Glimpse Of Chaos

"Ugh... My head... Where am I?" Sig groaned as he took a deep breath, feeling the cold metallic floor beneath his hands.

Listening intently to the silence around him, he strained to detect any sound or movement, but he couldn't sense the presence of any other person in the room.

Sig began to crawl on all fours, his fingers tracing the edges of the walls and floor. His sharp mind quickly formed a mental map of the room's layout. "An enclosed space with metallic walls, no windows or doors. It must be some kind of container," he thought.

Pausing to consider his options, he reminded himself that panicking wouldn't help him; he needed to stay calm and focused. His years of struggle had taught him not to act based on emotional distress.

"First things first, I need to find a way out of here," Sig said to himself as he continued to explore the space, guided by his tactile senses. He felt his way around, searching for any clues or openings. He knew he had to keep his wits about him and trust in his own abilities, like he always did.

As Sig was contemplating a way out of his predicament, an unbelievable occurrence shook him to his core. Suddenly, he saw a concrete image of a light blue, thinly and transparent squared layout in front of his sightless vision. Being born blind and only knowing nothingness his whole life, he had never expected himself to "see" anything until the day he died.

The experience left him feeling overwhelmed, and he struggled to make sense of it all as he stared at the strong blue light surrounded by darkness. He had never seen or even considered what the color blue was, but based on the mental image provided by the numerous individuals he had met in his life whom described him what the color blue was, he could sense a certain calmness and an easygoing vibe from it, like how the sound of water makes one feel relaxed and at ease.

As he absorbed the shock of this new sensation, Sig realized that this experience might hold the key to his escape. He began to examine the blue square, searching for any clues or hints that could help him unlock the way out.

Shortly after the appearance of the hologram, Sig observed a wave of symbols forming within the hologram. To his surprise, he instinctively knew what they were and how to make sense of them.

"T-Those... are they w-words?" Sig stammered in disbelief.

As a blind man, Sig had learned how to read braille texts by moving his fingertips from left to right across the lines of dots. He had never learned or seen what the alphabetic letters looked like. Then how was he able to read them?

The question puzzled him, but he didn't have time to dwell on it. He focused on deciphering the message, hoping it would lead him to a way out of the container. Sig continued to read the holographic symbols and as a habit his fingertips traced along their shapes and forming words in his mind.

Sig quickly recognized the terms "Mission," "Skills," and "Floor," as they were commonly used in video games. Although he had never had the chance or ability to enjoy himself in these activities, he wasn't uncultured enough to not know what those meant.

"If this is like a video game, then I must have a character window or something similar," he thought to himself.

As soon as he had the thought, a second hologram of the same color and dimension appeared, but this time, it displayed different information. He exclaimed to himself, wondering what it could be.

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

[Name: Sig]

[Age: 28]

[Tokens: 0]

[Innate Trait: Second Sight]

[Passive Skills (0/3): N/A]

[Active Skills (0/3): N/A]

[Debuff: Blindness (Permanent)]

[Equipment: Dusty Set Of Cloths (Common)]

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

Sig studied the hologram intently, trying to make sense of the new information. He was amazed at how much he could learn about himself in such a short time. With this newfound knowledge, he felt more equipped to tackle the challenge of escaping from the container. He began to strategize, thinking about how he could use his skills and abilities to his advantage.

'Second Sight? What does it do?...!'

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

[Innate Trait]

[Second Sight: Your lifetime of blindness has led to a heightened sensitivity in your other senses. As a result, the efficiency of your available senses are doubled. Your auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile senses are more responsive. ]

Sig was amazed by this revelation. His lack of sight had always made him feel disadvantaged, but now he realized that it had given him a unique advantage In this unknown place. He felt a renewed sense of confidence, knowing that he could use his heightened senses to navigate the container and find a way out.

He closed his eyes and focused on his senses, listening intently for any sounds, smelling the air for any odors, and feeling the texture of the floor with his fingertips. He realized that he could detect subtle details that he had never noticed before, and that his ability to perceive the world around him was now much more acute.

With this newfound strength, Sig began to move more purposefully around the container, using his senses to guide him. He knew that his unique ability was his greatest asset, and that he could use it to overcome the obstacle that lay ahead.

With much force, Sig swung his arm towards the metallic wall and hit it with the palm of his hand. The sound of the impact reverberated throughout the container, allowing him to scan the small enclosed space much more easily thanks to his enhanced auditory sensibility. As he listened intently, he noticed a disturbance in a specific location inside the container.

He focused his senses on that spot, trying to determine what was causing the disturbance. He heard a faint buzzing sound and a subtle shift in the air pressure. It was almost imperceptible, but he could sense that something was there.

With renewed determination, Sig walked towards the source of the disturbance. He felt his way around, using his heightened perception to guide him. As he approached the location, he felt a slight draft of cool air barely perceivable if not for his heighted tactical senses. He knew that he had found his way out.

Using all his strength, Sig pushed against the wall in front of him, and with a creaking sound, it gave way to reveal a narrow opening. He squeezed through it and emerged outside the previous room. Sig could make out a set of stairs leading upwards.

Sig couldn't help but wonder if he had completed the assigned mission. Suddenly, a holographic display appeared in front of him, indicating that the mission was indeed completed. He felt a rush of relief wash over him. He had never imagined that his life would take such an unexpected turn. With hesitation, Sig climbed the stairs, troubled to discover what may lay ahead.
