A pain spread throughout my body my whole consciousness trembled. Dazzling rays of sunlight pierced through my murky eyes giving me a vivid vision of the surrounding around me. When I woke up, The same splitting headache struck my head making me flinch in pain.
The pain quickly subsided into a dizzy sensation. The area around me was strange, the walls around me were made of some materials foreign to me. Especially the bed where I slept. It felt comfortably smooth and soft, extremely relaxing.
A swish sound echoed before a breeze of cold wind struck my left cheek. I turned to the left and saw a strangely clothed woman. She brought a strange artifact with her which gave off a glow of its own. She tapped on to it several times before giving a smile towards me.
"Are you okay now? Young man?" The woman smiled and spoke with an amiable tone. The tone made me frown my eyebrows for reasons that even I didn't understand.
"Maupay ra akon..." I replied in a small voice, though I understood what she had said. When I replied, I wasn't able to speak the language that she spoke.
"Huh? What did you say?" The woman's eyebrows knitted before she bent and listened closely.
"Maupay ra akon..." The same words that I spoke earlier came out. I don't know what's going on, I don't remember anything! Why am I even here in the first place? Who Am I? Why did I wake up in that strange place...?
"Are you okay sir? You seem to be listless. Wait. Let me check you..." The woman took a small item and pointed it towards my right eye. My consciousness was indeed listless, I wasn't even able to react before the woman held my chin in place. A click sound echoed before a blast of light struck my right eye.
I subconsciously reacted and tried to close my right eye. But the woman's index and thumb finger prevented me from doing so.
"Hmm... I don't understand, you seem to be okay, but..." The woman knitted her eyebrows in confusion before she made an 'Ah!' sound.
"Do you speak english?" The woman spoke to me in a strange tone paired with her radiant smile. To me, that radiant smile that could even topple kingdoms were nothing to me. As if it was a natural occurrence.
"Unsa?" I spoke. English? What is that? What language is that? She is speaking English? Why can't I speak it too when I can understand her?!
"Your body language says that you seem to not be lying. I'll call Doctor Siegfred." The woman strode off towards the distance as a swish sound echoed. The door, in my astonishment automatically opened.
The occasional splitting headache struck me again, making me flinch in pain. After the pain subsided. I stood up. I noticed that a strange metal object was sticking in my forearm. I pulled it as a small drop of blood came out. In my surprise, the small wound visibly disappeared. It was as if it never existed.
Following the way the woman walked towards the door. It also emanated a swish sound before automatically opening. I saw my own reflection in a mirror and found out that I indeed was a young man, and a pretty handsome one!
My listless eyes turned towards a long hall. I walked like a man with no direction. The people around me directed their gazes towards me in a strange way. I didn't bother to look at them. After walking in this manner for about one minute. I found a room where people crammed themselves in.
My instincts told me to enter that room and I entered. At first I was alone, but people started to swarm around me. Making me somewhat uncomfortable.
A neatly dressed man with a scholarly air around him uttered when the peculiar room's door automatically closed. "What floor?" He voiced towards an old lady. "Ground Floor." The old lady uttered.
He then continued on to ask the people around me of which they responded with different floors. He turned his gaze towards me and asked. "What floor? Young man?"
"Er..." My instincts didn't respond at first, making me stutter.
"Ground Floor." I copied the words that the old lady uttered. The man smiled before nodding and pressed those strange buttons embedded on the wall.
A cling sound rang before I arrived on the ground floor. The old lady came out first and voiced her thanks. The man turned his gaze towards me, seeing that I didn't respond. He knitted his eyebrows. My instincts told me to get off the strange room of which I followed. I never doubt my instincts. This instincts made me survive countless life and death battles... Wait... Life and death battles? What am I saying?
On the ground floor I could see crowds of people swarming around the area, some of them were seated while some of them were dressed like the woman earlier. I could even hear voices in the air, they seemed to be calling people.
"Calling Doctor Ronaldo, Please come to the ICU." A feminine voice pierced through the air.
It was strange, I was able to understand the words that the woman said, though I wasn't able to pinpoint the origin of the voice. It seemed to have came nearby or farther than a thousand miles. I don't really know.
I followed the flow of people and found myself before an automatically opening door which looked like a huge mouth that swallowed people. I stood and stared at the door listless. I pretended to not give any care about the people around me but I was silently observing their movements. I observed a particular man who calmly walked towards the door. The huge mouth opened by itself and chomped him down.
I felt a small shiver running down my spine when I witnessed that. But after a few seconds. I noticed that the previous man wasn't injured. The huge mouth that looked like a door was actually harmless!
I proceeded to walk towards that huge mouth and pretend to walk calmly. Beaded sweat already formed on my forehead. The people around me looked at me with strange gazes. I didn't bother with them and continued to walk towards the outside world.
As the dazzling rays of the sun struck my eyes. The world around me was revealed. I wasn't able to believe the scenery that I saw. Tall sky piercing blocks that looked like rectangle blocks were around me. Astonished, I took control of my state of mind and took a huge breath.
I don't understand... I don't remember anything yet I am so greatly impacted by the sights in front of me. My mind went blank as I walked with no direction. I passed by countless people, people whose faces I didn't even bother to remember. I don't know how much time I spent while walking in this manner. I followed the flow of the people and walked without hindrances.
The dark curtain of the night crept out. The resplendent rays of the sun disappeared, replaced by the infinite darkness of the night. But the world around me was instead, colorful. Instead of the darkness of the night blocking all the lights under its might. The world around me seemed to have done the opposite.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
Strangely though, I didn't feel amazed than I did earlier. I just took it for granted and started to walk towards a dark alley.
"Young miss, Didn't we had a deal?! I don't want to be disrespectful, but a deal is a deal! Your debts are already past one million RMB!" An impatient voice rang out. The strength of the voice made it obvious that it came from a man.
"I know about that! It's just... Father is sick... and I need to buy... Medicine..." A feminine voice replied in a slow, trembling, stuttering voice.
"I don't care about your fucking excuses, you goddamned bitch! A deal is a deal! Either you pay off or else..." Another cold voice echoed, it didn't seem similar to the first man who spoke.
It was at that moment that I entered the alley and saw the current situation. In the alley, a young woman whose age was at least fifteen surrounded by three men. The second men who spoke greedily scoured the young woman's body with his lascivious gaze.
The other men wiped their palms in excitement. They also looked at the young woman with the same gaze as the second man. The young woman's complexion was as white as paper. Her whole body trembled and her pupils widened. Fear, was clearly instilled.
"Ple-please... No...!" The young woman's expression turned from fear to despair. The three men started to approach her. They wiped their drools and started to unbutton their pants. They didn't seem to care even though people can easily approach the area.
My distance to them was at least twenty meters. I glanced towards the despairing young woman and a thought came into my mind. 'Why should I care? I don't know her!' That immediate thought made me think of myself as an awful being. I don't know what I'm doing but I had a feeling that I always had that attitude. The attitude to look down on everything.
"Please! Save me! Ugh!" The young woman screamed. She started to thrash around and tried to escape. But unfortunately, the three men were much more stronger than her. She was immediately suppressed and was pressed down on the ground.
"Kevin! Hold her hands, I'll taste her cherry first!" The first man who spoke earlier glanced with glittering eyes and started to get naked. The second man who spoke earlier also threw his clothes so that only the trousers remained.
"Hahaha! You sure is greedy, George! Taking the first try! Hahaha! Don't let her lose consciousness! I like the voice coming from their mouth when they scream in despair! Hahahaha." The second man laughed like a madman. The young woman violently squirmed her body, but man called Kevin immediately held her tight.
The young woman uttered an Ugh... sound as her breasts' were pressed down. She clenched her teeth in pain.
"Don't struggle anymore or else you'll feel even more painful... Blame all of this to that damned old man of yours who can't even afford to pay his debts!" The first man who spoke earlier who was named George was already stark naked. The young woman looked at him in despair as his hands started to crept up towards her thigh.
Her undergarments started to become loose.
It was at that moment that the silently approaching me suddenly struck a transparent wall. The moment I struck that wall. A peng! Sound echoed.
"Who is that?!"
"Shit! Someone actually noticed our array!? Damn it!"
"Tssk! Useless piece of bullshit array! Kevin! Go investigate it!" George clicked his tongue in annoyance. He turned towards the young woman and ssshhhed. He covered the young woman's mouth with his left palm. The young woman thrashed even more violently than before, causing great annoyance to George.
"I said be silent, Bitch!" A slap sound echoed as George's right palm landed squarely on the young woman's right cheek. It was at that time that a miserable cry also rang.
"Hmmph! Bullying a young woman? How low have you become!" Earlier, when my instincts told me that I was already noticed by the three men. I hid in the shadows and crouched like a mantis stalking its prey. When that man called Kevin came. I immediately pounced and chopped my right palm towards Kevin's nape.
My instincts kicked in and an azure light flashed on my palm. A crack sound echoed as Kevin's nape broke in a weird angle. He immediately died on the spot. I looked at my palm in astonishment. I didn't understand what I am doing, I am not sure whether what I am doing was right or wrong.
My inner instincts just told me to act.
"Y-You!" George's body trembled. His eyes constricted when I noticed the person that I held on the neck with my right hand. I looked at the already dead Kevin and threw him at the side.
"You bastard!" The third man whose name wasn't revealed cursed at me and formed a fist with his hand throwing it towards me with full strength. The fast punch that the man threw was swiftly avoided by me with a small sidestep. What the heck? I avoided it? I uttered in thought.
Due to the force used by the third man. He lost his balance and started to sway on the ground. I replied to his punch with a right hand punch of my own. The punch landed squarely on the third man's jaws. The third man wasn't even able to utter a cry before falling on the ground with a thud. Be lost consciousness.
I only stared at my right hand with a listless expression, pondering why the azure light didn't appear this time.
"You bastard! Do you know who are we?! You dared to attack members of the Vermillion Gang! You'll die for sure, no matter who you are!" George pointed his index finger towards me and violently cursed.
"Damn you!" Noticing my indifferent expression. George curled his right hand to a fist and threw a punch towards my left cheek. I moved my right hand to block, hoping that the azure light would appear.
'Eh? I can't move my hand!' I screamed in alarm. I looked towards my right hand and noticed that it looked like a ripe eggplant. It was as if it was beaten black and blue by a wooden rod. An intense pain surged from my right hand towards my brain. Making me shiver and clench my teeth in pain.
I tried to move my feet to dodge, but it was already too late. George's punch started to become bigger and bigger in my first person vision. I closed my eyes, waiting for the impending punch.
"Ugh! Pwah!" I heard a vomiting sound before me and I felt a substance being splashed unto me. I opened my eyes in surprise, George had an umbrella pierced through his throat! Before I could register what happened to my mind. My vision started to become blurry and I started to show signs of losing consciousness.
But before I lost consciousness. I could see a very faint silhouette of an old man. The old man wore a small smile on his face that was as gentle as an undisturbed sea. That was the last picture that I saw before diving into dreamland...
