On Ground

Kaelan's breath caught in his throat, his mind racing to find a way out of this situation.

'I don't understand. I thought the system said this is a simulation? Like a replay of events? Then how come he's so perceptive?' Kaelan's thoughts raced in confusion; he wanted answers.

'Dragonforge, what is this? I thought you said this was just a replay of past events, that I'd be experiencing the war from the eyes of the general?'

He called out in his thoughts, but there was no response, causing him to tense up slightly as he prepared for the battle. 'I should have known something like this would happen, similar to when it called the wastelands training grounds...'

'Could it be possible this simulation is actually reality?'

'Perhaps an alternate world?'

Suddenly, something dawned on him.

'Wait... If this is actually reality, then there is a chance I could really die?'
