As I wake up, I see a large shrouded figure above my head. As my eyes adjust, more and more features of the figure gets visible. A headache enshrouds my brain as I wonder where in the hell I am.
"Hey, you. You're finally awake." The man says in a deep voice that sounds like sandpaper grinding against stone.
I sit up startled and inquisitively say: "Who are you? Why am I...... in a bag?"
"This isnt a bag. Its a healing device. I am Ted." Ted says
"Finally, another human. I was starting to get lonely out here." Ted says sadly
"How long were you out here Ted?" I ask
"Around 10-15 years. I lost track of time ever since the empire fell." Ted says
"The empire?" I ask
"The empire was meant to keep these robots at bay. One day, the robots overwhelmed them and destroyed the entire empire. Only small groups of people are still alive." Ted says sadly.
"Why dont we start our own empire and rule this world?" I ask
"Well, I dont really want to rule the world. But, I guess if it helps humanity survive i have to go with you." Ted says reluctantly.
"And can you let me out of this 'healing device'?" I ask
"Yeah, Sorry. I kinda forgot that you were stuck in that." Ted says apologetically
Ted reaches over to the side of the "healing device" and presses a button. The "healing device" Beeps a few times then splits open, causing me to fall onto my face.
Damage detected: -1 HP.
I attempt to stand up. My legs feel like jello and my entire body feels extremely weak.
"Huh? Whats this?" I ask curiously.
"What is what? I dont see anything." Ted says confused.
"It's like a floating blue box." I add
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"You might have met some higher being." Ted says Nonchalantly
"Why don't you sound surprised by that?" I ask curiously
"When you've been out here for a few years, Nothing is surprising." Ted adds.
'Hm. It must be like one of those video games I used to play. Just like the "god" said!'
'Hmm. So, Status?'

"What the fuck? The fuck does Human? mean?" I ask
"I dont know." Ted says
*Click*
A loud clicking sound can be heard as me and ted are talking.
A zebra sized robotic ant with red eyes comes from around the corner and starts looking around.
When it's eyes meet with mine, It's eyes turn blue and it walks over to me and lays down.
"What is this thing?" I ask ted
"What? How did you.... How did.. what? I thought drones were supposed to be loyal to the insectoid faction!" ted exclaims.
"Heh. Though you said nothing surprises you ted!" I said.
One of the drone's blue eyes turn green and begin to project a video.
A small picture of the entity appears and he says: "Hello jacob. Since you are seeing this, i'm guessing you made it there safely. Sorry for the scare. This is a recording, so dont try to talk to me otherwise you will look insane. Your unique skill is the ability to rewire enemy drones and robots to turn them to your side. This drone has the capabilities of bringing any robot back online with the right parts. Until next time."
