such as you, who are halfway to becoming aware of it and who have a strong desire by human standards, it is possible to wield this desire in a manner that one could call 'magic'. This is the information you've received from Naraka, the information of what your own desire can achieve. By the way, do not attempt to utilize these abilities at the current time. This instance of Naraka is only partial, so most of these abilities are currently inaccessible. A little precaution to keep you from being unruly before my explanations have finished." [/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"Now then, allow me to cut to the chase. When I finish speaking here, I will send you back to where I had taken you from, and the first instance of Naraka will begin. From this point onwards, once a day, Naraka will appear. You will be able to notice it rather obviously, as not only will the sky take on the same color you see currently, but also, all life besides those of you present here will disappear from the city, leaving only wielders of magic."[/color] The woman explained, gesturing around her at the gathered group as if to further hammer this notion in. [color=7ea7d8]"It is there, in Naraka, you will fight to the death. A day's Naraka will not disappear and return you to your normal world until one of you dies, and if within twenty-four hours Naraka has not ended, all of you will immediately die as a result of the system, so do not think you can refuse to fight."[/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"Call this preposterous or whatever it is you like, you can even deny this as a dream, but this is the reality you will be forced to face when the first Naraka begins in a handful of minutes. This is a battle royale between each of you, and by the end of it only one of you will survive. As such, even if you think this is but a foolish dream...well, I wish you the best of luck." [/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"Those who are killed during Naraka will stay dead. When Naraka ends, those who died within it will be erased from existence; they will be forever forgotten by everyone, everyone besides you. Should you die in Naraka, your friends and family will not remember you, there will be no documents such as your birth certificate; all traces that you had ever existed will disappear, so do not think that the police can aid you here." [/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"In the first place..."[/color] Her expression darkened slightly, as though she'd just tasted something unpleasant. [color=7ea7d8]"If you really do attempt to bring others into this fray, I will simply kill them and you both. The rules to abide by to avoid my ire are simple: Do not inform or involve non-competitors with anything regarding Naraka. Do not kill, purposefully injure, attempt to kill, harass, or inflict any other form of antagonism upon non-competitors or competitors outside of Naraka. Do not attempt to defy me. So long as you are reasonable, there is nothing to fear." [/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"With that said, I am not heartless. In exchange for fighting, there is a prize at the end of this road. The one who defeats their competitors and wins gains a truly wonderful prize: A single wish, granted by the Naraka System. The dead can be revived, you can gain godlike power, the only restrictions are obvious ones. For instance, you cannot use that horribly human notion of 'wishing for multiple wishes', nor may you wish to end the Naraka System, or for a power that surpasses that of the Naraka System. Revival of the dead is limited to one individual, and historical alteration cannot breach that rule."[/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"This covers the explanation I will be giving. If you would like to ask clarifying questions regarding Naraka, the 'wish' of the victor, and the like, then feel free to do so. Any individual who declares how confident they are that forces such as magic do not exist and that this is some large-scale 'joke' or a dream will be proven incorrect in mere minutes, so I ask that they do not declare their skepticism. If you believe me to be a 'shitty cosplayer' who kidnapped you from your homes, or think this is a dream, then I ask that you play along."[/color] Spreading her arms like inviting a group hug, a coy smile split the woman's face in two. [color=7ea7d8]"So, do we have any questions?"[/color]
