Chapter 2 - Chapter 1 - The Initial Planting of a New Journey

Lying on the fresh grass, gazing at the beautiful blue sky, then closing my eyes, and for some reason all I could think about was peace.

This is a new journey in another world, full of mystery, and curiosity about what is happening, which I myself don't know where to start.[]

It happened so fast. Light appeared from a large overturned tanker truck, and as I approached the truck, my body felt like entering seawater.

All the journeys I've been through have been so hard, that I almost gave up because I couldn't bear this burden anymore.

Even though it sounds like I want to end my life, that will never happen just like that, because when I almost fell, thousands of hands came to embrace and support me, and that became a driving force for me to keep moving forward in life.

From all the experiences I've been through, I've learned many things, including that there will always be risks to bear for something we want to do.

But enough about that, I don't want to remember unpleasant things even though I want to tell you. But let's focus on now first.

After the unclear incident. Now I see! A strange place that is so quiet, a vast place with clear puddles of water, and there is a gate with an extraordinary size.

It can be concluded, I woke up in another place. Alone without any hustle and bustle.

What I'm stepping on feels flat and smooth, and a little cold here too, luckily I'm wearing a Hoodie and jacket.

When I looked down, it turned out I wasn't wearing footwear, yes luckily not with my clothes. This place is a bit gray, even the light here is a bit dim. But it's quite beautiful too.

The water is a bit shallow, for the cold temperature it's not too extreme for sure, but it makes my body cold even though there is no cool breeze here.

"Luckily the water is only half an inch from my feet." while hugging my cold body."Untung saja airnya hanya setengah inci dari kakiku." sambil memeluk tubuhku yang kedinginan. I've been standing here for so long, because when I want to sleep I can only lean on one of the gate pillars, yes I almost fell down but luckily I've learned to sleep leaning. Yes, that's because the water is quite cold too.

I don't know how long I've been here, this place doesn't even seem to have day and night.

I think this is a place provided for someone like me, but why me? The water here is not like water in general, because the water I'm stepping on doesn't have interactions like a puddle when we make a movement. Just silent and doesn't make you wet, but it's still cold.

I almost had a heart attack when I looked down, where it was like standing on a deep dark sea, but I'm grateful that this is just similar and luckily this is smooth and flat land, yes because this place is so flat it's more like an isolation place, there's only me and a giant gate that soars high.

"I'm a bit bored, I've even slept 4 times but it was only for a short time. I don't know why I don't feel hungry here, but do I ever remember eating in my life before? yes I don't think so, but luckily I'm not a drunkard," while leaning on one of the pillars, then crossing my arms and looking up at the slightly gray sky.

"Maybe I don't need to think about that now, because I know that I've actually been dead for a long time!"

(Yawns).

"Really a strange event." closing my eyes slowly because of sleepiness, then immediately falling asleep.

He was forcing himself to sleep while standing and leaning on one of the pillars, but his fifth sleep will be different because the time has come. A time when a place needs help from something. But what is it!

He then fell fast asleep, unexpectedly the young man's body suddenly began to fall. He was still asleep and not even aware of the cold, and for some reason something started to happen!

The water that was silent suddenly moved on its own, where the water seemed to move the body like a strong wave but in a small size.

Now his body position is moved, right under the gate, and instantly triggers something! Where a large puddle appears from the young man's body, even though he didn't make the slightest movement.

Because of that he then felt something in his mind like a dream, he remembered a bad memory when he was a child which was very sad.

On the other hand, someone seems to be chanting a mantra, his voice is not clearly heard like reading quickly without a pause.

In another place there is someone who is restless, "Come on, I beg you!" said the mysterious person, who is tinkering with the panel screen.

Suddenly there was something under the sleeping young man's body, like a magic circle that was as wide as the inside of the gate. And a Pentagon shape.

The young man doesn't seem to realize something, he seems to be drowning in his dream, where he is seeing a flashback when he was a child where there was someone who wanted to say something. But without warning the circle emitted a light from under the young man's body.

Instantly the young man's body was then moved to a place, and it seems that the person who was tinkering with the panel screen was really in a panic, "what is this, I made a mistake again!" he said while biting his thumb anxiously.

then the young man arrived at an unknown place while still asleep. The young man's body doesn't seem wet at all, his clothes seem really dry even though he has been moved through a magic portal.

A few moments later, the young man opened his eyes and woke up like someone who had just slept soundly. "Hey, I seem to have slept very comfortably today," while closing a yawn. "But, where am I now? this is a different place from the first place I slept!" looking around in confusion.

"Am I on a mattress! and why are there so many things here!"

"Wait a minute, are my clothes wet! or am I too!" groping my own body. "It doesn't seem so, ah I'm really lucky because these are the only clothes I have when I moved here," stroking my chest with relief.

Yes, it seems I woke up in another strange place again, I then stood up from where I was sitting, then stretched my body.

It's really nice because I slept quite soundly right now.

"I think my fifth sleep is quite strange too, not only sleeping soundly but I also moved to another place!"

"In my life before, I never felt what it was like to sleep soundly, because in that place I had to stay alert, yes it could be said that I slept 4 hours every day."

"Yes, no wonder my sleep is a bit half-conscious because—" before the young man continued his words, suddenly a door opened by itself without someone moving, which immediately made the young man curious and then approached the door to make sure.

Walking slowly tiptoeing towards the door, like an old thief who came out safely. Arriving in front of the door, the young man then peeked outside while hiding behind the open door earlier.

There is a long corridor that is bright but the condition is very quiet and the cold pierces the body. Even though wearing warm clothes.

"Oh my god it's so cold here, this place is so quiet it's not worth living in. But this place isn't too bad either." I said, shivering a little behind the door.

"Wait, what am I waking up in, it's like a warehouse. Let me see what room this is, there must be a room nameplate, right." Walking to see outside the room.

After going out, he then glanced around and found on the side of the door, a nameplate that read WAREHOUSE ROOM. "Oh my god it turns out I was placed in a room of useless memories here."

(sighing in disappointment).

He then walked along the large corridors and the light was so bright that it didn't make this place too scary, step by step the place became warmer as he approached a large door in front of him.

"Wait a minute! a giant door at the end of the road, yes why should I be surprised for something ordinary! Wait a minute, if in the game every time there is a big door it means fighting a boss! Am I going to fight a boss!"

(A little shocked).

"Hahh, okay let's do it, I used to be the greatest player, how could I lose, I will definitely get plot armor and be safe in the end, hahaha." Feeling proud.

Without further ado, the young man prepared to open the giant door, with the courage he had, he then placed both palms of his hands in front of the giant door, which was aimed at opening the giant door with all his might. It would be ridiculous if the giant door had a light weight.

When the young man touched the giant door, his hands felt the texture of the giant door, like a giant piece of wood and something like warmth inside.

"It seems like it's a bit warm inside, there must be someone besides me here! thankfully there are other people besides me in this place, if so let's open it." I'm grateful while being excited.

The young man then immediately opened the door with a push from his determination to try to enter, with difficulty he pushed the door, finally his efforts now bore fruit, where a small gap opened from the door with difficulty, now it began to open little by little and began to widen as he pushed the door. His eyes began to sparkle as he saw the light shining from behind the door.

As a result, curiosity became even more enthusiastic, he almost forgot to maintain the stability of his body, which made his body fall forward, yes even though it hurt at least the door was successfully opened. Even though it didn't open completely.

"Oh my god that's a mess, hmm?" standing up and then wiping his dirty clothes and he saw something in front of him. A dark place and there is a white light floating in the shape of a ball. Curious about the object, the young man approached it carefully and calmly, because he didn't know what kind of things were waiting for him right now.

Step by step he began to listen to a whisper produced from the gusts of wind, where it was like a vague message, like a message that was deliberately blown to the young man as he almost approached the strange ball that made him curious.

He kept approaching the object, even though he didn't know what he was doing right now. The closer he got to the object, strange things suddenly began to happen to him where his head began to experience dizziness slowly, the more he kept walking his head began to show a reaction like seeing a hallucination, where the ball formed an ordinary door with white light.

He almost fell because the hallucination also made him lose consciousness, but he kept walking regardless of what happened. He fell and began to crawl forward because the hallucination was getting stronger, he was getting closer to the door but it also made the hallucination even worse.

Luckily he managed to hold the door handle, but because his hallucinations were out of control, he finally opened the door with the remaining energy. When he opened the door, he received a message through telepathy which read "you are almost close." The voice was cold without emotion.

Suddenly a light appeared from inside the door then, "what's happening—" before he half said a word, he suddenly fainted instantly and the door shone brightly then!

A teleportation then occurred.

Now the young man moved to another place, a place in a room that was so mysterious. Unfortunately he was still unconscious from his fainting, but for some reason the room was not only him, like something inside was watching from behind the shadows.

What will happen to him, why is he experiencing things like that, is this a time travel given to him or, is this just the beginning of a destiny that has been planned by someone? But why?
