"Excuse me, can you spare me a moment to fill out this survey?"I looked down and saw a cute girl with a piece of paper in her hands. I had a bit of spare time, so I decided to fill it out.
"Yes, of course." I replied. She gave me a simple
"Thank you" as her response.
I looked at the survey, there was just a single question.
"If you could become a mercenary that could jump between universes and/or dimensions, at a cost of leaving your previous life, would you become one?" Basically a yes or no question, nothing besides it.
It was a very strange question, but I thought that it was probably just some kind of psychological question for some stupid essay, I put an 'x' on the YES box.
Then the reality wrapped around itself, and in a second I was standing, completely shocked, in a large, circular room. The walls were covered by red curtains, the ceiling was coloured black and the floor was just metal tile. There was also a dark wooden desk at which that cute girl was sitting behind, and in front of it there was a single chair, facing the desk.
She motioned me to sit on that chair. I was very confused, I thought I was dreaming however I made no effort to confirm that. I sat in front of her, she gave me a couple of papers and stated:
"Thank you for accepting my offer, you will now join one of the Schools that will teach you how to become a proper Jumper. Please fill out these papers, sign here and here, and we will be able to continue."I was not sure how to respond to that, but because I thought it was all a dream, I just rolled with it.
I started filling out the papers she gave me.

I have no idea where I'm going with this or how long I'm going to run this before I get bored of it. It's a compilation of various ideas for suggestion games I had over the past half of a year, so basically it's everything you want it to be. Also, I may or may not be inspired by the things I tend to read on the internet, please don't scream at me when you see something ripped-off from somewhere.
