3 Wake up in a strange place
The sunlight peered through the thick leaves, making the person beneath it stirred at his sleep. The man frowned his eye slightly because of the sudden light.
"Achoo.."
The man rubbed his hand over his body to keep his temperature body warm. The man keeps rubbing until he can't take it anymore. He frustratedly groaned, "Who the hell lower down the temperature of AC??"
A few seconds passed, but still, no one answered him. The man suspected there is something wrong and opened his eyes swiftly.
"Hahaha...Tree." Bill pointed at the tree that covered him from the most sunlight.
"Hahahahaha-" His laugh soon grow quiet. Bill panicky glanced around but cannot find a single person or building.
"Guys! I know you are hiding behind that huge tree, right?" Bill slowly stood up, and with a swift, he moved to the backside of the tree.
"Catch you!" But his smile gradually froze, because there's no person there.
"Guys, please don't joke like this." A tone of panicky can detect from Bill's voice.
Yes, Bill was nervous as hell. Who wouldn't be worried if they were waking up in a place where they shouldn't be. Bill wouldn't be this nervous if he were waking up on a modern building. But the moment he conscious, the area around him was full of grass and trees. He was not familiar with this kind of sight. It was as if he went into the Village. Even Village has some modern buildings on it. But when he glanced around, he can't find a single building.
'Is he got kidnapped? By who? And why they dropped me in these strange places? And for what reason?
Bill legs slowly trembling because of fear and then fell on his knees. He was holding his chest, trying to calm his furious heartbeat. Then gradually, he lay his back on the grass while holding his aching head. He tried to remember if he accidentally offends someone powerful. But after thinking for a long time, Bill couldn't still get an idea who might kidnap him.
"What if a world like that exists?"
"Then, are you willing to visit it tomorrow?"
"Are you willing to have a second chance to live in a world where many magical kingdom and creatures exist?"
The history chat between him and the cheater crossed on Bill mind.
"It can't be." Muttered Bill in disbelief.
As if he can read Bill mind, a system notification that usually exists in Game now appeared on Bill sight.
[ CONGRATULATIONS! ]
[ YOU HAVE SOLVED THE RIDDLE ]
[ REWARD ]
[ System Game ]
[ A set of clothes ]
[ A Opportunity to roll Fortune Wheel ]
[ Accept ]
Bill felt fireworks exploded on his brain. His brain immediately stopped working after the system notification appeared out of nowhere. Few minutes passed. Bill soul seems gradually returned into its body.
"W-What?" Bill muttered weakly.
"Tell me this all dream." Bill slapped his cheek twice until his palm printed on it, but to his dismay, the still the system notification didn't disappear, and the pain he felt earlier was real.
"Haha."
"HAHAHAHA." Bill starts laughing maniacally like a madman. He stayed laughing for a minute before collapsed due to shock. His brain was exhausted after Bill's mind registered the recent event was real.
Bill sleeps for about 3 hours before waking up once again. He slowly opened his eyes and wishing that he would wake in the same desk he sleeps with yesterday night on GameNet. Unfortunately, fate didn't grant his wish and did the opposite. Bill opened his eyes only to find the same tree he saw earlier. Tears silently streaked across his cheeks. Bill uses his right hand to cover his crying face while quietly sobbed.
Being in a strange place without knowing anyone makes you feel scared. That's what Bill currently felt. The beautiful green environment didn't make Bill any better, and instead, it made him more afraid. He rather wakes up in the middle of the road with a lot of cars passed and honking at him than waking up in the unknown place. He didn't even know that if this place still on earth or not.
He quietly sobbed for a while before gradually calmed down. He wiped his tear off from his cheek with his backhand. Bill knows that crying will do nothing, but he needs to vent all his emotions through it. And it works, after crying for a while his mental state gradually returned normal. Or so he thought.
He only treated the person words as a joke, but who knows all of it was real. Bill heaved a sigh since all of this was real, why not just accept it? Bill stood up and patted his jean pants from grass that glued into it. He looked at the system notification, which he ignored earlier and started looking at it precisely. He was afraid he would miss something important because he knew the person who dragged him from earth to this place were cunning.
[ CONGRATULATIONS! ]
[ YOU HAVE SOLVED THE RIDDLE ]
[ REWARD ]
[ System Game ]
[ A set of clothes ]
[ A Opportunity to roll Fortune Wheel ]
[ Accept ]
The system also included in the reward? If Bill didn't connect the clue the chat history he had, wouldn't he didn't get the reward system and explanation forever?
'This person really cunning!' Bill silently thought.
Bill frowned slightly, seeing a familiar word, "Fortune Wheel." In the game "Heroes Journey" he played, "Fortune Wheel" is an event where the player would roll a wheel and get something from it. The wheel has no bad things except you could get a trash item from it.
Cautiously, Bill presses the accept button.
*Thud
