2 Kidnapped

An alarm was going off in my ear. "Requesting input from Subject." A voice resembling a young girl sounding in my ears as I woke up. What I was seeing when opening my eyes was shocking. A floating blue circle was in front of me. A hologram perhaps? "Requesting input from Subject." The voice sounding again as I was disoriented. Input? "What input?" I tried asking. "Press your hand against the blue circle and it will recognize it as a Subject input. Even though you did respond to me, I do not have enough authority to trick this part of the system."

Being confused I went up to the circle as I was pressing my hand against the middle, stopping mid-air as if there was a wall there. "Subject input accepted. Scanning Subject in preparation for procedure B in Introductions."

The circle suddenly expanding and becoming a semi-transparent square. On the top, I could read Subject File creation and when removing my hand from the screen managing to read 98% before it disappeared and the top had changed to 'Subject File and In-World Status'. The part where the progress circle existed was now replaced with some sort of document.

At the side of all the information, a virtual model was being built, similar to multiple sci-fi anime and movies I have seen. The mapping of a human body rotating as it was slowly built from the bottom and up. Meanwhile, the same voice spoke again. "Can you please insert your name and age into the text box that is going to appear in front of you? If possible, please write the names of your acquaintances too."

As she said, a box of some sort and a floating keyboard was emerging in front of me. Beginning to write in the name field: "Livy Sorgsdöttir", then the age field: "17" and then in the acquaintance fields: 'Lily, Tarya Falnadborg, and Bernard Falnadborg.'

||--~ Meanwhile ~--||

"I refuse to give my name up!" A girl said while a voice was responding to her. "If you do not complete the procedure we will never advance from this place devoid of any light." The girl declining again and again until the voice was responding with a different message. "Name accepted. Falnadborg, Tarya. I will make your age about the same as Livy, 16. Finished. Relations filled in. Congratulations on finishing the first part of the introduction procedure!"

Tarya who stood there becoming increasingly dejected. "Can I meet with Livy?" The voice responding to her request. "You can meet her, but not until the introduction is completed." Tarya, bringing up another question while still being angry. "How did you guys kidnap us without knowing our names anyways?" The voice coolly responding with: "We KNEW your names, but some IDIOT" a punching sound and the SFX for someone being hurt was resounding. "DELETED" Another punching and hurting sound. "THE" Another one. "FILES!" This time one could hear bones breaking.

The voice was heard awkwardly coughing before continuing the explanation...

||--~ -/- ~--||

"You, Livy Sorgsdöttir, together with your friends, have been kidnapped." The voice stopping, as if awaiting a response. Continuing after not receiving one. "What we have essentially created is a new secondary world." Taking a brief pause to gather itself again. "The only problem is that it's not safe at all for people to connect to the world."

"Therefore, we created a project, incorporating multiple thousands of people to be subjected to the potential dangers of... uh... Psychological Tremors, Traumas, Physical Convulsions, Death... The list goes on." I was frowning at the words traumas and death. "You, Subject 00001 have been chosen to participate in the project!" The frown on my face had already long ago reached the point where lines were showing on my forehead.

"What if I do not want to?" Trying to dig out information I was asking this question. The answer was not preferable "Then you will stay here, in this black world. Either until the experiment finishes, or you die because of some weird connection issue. Your choice!" Laughing then continuing the explanation all the while the voice seems to be elated?

"The blue portal in front of you is the entrance to Relynia, a world made by us, Lament Laboratories, and luckily for you, it is a perfect game world with Guilds, Parties, Bosses, etc. We thought that you might as well have fun while being test subjects. See you in Relynia!" Cutting off at the end as if they plugged out the connection the voice disappeared.

"Falsum vitae, who would have thought." Stepping through the portal as staying in this black world would only be detrimental to my psyche.

My vision turning from entirely black to entirely white in only a mere few moments before turning into a lush town consisting of many people walking up and down. All of the AI's were looking at me weirdly for some reason. Looking down I instantly used the system to report a bug.

*Ding!* "After reading your report we have decided to gift you a set of clothes free of charge! Happy testing! The memories of the AI's who saw you will also be removed!"

A green light gently covering me before a set of clothes appearing and I no longer had to worry anymore about that matter. Despite there being quite a few of AI's walking past me, I was actually not in the town yet, I was just outside it. Walking up towards the entrance I finally managed to read the name of the town on a sign. 'Newbie Village'

... Noted, the naming sense of scientists are horrible. (A/N: *ouch*)
