Chapter one

"Welcome Pioneer!"

He knew not how he to be came here, nor where or why he is here.

All he knew he was transported and that this isn't his world where human are at the top of the food chain, for he must run for as fast as he could, He would jump, tumble, limp, and even crawl if he had too. He dared not to stop for he he knew he’ll become it's prey, even he knew not what’s behind him.

The air were slightly near freezing cold, his breaths are short, his mind is is almost at the state of hysteria. He can still smell the blood that splashed all over him. It was not his but from those who were trying to rob him dead. He still remembers what he saw the fraction of a moment when the creature leaped and dragged the two fools away and only a left hand remained. It was dark and even with moonlight, he still couldn't see the beast clearly.

All he barely saw when he stared at the abyss, was that creature was larger than the size of a regular man, and had long silver claws, glowing bloodshot eyes, fur that's dark as night and the creature was clad in a exquisite silver black armor.

He did not know what it was, but instant knew he must get away and he has been running ever since.

Deep in his mind he speculated.

"Definitely a werewolf right? Those things are a work of fiction but what's behind me is a freaking MONSTER"

He has been running inside a mysterious dark forest for over an hour, where only moonlight is his only solace. His instincts screams louder with every passing second. For he knew the night is dark and full of terrors.

“Run……”

“Run………..”

“There’s something chasing in the dark……”

“RUNNNnnnnn………”

“As fast possible………………….”

“Get away…. ……………………….. Get away…………….”

“or DIE”.

“My life's on the line and damn i’m getting tired.”

“This isn't a virtual game…..”

“It’s too ridiculously surreal to be one.”

“I shouldn't have accepted”

“Nor shouldn't have rode that cursed bus”

“Then i wouldn't have been on this mess in the 1st place.”

“Ascend to Paradise?”

“Bull crap!”

“Damn!”

“This is a freaking descent to HELL!!!”.

-------------

The last thing he remembered before he was in this mess was that he received a gift on his birthday from his cousin that went missing. Inside had a vague letter stating "This gift will help you find what you had lost."

As he read the words that was written He was reminded of the darker days.

He felt again the pain of what he lost.

His chest grew tighter, as it was filled with both sadness, sorrow and grief.

He contemplated, reminisced those days and said. "not Loss, TAKEN."

and then all those sad emotions was replaced by a hateful rage that burned inside him.

continuing on and moving forward.

He checked the contents of the gift.

And what was inside was a brand new smartphone.

the phone had a black casing and it was a little bigger and bulkier than the average size smart phones this days.

It had some features like touchscreen and several type of usb compatibilties. Etc... etc...

The phone wasn't the mainstreamed kind was not currently on market.

It was a mysterious phone majority of people had never seen and yet he instantly recognized it. Because this phone is known as the “Astral Phone” that been hyped about on the internet. They said this phone had everything you need and an exclusive game that has a 100% realism but not many info has revealed or showed, and strangely enough those who received it disappeared the next day.

Most people didn't believed a phone can make people vanish and neither did him.

Even the police and the media believed that all those who disappeared are all runaway cases

Not that he cared back then all he wanted was to try out his new phone.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

They said the game had a visual realism that’s too good to be true and he knew that such things are highly unlikely.

But the thought of it excited him even more.

He turned it on and selected the game app folder and read the game’s title “Dark Horizon”.

He thought “What a strange name for a game.” then started the game.

-New register detected

-State your name.

He wrote “Ken” then clicked enter.

-New user has been registered.

-Please continue answering the following questions and surveys before starting the game.

“Damn… this is quite bothersome.” he thought to himself.

“This game better be worth all the hassle.”

After registering and answering all the surveys the astral something unexpected was shown after.

-Would you like to read the instructions and warnings about the game?

-Yes or skip

Without even thinking too hard he pressed skip.

“Who reads them away. i’ll just make it up as i go.”

Then a gentle female voice spoke within the game console.

“Ascend to paradise”

“Now will you accept and travel beyond as one of the Pioneers?”

The voice felt slightly similar, yet different and reminded him of a certain Ai, from a certain type of phone, that's from phone company that's named after a fruit. That will respond to what ever you ask sometimes with attitude.

"Hehehe..."

“Yes or No?

He answered YES

“But before we proceed any further would you like to read the instructions and warnings the game has to offer?” the gentle voice was replace by a serious monotonous voice.

"Hmm..."

“I should probably read it?”

He paused for a moment to reconsider.

“Nah just skip it”

“Are you sure?”

"Sure."

"Congratulations… All conditions have been met.”

"Would you like to travel now?"

"Please select a world."

The game showed him 3 distinct world.

The 1st among the 3 was a planet with an extreme night and day cycle were the inhabitant live underground. During the day the land was literary on fire and at night everything was frozen.

The second was a planet with no large continent and it's islands frequently switches between submerging and resurfacing.

And the final was a planet in ruins that looks exactly like earth called "Mundo" this world is filled with ruins that's been engulfed by the jungle.

He contemplated on his selections and chose the third planet.

"Planet selected" the female voice spoke.

A large theme and mini colorful fireworks was shown on the 6.5” display screen.

The screen glowed.

He instantly felt dizzy.

A flash of blue light struck his face and losing his consciousness rapidly.

As he fell dizzily to the ground he saw an ominous looking welcoming words on his phone that read.

“Welcome pioneer to Mundo!!!”

His vision was filled with blaze haze, and then his mind faded away.

He did not realized that it was incomplete.

And what followed was a far darker and more sinister words which he never read and no mortal could ever comprehend.

words written and wrapped in mystery that roamed far too long in the infinite void.

"Enigma Awaits..."
