I''m still in the dark here. Why am I not back in my world? Where am I?
"Doktor Urmind!"
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
I can''t see anything.
I can''t hear anything.
Am I dead? I wish I could get back to a place. My world, my player''s world, any world would do.

I yell, "Doktor Urmind? Hello? Can anyone hear me?"
Anybody?This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
I yell louder, "Doktor Urmind. I know you''re out there. You''re always out there. Watching. Listening. Messing with my system messages. Talk to me. Please."
I hope he answers me soon.
I whisper to the darkness, "Is anyone there?"
I''m afraid.

I''m running down a long hallway. I''ve got to get somewhere. It''s important. I hope I get there in time.

Huh? What?
I''m looking at words on a screen.
I''m somewhere! Where am I?
I''m in Doktor Urmind''s office. I''m sitting in his chair. I was looking at his [laptop computer]. I''m wearing his clothes.
"What?"
I stand up. I look around. The room looks just like Urmind''soffice in town, the one without adoor.
What''s going on? What happened? Is my player ok?

I pull up my friend list. I see my name on it twice and a bunch of names that I don''t recognize. I check my character sheet.
I''m logged in as Doktor Urmind.
