::The Bermuda Maze::
It is a scientific anomaly. The Bermuda Triangle radiates an intensity of energy so dense that it creates a space that most humans avoid due to the dangerous rumors of unexplained accidents involving the technology of all stripes. Technology passing through this area that has Navis carried within it naturally shuts down for their owners - the Navis within are mysteriously transported into the depths of a strange space quite unlike any other Cyberspace within the Net; it has no access point, and only one entrance. Treacherous and bleak, above sickly green clouds, with dark pathways that are rumored to make visitors lose their way for eternity, that place is the Bermuda Maze, a labyrinth of EM Waves that causes disaster even in the real world.
It doesn't take long after entering the maze for the powerfully disruptive EM Waves that it emits to interfere with a Navi's connection to the world beyond, making simply logging out of the Bermuda Maze impossible - one has to physically find the only warp point that acts as an exit to leave. Other beings have similar difficulty simply exiting the maze whenever they please. Deeper into the labyrinth, that effect only intensifies and starts affecting electronics in general, an intense density that is the cause of the dangers on the real world outside of it. Traversing the place is a nightmare in and of itself, as its path is full of twists and turns, broken sections, dead ends, and high-density EM Wave streams that propel travelers forwards at high speeds to unknown places. As if that wasn't enough, the majority of the labyrinth is covered in dense purple fog that hinders visibility and can easily make one forget where they came from.
The most common thing to be found within the Bermuda Maze are areas infested with viruses, dead ends, and paths that loop back to areas that travelers have already seen. Traversing the Maze without a guide is foolish and dangerous, and ultimately destined to fail - any time spent within the maze takes about twice as much time to get back out again, no matter how meticulously one tracks their path through it. Strange beings maneuver about within the maze, large beings that wear black overcoats and a broad top hat with red eyes and a lantern . . .
These beings seem to know the path to traverse the maze, as they move about sporadically and without cause, but never seem to stumble upon the same area twice or to find an area infested with viruses. Following them is treacherous in and of itself, however, as they move quickly without any care for those that might be using them as a guide, and change direction so erratically that any given path might end up the wrong one unless those following change directions at the last second alongside them. They speak in a dialect that is impossible to decipher.
