"Ok, too much? How about those robes? The material is fine and I can sell them for a reasonable price." The demon was quite the business man.
Sinth thought about it. He wasn't wearing anything under the robes. He would be naked and if the demon was lying he would be that way, probably, forever. He didn't really see much choice.
"I'll take that deal," Sinth finally said.
"Good!" the demon replied with a fangy grin.
Sinth took off his clothing and lay it down on the ground. The demon scuttled forward and grabbed the clothing before running to stand before the alleyway.
"The mouth to hell is just over there," the demon said pointing at the local church, "Jump through the hole in the altar and find your way from there. The signs are clearly marked."
The demon disappeared into the alleyway and was gone.
Hell? Naked? Hell was hot. He didn't want that type of suntan.
Sinth walked towards the church. What choice did he really have?

Mage 4: Welcome to the Weird World
Sinth has found himself in a world he cannot understand. Living with a old woman who thinks he is an alien and being forced into a competition by his new friends. He finds himself having to use his magic to win possibly the hardest competition of his life.

Sinth didn't really know if they were right, but he didn't want to end up dead here and magic was the only weapon he had.
He mumbled a short spell and hit the man's knife with one finger. The blade shattered and the man looked at him with shock in his eyes.
The man ran away screaming and his friends looked at him as if he was mad. No one had seen Sinth's little display and he was already grinding the broken metal into the ground with his trainers.
The group decided that with one member on his way out that it would be a good idea to retreat and so they all started running towards the park gate.
Sinth's friends stood around him and smiled.
"You did well, Sit." His name came out as Sit with these guys.
"Thanks." Sinth was honestly pleased.
"Those guys are our competitors for the big competition, you know what I mean?" the leader said.
Sinth had no idea but smiled and nodded as if he did.
"Sit, you should come too. Danny has been out of the game for a bit because his mum has been beating on him to get a job. We need another member," the leader said.
