1 1:1-Not So Bland, Bland Life
icy black orbs stared blankly into the pitch-black room, that smells suspiciously similar to an old back alley. At least that was the scent his nose picked up but to any normal person, it would smell more Charnel. His sense of smell having been depleted as the years passed.
His eyes scanned the room unable to identify anything or anyone in particular. When his eyes were demobilized based on circumstances his hearing shun the most, he picked up the sound of footsteps that slowly got closer. The clang of metal against concert rang then a jarring sound of a crowbar sliding against the ground stung his ears.
He cringed backward letting out a hiss in annoyance as his ears stung in resentment towards the harsh sound. The situation was more or less perilous but he could care less more pissed off than afraid; because of the aftereffect of the noise. His ears ringing accumulating an unnerving headache.
As the footsteps of the stranger closed in on him, he felt his stomach twisting with a mixture of different emotions. A childish glow flashed in his eyes and his lips turned upward into an idiotic grin in excitement.
"I have always been your number one fan, Adrian but you aren't as innocent as I thought I must persevere your innocence."
The eerie voice of the faceless stranger would normally send chills down any normal person spin. Yet the boy in the chair felt that was the least of his worries. He tried to hold back a laugh at the line he read in a few recent yandere novels. The pure cringe he got from hearing it gave him secondhand embarrassment. Even looking past that he couldn't help filling his next response with mockery.
"Lies! I am an innocent damsel and I'm currently in distress from that lie."
Sarcasm was leaking from his voice as he rolled his eyes, his words breaking the mood, an awkward cough coming out of the kidnapper's mouth at the sarcastic statement. Adrian's 'misconduct' with both the male and female demographic was not a secret anyone with a phone knew that the smaller male lost his chastity long ago. He isn't innocent nor weak the way he acts causes a lot of people to hate him.
Then there is his rich background, as a kid, he was kidnapped, tricked, and schemed against a lot. It would have been stupid of him not to pick up fighting classes and study a bit more, he naturally became street smart from experience. You'd think that after watching one person fail to get money from his kidnapping that people learn from it, but no! he kept being targeted, after all his parents had more enemies than he ever will.
Adrian: ✨Innocents✨
A look of boredom washed over Adrian's face as his excitement slowly disappeared. All signs of interest turning into dust. With his tragic back story, you'd think he would have trauma, a twisted personality, or some shady hobby, but he considers himself normal. Keywords 'he' and 'consider' he is not normal his personality and mortality became a bit twisted. Growing up he became more and more interested in his circumstances and an average life was too boring for him. When he did get caught in something shady he got excited as if he was in a virtual horror movie. Of course, he's got himself out of it before it became too serious. He draws his line too close to the edge.
With his past, it is to be expected that he could tell a fake kidnapping from a real kidnapping and the current situation he is in is not real. It was scripted, if the man acted better or if he had put him in a better location he wouldn't have broken character like he's about to break the amateur actors' pride if the acting. He became bored like usual and when he succumbs to boredom he turns into an a**hole.
"what are you going to do? I am kinda bored now, and why is it so dark? Your acting is bad the place is too cliche, we are in an abandoned building right. That little scene you did with the crowbar is melodramatic it would have been scarier if it was dim instead of pit pitch-black. If the lights were flickering on and off and if we were in a slaughterhouse. Then you'd get away with this smell you sprayed and if we were in a forest it would have given this whole experience a certain doom feel. Your weapon should have been a knife, an ace, or probably even a gun because right now it feels like a high school gang drama."
kidnapper: What are you, my producer?
"Also this whole act is uselessly ruining my skincare routine. I give it a one-star because this stinky humid building is not it."
"Oh! if you're actually going to kill me now please burn down my storage unit some things should be left unseen."
kidnapper: I.am.scared.....
The room went quiet once the smaller boy finished his input. After not getting his long-awaited response he took it upon himself to untie himself. Easily breaking out the ropes without actually damaging them. Leaning back in the chair he rubbed his wrist before standing up from the chair.
"Thank you, now did my manager hire you to scare me, or are you genuinely trying to preserve this false innocent of mine?"
He said mockingly, usually, his voice would piss anyone off but the fake kidnapper in front of him was too embarrassed to even react.
"Uh..."
"So my manager sent you."
Adrian confirmed in a matter-a-fact tone taking his phone from his back pocket he turned it on to turn his flashlight on.
"Also it's a huge giveaway that your not a real kidnapper when you don't take your victims' phones."
well unless your just an idiot.
Adrian flashed the light on the face of his kidnapper. He gave a quirky smile seeing him, scrutinizing the man's face, body, and personality through his eyes. Causing the bigger male to feel extra nervous. He then showed a charming smile as he looked at him satisfied with his features.
"How about I use these rope to tie you up and we turn this little act into bondage play-"
His phone gave a startling ring the face of his manager showing up on his phone without a second thought he answered the phone less than pleased with her interruption.
"What is it now?"
A mature voice of a woman erupted from his phone.
"Adrian you still have your phone!? The amateurs must have failed you better not be flirting again."
The older woman yelled causing him to click his tongue pouting.
"you think too lowly of me Cece dearest!"
"How many times do I have to tell you to not call me that."
"When you agree to be my bed mate."
He swore he could hear his manager flicking him off on the other side of the line.
"Stop playing and get back here since my attempt to scare you out of having sex with random fans failed you will be up practicing all night."
"So using possible past trauma of mine seem like a good idea to subdue me into listening to you?."
His voice was filled with judgment hearing his manager tsk in response.
"You have done worse to your coworkers don't take the high road mister ' I'ma call your abusive father if you don't cooperate."
kidnapper: Wow, I thought I was bad! These people are f*cked up...
" I only do that too annoying bosses!"
"THAT'S WORSE YOU DAMN BRAT!"
Adrian: ✨I am professional~✨
The scared kidnapper quickly escaped afraid for his life.
"Turn the lights on, on your way out."
Adrian called out ending the phone call as he set back in the wooden chair.
"My life is so f*cking boring I need to find a different occupation."
"I am already in the black market should I start human trafficking no that's wrong."
translation; To boring and too lazy to continually hide my identity
"Drug dealing no that's wrong."
translation; To clinch for my liking
" Or maybe run a mercenary business no that's illegal and I too lazy to lead people."
He suddenly starting looking around slightly paranoid before calming down
translation; My family already own one and they are currently about to overthrow the government
translation part 2; I already worked there for five years and I'm hiding the fact that my family has one in case someones watching.
"Life is boring."
translation; My life isn't boring I'm just crazy
Adrian; I am a normal 28-year-old child
translator; get out of the translation section
Adrian groaned in annoyance sitting back down in his chair then something suddenly dinged in his head.
'I am System 10692 do you wish to cure your boredom because with the Transmigration system help you would never be bored again forever traveling from life to life after finishing missions. With the help of me, system 10692 you would be accompanied in your lifetimes through noobie mode to God tier mode.'
After hearing the sales pitch Adrian's eyes gleamed excitedly.
"Have I grew crazy enough to hear voices?!"
'.....'
'No, I am real.'
10692 metalized in thin air a small ball of fluff with bunny ears appearing.
'My form would have been something you are comfortable with but based on your thoughts I am afraid I rather go with something I am comfortable being."
"Okay, so I am a host like in the novels."
'Yes.'
"So I'll just assume I am not going crazy and go along with this, so what section am I in?"
'That is your choice to decide.'
A yellow holographic screen appeared showing a list of systems Adrian's eyes immediately drawn to a few he was interested in.
