Chapter 2:-Status?
While thinking about his death he continued to fall. Seconds turned into minutes. By this time he was well aware that this was no manhole and he was in a situation that could not even be explained by normal means. As he continued to fall for half an hour he saw light coming from a distance, increasing in intensity before engulfing him.
When he felt that the light in the surrounding had decreased, he tried to open his eyes.
He saw that he was on an old bunker bed. It would creak if one moved too much on it. And several of these beds were arranged in rows and columns. The sheets of the beds had light stains on them as if they had not been washed properly. the walls of the house have cracks in them, moulds could be smelled in the whole room. There are sounds of rats scurrying. The windows were open and allowed sunshine to enter the room. The outside view was blocked by other buildings in the surroundings. There are drawings on the wall.
It sure brings back memories as this is almost the same as home (his orphanage) but worse. broken walls, a little bit of paint, Corruption at its finest. there is a sign of repair on the walls, maybe the person in charge of this place had a change of heart and put his money in the orphanage. LOL, what am I even thinking, obviously there is routine inspection and by the looks of the wall one happened not too long ago.
A quick look at my body and surroundings tells me that I am at the very least not hallucinating and am in someone else's body.
There is no bulb or any sort of electric appliance in the room which could mean that I am in the past, like way past, or in a world where electricity has yet to be used properly.
I try to remember anything about this world but I can not.
No memory of this world is good, don't want to change myself because of it. But it's going to make things difficult if I don't know who he is and how he behaves or anything.
When we speak with someone familiar we don't realize it but even the slightest change in the way of speaking can be caught and provided the situation I am in that would be fatal. Not knowing if amnesia is there in the world or if people in this world have something like memory loss does not help. No trick that I could think of could work at this moment for any behavior change except talking to the people of this world and understanding my expected behavior and only using the concepts which they have spoken.
After making up my mind I jumped down the bed and reached the only door to leave the room. As soon as I opened the door I was immediately greeted by hot air from outside and saw many children of all ages playing in what could be considered a gathering spot. There were many such rooms as the one I exited, all attached to form a closed area and in this closed area, some were playing, some chatting, and some going through the big door which might be the way to go outside. No staff was in sight but an office could be seen in the distance.
I stood there and observed everyone, eventually finding the perfect target, a group of children around the age 15 to 16 same as me, talking amongst themselves.
they are best for the test, they look like they would be bullies, so even if I said something wrong no one's going to believe them if they say something about me
"Hello". As soon as I said that I watched as the group turn towards me and show a shocked expression.
" ETHAN, come in the office "
As soon as I heard this name, I turned my head towards the office to see a middle-aged man with a bulging stomach and with not so friendly face calling to someone. But the middle-aged man was seeing directly to me.
Well, I guess my name is ETHAN now, and judging by the looks of the group of bullies, the original body owner might not have spoken in all his life and so when they heard me speak they were shocked or they had recently tried to kill me and are shocked to see me well and fine.
I started to go towards the office leaving a group of shocked children.
As soon as I reached the office I saw a lavish room decorated with lots of item witch looks expensive and an odd device that is blue in color and has circles of unknown elements surrounding it and moving oddly making the object look ethereal and out of the world. The device is magical in nature and if someone was close enough then he would realize that it is an item to cool the room.
Fuck yes, there is magic in this world. Fucking hell, I can do so many things and just the sheer amount of imagination is making my brain go overdrive. The amount of happiness I am feeling is just simply beyond anything I could tell.
" NATHAN, what are you doing, come sit there " I was too engrossed in the magic to even realize what was happening around me. The middle-aged man called me, whom I can only assume to be the person equivalent to the director of this place. Another person was setting there, an older man wearing casual clothes and having a kind smile on him. Kind only for children, I am almost 70% sure that the director is selling me to this "kind" person and even if I am wrong then at the very least he is going to organ transplant. I have to escape from this place at the first moment.
I sat down on the seat next to the "kind " person who was constantly seeing me.
" Nathan this is Doctor Dath Humes, and he is here to help you and if he finds your condition is serious then he will take you with him ."
Child trafficking, it is as plain as the day, so I might have to escape as soon as possible because I don't what to know any rich person's private life.
"Hello Nathan, as introduced I am here to help you, so I want you to do exactly as I say, got it?"
I did not respond in any way as I have seen the way the director reacted when I was staring at the world evolutionary super a.c. powered by magic, he was almost shocked to see such a reaction or I could say he was shocked to see any sort of reaction on my part. And if I consider this along with what happened with the bullies, it is almost confirmed that this person did not have a developed mind and did not speak nor did he do anything, he just did basic human things required to live.
He needed help, help which no one was willing to give him. Then I came and replaced him or killed him, I don't know what happened, all I know is that he is no more. And thank god that he is in a better place because what comes next I don't think he would have survived, he at least died peacefully.
" well Nathan before we start, could you possibly show me your status, just say status and think of showing it to me "
All the planning in my mind just multiplied when I heard the word Status.
STATUS( Shouting in mind with all his might)
