Into the game

Michael stepped into the giant hole in the middle of the stage, with his body slowly passing through the Pocket Dimension's threshold feet first.

As soon as his head passed through the portal, his vision changed from an endless blue sky to a thick collection of trees around him. It wasn't a moment later did his feet land squarely upon dry soil did he finally realize that he was directly transported randomly into the territory.

That was smooth. It didn't feel like transportation at all. It felt like I was just walking through a door.

He looked around and tried to find his position relative to the map itself.

Of course, one of the best things to do in this situation was to fly over the trees and see the entire map in a top-down perspective. However, he realized that this may not be a good idea since it could bring a lot of attention onto him from the start.
