Where am I?

When I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anything. Who is the one that turned off the lights in my room?

I need more time to make my eyes adjusted to this darkness. I don't know who turned off the light in my room as a joke.

But I felt like I am currently lying down on something hard, the bed was supposed to be soft and fluffy.

I try to move my hand and touch the thing that is supposed to be a bed but I found nothing soft and fluffy like before instead it is hard and strong like a rock.

What? why?

Where am I right now, I should have slept in the Hospital's room right now why am I in other places without realizing it.

While thinking and remembering the lost memory of why all of sudden I am changing places, my eyes have adjusted to the darkness and I could see some things around me little by little.

The surrounding is surrounded by walls, each side of him is full of walls. Like at the hospital hallway but the walls aren't a brick wall but something that looks like crystals with the color of dark purple.

He tries to touch the wall, the crystal wall isn't sharp but it is firm and hard to break when he tries to break it.

He walks while gripping the crystal wall with his left hand as his handle, he steps slowly and steadily.

hm, why do I feel like I am holding back my power?

He walk slowly and that make him feel he was holding back his power, usually, he uses all of his power to just try to move his legs.

Could I try to walk normally?

When he tries to walk while gripping the crystal wall, he realizes that he doesn't need to grip the wall. It is because he can feel his legs more, not like usual.

It is a different feeling because he has had it for more than 10 years. The usual thing for him has changed compared to normal people.

He tries to walk without his hand grip on the crystal wall, he can walk normally and he didn't feel any hurt in his legs.

Sometimes he does fall, but it isn't because of his legs hurting but he needs to balance himself properly. It has been more than years ago he could walk properly.

In this unknown place he decided to do rehabilitation, he knows about the rehabilitation phase but never had it before at the hospital.

It is because no matter what, even if he has done an operation his legs are never as good as he felt right now.

The doctors who operated on him told him that the operation is a hundred percent successful but they didn't know the reason he couldn't move his legs either.

So they choose him as a subject to research, the researcher is happy because they got more problems and new theories they could come into.

One of more than millions chance to happen and he got the one instead of the millions, how unlucky he was.

But right now without any medicine or a new method to make him walk, he could walk normally. Coming to this unknown place has made him be able to do walking.

He didn't know whoever carries him to this place but he is grateful for that person, because of it right now he can walk like normal people.

Can I able to run?

It is the thing he wanted to try from his deepest heart. As a child, he is enjoying running with his older sister.

He remembers those good old memories, he didn't know if he could meet with his older sister again but if he didn't give up on searching then he will meet her one day.

He could walk normally in balance and the next step is to be able to run, he wanted to leave this unknown place he is at currently.

He believes in hard work will make him succeed, and with that, he tries to run. The wind pressure from running make him fall down but only falling for few times didn't make him give up.

He runs and runs even more. From the distance about 1 meter before falling it became 2 meters, then it becomes 3 meters, 4 meters, 10 meters.

And after more than hours, he couldn't know he can run like a normal person without falling. Eventually, with some distance he takes and his already depleted stamina makes him tired.

Sweats flow from the top of his head to his face and body, it is a nice thing the current state of him is naked so his shirt isn't wet because of the sweats.

But his bottom half is uncomfortable without anything to wear, his thing was jiggling while running just now and that made him feel very uncomfortable.

He can't continue anymore with the tiredness, lying down on the ground while looking up at the above make him wonder if he could live his life inside this place or not.

No! I shouldn't think like that!

He slaps his cheeks with both of his hands, his mind wandering too much and making him dispirited, he knows that but couldn't help it because of the new environment.

I should think positively!

He thinks more positive things, it is to make him feel more that anything could happen in the future and he needs to be ready.

Right now he should focus on his run training, if he can run when dangers come to him he could run away like his older sister once said to him.

With that in mind, he sleeps fast because he is sleepy and tired at the same time. When he wakes up he feels his body has more energy compared to before.

He didn't know how long he has been sleeping but the only thing he knows is he has more energy and a good mood.

He continues to run, the only thing he could do right now. Only when he could run without falling anymore he will change his goal to try to leave this place.

As he runs in his running training, he found spring of some liquid he has never seen before. he drinks the liquid from the springs, it is a little bit bitter but his thirst is gone after drinking it.

He has found a nice place he could get as a temporary basecamp. He will make this place his living place for some time because he could get a liquid source as a drink.

After doing the cycle of waking up, running, drinking the liquid from the spring, more training, and sleeping x number of times. Now he could run without falling anymore and his stamina has increased greatly from the first time he arrived here.

He decides to check the surrounding area of the places, he drags his feet as he walks around to make him didn't forget the way to the spring. Walking with a dragging foot is hard to do but he does it anyway.

Even though he has been walking for a long time, he still can't find anything. Currently, he is tired and felt thirsty so he comes back to the spring and rests for a while before continuing his journey.

At the second search, I could feel the wind breeze through my body, the winds coming from the direction I haven't searched for.

If there is a breeze then it is close to the exit, because in a tight and closed place like a hallway there isn't any wind that could breeze except when it is close to the end of the hallway.

I have come to the right place!

When he walks to the source of the winds he felt before, he found two-person squatting down not far away in front of him. His eyes has adjusted to the darkness and he could see clearly as a daytime.

What are they doing in here while squatting down?

He thinks about how to greet the new person he will meet, even though he hasn't met them yet but he is feeling nervous already.

But, as he walks closer to the person, he could see the things they have been doing. They are having food.

It has been a long time since I eat anything.

He walks closer, the person starts to notice him. As the person turn around he could see the person isn't exactly a person.

Green skin, bald hair, two long fangs could be seen on the mouth and make the mouth couldn't be closed. With a sword in its left hand, that person is walking in his direction.

The height of the green skin person is the same as him when he is standing, his eyes could see the green skin eyes horizontally.

He got surprised by the appearance of the person, that person doesn't have a human appearance but instead other things.

He focused on the green skin person's left hand because the green skin person bring a sword to his left hand. The distance between himself and the green skin person is already near, if he turned around right now and runs away he will be stabbed for sure.

So I choose to dodge and run away after. I don't want to get stabbed and die yet.

The green skin person thrust the sword at him, he dodges the incoming attack. The view is good and large which makes one of the reasons he could dodge the attack from the green skin person.

As he dodges the attack, he turns around and starts to run away. But, he remembers when he saw them before there are two-person, only one of them has attacked him.

The other one will attack me too!

He rolls forward to evade the attack without seeing the source of the attack, he guessed that the other green skin person will swing the sword at him instead thrusting like the first one.

He could see the incoming sword from his eyes, his eyes waver and he is scared because he doesn't know if the attack hit him or not.
