"All levels and stages that we play must be taken seriously because this game is no child's play."
"Call and find them!"
We heard a shout, not far from where we are sitting now. It seems to be Ninezen's voice if I'm not mistaken. Confounded, First and I got up and returned to the tent after a short decent talk that we had.
"First, Second, you're here. We've been looking for you." Fifth called out to us.
"Why, what's up?" I questioned him because he looked concerned. I observed our surroundings. There's nothing out of the ordinary or any creature here.
"Third saw a white building over there. Call the others and we'll go there." He announced.
We immediately left the tent and ran to the professed white building that Third had seen. After a few minutes, we're here. A white building with 2-stories in height was exposed to us. There are no windows. We went around to find an entrance door.
"There!" Ninezen pointed out.
We turned around and saw the single door that was gray and made of steel. It opened on its own as if we were being let in. We wasted no more time and went inside. When we entered, the door closed automatically.
LOCATION: Inside the unknown infrastructure TIME: Morning
Everyone was amazed when we entered. It's as cold as if there is air conditioning that cools the area, and it is spacious. The walls are all white and the floor is translucent blue in crystal material. The interior is round and has holograms on the side. There are 12 transparent glass room cubicles forming a big circle. There is a glass tube-looking thing lying inside each room. I wonder what that stuff are for.
*bell rings*
"Greetings everyone, welcome to Health Level: Stage 1!" Author's warm greetings to us. We searched for its hologram, but it was not anywhere inside this building.
"Only my voice that you're about to hear." That quickly answered my question. "Now, the battle 12, please proceed to your respective area and take your seats," Author commands us.
"What are we going to do there?" Ninth asked with his arms crossed.
"Please proceed and sit inside," Author insisted.
We did nothing but followed Author's order. I saw a number at the top of the glass rooms, so I entered the one with the number 02 on it, which is my number name. Some of us are still skeptical but we won't know what will happen if we don't try. I sat on the soft and comfortable chair. The small glass room door closed automatically. I sat on a chair it provided. The backrest suddenly receded so I was slightly lying down. I felt my hands and feet bound, so I twitched for a moment, but resisting did nothing to me. Something blocked my whole face like a helmet. I am now completely lying down when the transformed chair into bed went inside the glass tube. Moments later, while I'm inside the glass tube with a helmet-like thing on my head, something emitted white smoke. I don't know if it's supposed to be dangerous smoke or not. I held my breath, but it only made me feel worse.
Abruptly, I heard a robot speaking—it wasn't Author.
"Activating ... 30%... 45%... 56%..." Activating what? "71%... 89%... 98%... 100% complete."
I see hologram texts and pictures that I can't understand because the picture looks all black and blue. When whatever it got activated, my surroundings became dark contradicting the color of the walls which is white. I can't comprehend all of these. The cold that I felt made me sweat with fear and nervousness. This feeling outruns me again. We have no idea what is about to happen, so this is normal to feel like this. My eyelids weighed down. I closed my eyes.
"Congratulations to all junior high completers"
"Let's take a picture!"
"Why aren't you smiling? Stop being a killjoy"
W-What are these?! I see figures of people who seem to be talking to me, but I only see their bodies with blurry heads and faces. There is a light shine hindering their faces. Even though I tried to look at their faces, I still couldn't.
"We're finally done with this school year."
"We're done with acads but you looked like you still haven't slept, Heavien. Hahaha!"
"Let's do arcade first!"
I do not understand from whom do these random voices come. Why do I hear this but can't see the faces of those people? Who and what are they to me?!
I am getting dizzy. I really want my memory to come back but I hope not in this way. My brain could no longer absorb what I gained.
"Letting you go is the last thing I would do"
"Whaaaa!" I screamed out loud.
I opened my eyes, at the same time helmet-like thing that covered my face opened. The backrest leaned forward, and I sat down. I was waiting for the shackles on my hands and feet to loosen when I felt pain in my nape. I writhe in pain. It was so painful that it felt like pressing my skin with an iron heated over a blazing fire. I was sweating and my heart was beating so fast.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I could no longer feel a pressing hot iron on it. A miracle that the pain is also gradually disappearing. I also felt the grip on my hands and feet loosen. I rubbed my forehead as I sweat coldly. I closed my eyes and cried because of the memories that came back to me. My emotions are overflowing. I lifted my sleeve, touched it, and looked at my right arm but my tattoo is now gone. I rubbed my nape and I felt something embossed on it. I tried to figure out what it was... letter H. I already know why it happened like this. I closed my eyes because of the truth I found out, the things I discovered, the events I did not expect that happened. When my emotions recovered, I opened my eyes. I already know who I am ...
I am Heavien Cyre Luvitos.
