You are dead. Your life was probably complex and full of events of various kinds, but one thing is sure, you don't remember well what happened.

After what seemed like a long dream, you wake up, in a new body similar from the one you had before you died - you seem to be feeling perfectly fine: no wounds, no illnesses, this new body feels spotless and perfect.

You stand up and notice that you are as naked as in the first day. Looking around you, you notice you're in a square room, with bland, gray walls made of what looks like concrete. No windows, and some kind of door ahead of you. Above you, white, fluorescent light. And hanging from the ceiling, in the corner, some sort of loudspeaker.

&quot;Hello, new [[Contestant|contestant]]. Welcome to this place, which we call [[Mazeworld]]! You must be wondering why you are here, right? Well, I will explain. Your soul was judged worthy enough to be saved from your past life, and we are essentially giving you a chance for reincarnation. However, this is not going to be simple. Your objective is to find a way out of the mazes, preferably in a good enough shape as the body you now have, must be taken care of. For you will leave Mazeworld in this body, dead or alive.

They are scattered in the Mazes and can only be obtained through skill, patience, endurance, luck. No matter how long it takes to find them, you must continue until you find all four.<br />
