2 The Start Of Chaos

The map of the world was constantly changing. Some lands rising from the and some sank into the sea. The earth got turned upside down, with mountains becoming oceans and oceans becoming mountains. This cycle kept repeating itself over and who knows after how many cycles, it started showing signs of ending. By that time world was not how it was before, whole map of the world

had changed.

-----------------------

In an unknown place, by the shore lay a man about in his forties. He was injured all over and blood was coming out of his body. After about one day the man started waking up. He opened his eyes; mind still dizzy from being thrown all over by the sea waves. He was with average looks and a thin body.

Lucifer found himself in place of flat ground with no trees or houses. Consisting of only sand. The island was small enough that you could with some effort see the other end of the island. other than some distant floating island all he could see was sea, in which waves were moving quite fiercely. On his east his could see another piece of land floating some distance from the island he was on. It was almost nighttime, and sun had just set.

He was hungry and thirsty. The temperature was dropping. His head was still hurting, and he needed to find something to eat, drink and rest. But surprisingly he didn't find himself getting weaker and was able to endure his hunger well. He started exploring the small island in hope of finding something. Alas, he was unfruitful. As his hunger was getting worse, he found himself moving toward the island, near the one he was standing on, unknowingly.

He smelled a something in that direction. But after focused on smelling what that was he found that there was no smell in air except of salty water but he just felt like that here would be something nice to smell on the other island. He felt like something was telling him to go that place like sixth sense telling him that there was something. Since he was getting nowhere in his own effort, he decided to follow where he was being led.

Right as he decided to move to that island, he felt the island shaking. He turned back to see the cause and the next second he started running as fast as possible to the other island because a large wave was coming in the direction of his island. It was large enough to drown the entirely drown the whole island.

He started running unbalanced because he still wasn't quite used to his body after getting trapped in the computer for 20 years. After some running, he started to maintain his balance and he astonished to find that he was faster than he initially thought, much faster. But still the wave was even faster. As he reached the shore on the east side the wave was already crushing on the other side of the island. He closed his eyes and desperately tried to run, when suddenly he heard something clicked in his body and felt the things slowing down around him as he started running faster than he could control. The next instant he smashed into something.

After feeling dizzy for moment, he gathered himself and was welcomed to a burning pain in his whole body, some places even had signs of skin being burnt. But as his mind got cleared, he stood up and alertly looked around him to see his situation. He had smashed into big rock enough to be called a small mountain. He looked around and found himself on another island which has a few trees and some bushes. The island he was currently on was even smaller than the one he was on before. He tried to look around to see where he ended up with.

After looking around he saw, that about a few kilometers away, some small pieces of land floating in raging sea, so small that it would be hard for to person to stand on it. Some distance from where there were the smallest pieces of land there was another island, he understood that the small pieces of land was the island he was previously standing on and the island near the small pieces land was his current destination.

He was truly puzzled how he got here and why he got all those burns, but with no idea where to start on he stared resting because if tried to move his still burnt body will hurt more so he decided to wait until it get better. He closed his eyes and because he still was not completely used to this plus, he was about forty years old with his body doing nothing but resting for the past almost twenty years he got tired quickly and fell asleep.

He shakily opened his eyes while using his hand to cover to them from the rays of sun shining on his eyes. He tried to stand up and with effort he was successful. After a good sleep he was able to gather himself to think about his current situation. After remembering everything he looked down at his body in shock because the burnt he got yesterday were not serious but still not light enough to heal in one night.

He decided to forget about this because he knew that he will not get anywhere. The morning breeze cold but he didn't find that troublesome even when his clothes were in torn badly. He, due to his habit of wanting to know about the happenings of the world, thought about the current situation of the world. He got really surprised when suddenly an image, who knows from where, came to his mind.

It felt like it was always in his mind like he knew about this but just forgot. What was surprising was that he knew for sure that he never saw that kind of picture about the world. In that image there were many small islands floating on sea. Some were small and some were big enough to be called a small continent. There were 3 continents like islands and some small ones were still moving their direction trying to merge with the bigger ones.

Black clouds were almost on every island with thunder striking and and some of those islands still being torn apart by waves or earthquakes with some signs of it stopping. Some islands still emerging from the sea while some sinking into the sea. Lucifer instinctively knew that this was the current state of the world. But still he was confused why or where did this image come from.

Still findings no clues, he decided to put matter at back of his mind and find a move that island his sixth sense kept urging him to go. With destination in sight and goal at hand he was able to temporarily forget about these troubling matters.
