1 adaptation, hope

In a completely dark room with only a small hanging lamp in the middle.

The light of the lamp coming from there could not reach the dark corners of the room.

On a chair close to the light of the hanging lamp.

There was a 46-year-old fat uncle, looking at the patient's chronological record in his hand.

"Nicholas, How are you feeling today?"

Looking into the corner of the very dark room.

There was a thin young man, wearing a mental hospital gown, huddled there silently in the darkness.

"Too bad doctor. I feel that you will kill me next."

Nodding his head slowly. The doctor wrote a small note on his blackboard.

"Then how do you think I'm going to kill you?"

Shivering with great fear.

Nicholas looked at the doctor who had been taking care of him for the past 2 years with a creepy face.

"I-I.... I thi..nk.. the doctor will...blow up this hospital..."

The doctor stopped writing and raised his head.

The doctor stared at Nicholas for a moment.

lowered his glasses, and picked up his old mobile phone.

Walking towards Nicholas slowly.

The doctor crouched down in front of the terrified Nicholas and handed over the mobile phone in his hand.

"Take it. May you have fun and be happy as long as you live."

Leaving Nicholas with the mobile phone still on.

Nicholas who was still cowering in fear in the corner opened his eyes, and looked at the bright light in his eyes.

"D-doctor!??"

Looking around hurriedly. Nicholas immediately knew that the doctor had left.

Sighing heavily. Nicholas sat down and began to calm the restlessness in his heart.

Saw the mobile phone that was still on and heard the background music of the game there.

Nicholas picked it up with trembling fingers and carefully looked at what was on the screen.

MINECRAFT.

Huge writing appeared on the screen and Nicholas saw that there were cube trees and flowers in the background.

Involuntarily, Nicholas pressed a button.

"New Game."

"°•~•°"

"BAAAAANGGGGG!!!!!"

He opened his eyes in shock. Nicholas looked around him warily.

Seeing that he was alone in the middle of nowhere. Nicholas hurried away from the nearby trees, and shivered in fear in the middle of the open space.

"I know that the doctor wants to kill me! They all want to kill me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die..."

Holding his head full of long hair. Nicholas didn't even care about his changed voice.

When Nicholas was playing with the Minecraft game he just got a few hours ago. Suddenly there was an explosion and the debris of the building began to fall on him.

When Nicholas opened his eyes with difficulty. It was as if his body had been hit by a heavy ton brick building, which Nicholas could not feel the bottom of at all.

Seeing a huge fire that continued to approach him and burn him to death. The fear he had overcame the pain in his body at that moment.

"Why... Why is my life full of suffering?"

"I just don't want to die. Is that too much to ask?"

"Why is my life so difficult."

"If only....."

In the last glimpse Nicholas had, he was engulfed in flames with all the regrets he had.

"°•~•°"

Running around the trees in fear. Nicholas suddenly felt that he was falling and sinking quickly into a very deep sea.

"Help!!! Anyone help! Me!"

Trying to reach around frantically. Nicholas finally found a floating log, and began to swim hurriedly back to the edge of the lake.

Reaching the mainland. Nicholas hurried away from the lake as if he saw something terrible lurking there.

Turning to the side, Nicholas was suddenly surprised by the tree next to him!

Nicholas: "!!!!"

Jumping in fear. Nicholas looked at the trees and the lake with a very frightened expression.

"S-S-Stay away! Don't kill me, please, let me live!!!"

Huddled in fear again in the open. Nicholas shivered in fear for a few moments, then he opened his eyes in exhaustion.

Seeing that the trees and the lake did not move at all. Nicholas patted his plump chest with relief.

"Thank goodness they left... I was really scared."

Sighing tiredly. Suddenly Nicholas saw that there was a long black thing sticking to his head!

"Snakes!!!"

Not stupid, It's your hair.

Jumping around in fear. Nicholas finally plunged into the cold lake again.

It seems he still needs time to adapt to himself at the moment.

"°•~•°"

As Nikola Tesla haters once said. Humans have quite adaptive

At least that's what Nicholas has been doing all along. At least he is no longer afraid of trees and rocks Now.

For days running non-stop. Nicholas finally realized something was wrong.

"W-what's wrong with my body? Why don't I feel tired at all?"

He frowned in confusion. Nicholas was worried about this.

For days he ran non-stop. Nicholas had at most only eaten leaves and some unknown fruits during his journey.

Nicholas should have been suffering from stomach ailments for a long time. However, he has not experienced it until now.

Calming his restless mind. Nicholas saw that there were gray white colored boxes floating in his field of vision.

"AH...!! GHOST!!!"

Nicholas scared for half a day because of the panel in his vision. he finally stopped yelling and looked at her carefully.

At the bottom of his eye sight. There are 10 transparent gray white boxes, with one box having a 3 point line.

Looking at a different box with his own avatar. The box seemed to be suddenly pressed by someone, and a screen suddenly opened.

He opened his eyes in surprise. Nicholas held the tree next to him very tightly.

In this panel he saw. For some reason Nicholas felt a very Familiar feeling.

"W-wait? Minecraft?"

Looking at this panel carefully and comparing it to the panel he saw in the previous game. Nicholas does have 90% percent sure that this is a Minecraft panel.

Except for the very realistic figure with long hair wearing dull clothes in the right panel. This was the exact panel he was familiar with.

"Wait a minute. If I'm not mistaken, the panel on the right is your own character.... Is that... Me?"

Caressing his chest which had been sticking out with fear. A long-haired male character in the panel followed his movements and touched his chest with trembling hands.

Raised his left hand. The character in the panel also followed the moves he made.

Confirm the panel and the system for half a day. Night came very quickly.

Seeing that there are three moons in the sky. Nicholas took the leaves of the bush that was next to him, and ate them directly without caring about the taste at all.

Looking at the food bar, it started to fill little by little. Nicholas's eyes were shining very brightly in the darkness of the night.

He still remembers the words of YoTuber (pliss sponsor) that he watched before the explosion.

"In Minecraft, you can do whatever you want. Build an invincible fortress, kill an Ender dragon, build beautiful buildings, farm, and more!"

"Unleash your mind in there! Do what you want!"

Closing his eyes while remembering the words that the person once said. Nicholas opened his eyes with determination, and opened his mouth with determination.

"I want to live in peace."

A small voice was heard from behind in the very dark forest. Although his voice is not big at all. A spark of hope began to appear in his ever-vigilant world.

Seeds of hope begin to grow.
