*Chapter 2: Zikola*
Khaled arrived in Zikola after a long and tiring journey. The first thing he noticed was that the people of Zikola were different, they were more intelligent and more energetic. They dealt with intelligence instead of money, and intelligence was the most valuable currency in the city.
Khaled found himself forced to work to earn intelligence. He worked in the Labor Market, where people bought and sold intelligence. Khaled learned quickly, he wanted to become a part of Zikola.
In the Labor Market, Khaled met many interesting people. There was Yamna, a young woman who was selling her memories, and Jamal, a man who was buying intelligence to solve a complex problem. Khaled was fascinated by the people of Zikola, he wanted to learn more about them.
As Khaled worked, he began to understand the rules of Zikola. Intelligence was the key to everything, it was the currency, the power, and the status. The people of Zikola were obsessed with intelligence, they did everything to increase their intelligence and protect it.
Khaled knew that he had to be careful, he didn't want to lose his intelligence. He worked hard, learned quickly, and earned enough intelligence to survive in Zikola. But he knew that he couldn't stay in Zikola forever, he had to find a way to return to his world.
As Khaled looked around, he saw a beautiful girl, Aseel, she was working in a nearby stall. Khaled was immediately drawn to her, he wanted to talk to her, to know more about her. But he knew that he couldn't, not yet, not until he had enough intelligence to protect himself.
Khaled continued to work, his eyes fixed on Aseel, his heart beating with excitement. He knew that he had found something special, something that could change his life ♾️
