"The shadow nation seems like a good place to start, and I don't think I would ever be able to enter the nation if I start out in any of the other countries." said James. "Good choice, the shadow country is the perfect place to start. You can't offend strong people without an escape plan. If you become an assassin, you could easily escape from anyone's grasp; they won't even be able to see you if you learn the special techniques of the shadow country." said Noah in a pleased tone. He continued "for a dumbass you sure are good at making decisions." "Shut up Noah" said James in an irritated voice.
Suddenly the glyphs on Noah's back started to glow green. Before James could even ask what happening him and Noah were shot down below at a terrifying speed. James felt nauseous as he was hurled through the sky trying to make sense of what was happening. Noah was cackling wickedly seeing James in a wretched condition. "That's what you get for talking back to me. Now, to make this more miserable for you, choose your appearance." "WHAT THE HELL NOAH, AHHHHH!!" "Tick tock you're on the clock, come on if you don't choose now, you will get a random face and body HAHA. Oh, I love this job." James quickly got a hold of himself. His survival instincts kicked in. Most people now have a fight or flight response but not James. When James is startled he analyzing. He started thinking about the perfect figure which would not attract any attention. He thought about the most average and common faces he has ever met in his life. He knew the type of face he wanted. James yelled out to Noah "I want a fac-" 'BOOM', he smashed into the ground without getting to choose anything. All he could hear before falling unconscious was Noah uncontrollably laughing. "Burst into flames villainous diary." James thought as his vision was fading.
James woke up in an unfamiliar place. He was in old torn rags which only covered him till his knees. He assessed his physical condition. There was not even a scratch on him which was very surprising since he crashed down from the sky to the ground at such as bizarre speed. The only odd thing was that on his body, there was a stunning tattoo of 4 dragons circling around a purple gem. While observing his surroundings, James saw that he was being transported in a metal cage with 3 boys and a girl. All 4 of looked like they were starving. The only thing good about them were their pretty faces. In front of them was a man covered in a brown leather robe riding a horse. James quickly deduced his situation. "At least Noah got something right, he made me a slave! Wow, I never thought that I would be grateful to someone for making me a slave." thought James.
Now that he thought about it, Noah was nowhere to be seen! James started panicking. "That moron was my guide, where the hell is he?" said James aloud. The other kids stared at him like he was mad. "Ach, this idiot has gone crazy from starvation. Now we have no chance of escaping." mumbled one of the boys in the cage. James asked the man on the horse outside in a meek voice, "Mister, may I have some water?" The man threw a bottle of water at James which hit him right in the face. "Wait till I am stronger, we will see what will happen to you then." he quietly said to himself. James was not actually thirsty. He just wanted to see his face in the reflection of the water. James looked at the water and what he saw was horrifying. "OH NO, I turned into a pretty boy!"
