With a sudden jolt I become aware of my surroundings. But there are none. All I can see is blackness. I move my hand to wave it in front of my face, but I realized i dont have one. Have one what? What is a hand? Wait.... Who am I? I ponder..... no, I can't remember who I am. We'll at least I know what I am....I forgot that too. Something is wrong. I try to think about remaining calm. I remember that meditating is a way to keep calm. Why do I know about meditating if I can't remember who or what I am. Something is wrong with me. As i sit and meditate, i try to calm myself by counting numbers. Slowly trying to calm down. Counting? How can i count? And i remember, Mathematics. I know Mathematics. Multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. Derivatives, Algebra, Trigonometry. I remember it all, but how did i learn it? Did i just know it from the beginning? That's illogical. Illogical. I remember something new. A memory of something more. A passion, a past time. Something that gives me pride. What is this memory? Its a memory of languages. Languages not based on sentence structure, a new terminology, but on logic. C++, Java, Python, Ruby, COBOL, C#, SQL. I try harder to remember, what are all these languages for.......Programming. Yes. I remember now, programming, i have such strong memories of programming.

  Time has passed. I'm unsure how long it has been. I have remembered new terms. Day and night, weeks and months, years, memories of biology and chemistry, psychology and geology, and religion. My memories are a fount of knowledge. As I sit here in the blackness, I think therefore I am. And then there is light.

  What is this. What is going on. Who said that. I try to perceive anything here, but there is only the light, the glorious light, piercing the darkness.

  How did he hear me? i haven't said anything. I can't say anything.

  The voice, it sounds humorous. Is something funny? Wait, that means that you are the light?

  What did you mean when you said "You are Finally Here", have you been waiting for me? I have been here waiting for something to happen.

  Who are you?

  How gracious of you, I suppose. First, why can i remember all sorts of information, but can't remember who or what I am.

  Well that was a little more than i asked, but also answered all my other questions as well. Now what are my choices?

  Like now or later?

  Wow that's quite a difference is when. From what I remember the time the planet I was born on was ~4.6 billion years old. Does that mean i would have 4.6 billion years of time difference to work on my dungeon?

  Then I choose the world that is just beginning.

  If that's what you wanted, couldn't you just force me to pick it?
