Nathaniel was pretty sure he shouldn't drive, instead he decided to go to brod's apartment.
It wasn't the first time. brod's apartment was two blocks away from the bar, and Nathaniel was crushing on brod's couch every time that he was drunk after work.
He stumbled through the street, not really knowing if he said sorry to someone he bumped into, or if it was just a tree.
The first sign of trouble was when he entered the apartment building, instead of the usual stairs and elevator, there was a door and a huge closet.
WTF?
he closed his eyes, slowly feeling the whiskey thumping through his head.
Maybe I shouldn't drink the whole bottle next time.
He opened one eye, hoping to see the familiar elevator, but the huge closet insisted to remain 'not an elevator'.
The responsible voice in his mind mumble something about needing to not be here, so he turned around and sent his hand to grab the door handle, but there was no door behind him.
the responsible voice burst out laughing.
He fell to the floor laughing, knowing there's something very wrong happening around him.
After some time passed and the laughter subsided, Nathaniel was a little more focus.
He got to his feet, and walk to the door.
Obviously I came through this door.
This time he didn't laugh, the door was made of wood planks and didn't even move.
Nathaniel was starting to sober up, the situation was serious, his vision wasn't clear, and he still wasn't stable on his feet, but he was thinking in the right direction.
The right direction didn't mean fast though, and it was hard to focus on one subject, when his mind kept wondering around.
After a while, he decided to open the closet, it was made of gray metal, and had three doors.
When he examined the doors, he saw that every door has two icons at the top.
All three doors had a fire icon, and a sword, shield, and a blue vial, each on one door.
All three doors where empty.
"Mother fucker"
To his surprise, a female voice answer.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that"
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
Wtf?
"Siri"?
"Would you like me to answer"?
"Yes, please"
"Yes"
"Yes what"?
"I'm sorry, it seemed to me that you've asked if I'm Siri, would you like to ask again"?
"Yes, no, what is going on here"?
"I do not know"
What?
He shook his head violently.
What kind of Siri is that?
"I do not know"
"Wait, did I say that out loud"?
"No"
"I… you… why… wait, I'm drunk, no drugs, right? It was just whiskey, right?"
"I have no knowledge of events that happened before you arrived here"
"And where is here"?
"I do not know"
That's not helpful.
"I'm sorry, would you like me to tell you a joke"?
Ha
…
"Later when I'm not drunk. I guess?"
"okey"
Nathaniel started to search the room.
To his surprise, he couldn’t find any loud speaker or any device, that could explain the strange Siri.
There was defiantly something in that whiskey
He absently sent his hand to his right pocket, and instantly realize that he is naked.
Terrified he looked down, and found that he didn't even have his boxers or socks.
when did I lose all my clothes?
"I do not know"
"SHUT UP"
Okey
He jumped back, startled.
Infront of him, floating midair, was the ward "okey" in black letters.
He burst out laughing.
At this point, he was starting to think that he lost his mind.
When he suddenly realized that she answered directly to his thoughts, he was terrified.
So, you can read my mind.
"I do not understand"
"right"
How can you read my mind?
“I’m inside your mind”
What?
“I’m inside your mind”
“Yeah yeah, i heard that.”
What am I going to do?
“You have four open quests; would you like to open the quest menu”?
“Wait, what the fuck”?
“I do not understand”
“of course”
Nathaniel closed his eyes in frustration.
“Why do I have quests? I’m not in a fricking video game. Am I?”
“I do not know”
“Then what do you know”?
“That you have four open quests, would you like to open the quest menu?”
“Fuck you Siri”
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that"
“Yeah yeah, open the fricking quests”

The quests were written in the air, flouting Infront of his eyes.
He glared at the flouting words.
“Thank you mister obvious”
He looked at the door, then at the quests.
“Hey Siri”
“yes”?
“Fuck you”
