People were really concerned about the person lying on the table nonchalantly without moving even a inch. The waiter was about to wake him but suddenly the person laying started moving. It was no other than Damark, He opened his eyes and saw that his head was on the table side-wise. When he lifted his head saw that people were grazing him with pointed views. He grabbed his head by his hand to stabilize it, because the world was spinning. Suddenly, he felt something coming up his mouth, it was very vigorous and he couldn't control it. He vomitted mindlessly on the floor making the hotel floor dirty. He quickly stood up and went to the washroom and vomitted without stopping. He wanted to cry but his vomiting won't stop, he wanted to stop but his stomach wanted to contract.
After some time, it stopped and he splashed water on his face. He looked on his face, it was Damark.
Damark found that he had returned to where he was, he was a bit worried about what will happen when he will move towards the diamond face which showed this reflection but luckily he had returned. He looked over to his watch, and found that only 1 hr had passed while in that world it was almost 3 hrs till everything happened. He was scared as well as confused, he couldn't understand whether to accept everything that had happened to him or to feel that he had gone through a terrifying dream.
"Just what happened to me? Where did I go? I just read the book and suddenly I felt dizziness."
"....aa..may..be it all started yesterday? Maybe... That man in the video knows what had happened to me....??"
"I should check it!" He thought with a half hearted smile.
He opened his phone and scrolled down but couldn't find anything. It was really strange. "Maybe I should go and check the video in my TV."
He washed his face with water again, cleaning all the mess and left the hotel as quickly as possible.
The sunset sky had painted it with red beautiful colour, but to Damark it was bloody red colour. He was terrified and didn't want to say anything to anyone. He wanted to talk about this to a police or a hospital but he was not sure whether to consider the incident as a dream or reality.
He wanted to check something first.
He reached home and quickly turned on his TV, and looked through the channel which uploaded that video the day before.
"This....?!??"
"What is going on?"
"Where did the video go!!!!????"
His expressions darkened, he wanted to shouted like hell. He staggered behind his bed and was in a dazed state.
"Was everything true?"
"Wait!!!"
He quickly checked the info of the channel to check when did they upload the last video.
"...Please don't tell me..."
The account was created 4 hr before...
"How is this possible??? I was looking through the video just yesterday!! And many people were watching with me!? Where did they all go!!!!!"
He checked everywhere but he couldn't find a single trace about them.
Just then, he saw a small article saying:
[Shocking News! 211 people reported to be affected by Limbeat at the same time]
He frowned and checked over it.
Today, National Limbeat Healthcare (NLH) of Serel were flooded with 211 people reported with Limbeat. The involved people are investigated to find some clues. Right now, the president had given the statement "Please don't panic we will take control of the situation and let you now soon". People are scared, and want an explanation. Roads are jammed due to sudden appearance of many families in the neighborhood.
Damark was even more shocked. He couldn't understand anything.
He checked the timing of the publication of the article. It was published 4 hrs before from now. His head was paining and wanted to deny everything.
But things were falling into the place, him being accustomed to a mirror, him being watching the same video as others and him being transported into the story at the same time as he read the book. But, how could such a thing be true in reality.
"Okay, let's calm down and try to think what had happened."
"I picked up the mirror and saw the line, then I threw it but never found it. Then the same line was said by a person on a video saying that we say that line on the 'Object'. Then he pointed the finger towards the camera and I fainted but nothing happened except for the pain. Then there was sudden occurence of people reading books? Announced by Weries company, which filled the library. But what if the people in the library were not in search of Weries books? But rather for that book."
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
"Then I found the exact story and I fainted again and was transported to that book, and anyhow I came back."
He pondered deeply but couldn't find any reason or link.
"Was I really transferred to that book? Or I was in a dream, but it was too real to be a dream."
"And was my heart really beating only 1 beat per hour in that moment?"
He pressed his hand on his chest to feel his beating of his heart. The throbbing sensation was normal and nothing was out of place.
"What should I do? I can't figure out anything "
He wanted to go to a psychiatrist but as soon as he mentions the word 'Limbeat', he would be confiscated and will not be allowed by the government to leave until their investigation was done. It was a bit suspicious but the condition was also unknown.
"Wait?! I have an idea"
He opened his computer and searched for the book's name.
The book was present with the same cover as that in the hotel. He clicked on buy, it was pretty expensive being 120 Yos, but he didn't bother much for now! He downloaded the softcopy version of the book and opened it. It was empty there was only one thing on the page written in small texts.
{Print out this white page to read the book}
Damark was taken aback, "talk about scamming! Printing a white page will give white page! If it weren't for this condition I would have never paid money for it!"
He printed the book anyway making a darkened face. The white page printed out slowly, revealing the secret on the page.
But.. disappointment was on its peak!
There was nothing on it only the text was present which directed to print the page.
Damark frowned making an angry face, "How did I fall for such a pety trick". He lied down on his bed looking up his ceiling, it was already night. The moonlight was shining through his window onto the table, making the paper lit up. He was angry, and woke up from his bed. Picking up a pen and wanted to vent off his anger by rubbing it aimlessly on the paper. "This paper made me more angry! I will destroy each and every part of this paper". Suddenly the paper started vibrating and the ink line that he drew started moving on its own. The ink strokes started to align into a more understandable way. Slowly, it changed to letters and then to sentences. Damark's eyes widened, "oh man! Am I really high today? What is happening again?" The scribings slowly started to come up. The boy was in state of fear from the wolves, he couldn't move and was killed. The ink strokes again vanished and started appearing as new: the boy started running in search of safety but he tripped over a stone and was killed. "Isn't this the same story but with different results? Huh!????"
"No way....."
The 211 people started all over again. The boy was shocked and fell down unconscious
"Wait a sec...!? 211? Isn't that the same number of people who were reported today in the NLH?"
"..."
His lips were trembling in fear even thinking about these things.
"This not right....."
"So you are saying that the people that were reported for the condition of Limbeat were actually the people who are trapped in the story!??????"
"But who decided this?" His eyes widened.
"Why only I am out of that story and not others?"
"Did I do something different??"
The paper kept scrambling over and over again. Suddenly it stopped and the sentence changed:
If you are able to read this, this means that you may have completed the story and avoided the tempting pleasure of the ideal book world. There is no use in sharing this information with others, once you even say them the information they will forget everything you say.
Stories are our representation of an ideal world.
The scrambling suddenly stopped and left Damark speechless.
"What is wrong with this page?"
"Say more?"
"What will happen to me? If I completed the story?"
"Why was I able to do it?"
"And who is behind this!"
So many things happened in just one day that Damark was not able to comprehend anything. "I can't even share this with anyone, they want me to stay silent after experiencing such torture?".
He wanted to believe that everything happening to him was a dream but sadly the page remained with the same sentences. The ink was decreased, and the bed was messed up.
"What should I do!?"
He laid down on the bed again, this was his favourite place to relax after working for whole day in the office.
Time passed slowly, and his eyes started closing due to the stress that he faced all day. He fell asleep unconsciously.
He found himself the same dark place that he was before and couldn't understand what was going on. He loomed around but there was only dark and darkness up to end of his sight.
Suddenly he started feeling shaking from the ground and the dark place above him broke! It was broken by an needle shaped object. His curiosity piqued and he floated towards the broken dark area towards the needle which was shining a white light.
He floated towards it slowly, the surroundings was like water but there was no feeling of suffocation only the movements were exactly same like that of inside water.
When he reached the needle, he realised that it was not actually a needle, it was actually a big portion of a shiny yellow thing which seems like a needle from far.
He saw a door in the white light which was highlighted by some dark object surrounding it.
He went forward and opened the door slowly with hesitation. With the door opening the light from inside started increaisng, it was the same white light that was coming from the outside. He went forward and entered the room throught the door. He was flashed by the light and he couldn't see anything until he saw that the light slowly started fading. The light faded and he was left inside a dim lighted room. The ceiling was beating like a living thing shining light slowly, there were small pipe like things on the ceiling. It was very vast area and the ground was purely back, it was very dim light that you could only see upto few metres. He saw a spherical orb floating in the middle of the room, it was a little big than an average football. He closed the distance between it and him. It was very releasing an enormous amount of light that was very bright for anyone, he wanted to touch it but he feared that he will be faded to nothing. But he couldn't control himself and he touched the orb. His hands started burning like fire but he couldn't lift off his hand from the orb, his legs started feeling numb. If was burning but for strange reasons he couldn't shout, slowly the orb started getting bigger and bigger.
It slowly became so big that it almost covered him.
Boomm
The orb bursted on his face making him flashed by it. He instinctively closed his eyes but when he opened his eyes he saw that the room had became bring unlike earlier. The room had many corner and few things were present on the corners. He started approaching a corner, and saw that a white coloured small podium was present there. The podium had a green coloured button on it, with saying Lie to Truth. He was confused and didn't know what to do. So he left the corner and started moving towards the other. But as he approached the other, it started getting farther. Suddenly the white room became black and he snapped out of the dream.
Gasp "what was that?"
He felt a tingling sensation near his heart when he woke up.
He brought his hand towards his heart and touched his chest. Suddenly, the tingling sensation started becoming a pain. He gritted his teeths and closed his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes.
