INTO THE NEW WORLD-CHAPTER 5
----------------------------------------
Kristen was sitting on a chair inside an odd building. What Kristen was doing, he didn't even know himself. Silence only to be heard. “Where did it go wrong?” Kristen was wondering. Kristen drank the water bottle he had in his hand and got up. “I miss Jameed, I miss anyone with who I can share my thoughts too.” Kristen was slightly lamenting. “My siblings would be disappointed in me.” Kristen thought. “Screw it, I need to get to Jameed soon. Hopefully he is okay. I don’t want him gone from me. Not ever.” Kristen got his bag and went to prepare for the next stop.

July 8th, 2043
A kid was walking down the busy streets of the city of Nework. An older figure held his hand navigating through the crowd and arriving somewhere. The kid kept asking questions. “When are we getting there? What’s the surprise? Please tell me, I want to know.”
The older figure chuckled. “Don’t worry we are almost there.”
The kid grumbled. “I’m sleepy, I want to go home now.”
“Huh? Oh come on, you are always sleepy, wake yourself a bit.”
They arrived at the place. “Whoa, big bro that is a big building!”
The brother chuckled. “Yeah, I scored an internship over there. Pretty nice eh? That means I’m working there now with the highest authority of the social status.”
The kid looked up at the building. it was large. very large. He looked around the building and saw many other big buildings too. There was one thing in common he noticed though. They all seemed to be owned by the same place. “HarvestSeven, that is a cool name.” The kid thought. “Hey big bro, You are very smart. I want to be like you.” The kid smiled widely at his brother. His brother chuckled and smiled back. “Yeah I guess so, I want to catch up to our older brother after all. Can’t be left behind you know?”
The kid looked up to his brother a lot. the reason is generally because he never met his oldest brother or his sister. He was the youngest of his 3 siblings. He lives in a pretty wealthy family with aspirations. The kid only had his brother who was with him for a figure. He loved his brother and wanted to be like him.
His brother let go of his hand and went in front of him. He kneeled and held his head. “Hey Kristen, I want you to be with me. work hard, and join me at the top. At all costs.” His brother smiled at him. “I believe you in Kristen. Don’t fail me.”
Kristen looked at him taken aback by the offer. He didn’t want to disappoint his brother. “Ok!” He replied joyfully.
His brother Nezo, Stood up and took a look at the building. “Syla your sister, will be joining me next year. We both will be waiting for you ok?”
Kristen perked up at the namedrop of his sister. He has always asked about his sister and has yet to get a proper answer. “Can you tell me about Syla?” He asked.
Nezo looked at him with a small smile. “Maybe another time. Let’s get back home, you said you were sleepy right?”
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Kristen grumbled at the answer he got. He was about to ask a follow-up question before he yawned. “Yeah, I’m tired. I wanna go home.”
Nezo and Kristen went back home after the meaningful trip.
----------------------------------------
Kristen woke up from his bed. He was at the new stop where he arrived yesterday. “That dream again. Nezo, I’m sorry. Again.” Kristen thought gloomily. Kristen got up and woke himself up.
Kristen walked out of the house he was in. he breathed the air and looked around. “Well I better get going I suppose. I have 3 days left.” Kristen prepared himself and left the house, on his way to the Warehouse of Garle.
----------------------------------------
The Warehouse of Garle. A magnificent spot for meet-ups and events. This year 2055, It is the location for the Annual AirOut competition which is one of the largest gadget competitions out there. Many competitors come and participate in hopes of winning the prize. A free express pass or passes for The Dome depending on your group. Many competitors join together in teams of 10 for the best chance to win AirOut. It isn’t only famous for its prize, it is famous because it is held by dwellers who came from the New World, and everyone wants to get a sight of them. Rumors go around, people say they can grant wishes, and others say they can grant superpowers. It's all excitement that comes from AirOut. It is also one of the biggest sporting events that attract many viewers, especially from the New World.
This year's challenge from AirOut is a treasure hunt. The event topic was given out months ago although the event details have not been released yet. Many know that AirOut can get violent and prepare themselves. Some cheat, Some bribe. One thing to know is, that AirOut is not easygoing.
----------------------------------------
“Hey, Captain! when are we arriving?”
Ashlyn and her group were driving for a long time. They were picked up in a car with a driver sent by Lynx’s group.
“Calm down Ashlyn, we should arrive there within another hour. That aside, are you guys ready for your first AirOut?” Big J questioned.
the 3 others looked at him with many different feelings. Ashlyn was excited, and Braylee seemed curious and a little cautious. Geo straight up looked unbothered. “Hey Big J, you competed in AirOut with Lynx’s group before haven’t you?” Asked Braylee.
“Yeah, I have.” Big J didn’t seem to go into any details.
“can you tell us more about it? like your experience, not the actual event layout,” asked Braylee.
“No.” Big J disclosed the subject with an abrupt no.
Geo looked a little interested now at Big J. “hey, you ain’t going to tell us anything? You lost, didn’t you? Probably quite horribly too.” teased Geo.
“Shut up Geo.” Ashlyn looked at him with a piercing look.
“Ashlyn, it’s ok.” Big J looked at Geo and saw him smiling teasingly. “He’s playing with me again. I already know his game.”
Geo was disappointed. he didn’t fall for the bait. He became disinterested and went to look back out the window.
They drove off towards the Warehouse of Garle
----------------------------------------
The curtain has closed down. A new event is about to take place.
AirOut, the next stop.
