As far as Rei's eyes could see there was only a bland white ceiling, one that he had grown accustomed to, to the point that upon seeing it he no longer felt disappointed.
'Ever had a dream where you were out of a place you disliked, until you were abruptly woken up? Well that dream of mine will soon become real, isn't that right?' A soft smile spread upon his lips as he indulged in his fantasies, glancing at his shadow as he rubbed his eyes.
To be fair, it made little to no sense to him how an otherworldly entity could possess his shadow and interact with him through it, maybe he truly was insane. But who cared? Well, at least he did not.
"Morning Forte." Muttered Rei, his face that would usually be sour upon waking up was surprisingly not, thanks to the excitement boiling deep within him
Today was supposed to be a special day or so Forte had foretold. Although Rei wasn’t quite sure of the specifics, it still filled him with such anticipation, much like a kid awaiting the time to rush into the living room to tear open his Christmas presents. His blood was very much boiling
Stretching his limbs he then got into a sitting position and waited:
One minute soon becoming five
And Five soon then became 10.
His impatience slowly started its way into over taking his excitement, too much was too much as Rei's stomach let out a growl. 'Stay focused Rei! You mustn't,, ' he thought as he balled up his fists.
Currently one branching goal: Wait until either the event took place or the menu had changed.
Forte had never been the social type and would usually only talk when it felt like it , and so he decided to distract himself by half mindedly watching the tv
sometime later a buzzer could be heard echoing from outside of his cell. It was about time for his day to officially 'begin', the mechanism behind the wall gave a grumble as the air of freedom swarmed in. From a small compartment behind him the weight to his shackles had been spat out
A pitch black orb of dread.
'-40 movement speed to whoever this item is bound to' he muttered with a tone of sarcasm as he trudged forward, hindered by the ball which he could only describe as heavy, for a lack of better word. It slowed his walking speed down to a crawl as moments later the door before him opened
'In that very instant as if bestowed by the heavens he felt an immense power coursing through him,one which he'd use to break his way out of this area-'
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Or at least that's how he had wished for the day to play out,sadly it seemed as if fate had other plans In mind for him. As meal time had come round, Rei found himself forced to move to the cafeteria as he pouted
From meat that could only be described as Chernobyl discharge, to half cooked and perplexing globs of something, somehow bean paste managed to stand on top as the cafe’s star dish, with it's inconsistent texture and flavor
"The real surprised here though is that no one has yet to die of indigestion " He chided as he followed the dedicated path towards the cafeteria. The sound of heavy objects dragging along the cement floor was heard all around making the overall mood feel even more gloomy
With a few guards here and there for quick dispatches , we were mainly monitored through cameras as we moved in a loose batch; in this instant all thoughts of "prophecies" and the grand collapse of society were all thrown into the back of Rei's head
In order to keep himself somewhat entertained he counted numbers as he sat at a random table, observing the interactions between some of the more civil and outgoing inmates as they got their meals. The mere scent was enough to cut away his appetite .
by the time he had counted 12000 imaginary sheep, nearly 7 minutes had passed but Rei felt like he could keep going
Akin to a hammer beating hot iron, the time spent alone had a tempering effect on his mind. Although he had improved himself in some aspects he could only lament that he still had many shortcomings, but with no one to really complain to he could only remain seated as the others ate. At least he wasn't the only one in the loners category.
As his thoughts had begun trailing off he suddenly felt his whole body being assaulted by a shock, his heart was sent thumping madly as his brain throbbed. Quickly rearranging his train of thoughts he didn’t even realize the lights had cut off until he caught them turning back on. A good majority of people swarmed around in disarray, soon a wall of noise rose as some guards mobilized, trying to keep the inmates at bay.
Following the mob Rei quickly left his sit and joined in on the wave of inmates. They crowded around shouting questions at the guards as they tried to force their way out, he couldn't help but snicker. Even though he was concerned- seeing the guards have a problem on their hands was quite entertaining. One brave inmate had even went ahead and tried to break through, only to end up electrocuted. Realizing this chaotic scene couldn’t go on for much longer, one of the guards strode forth. Clearing his throat as he stood there the man then shouted "Gather up cunts! time to go back to your lovely little rooms." As he slammed his baton against the door creating an intimidating aura.
Rei could only "helplessly" follow as instructed as the flower of curiosity bloomed within his mind: ‘What was that? how did it happen? would Forte have a response to all his questions and much more?’
His thoughts periodically broken by the shoving of inmates being ushered out of the few exits opened by guards. Slowly but surely he reached his hallway, finally without disruptions his mind wandered, filling each second with questions to ask Forte once he reached his cell.

As the thousand years were coming close, the seal placed on earth's solar system weakened significantly as the laws of heaven and earth rearranged themselves. Hell had patiently waited for this time to come, readying itself to break loose, and on this very day, just as anticipated by our dear shadowy friend, the first seal was broken and a great catastrophe was on its way towards earth.
