On a park bench shrouded by darkness, an unknown figure glances through pieces of parchment of a long forgotten manuscript, he has a confused expression and he his grumbling quietly at his lack of understanding.
The unknown figure was looking at codes in the parchment, he was looking for a pattern or anything that would help him solve the mysterious code but there was nothing that could help. The code looked outer worldly and everytime he thought he had found the pattern, the code changed again.
The unknown figure had undergone training in the military about the different types of codes like: Morse codes, the military alphabet such as the codes of communication, the code of conduct and other strange codes were also learned during his service.
So the unknown figure had always walked around with a cipher, partly because of habit and also partly because unscrambling a code could save lives.
He entered a string of symbols that were found in both the manuscript and the cipher but he could neither get an answer nor hint from what he unscrambled, what the cipher unscrambled was just plain gibberish.
After that he considered giving up and throwing the mysterious parchment away but he then remembered that not all pieces of a code could be seen with the naked eyes so he brought out an infrared light from his bag and also checked inside his bag for another light or lamp he could use to unscramble codes like VSC, Polarized light and so on but he could not find any. The unknown figure heaved a sigh half hoping the code would be unscrambled and he would be done with the parchment.
When the light shone on the parchment, the symbols written in black in the brown parchment changed to blue surprised and elated the unknown figure started typing the new symbols into his cipher but before he could do that his eyes shone red on the blue symbols and the blue symbols began to whirl continuously.
The unknown figure tried to stay alert to watch the process but the whirl continued more vigorously and it seemed it would never stop so he succumbed to the dizziness making him half awake and asleep and because of that when he was compelled to say something by the new symbols that were formed from the blue ones he couldn't remember what he said.
The unknown figure succumbed to sleep after he was compelled to say something by the newly formed symbols and slept awkwardly on the park bench, a few hours passed and a pair of policemen pulled up to his side throwing him on the floor.
He woke up startled and started checking his body vigorously for something, saying:
"What happened?"
"How... When did I sleep off?"
"Hope all my things are accounted for?"
Shooting a glance to where the file holder holding the parchment was he said:
"It's gone."
"That strange book is gone."
The unknown figure didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about knowing the parchment had disappeared but he knew one thing he was extremely glad the parchment was gone.
He unknowingly started jubilating buy raising his hands up and awkwardly dancing up to the point that he mistakenly hit the policeman beside him with his body.
The unknown figure had a shiver run his spine has the policemen looked at him with a look of disdain but was surprisingly courteous as he asked in mandarin:
"Do you have a home, sir?"
Under other circumstances the unknown figure would have replied no and that would be true because a home was a place where a family lived and the unknown figure was alone in his house but he was on the verge of being arrested so he replied yes and said in mandarin:
"I just came to visit the inn across the street from there."
"I woke up early and was preparing to fly back to my home when I unknowingly slept off on the bench."
The policeman beside him said:
"We are going to need to see some ID. To verify your story."
The unknown figure said:
"Yes, of course"
As he started rummaging through his things trying to find his passport and his plane ticket. He found it and showed the policeman half grateful his things were not stolen and that it was only the pieces of parchment that had mysteriously vanished.
The policeman said
"We are going to let you off with a warning this time, please make sure to check your surroundings very well before you sleep and find a secure place to do that."
The unknown figure replied saying:
"Thank you officers."
With that the officers left him and proceeded to their police car, the unknown figure arranged his things and prepared to board a taxi to the airport.
He got there exactly 12:00PM, an hour more and his plane would have left. He couldn't help feeling that he was extremely lucky today from the vanishing parchment to sleeping and nothing was taken from him to talking with the police and they let him off even though they looked angry and now he got to the airport exactly the time his plane was leaving.
He entered the plane after doing the necessary things like checking his passport and ticket, dropping his luggage in the luggage bay provided by the airplane and so on.
He turned off his phone and tried to relax but he couldn't it seemed there was something, scratching his head and that thing was gradually making him mad, he thought it was a mild migraine but when he arrived at the airplane it was growing nonstop.
He opened his eyes and thought about what to do, he then concluded that drinking water would be nice but before he could ask for water from the stewardess, he saw something strange in his corner view.
He tried looking at it with his eyes but he soon found out that he could only see it if he thought about it so he thought about it and he saw the following notifications.
[Congratulations you have learnt low level system language]
[You can check your status.]
[Most of your skills and attributes are unknown because you are unknown.]
The unknown figure was confused rather than terrified because he noticed after a long time of seeing the voice in his head it was now it seemed as if the voice was just in his head like a mode of communication where you form words in your head to speak, so it seemed all the voices that he had been hearing had just been his body telling him about his status, so he decided to think about the word "status".

The unknown figure gasped and swallowed slowly as he stared at the transparent screen.
