Ding!

That's right, I still have my phone!

Wait, my phone? Even though I'm supposed to be dead?

That's not right.

I pulled it out, and took a look at my screen.

I was greeted by an odd message: Welcome to the Attraction System! Would the customer like to download this app?

Yes? or No?

"Huh? Attraction System? What's that? And why the hell would I download something so suspicious?" I asked out loud.

Let's ignore it and call someone.

If I still have my phone it must mean that I'm still alive.

Though it still didn't explain this dark room I'm in.

Perhaps I got kidnapped and slept through the whole thing.

They must be pretty stupid to leave it here.

I pressed the "No" button immediately.

My screen suddenly turned off as soon as I did so.

I stared at it, "what! Did the battery just die?"

No wonder why they didn't bother to take it from me.

I pressed the screen constantly, there was no reaction.

Damn that app! It must have given my phone a virus!

Now what?

Ugh! Why is nothing going my way?

Suddenly my dark screen lit up again.

I stared at it and was greeted with that same message.

Whatever, I'll just press "Yes" this time.

I did so and was greeted with a downloading bar.

It began at one percent and didn't move for a whole damn minute.

Ughhhh!

This will definitely take a while!

A whole two hours went by before I checked my phone for the fifteenth time.

Download Completed.

Ah, finally!

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

A new message popped up once I pressed the "Ok" button.

Message: Welcome! This is the Attraction System where the customer will get the chance to run a business. There are five choices to choose from. Each attration will start with one building to get you started. Please choose the type of attraction that you wish for.

Huh? What kind of scam is this?

A list popped up on my screen immediately after the message.

5. Fantasy World: Something magical may happen. Start off with a plot of land and a mystery building.

Choose Attraction

Should I randomly choose one? If I can get past this maybe I'll be able to call the police before whoever kidnapped me returned?

I guess it wouldn't hurt to have something to do while I sit here.

This must be some kind of game for me to play, it's the only explanation.

It's pretty hard to choose one of these, but the last one kind of stands out from the rest.

I wonder if it's kind of like disneyland or something?

Whatever I'll just pick it.

I pressed "Choose Attraction"" for the number five choice and waited for a game screen or something.

Instead another message appeared.

Message: Congratulations! You are now the owner of a new plot of land. Please standby while we load the progress.

This time a progress bar popped up.

Dammit!

How long will I have to wait this time?

Should I just give up on trying to play this game and go to sleep?

No! There's no telling what kind of crazy people kidnapped me, I should be patient.

Ding!

I checked.

Load Completed.

Suddenly a bright light appeared before me in the shape of a doorway.

Is this a trap?

Will someone appear from that doorway and kill me?

I sat there but there was no one appearing.

Whatever, I won't care!

I stood and dashed towards the light until I stepped out onto grass.

Whoa!

I was now looking at nothing but a flat grassy plain surrounded by a blue sky.

When I turned around there was no door, hell there wasn't even a building.

What the hell is happening right now!?

Ding!

I lifted my phone and stared at the screen.

On the screen was another message.

Message: Hello Owner! I'm your System Administrator. You can call me Zee. First of all let me explain the situation to you once again. You have the opportunity to start a business attraction. With this Attraction System you must complete certain tasks in order to upgrade and earn rewards for the completed tasks. You will start with an inventory that has a starter building and a few supplies. I will also send you the first task for you to complete after this message. It doesn't seem real, I know. But I can assure you this is not a scam. Open up the inventory app that will appear on your phone and pull out your building to lay it on the plot. One more thing, the plot before you is all there is. If you wish for more land you must buy it. Oh right, you won't be able to contact the outside world either, that's something you earn. There won't be a phone app, the only one you will have will be your inventory app. I hope that you will become a great Attraction Owner, this message is recorded, you will not be able to text back.

After the message my screen went black again but it was only for a split second before it came back on to reveal my usual background screen.

Just as the message have informed there was only one app in my phone now. No signs of my old apps nor the phone app.

Is this really not a dream?

If I went along with this, will I be able to leave this weird space?

Let's just see what happens from here.

Ding!

This must be the tasks that the system administrator messaged about.

A Task app appeared next to the Inventory app, I pressed it and another screen popped up.

Tasks

1. Set up first building

2. Hire first employee

3. Name Fantasy World

Reward: 300 Attraction Points

Reward: Shop App
