Huff

William grasps for air as if he was suffocating from a lack of oxygen. 

Little by little, he regained conciousness and began to feel his body. By now, he could subtlely feel his muscles and could easily move his hands and feet. 

After a while, he was able to feel the muscles in his face and opened his eyes little by little. 

A black space— it was all he could see even after opening his eyes.

He then subconciously tilted his head up to only see anlther space filled with black. 

'where am i?' William asked himself. Even after studying countless disease as a doctor, he has never once studied or even Heard of a disease like this. 

Thoughts of kept appearing inside William's head. As he tries to remember a disease or even a documentart about a "black void".

Strangely, when William tilted his head down, he could see his body. From shoulders to legs, he could see them all. 

He could see himself moving his legs and feet from his point of view. 

This brought doubt in William's idea of this as a disease. Because he had never studied or even Heard about a condition that puts a patient in a void like space. 

'so... This is not a dream?' he ask himself. 

Crack.

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

Instinctively, his head slightly tilted up, following the sound of the crack that he suddenly Heard. 

A crack followed by Crimson colored light— it was what he immediately Saw. The sudden crack from the endless black void gave an hint of what this place might be. 

William immediately thought the most logical answer is a [closed space], since a crack is possible through an object. 

Though after observing teh Crimson colored light, William asked himself:

'what is that?'

The cracks from the void began to grow bigger and bigger as Crimson light covered every corner of the cracks. 

As it grew bigger, instead of Crimson light, a Pile of rose began to grow out from the cracks. Followed by Crimson strings that spun in spiral, becoming sharper and sharper until it was finally reachable for William. 

Doubts began to show and about in a scrambled order through William's mind:

'should i grab it? Will it kill me? What would happen if i touch it?'

He knew that if he reached out to the Crimson strings, he might be able to get out of this void, but it could also kill him. Alas, all he could do is to hope for his luck. 

At that moment, he decided to risk it all, his hands finally touched the surface of the Crimson strings. 

"!!"

Around him, was no longer an empty void, but a street with street lamps that illuminated it's light around the streets and were surrounded by tall buildings with London like architecture covered in thick fog that Made it hard to even see the rooftops. 

His eyes scanned all around the streets as he tries to think of a logical explanation for what had happenned. 

"W-where am i?" He asked himself. Though from his past experience as a college student, he learnt that panicking would just be a burden to finding out something.

And so, he slowly took a deep breath and began to think. 

He then noticed the wearing, a suit that he never wore before. A suit like that of a man in the 1800s and a hat. 

Clothes simillar of that from the Era of Victorian.

He checked his left pocket to find what looked to be a room key. Perhaps for an apartment? 

In his right pocket, he found a wallet. An old dark brown colored wallet that most senoirs would have.

Opening the wallet, he found an ID card of what he thought to be teh owner of this wallet. 

Surprisingly, a pictureof his face appeared on the ID card. Though the card itself seemed a bit old and rusted, he could still see it clearly.

William immediately began to observe at the name that was written within the identification card. 

"Claude Muller..." He read out. 

'...what a weird name' he thought.

Knowing that he had a different name while having the same face allowed him to deduce a hypothesis:

He was transmigrated to another world— He had read lots of novels about this, though he would never thought that he would experience it himself

Though even though the name might not suit to his taste, everything else was according to his ID card before he was transmigrated. 

His eyes then followed then observed the red Crimson light that was reflected by the plain windows. William noticed a simillar with the Crimson light from the black void. 

Looking at the shine from the Crimson light, his eyes subconciously followed the shining red silhouette.

He tilted his head, following the silhouette that seemed to reach through the sky. 

At that moment, the thick fog that covered the night sky shifted, showing a moon with the Crimson red color that shone it's light all through the dark night sky with it's blood colored light. 

William, in Awe and disbelief. his eyes, wide open and soon revealed a faint laugh ss if he was laughing by himself. 

"Have i really... Been transmigrated?"
