I open my mouth to scream but nothing comes out as I writhe in agony on the rocky floor.

Not only was the pain like someone sent burning needles not only inside every part of me, but it continued to move throughout my body as no cell, bone or organ was spared from the worm like needles. Worst is that it doesn't feel like stopping anytime soon and the air feels too light, not the air itself but like something was missing from it making it hard to breath which combined with the horrible needles made this so painful I wanted to pass out but every time I felt like I was going unconscious a new wave of needles would spread through my body but luckily it would be slightly less painful than before but it would be long before it would be tolerable.

So I lay there twitching and whimpering in pain trying not to scream as I hyperventilate trying to get whatever is missing from the air inside my body but failing to do so with the only good thing in the situation being the needles are slowly but surely going to stop piercing and worming through my agonising body.

No way should that voice have said "going to be painful" so casually if this was what it was like.

I don't know if the others are going through what I am but at the very least they can't see me like this and now that I have been sitting here for what feels like, and probably has been hours I can finally think about something other than this pain to get my mind off it.

How did I get to the White Realm? What are these memories I am supposed to "Remember"? and what am I supposed to do when I can move again?

I don't think I will be able to ask these questions to the now appropriately named "Voice" anymore so maybe the other people will be able to shed some light on it. But that brings the question on how the fuck I am supposed to even get out of here, wait where is here?

Focusing on using my eyes again I try to take in my surroundings, which look like if you went and gave steroids to a cave.

Scratch that, steroids to a whole ass world. Everywhere I look you either see volcanic like rock, cliffs, hills, boulders and even floating diamond shaped rocks. The floating diamond shaped rocks are truly massive, if there was a skyline they would go past even the tallest skyscrapers and even the ones closest to the surface are hundreds of meters up floating without a care in the world. Wait skyscrapers, why do I know what a skyscraper is? I attempt to follow the memory but the pain makes it too difficult to follow. Screw it, I can just do it later.

Going back to my surrounding I look for more of the impressive diamond structures however they are only few, with the majority of the area filled with both small and large stalactites reaching down hundreds of meters down from the ceiling which is so high up but so big that I don't know if I could give it a number but definitely over 5 kilometers up.

Stalagmites also reach up with a few even reaching other stalactites combing to make kilometer thick grand pillars.

Wait, if it is a giant cave where is this light coming from?

Sadly I am still squirming on the floor in pain so I can't see what is making this massive cave bright, well bright is a bit of an exaggeration but it is definitely not dark save for the shadows under the floating diamond rocks. For what is supposed to be the Demon Realm this place is quite expansive and grand, not even being the so-called main realm. I wonder what the other realms look like.

For now I guess I will just lay here and wait for the pain to pass, while taking in the landscape and the mysterious floating snow-like substances that occasionally float down from time to time.

Time passes and as questions come and go I keep coming back to a major one since I am beginning to be able to move, what do I do first? Is it dangerous here? Actually if it was truly dangerous I would have been killed hours ago when I couldn't move but you can never dismiss the possibility. However the first question I can't seem to come up with a good answer for, do I explore, look for shelter or look for something, the issue with the last one is I actually need something to look for in the first place so it is out of the question.

So that leaves shelter or exploring, but what do I need shelter from in the first place? It keeps popping up in the head as something vital to do but I can't remember why, same with things called food and water but I can just get those later. Until I know what I need shelter from in the first place I think it would be best to explore my surroundings and see from there.

I finally start to get up, stumbling a few times before I finally get good balance and look at the landscape around me. Including the stalactites, stalagmites and floating diamonds I notice that there are a few areas with no boulders or spires instead of the standard greyish black is covered in a snow like substance, wait not snow but something similar, but I can't make it out from this distance. The patch of snow like dust is a good 300 meters downwards to my right, looking behind me I notice I was on a sort of ledge on a good sized hill nearly 20 meters from what I will call the ground but with the shape of the landscape I could just be on a massive floating island for all I know. Luckily the ledge I am on goes downwards on around a 20 degree angle and isn't a steep drop so It is possible that I could walk to the snow area without worrying about breaking my legs.

further behind me is another giant floating diamond but is a fair distance away and I wont be getting to it anytime soon but when I look to my right there is a massive mountain with half the top missing looking like a composite type volcano with massive spires, some pointing outwards while others point straight up giving it a foreboding look with slight smoke rising from the top and is around the same distance away as the floating diamond behind me or maybe even further.

Straight ahead however is one of the massive pillars I mentioned earlier, towering up to meet the roof but what lies beyond I can't see unless I walk around it. These things are gigantic and kilometers away, how am I supposed to get anywhere when I am so tiny.

Again I shelved that thought for later and decided to go towards the snow field, partly because it looks like the safest area and partly because it wont take me days to get to. I wonder if this weird snow will count as food, not like I really know what it is, though I thought that food is supposed to stop me from going hungry but I have yet to find out what that is.

This is annoying, I still feel like shit, the needles have stopped feeling like hot pokers but are definitely still there and uncomfortable while the air still feels too light. I don't feel like it is the air itself that is the issue but rather whatever is "missing" from it, though I at least don't feel like I am suffocating anymore.

Deciding to finally get moving, I start heading down the hill, trying to not fall down on the way as not only am I not fully used to my body but the now uncomfortable needles moving through my body make it hard to fully focus. My body and mind may feel like I have a hangover but at least this landscape makes it hard to fully hate my situation. I think as I move downwards while looking at the otherworldly view.
