1 Chapter 1

I was crossing the street, my head between the pages of my old leather notebook that my mom bought two years ago. Trying to comprehend this numbers with an alphabet letter sticking to it. I was listening to some instrumental music that says 'good for studying'. I opted for this because my time to study is shorter due to my procrastination and late night gaming addiction.

I was busy understanding the different between two shits when I heard a honk. When I looked up, a speeding truck is coming my way. I stand rooted to the ground, my mind became blank. The truck was coming closer so I do what others do. I throw my paper on the side and open my arms. Welcoming death as the last option to avoid falling my first year in college.

I was thrown away, probably a few meters because of the impact. My mind became fuzzy. I heard murmurs and someone calling an ambulance. I felt people lifting me up before darkness swallowed me.

Cold.I feel like I'm inside a large fridge in it's coolest temperature. I tried to move my hands but to no avail it wasn't moving, like my energy has all been sucked up.Then suddenly I heard a robotic voice.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a vast space. Everything is white. Then a blinding light appeared out of nowhere that made me cover my eyes.

I blinked rapidly to adjust my sight.A portal was floating in front of me and then a kid suddenly strode out. He's wearing some gold chains on his neck and a school uniform.He looked like an elementary students. Probably aged 7 to 10.

"𝐘𝐨, 𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐛!", he said with matching hand-on-waist-and-fingers-pointing-at-me pose.

I looked at the riceball-shaped kid infront of me with creased brows.

"𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐫", i said while scratching my nape.

"𝐀𝐦 𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧? 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐒𝐭. 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫? 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦." I eyed the kid up and down. He doesn't looked like a saint to me. He's more like a gangster boss that shrank to being a kid.

He stared at me and grabbed something from his back. He pulled a brown clipboard and tooked out his glasses. He licked his small thumb and turn the page over.

"𝐒𝐨, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐡𝐦𝐦... 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐮𝐬. 21 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐥𝐝. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞. 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞. 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐝." He gasped and looked at me with wide eye. '𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 𝑤𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡?'

"𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲? 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐝? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞? 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐬? 𝐈𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐈'𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞" He thrown the clipboard away and walked back to the portal. He was about to stepped in when the portal dissolves into the thin air. The kid mumbled some incoherent word and fished out a phone. He dialed something and put it near his ears.

"𝐘𝐨𝐰 ! 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝. 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧." He siezed my appearance before walking further were i can never hear their conversation.

He went back after a minute or so, grumpy. He pointed me with his chubby fingers.

" 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐮𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭. 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐁𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦." He looked at me and spread his hands wide.

" 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭." A holographic keyboard and screen appeared in front of him. He typed a few things then smile at me.

I looked at him then suddenly i felt something is pulling me down. My body became heavy. My eyes closing.

"𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐨𝐤𝐢 𝐃𝐨𝐤𝐢 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦: 𝐌𝐫. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭",i heard him said before losing consciousness.
