The world stunk. Anon's new Lupine abilities caused immense suffering to him. Within seconds tears streamed from Anon's eyes. Around him the land was broken, cratered, and farting huge clouds of gas. Getting up, Anon stumbled, eyes burning, nose on fire, and head pounding. Then he immediately vomited, wheezed, and gasped. Even his lungs were screaming. So... maybe not the best idea to piss of Loki.
Anon tried to look around. Difficult as the air was nearly as noxious as Anon imagined tear gas must be like. But even doing his best he couldn't see more than 30 feet in any direction. Everything was sort of flat, other than being broken and cratered with little mounds shooting gas up into the air.
"I've got to get out of here." Anon picked a direction and started walking. Within several steps Anon started to see glowing orbs bouncing around him and the world started to burn. The gasses erupting from the ground were now spewing jets of flame, the air itself was now like a furnace. Anon made it another few feet before collapsing, hair and clothing scorching and burning. It took close to an hour of pure agony for the world to fade and Anon found himself back in the same chair floating in its sea of nothingness. Resting his now naked arms on the table staring at the system prompt.
**What entity?**
Wtf... entity? What entity had he even seen? He reviewed his time in the last world. What had he seen? Nothing when he got there, gas, horrible smells, and nothing. Then he had moved and... wait... those glowing balls, were they entities? It was worth a try.

Anon quickly selected **Select All** and said "Yes." The pain hit him again and Anon started to scream again. But, despite the pain being terrible it wasn't quite as bad as last time. It was still worse than being ripped apart by the real Alpha Leader or the endless roasting of the last world. But it didn't quite hold up to the pain of his first upgrade.

"What?" the female Loki slouched in the opposite chair lazily playing with her naked nipple, "You're quiet this time. Don't you want to mouth off again? I got off really good watching you turn into a crispy critter."
"Glad I could help." Anon quipped. Behind a lazy, care-free mask Anon was considering whether to piss Loki off again. If I do I'm likely to end up somewhere miserable again. But look what I got out of it last time, I can now literally absorb fire. Loki seems to be really stupid. Sure the torture hurts, but it's been about a day and I haven't even gained one level, but I can tell right now if I went back to that first world again I would probably rule it. Yeah, it's worth it, Anon thought.
"It was pretty weak though. I mean it didn't hurt much and didn't last long either. Was that really the best you could do? Kind of pathetic if you ask me." Anon laughed.
"Ohhhh.... is that so? You must love pain." Loki gave me a wicked little smile, pinched her nipple hard, moaned, and whispered ".....enjoy." And once again the world faded to black.
The world reformed, and still stunk. But this time it was wet.
"Lovely... a swamp" Anon said. In every direction were trees, vines dangling from the trees down into the swamp, and... of yeah, swamp. Lots, and lots of swamp. And yes, did I mention is stunk? Wet socks, dead things rotting, rotting plants, smells he couldn't quite identify, but every single one of them stunk. Great, just great.
