It was 9:50 in the morning on Saturday. I sat up on the bed and yawned. I sat there for a couple of minutes taking a breather, and then sat up and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change in order to head outside. I then went to the kitchen to prepare my breakfast. I opened the fridge, only to find it empty.
"That's weird, I could've sworn it was full yesterday" I mumbled to myself
"Whatever..." I closed the fridge.
Due to the fridge being tiny, I had to squat each time I used it. As I stood up, I realized the room turned blue, as if someone used a disco light. When I turned around to inspect the object emitting this light, I saw a blue shining cube. I slowly approached the cube scanning it with my very eyes, trying to understand how this object could float. It looked like it measured 27cm cubed. When I reached it, I took a hold of it, and it stopped emitting light. The cube was black, with blue spots on each of its faces, but when I looked closer at the spots, I saw a name written in blue..."Zaretno" I then instinctively rubbed on the spot where the name was, and after blinking, I was suddenly transported to a void of a world. I then heard a voice:
"You can ask any questions, for I know all! However, the limit is 3! What do you wish to know?" said the strange voice.
"A-alright...this is odd...Who are you? You sound like a genie for questions...where am I? And...yeah! Also, what is Zaretno?" I asked while stuttering with confusion.
the voice sighed and said "You do not hold back, do you? I am Zenos, more specifically, AB1AZ, built by your parents in order to guide you. Zaretno is the cube used by the chosen ones in order to travel the different worlds. The world you were in is called "Earth", deemed here as the illusionary world, and this world is the void and the vessel that leads to the real world, Aristar! There are many chosen ones other than you, and the chosen ones are all immortal! You are the 21st chosen one! I welcome you to our world!"
"No, I must be dreaming...this can't be...chosen one? I'm just an average person, how could I be chosen?! Also, parents?! They died a long time ago!"
"Accept the truth, Sam"
"How do you know my name?!"
"You're out of questions, you are not allowed to ask anymore."
"you're so unfair"
As I blinked again, I was transported to somewhere else. A beige world, with a more detailed and layered smell. The sky was blue, but the ground was beige, and so were the trees. It resembled a grassland, but instead of green, the color beige was there instead.
"Wow! I want to explore!"
"Not so fast!" Said Zenos as he put his hand on my shoulder.
"We must train in order to help your parents in the war. In this world, we created various rules, and one of them was that creating a nation is prohibited. But the 19th decided to break that rule and made a nation of hypnotized people. Your parents, the 17th and the 18th decided to form a group that opposes this regime. They currently have 10 members; The 7th, the 8th, the 9th up to the 16th. The inhabitants don't wish to join the group, because they feel they are too weak, and the 6th and lower were all hypnotized."
"So much plot is going on, I'm getting a little bit dizzy here." I complained.
"Breaking the fourth wall is against the rules!"
"Sorry!"
