The Beginning

Letting out a contented sigh, Jacob put his tea cup back on the saucer. He looked out of the train and looked at the never ending green fields filled with crops of various colours. Thinking back on the trip with his classmates, Jacob smiled fondly as he recalled the many moments.

As the din around him continues while he reminisced, Jacob took a look around the cabin he was in. He was currently in one of the food cabin where meals can be purchased, there were a few strangers seated by the exits on both side of the cabin whilst the middle was populated by his classmates. 3 of them he knew well, as he took his cup and saucer to make a move to the trio in the seating diagonally across from him. A cold detached voice ringed in his mind or was it his ears

[Planet 76-40 also known as Earth is being initialised]

[Standby for initialisation]

[Insufficient energy for sustaining more life]

[Merging with other suitable planets]

[All subjects will be moved to tutorial space]

As those words echoed, Jacob suddenly found himself being squashed by an unknown force, it seemed to be acting on his body all at once it felt like his entire being was being vibrated. Jacob strained under the vibration to see the same happening to his 3 closest friends and others around him.

Jacob tried to move closer to his friends straining his legs against the vibrations, hoping that proximity would hopefully allow them to be brought into this 'tutorial' together.

The System seems to have other thoughts as when Jacob was making the last few steps, the vibrations culminated into a crescendo and his surroundings winked out of existence around him.

Short moments later as Jacob rapidly blinked his eyes to make sense of what happen, a different set of surroundings appeared around him. It looked to be an old degraded building made of stones with an open ceiling that extended upwards a few metres. Jacob took stock of his surrounding whilst trying to orient himself, still reeling from the after effects caused by what seems to be a teleportation.

Stolen story; please report.

There are patches of grass growing out from the uneven flooring which seems to be made out of worn downed stone. 6 others were scattered around the building none of them were his friends. Above him were three hot and blazing sun working their heat upon him as seconds pass.

Amidst his observations the cold detached voice sounded off again

[Tutorial: Part 1]

[Mission: Survive for a full week]

[Rewards: To be Determined]

After the announcement finished, a short and thin bespectacled man spoke out

“ We should introduce ourselves if we are gonna be here for 7 days, my name is Turner Williamson.”

A large muscle bound man with a towering height of 1.9 metre with a shiny bald head replied.

“ Screw this place, what gives. Some strange voice tells us what to do and we do it? I ain't doing anything it says. I’ll find a way out.”

“ Uh-huh can you move us through space with that weird vibration shit? Or fly out of here? Don’t think so, so just say your name and shut up. You big oaf.”

The person who retorted was a man of medium height with wavy brown hair, all packaged with a defined sculpted face that Jacob would die to have had. He continued

“ My name is Alexander Downey, I would say its a pleasure to meet you all but this is neither a pleasant place nor am I with. Shall we sa-.”

Before he finished that sentence a loud roar reverberated through the building, everyone present looked towards the direction of the roar. But it was just a flat uneven wall with the same degradation on the floor, so Jacob looked up further and saw a tiger head looming above the wall. Looking at the group with sharp and menacing blue eyes just glowering at them.
