chapter 1- the unfortunate
________________________________________________________________________
It is 10 pm at night on July 1st, 2024, Silver takes a deep breath and sighs as he walks up to his new bed which is actually the new TechnoArc capsule which lets you enter VR while sleeping however the chairman did say:
"if you think you don't need sleep just because it is a sleeping capsule then you are wrong because you still have to sleep either in real life or in VR."
Silver knew that the time ratio of the capsule is 1:4 (read last sentence of prologue) and this is exactly why he decided to buy the capsule in the first place. He wanted to change, not because he is shy and unsocial which he is but it is because of the accident that happened right after his high school graduation from grade 12.
(This is where Silver begins his story of what happened after his graduation. The words will be in past tense as he is telling about the past)
Silver was born happy and energetic like many boys at his age but that is what got him sick with a cold in the first place after playing in the snow. At that time he was still in China where the doctors and government doesn't really do much about used needles. When he had the cold his mother brought him to the doctor to get a shot but what she didn't know was that the needle had already been used before.
After a few months they arrived in Canada which made them happy because they could be with their father and husband. Silver was half Chinese and the other half is half Japanese and half Canadian (the father).
Silver really hated taking needles into his body such as the flu shot or blood test which took him until he was 16 to actually man up and take a blood test. That was when the news hit him and his family, he had some sort of illness that only less than 5% of the population in Canada have which can only be transferred by blood contact. It was predicted by his mother that it must have been from the injection 15 years ago back in China because the illness is present in many people in China. (the 5% thing is made up but it is true that China re-uses the needles. fact from many doctors verbally)
The doctor told him that the illness isn't matured yet so he can still live his life normally like other normal young adults. That is until his blood test on his 18th birthday:
"This is really bad" said the doctor
"How bad is it?" asked my mother
"The illness has advanced to the next stage faster than anticipated" he answered
"I am asking what does that mean?" demanded my father
"The cure for this illness is new and very expensive but the success rate is close to 100% but since there are no perfect cures in this world I would have to say maybe 98%" said the doctor
"how much?" asked mother
"close to maybe 130 thousand dollars for that single pill" answered the doctor
I almost fainted after I heard the amount. Let me tell you all that I am a very cheap person which means that if I can get a textbook online free of charge I would use it instead of buying the normal textbook even if there are a few missing pages in the online version.
'god this is going to make us soooooo poor' I thought
My mom then answered with determination and conviction.
"We will buy it if it can cure our only son"
my father also said yes
I almost felt like crying if I wasn't worried about how we would live after using up all of our money on one pill.
The doctor told my parents that the pill would have has a unique side effect which would alter the 23ed chromosome pair (the xy chromosome what determines your gender xx= female xy=male). My parents were devastated to know that the cure might give their son a worst illness but the doctor told them that after testing on thousands of people in the last 10 years no genetic defects were found. Instead he told them that even people with genetic defects were also cured and that people were calling the pill "The all cure".
My parents were happy from what the doctor said because like everyone they believed that doctors are always right (cough).
(back to present time)
"then how did this happen to me?" I thought "aggggg well bright side is I am still alive and kicking right?"
Well back to the past story:
My parents bought the pill and waited till the doctor receives the pill from the company. It was on June 15th when the pill arrived at the doctors office and called my mother to pick up the pill. The doctor told her to have me take it at night just before bed and to see him in the morning.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
I decided to go to bed at 9pm because the fast I take the pill the faster I would be cured. I took the pill and went straight to bed hoping that the pill would not turn me into a monster.
On that night I suffered a lot, I was having nightmares about god knows what. Whenever I tried to wake up from the dream state something pops up beside me preventing me from escaping so I ran. I ran for who knows how long because somehow I did not feel tired one bit, I felt free and might have enjoyed it if it was not for the fact that something was chasing me.
It was morning when I finally woke up from my crazy experience. I looked at the clock which just hit 9am meaning I had slept for 12 hours straight and was having the nightmare 12 hours straight. I was sweating all over and thought that if my mother came up and looked at the bed covers she might think I made an accident at the age of over 18.
I sighed and picked myself up to go to the bathroom, but as I was walking to it my pants keep sliding off and after pulling it back up 3 times I gave up and just held it above my waist. I noticed some changes in my body while I held my pants up, first I seem taller because my head brushed the charm (the charm that has something inside a bag closed by string seen in some anime to bring good luck or something) that was swinging from the top of the door. Second my hair grew to my neck, third my chest felt heavier than normal, and forth my body slimmed down quiet a bit. I didn't mind since I just thought it was normal because of the pill.
I only realized what had happened to my body after eating the pill when I got to the toilet.
"!@#$%^&*!" I said loudly (not a scream but just a little loud to not wake up the neighbors)
After I had calmed down from my 5 sec shock:
"What happened to me?" I cried
"Is this because of the pill? how am I going to explain this to my parents? Is this reality and not a dream? maybe I went crazy after having that 12 hour nightmare. No this is still pretty much a nightmare since it is kind of scary" I whispered out loud
downstairs my parents heard my first words which was a bunch of gibberish and came upstairs to see what had happened. They saw me and was shocked at my appearance for a much longer time compared to me. My first word to them was:
"um... so what do you think?"
My father took a deep breath to calm down and said you look pretty.
Mother however went straight to the phone and called the doctor for immediate check up.
'I look pretty?' I thought. Silver was never a person who knows how to judge another person face because his brain just can't figure out who is pretty but it can figure out who is ugly. He just puts everyone that is not judged ugly by his standards normal. This is why he doesn't know if his father was saying he was pretty because he was his father or he was saying the truth.
We went straight to the doctor's office without waiting where the doctor was waiting for our arrival with his colleagues beside him. At that time I was wearing a hoody with blue jeans. When I took off my hoody the doctors in the room gasped because they saw my picture before hand. They had looked at my profile and picture, they knew I was 5'6 (170cm tall), brown eyes with black hair with a boring look on his face and a BOY. However, what they saw was a GIRL at the height of about 5'8 (175cm tall) with bright silvery eyes and semi-long deep black hair up to the neck with a streak of silver coming from the right side.
The doctors told my parents that they need to run a few test on me because they don't even know what happened. They even called the pharmacologists who made and tested the pill. After a few days of testing they said that my genes are very normal except for the fact that somehow the pill mutated the y chromosome to copy the x chromosome. The y chromosome then created genes similar to the x chromosome and not the exact same thing so I had nothing to worry about getting some kind of genetic disease.
They finished all their test on June 30th telling my parents they have nothing to worry about and that they will fund back half the amount of money they spent on the pill as compensation (this will never happen in real life). They even told them that they can change my information with the help of the government.
My name changed from Silver to Silvia (Sil-vee-a)
gender from male to female
etc...
I thought to myself 'I have 1 year to change they way I act before starting school again... I need a way to change myself and 1 year is not enough to change from being a male to a female but...'
I then remembered about the announcement on Jan 1st by chairman Sync about time in the capsule being 4x faster that normal meaning 1 year would turn into 4 years.
'that’s it I will now start to change myself, my old road has crumbled in an instinct, now it is time for me to start anew'
Present time:
That was my story.
I walked into the capsule and my last words as I put on the headset gear on was:
"I will now start walking a New Road"
