Chapter 1 - Prologue

"I wanna go."

The sound of someone's stepping in a white void. It was a soothing feeling.

"I don't wanna go either."

As the scene shows a tears being drop on a old book, with a small young hand was shown to be writing in cursive

the sound of a kid tearing as he wrote while reading,

"There was a glory in the past, a glory that would save everyone in every kind of case.

He was known to be the most caring person ever, where he would help everyone into having freedom and giving them knowledge depending in their words.

Everyone would cherish and bow to him whenever he passes down to the village.

And because of his image, he was called a God. The "God of Wisdom and Freedom" to everyone.

But suddenly one day, the glory had vanished through the wind.

Through the destiny without the glory, the world had been miserable yet grateful for fighting the disasters for them all.

And now the glory have died in another one's arms, everyone were in full of hatred and betrayal for what the glory had "gifted", there they uncovers the brutal truth behind all kindness.

It is said that, they were threatening the statues of the glory and tried to destroy it, even burning the small temples of them.

They have done everything to fight such upcoming disasters and advantages of the glory before. But now, the more the time goes on, the more creative humans can get to make new inventions.

Nowadays, everyone would talk peacefully and support each other when in a dangerous situation.

They have invented so many technologies and brands, they could actually go on their day without any problems unless there are disasters.

The current temperature is great and average as usual. The air condition is freshly cold and comfortable to feel.

And water from the ocean is being placed in a factory where it could stay clean before sending it back to the pacific.

It is no wonder if they can have a merry smile on their face. Everyone would love to live in a world like this, don't they?

[Current Time: 6:19A.M.]

—It is raining, people are walking on the streets while bringing an umbrella with them to avoid getting wet.

In the view, some people are walking towards some restaurants, bakeries and stores.

Some people are walking back home. In such a place, there was a certain person…

(time alarm sound)

"Err..."

My wrist was laying on my forehead as my eyes slowly flattered open, I was on my bed.

I felt a sense of the blanket was folded on my pillow.

"Did I forgot about the blanket again...?"

My mouth muttered words, I turned to off the alarm before sitting up on the bed, stretching my arms up, my hand onto my elbow.

My eyes were forcefully closed with my eyebrows narrowed as I stretched.

;remembering the first time I had tried to move here was a long story. It is difficult.

"Hey kid, where are your parents?"

"My parents wanted to take me in an experiment to be confident enough to speak with strangers."

"Oh is that so?"

"Quite strange for a parent to make their child in an experiment for a ridiculous reason."

"..."

I stayed quiet, staring down to my hand while fidgeting my fingers nervously. My expression then, too, saddened with his words.

Then he asked,

"Well, what do you want?"

My eyes instantly lit up, softened of his question and answered,

"I want... To get an apartment...?"

I can say my English is bad aft3r so long but the guy didn't laugh at all.

He shook of the thought and immediately gave me a key of one of the apartments with an amusement smile on his face.

"Here, take this, kiddo."

My small hands then gently held on the key with excitement.

I held it tight, so it wouldn't escaped from me.

And now, I have been living here for 8 years.

I opened the closet after taking a brief of time bathing, my towel was wrapped around to my upper chest. Wearing the same black sweater I had the first I got to this nation.

It was almost winter, and it would be freezing. Perhaps I could buy some winter clothes?

I walked out of my wooden house, to the streets where crowd is. The rain flow beautifully to the ground, breaking every silence with its tickling water.

Awhile later after getting the items I want, I went to the counter and spoked,

"Excuse me, I'd like to buy these."

A voice that spoke with manners as I stood in front of a counter in a store, placing the winter clothes and a black backpack on the counter.

As of the backpack, perhaps, it could be used to put items in.

"Ah—yes, wait a second.."

The cashier responded back. She quickly dragged the items to scan it and then replied again with,

"It will be 24 bucks"

I then handed some bucks to her after hearing her words. She stared at my coins, counting them accurately before putting them in a plastic.

She then handed it to me with a small smile on her face as she handed,

"Thank you for coming."

She said,

I nodded to her words before I went out of the store, carrying the bag on my hand. With the scenery starting to feel uneasy as the rain continued to flow down from the sky.

It was unsettling to just stand there and watch the rain continue. I wanted to move right now but somehow couldn't.

It felt as if something was grabbing me tightly from the legs, so he stood there.

Watching the people around me starts to feel the same thing as how I feels.

[ Scenario 1# - Death ]

Note; Do not move for 1 minute

Reward:500 coins

Difficulty: Easy

A blue panel had suddenly appeared In front of everyone before it disappeared with another blue panel floating on the sky with a 1 minute timedown.

"What is this?"

"Is this some kind of a joke?"

"Is this a disaster?!"

Through the gossips, everyone was scared to move and the crowd stayed silent, they didn't dare to move a single inch of their feet.

"A scenario..."

I wondered, staring at the people around me.

Until, I had heard someone got shot from the head and everyone started screaming, trying to get away from the area except for some people.

There were… 30 seconds left, most of the cast in the crowd were dead.

The pregnant woman silently stared at me with tears slowly swallowing in her eyes.

Her eyes were full of desperation to live with her baby. While the female child was staying still while looking down on the ground, she was about to tear up just like the others too but she held on.

"18 seconds left… Ugh.. This is really a disaster…"

I thought, gripping on my items tightly. Accepting the fate of this new life journey.

"How long will this stay?"

I wondered, staring at both the pregnant woman and the female child.

A few seconds later, the rain started to stop and the sky was almost coming back with sunshine and rainbows.

3…

2…

1.

Nether of us didn't trust the time whether it was really finished or not, so we stayed still until a blue panel finally showed up in front of us.

[ 1# Scenario have completed ! ]

Then another blue panel have appeared again,

But now it is different from the last one, this one says...

[ You have completed the first scenario, you may now be rewarded with 500 coins! ]

Each one of us was given 500 coins for completing the first scenario. We were relieved, the pregnant woman was still scared as before. She held the female child's hand tightly, looking at her with a worried expression on her face.

As we all were given 500 coins each after, they started moving towards each other out of scareness.

"They were all so stupid for moving,"

"I thought I was gonna die..!!"

Gossips were heard from the guys near me, and most of the cast here were around 16+ but one of them was only the little girl.

As soon as we were given 500 coins each, the pregnant woman immediately turned to the little girl with a very worried expression on her face, she crouched to her height level and firmly hold on to her shoulders

"Oh my dear! Are you okay, young girl?"

Asked, the pregnant woman. Her eyes saddened to see the little girl being alone with no friends

The female child didn't quite react to her question, but surprised. She was unsure how to answer her, she just stared at her for a few seconds before finally answering with a nod and said,

"But I'm more worried about you, ma'am."

"Why is that?"

The female child stayed silent for a moment before answering with,

"It is because you're pregnant."

"Aha... Do not mind me much, you should atleast focus on yourself more."

I watched them all talking for a second before I stuff my items in the bag pack that I have bought earlier and wore my bagpack

The female child nodded as an answer to her response before turning to me and pointed at me.

Like a haunted doll turning its way like suddenly...

The pregnant woman looked at the direction she was pointing at and she was confused about what I had to do with her.

She turned back to the female child and asked,

"What's wrong with him?"

Moments later of silence, with the sound of the nearby voices from the guys near me. Finally, she turned back to look at her and answered,

"Let's go towards him."

"Oh, okay"

She replied before holding onto the female child's hand, she follow along towards me and then the female child asked,

"sir, what's your name?"
