Jim dies and is reborn as the only new player in a long-abandoned beginner zone. Its monsters are dangerous, and his companion is a demon reduced to the size of a plush toy.

## What makes it funny?

The demon wants Jim alive so it can kill him later. That selfish reason for protecting him makes their forced partnership an arrangement neither would choose.

### The comedy at work

A beginner zone should offer a newcomer somewhere to learn. Centuries of neglect have made this one unsuitable for beginners, leaving Jim to discover how little reassurance a familiar game label provides.

### Try this if…

Game rules and leveling shape Jim's attempts to survive the abandoned region. The uneasy companionship gives those survival problems a second source of friction.
