This RPG is very simple, and very complex at the same time.
Here's what is happening; you are going insane.
Crazy right?
Well I can't really explain it, I'm just a kid. Why don't we have your doctor tell you all about it?

"The patient's mental condition is steadily deteriorating," reported the psychiatrist. "The longer that they live, the more serious the effects. Right now, all the patient is experiencing is vivid dreaming. But soon that will turn into real-life hallucinations. There have been rumors that the patient's dreams are somehow precognitive. I myself stand with the belief that the patient acts on their own dreams. Thus, they are self-fulfilling predictions, not in any way mystical. We have been able to synthesize a machine that can tell us exactly what the patient is dreaming at any given time, and we seem to have noticed something. If the patient is dreaming something frightening, their heart rate actually spikes as if they were really in a frightening situation. If they are injured in the dream, the injury somehow manifests itself. Although the dream is in no way reality, the patient believes in the reality of this dream so sincerely that if they are injured in the dream, they will subconsciously either injure themselves, or they will have some sort of seizure or heart attack. This form of lucid dreaming is becoming more widespread and dangerous. The longer the patient stays in this comatose state, the more vivid their dreams will become, to the point where dreaming death will actually mean their death. So far, we have been unable to wake them from this neverending dream, but we will continue to try."

So basically, you're dreaming, you can't wake up, and if you die in the dream you're dead. But this is your imagination! Although you obviously can't just godmod, imagination is the key to success in this game. So think about what you could do. Not all dreams are bad dreams by the way; some are good.

Nope, hell just seems chaotic, there's no guard shift or anything. Rules seem to be, if someone's misbehaving beat them. If you see someone, torture em. That's it.

They don't see you flip the bird.
However, it would appear from what you are seeing that they believe you are some kind of freakish dragon monster. That would explain that.

I'll land away from where they can see me and nonchalantly ingratiate myself into the group.

You are not recognized by them because you were so far away when they first saw you.
So what will you do?

Learn from them. Everything I can about their culture, their lives, their weapons, their government, etc.

You do that(+1 Perception). Just as you're getting acclimated in this dream, you wake up again.
This time, you're in some sort of underground cavern. It's completely dark.

You pinch yourself and immediately wake up...
You've left Hell. Now you're walking on a cloud. Before you is an angel. He stands before two pearly golden gates. Behind him you can see a paradise. Behind you, you can see nothing but clouds.
What will you do?

You feel yourself falling far to the ground below. You fall with a splash into the ocean. You see a shark circling below you.

What? I'm not screwing with you, this is how the game goes. Christ.
And just for that, you don't get to ride the dolphin.

The shark leaves.
