The Afterlife gradually faded until everybody was surrounded by darkness.
"Wow! Wooooow! Really cool stuff!" The voice of the Cultivator echoed in the void, but there was no sign of the Cultivator herself. She hadn't even bothered to prevent any of the contestants from moving. After all, it wasn't like there was anywhere to run off to.
"Exciting! Ah, sorry, I'll bring up the next stage now~"
"Hey!" Calm shouted and was a little surprised to hear Gormand and even Ziir (didn't he used to not have a mouth...?) call out with him. But either the Cultivator was distracted and didn't hear or was deliberately ignoring them because the only response was another environment slowly fading in.
The new stage focused. It would have been a normal house. If everything wasn't so big.
"Now have you gotten small or has everything gotten big? If you're small, how're you seeing and hearing so well? And if everything's giant, then how come they're not subject to the square-cube law? Well, it doesn't matter! Welcome to a giant's house, where everyday objects are now almost unnegotiable obstacles! Physics are the least of your problems here! The giant's sleeping right now, but if you make enough noise, he just might wake uuuup~ And wouldn't that be interesting? Have fuuuun!"
