Having found a ruined city in the mountains, I sit and rest for a while in what might have once been a grand temple. I think of how I got into this mess, how I ended up trapped here in hell...

I had learned to make portals between worlds by studying demonic magic, and had never thought to try to look for an alternative. Hadn't thought that there might be consequences at some point. Hadn't even realized how stupid that was until the portal I tried to go through dumped me in hell and I found myself unable to make new portals here.

I sit there cursing myself for my laziness and stupidity for a while, then decide to follow the city ruins deeper into the mountains.
