The Shop

The shop is a… well… a shop in the middle of a desert known as Sandia. It resembles a 7Eleven and appears to have multiple locations. The shop and the shack located nearby outside, are safe-haven areas in the seemingly-infinite desert, floating within the Void, home of terrible creatures and the practically dictator of Sandia, the Void Dweller, although that is another story for another time. Once leaving the shop, you have an extremely-low chance to be let back in, due to only the worthy allowed back, and monsters which get progressively stronger the more you kill. There is also said to be a city somewhere far away, although no one can confirm it exists.

Entering the shop can be achieved by either entering through the front doors, universal gateway/portal/wormhole or using the high-tech Universal Claw, capable of grabbing or throwing you around the multiverse without your consent.

Although entering seems easy enough, leaving is a different story, with only 4 known ways to escape.

1. Escaping via the Void is an option, but a risky one at that; requiring you to dive in and get lucky. Most who do this die, but others also have been teleported to a random universe or the Void Dweller’s domain. If you can strike a deal with him, he will send you to where ever you wish. Most deals involve you doing life-threatening adventures or getting him strange artifacts.

Person 1: "Hey look I think that's The Shop! We're finally safe!
Void Dweller: *Walks in.* "Did someone say safe?"
