Warping My Reality

Beginning with the opening of a new chapter, it happened today when I opened my eyes that morning. I felt it, in the angst on the drive as it hung over me like a ghost. I was Twenty Six With a Great Job Yet, Here I am At the end of my career that Honestly I truly wanted. I was asking for freedom but couldn't find it.

I worked through the day only to face my own worst case scenario. it Stopped me for a while but I still feel confused? So, don't show up for work on Monday like... what do I do with my life now?

I looked around at the world from my own eyes. what do I need, Well nothing? what do I want, hell I want everything! I noticed an Ad playing on a holovid that took my attention. It was a pathetically sad Attempt at Getting People to Sign Up for Immigration to The new moon Statuon. I Turned To Walk Into the shop and Saw The owner It looked at me with its Dead empty eyes. It seems they can't Replicate the same look of a soul in the eyes of an A.I Droid.

It Whirred As It's Second Generation body Being a Bit Dry on Oil Made It Sluggish.

"How may I help you?"

I Scoffed as I checked my account on My Phone last check was issued today, it was meager and spent on bills already. I looked at the Droid in Disbelief as Insignificant thoughts went through my head. I was broke with just forty-five credits. this is it, I Lost completely This Time.

I Took my Time Looking around As I Dodged my thoughts of the Future Considering My New Circumstances. The Droid Went About its Preset Dialog While I had Only been Toiling in my Drama.

" May I suggest you Try Our Raffel? If You are Down You May Just Get Luck... Luc... Luckieee."

The A.I Droid Stuttered as His Eyes Gleamed With A certain Glint That Wasn't exactly Human! Although it was no longer just a Droid as a Murkey sound Let Free a New Voice.

" Let Me Tell You Human Welcome To The New Universe. One Made in perfect Replication To Our Now Golden Universe, You can Be One of the Few AlPha Tessss...testers. Just Be Over Joyed For You Have Been Accepted By The Predecessors as one Of their Guinea.... I Mean one Of Their Chosen. I Am glad you Have Accepted The Mana virus, but am Rather shocked You have No Quick Reactions A Shame I wanted to See it before... "

The Droid Flicked It's Head Sideways Before Falling To the Floor The People around The Store Stopped and Began To Look at Us. I Looked around But no one else Seems To Have Seen What I saw!? I Left the Store With a headache Walking the Half Mile To My House The City Seemed so Large, Ominous, and yet Void!

I saw Flashes Of what Felt like the Future as My World Melted It was Like a Bad Trip, I was Given Some Reason as I Stopped To Blink and The images Faded.

It was Wierd I Remembered that I was Going Home The Streets Were Broken down. I heard Screams And Such But Nothing registered ASAP. The World Was Like Static I made it to my Apartment Somehow it was a Large Complex Nothing Felt Off Beside The Feeling of Shaking.

NO ONE SEEMED TO NOTICE BUT ME!! The Girl I Bumped Into asked Me If I was alright but She was unaffected as She Helped me To My Floor, To My door, and Inside. She Left Me in Disbelief as I told Her To Charge me Five creds and I'll Csnap her later.

I Felt Weightless as I went Into my apartment Thanks To Her and saw some thing was Not Right. THE Rooms were all Bare?! EMPTY I was Robbed?

My Room also More importantly My Bed was Missing and In its Place Was a large Silver Pod.

It Looked Like a Coffin it was Humming, Chiming And I'm Absorbed in that Tone That Damn hum Called to me. I Crawled Over To It as the Weightless feeling Began To Spin the Room. Sealing the Deal The Top Of the Pod Reacted to my Hands. As I felt the back of my neck Burn my head Spun sound Let me know I was Alive!

The Large Pods Top Disappeared As If the Metal lid Dissolved Like water. As I Lifted Myself Too quickly My Stomach Emptied and The Weightlessness rolled me over. I Fell Asleep Landing in a soft warm Feeling I felt The World Wash away.

The Dream Was Hot Like actual Heat, The Feeling of Overwhelming Fire slowly faded. I felt The Colors Passing me Blue as It Lit the Void With a Soothing Yet Sad Feeling. Cold Flashed over me And Yet I Felt alive as The Feelings Slowly Melted Off my Soul.

I was Asked a question that I wasn't sure how to answer. the blur accepted my answer, Yet I never knew I gave one. I was Able to Understand after the Next Color Came.

Pink Filled The Void With Warm Heartedness And Joy Like a Pair Of wings. That Seemed To Appeal to the Question that was Asked as The Next Color Was Black. that As Followed By Green, Red, Black again, Orange, Yellow, And The Last Was Grey.

Each Color Present Came a question That I never truly answered but Fuck It, I Went With It Until the Void Filled Until It was Bright White.

A Voice Came Into My Consciousness It was Not soothing Very Mechanical, Rough, Rugged, and Metallic

His Voice Sharpened before It Went Quite, A Bubbling Sound Apeared Inside my Head.

Another Voice That Sounded Almost Melodic Filled My Ears, I Mean My actual Ears!?

I Had Somehow Materialized Here in this Big Ass white void A Human looking girl was Standing In front of me. She Looked about and then at herself before she gathered herself then Spoke.

" Pure White... Hmm It's Been Seven. No, it's been Nine Cycles Since a white room has appeared on the First Try."

" Is That Bad I Mean? Have I Spectacularly failed if It is But What Can I say That's Kind Of My Life Right Now!"

The Girl Looked at Me Before Saying Something I Didn't quite understand.

" Don't Worry About it, Any ways Welcome To The Innocuous World Of Wonder Known As The Silver Universe, A Mock Of Perfection to Scale That Is a connection between reality and well This Semi Virtue known to Your Species as A virtual world!"

She Looked at me Expecting Something.

" No, Okay To Business, This World Is Akin to a Virtual Reality That Is a Perfect Scale That Governs The Real World Which To be Exactwould make this an actualization. This Was Created by the Progenitor Species That Governor all Of The Known Universe. Instead Of Death and Famine They Have Bestowed Unto All Life This Treasure Of Peace. As Such Earth Was Given the Grace Period Of Seven Years, You Have Been chosen As an Alpharetta Noob."

She Looked at me Once Again Expecting me to Speak and I Just Let Her Continue.

" Then On a Universal Scale A War For the Dominant of Power Which the Progenitors Retain Currently Has Been Waged For A Millennia Has Finally reached The Galaxy Known as Pentercost 420. The Chosen Are A Few Thousand people on This Earth Planet with the ability To Adapt. Thus The Connection now In you was Given Via a One Time Virus.

This Is Just a Small Token Of Our Appeal, Since The actions this Group Takes May Make or Break the way the Rest Of TSO Sees You as a Whole. No pressure though Since It is Just a game."

Her Smile Told Me That This Game Was More than Just a simple Game.

" Okay So, How Do I Proceed from here?"

She Looked Down and Then Looked Me In my Eyes.

" Show Some Damn Shame And put on Some Clothes. You Have Acces To an Inventory? I Think I said that Right... Yep, also maybe Start With an Introduction. I'm sure you can manage That?"

I Looked around For The Inventory And When I said The Word in my Head a Small Opaque purple Window Popped Up.

It had No Words but a Box With a Bunch of Boxes With well Pictures of Items Inside there was Two Items. It had an Awkward amount in a Grid of five by three, Fifteen slots But in two of them were well?!

" Random Clothes Box?"

I Read that Item aloud and It popped out a Small Grey Box. When I Opened the Box that was Small No bigger than a Ring Box It opened and I got a Prompt That Bloomed the information shown made me Smile.

[ Clothes set] ( Grey Armored Trench Coat)

(Grey Armored Pants) ( Shirt Blank_Grey) ( Grey Garmant set <Drawers&socks>)

[equipped]

I was Dressed now Looking clean In a Nice Grey And It Fit Comfortably I Noticed I wasn't As fat with My weight, which was Closer To one fifty Now When I weighed Closer To Three Hundred pounds In real Life?

It was probably just My game Avatar...

" Name? Unless Do you Not have One?"

I Looked at her but My Mind Went Blank.

" I Can't Remember my Name?"

" Duh, You just have to Look at The Stat Screen."

" Stat Screen?"

That brought a Screen Blooming Into my View Noticing that shocked me Before I could address it She Spoke Up Blocking my Thoughts.

" Geez Have You Never Played a game Before? Think About Your Stats or Say It in Your Mind It Shouldn't Take To Much Brain power To Do. Unless Humans Are Simpler than our First Measure!"

" That Was Low, But fair Point I admit although I Have figure that Out A second ago."

I Thought Stats as I spoke It and Bam It appeared. Looking down At the Screen I was Stuttered But was able to Speak The Name.

" Names, Tequilla James Silver Raven Rico, Wow That sounds awesome! My Health, Stamina, Mana, and Psy.

They are all at two hundred, the Other Things Like Class, Level, skills, and Statistics are all Non applicable."

" Wow Two Hundred Across The Board, Yep, Listen Up Share that with No One Ever Again, even Me, EVER!! moving On The Other reason Is Because You Have Yet To Enter The True TSO you are in the Home Base right Now. When You Do Enter You will Appear In a Random Place, With random Stats Perpetual to you as a Being. You will Always Be Human But Can Actually Be Altered, so Have fun With that, But Right Now Let's Focus On A Few Choices Let's Open Box Number Two!"

I Looked back At my Inventory The Second Box Was Black With No Name Just Like the Grey Box It Opened.

No Prompt Appeared As I Felt A Completely Foreign Voice In My Head.

" What happened Where Am I?"

I Looked at The Ground and the Girl In front of Me Spoke.

" That Is a whole ass Creature, What The Hell Is It? Is This Thing From Your Planet!?"

" This Is a Raven, But it's a Robot?"

" No, It's A Familiar Name it And You Will See."

" Okay, Let me Think? How Does Scythe Sound?"

" I See This Name Does Suit One of our Forms but Not The Entirety of My Being Master."

The Bird Spoke again, I Understanding The Situation I only Freaked out a Little Bit.

" I See looking at The Entirety Of You, You Kind Of look Like a Black And Purple phantom Of a Raven. How About Phantom as A Name?"

" Hmm Yes, It Sounds Rather menacing Master. I Accept This Name And Thy Role as a Familiar. My Current State allows you Three Forms, Two Of Which are Weapons, and One Is This Current form. First form Is Kama Scyth blades, Second Form is Laser Pistol. Upon Upgrade You Can Receive More Benefits I can Even Change My Form Freely For you Twice."

He Paused And His Eyes Flashed a Dull green.

" It Seems We Are Both Barely Hatched Master, When Do We Start our Journey?"

" Kill The master Crap, my Name is Tequilla James Silver Raven Rico. Call Me What You Will from that, as For that Question She is More likely to know Than Me."

I pointed at the Lady And She Looked At me Stunned.

" What About the Other One though That Ugly Little?"

She Pointed at My Shoulder and on It a small Blue Turtle made of Metal Sat Quite.

The Hell is going on and This Damn brat The Turtle Looked at her sharply and then Turned its tail To her.

" That's a Turtle simply put I am Naming it The Strongest Metal. Uh That Would Be What Exactly?"

I Looked at the Girl Who Never Mentioned Her name!?

" That Is Called Star core Or nebulae Ore. Also My Name Is Michael Jackson, Ooh That Translation Sounds Smooth Like an Evil Criminal Name!"

" That Name Is Perfect I Dub You Nebulae."

" Thanks Bud But I Already Have a Name Although I can Accept that As My Title. Tetly, Is My Name But From here forth I Will Accept My Role as a Bound Familiar And don the Family name Nebulae hence Forth By The Shakti Creative.

My Name Tetly Nebulae, Pledge My Soul bond to You As Designated.

I shall Choose To Call You Raven."

I Looked at the Little Turtle With a Large Voice He Shook His Head Before Speaking.

" I Have No Extra Forms, But rest assured I Am a Living Entity with Effigy Akin To A Soul. When You Grow, So Shall I As we are connected. I Do However Possess a Small Ability Called [Shield field] This was Never In My Knowledge Before Today's Summons."

The Girl Cut in before I could ask a Question.

" This is Definitely Wierd, White Room, Two Hundred on all Subsides, Familiars, and Also an Introduction From Me. A Living GM for a Noob? This Is Special Once In a Life time Type Of Deal Looks like Times up Here Though Since I Have Finished With My Job They Becon me To Another's Aid. But Before I go Open The Skills list."

I Did as She Said and saw a Skill Which wasn't there Previously. Two More appeared The moment I pressed the First one.

" You are welcome!"

I Felt a Jerk And The Girl Faded.
