Darkness.
Thats all i could see.
(H-huh... Where, am i?)
It feels like im floating and heading towards a direction, like a boat in a river.
I look around myself, seeing only emptiness... And then i looked towards myself.
I was white and transparent, as if i was a ghost. Thus i thought to my self-
(Am i dead? Where is this? Whats going to happen to me? How is my family doing? Are they mourning for me?)
So much questions passed through my head, however once i tried to recall anything about my family-
(What? For some reason i cant remember any of them... Wait, what was my name again? Why cant i remember what i look like?)
I could not remember my name, my face, my family, my friends.
I tried hard thinking about them, however i could not recall anything about them.
Thankfully, i could recall some things. Like my education, what planet i was from,
my gender, a couple of other things. and... stars?
(Stars? Wait, why stars?)
As soon as i thought about them,
suddenly hundreds of bright lights suddenly shone,dotting the void with their radiant brilliance.
They were so bright that i had to close my eyes, but for some reason the
light kept flooding my eyes as if they werent closed in the first place.
(Oi oi oi! My retinas are going to burn at this point! W-wait, it doesnt hurt?)
Even though the stars were shining with such a bright light that a human eye would definitely melt if it saw opened its eyes to this, let
alone a retina.
(Hmm, weird. Why are my eyes not hurting...?"
However, suddenly the stars flickered, their light receding, glimmering, and then. Nothing.
Everything went back to the void it once was.
(Ah, there it goes. Weird, i didnt feel any warmth from them, considering how bright they were, i shouldve been melted to nothingness.
Were they even stars at all?)
i had no time to think of this however as suddenly, it felt like as if i was being sucked in a whirlpool, i was going down and down,
if down evenexisted here.
(Woah, alright... Where am i going now? Okay, being forced to move like this feels really weird. Is this how an insect feels when its
flushed down the toilet?)
As i went down the whirlpool that i couldnt even see, i was suddenly jolted by a assault of senses. It felt like i was going down in
a rollercoaster ride really fast, and then the ride suddenly stopped right there. My mind was assaulted by the series of barrages by
suddenly gaining my five senses back, my body felt as if i had been tazed, my heart was beating so slow i thought that i was
still dead again.
(Ughhh, hhhnnnggg... What the hell, was that? That felt so, weird... Actually, where am i? Where is this? Am i inside something?)
As my eyes were already open due to the shock of suddenly regaining my senses back, i took a look at where i was.
It seems like i was inside a capsule, filled with green slime. It felt very cool and comfortable, but i didnt know
what it was made out of. The weird slime-like substance was transparent enough that he could see what was beyond the
capsule. He saw some flickering lights, all in shapes that he recognized. A computer, a ceiling light, wall lights...
There was no one at all in this room, and also it was quite spacious. I feel like this room could fit half a football field.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
(Still though, where is this? I dont recognize where this is... Is this a hospital? Hmm, but those computers look real weird, and
for some reason the lights are a bit blue. And the floors, they look metallic and dark grey... Its as if im in a sci-fi movie.)
I have never seen anything like this outside of the movies i remembered. Everything here looked so lifeless and dark.
Only computers flickering, running some weird code, the walls glimmering a blue shine with no one at all.
However, my train of thought was stopped suddenly when a cold and lifeless voice resounded throughout my ears.
A voice of a robot.
"Occupant detected awake. Ryan Hadrens, 19. ARK-O347-457. Ejecting."
(Ryan Hadrens? Who is that guy? Never met him before i think...)
"W-woah!"
I let out a yelp of suprise as my body thuds with the cold, metallic dark grey ground. My body was laid bare
on the ground. I try to get up, but i couldnt. I could not muster a single strength to lift myself off the ground.
My eyes feel so dark, as if im half awake. I could not feel my muscles, it felt like i went through 10 marathons without stop.
My heart was still beating pretty slowly, and my body feels as if electricity is coursing through it. Weirdest of all is i dont feel any pain.
"Hah-, Hah-, Hah-, Hah-."
(Weird, why am i so out of breath. Damnit, i cant really move anything. Why can i only move my head?
Also, Ryan Hadrens? Is that me? No... I never remember having that name... I think anyways, but seriously.
Why cant i move?)
However, after waiting shorly my eyes felt like i was awake again, and i mustered just enough energy to stand up.
(Alright... Woah, it still pretty hard to stand...)
i used the capsule where i came out from to help myself stand upright. I then took a deep breath and took a long sigh.
After that i looked around the room where i was again. It seems like there are dozens of capsules here, they were lined
up in rows. i could see numbers from them, 410, 423, 436, 449, and then finally mine, -457. I then realized the
lights from the "computers" i saw were actually holographic screens, they were glimmering and it seems like something like a line of
code is running on their screen.
(Woah... is this really a sci-fi movie? Was i cryogenically frozen and then thawed back to life? Oh and also
it seems like the capsules are empty... So does that mean there are people here? Lets see...)
"Hello? Anyone there?"
I was greeted back by a different cold and lifeless voice.
"Greetings, Ryan Hadrens. Finally, am i so ecstatic to finally meet a living human at last!"
I turned my head around to the voice. I saw a weird sci-fi like drone, hovering on the ground,
its lifeless red eyes, gazing at my face.
(H-huh?)
I almost let out another yelp of suprise.
"My unit designation, is Arc-347. Good morning, my new Master!"
(What?)
