Gamble

You sit down at the table and the mysterious figure deals the cards. The game is intense and the stakes are high, but you play with skill and strategy but it's not enough.

In the end, you lose everything, including the small amount of money you had. The mysterious figure reveals himself as the ruler of the maze, and tells you that you have been trapped in a never-ending dream, and you will never wake up from this coma.

You start to wake up slowly, but as consciousness returns, you realize that you are in a coma. Your family and friends are gathered around your bedside, tears streaming down their faces as they tell you that you've been in a coma for weeks, and there is no hope for recovery.

Feeling almost depthless despair, you feel yourself slipping mercifully unconscious again. Everything fades to black, then your vision starts to return. You have no idea where you are but in front of you there is only one way forward.
