Uh. hello this is my first writing attempt. Please dont be to hard on me. On this chapter i'll like to tell the main character character, lol. And his back ground so you can adapt to his world easily
and...., any building critism is accepted.
The prologue
My name is Iivary. The date is 6877.
I was a normal student. i said "was" because i used to be one like them.
Go to school, study, absent occasionally just to hang out with my friend, try to smoke, learn some musical instrument to look cool in front of the female, and another teenager stuff normally.
I grew up with a smarter and far older brother. Well, smarter in most aspect, but not all. The ultimate problem is the age gap. He's 14 years older than me, and that means a different world.
No play together, no study together, no grounded together, all my brother do ever ask is hows your school?, no problem with friend? and other trivial thing. Even if i knew that question is out of sincere i just feels that something is missing.
For my parent they both had work till evening.
And they try to make up the time we lost by buying me almost all i ask for, which that i never bother to care. In the end, that make me more used to solitary.
And just make things more complicated is my parent standart. They put education as priority. That's for my future sake i know. But sometimes when i look at my friend parents, and how carefree my friend talk with them. That makes me feels more sad and envy.
Once i try to confessed that i absent school a day. But what i get is a harse scold and thats it, no ask for a reason and no other thing than scold. I tried this few more times but they just get angrier so i stop caring.
Honestly i just want their opinion, i want to share, i want much more than just a scold.
I want a home, somewhere thats safe and accept you for being you.
And in my quest for searching my ideals home i learn that human tend to flock, and feels comfort within those that hold the same ideals.
So, with this knowledge i made a lot of friends. I'm not picky with fiends. if they fun then they are my friend. all i need to do is to pretend that i was one of them. I know what i'm doin. And i'm okay with it. then they'll feel comfort with me.
my friend range is huge. From a thug to a policeman, from a janitor to a executive i had one or few friends among them.
The trouble is, Sometimes they had an absurd request, but i just go along with it and absorb what i can learn from that.
Some request which something like, my thug friend ask me to join their teritorial fight even though i cant fight.
or my filthy rich friend ask me to play guitar while he sing for his girlfriend while he knew that the girl he likes like guitar player more.
For more than half of my school years i spent with a mask on. Not literally of course.
i can be a good student in front of my parent and teacher, and be another depending on situation and who i face.
and one day i met her, my ideal kind of woman. i thought that i'd of course i was spend most of my time try to get close to her, the more i chase her the more more i get addicted to her. And after six month. i end up successfully have her as my girlfriend.
And two weeks later i know the bitter feels of betrayed.
one of my friend lay as on her too, and she too feels more comfortable with him. "the feeling is mutual." she said.
And start from that time i grew my hatred for anyone. I'm tired and sick with this facade. whats the point of trusting, in the end they'll just betray you. Why should i care with anyone anymore.

I finish my highschool live with hatred. And fortunately i direct my hatred on studying.
After graduation i then roll in to famous technology colage by pure luck with general engginering as my primary class. after two years of socialisation with nut-daredevil-mostly-man-scientist-with-a-lot-sense-of-humor in start to open again. I join practical engginering development division.
Do dangerous research with minimum budget and almost none safety tools just to satisfy curiousity which mostly comes after movie.
Well, i'm sure you too like to know how is flying inside nano suit with few armed rocket installed, or how is it to feels wielding light saber.
After two years i finished my research about activating human internal psyionic power. just to get betrayed and get my research stolen by my friend. again. well, i still get my own body succesfully enhanced though.
At that point i stop believing in trust. i saw everyone with hostile. i then spent my days at my dorm room. shut in. just playing game or sometimes do research on things that pique my interest, which lead me to create silva. an usefull silver box which contain advance AI which i install at my arm. now i can always hears sexy female voice on my head. Muahahaha.
One day while i play some VR games with silva a blackout happens.
well. blackout is a common sense here. We never have enough energy to satisfied those mad scientist here.
Usually the blackout is happen for an hour, so i might as well play my guitar.
I took it and start play it.
Then when i try to light my cigar i see that something is wrong. my dorm wall is changing to a cave wall. what the...
me
"hmm, silva do you know where is this?, the last thing i remember is i was about to met the final boss and bring peace to the kingdom once and for all. Muahahahaha,"
sylva
"i'm sorry, but i get no response from the sattelite when i tried to update the gps. but the scans indicate that mineral contained within this cave is age 2,15 billion years. that's much more younger than earth. so i assume that were not on earth, and no digital signal is detected, so i can say that this is not VR. anything more you need Iilvary?"
me
"uh, light please"
as soon as i said that bracer at my hand start to glow. Once the light is up i can see that the cave walls is decorated with intricated pattern. mostly about man fighting with man, dragon with dragon. and in the middle of it is a creature, half with an angel shape and another half demon shape i assume, then i start to walk following the cave
me
"sylva, record the relief and add that to your database, just in case and do proper body check on me, and the surrounding" i talk while i continue to stroll
sylva
"your body is intact, all is placed properly and function normally. the air scan indicate that the air contain 40.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and the rest is lot of unidentified gasses but none is lethal for human. my sonar scans also indicated that there is an opening 50m ahead."
me
okay thanks. well, thats remind me, that i still dont know where am i, what happen before, and most importantly, how to get back so i can finish my game. damn, dont you know that curiousity is killing." i said as i continue to stroll ahead.
