1 This is not me

These bugs appear everywhere, at this rate I'll run out of swords before I get to the final boss.

In a spacious room, a young man was sitting in a comfortable armchair while he was concentrating on the big TV on the wall, needless to say, he is playing a video game and seems to be in an important moment.

He entered a ruined castle killing a bunch of humanoid monsters and strange machines with laser technology.

This young man is Har Davius, a lover of video games and a geek in general, his room is full of posters and anime figures and the like, he lives carefree thanks to being from a wealthy family, yet he understands the value of money and he's not snooty or anything like that, he's actually quite sociable, although he hasn't made any real friends.

Knock Knock*

Someone knocked on his door, but before saying a word that person entered without permission, Har seemed used to it and didn't give it much importance.

"Hey, Dad's coming soon, we're going to the DK concert after dinner, don't you plan on going?"

Who entered was his older brother, Ander, accompanied by his middle sister, Hannah, they are 22 and 20 years old respectively.

"I have more important things here."

Har replied without taking his eyes off the big screen, he had reached the top of the castle and found a strange purple and sticky chrysalis attached to the ceiling.

"Hahaha, if they gave me a dollar for every time I got that answer, my room would already be full."

"Not that a video game was so important, it's the first time that DK comes to this country, it's a historic day."

Both brothers answered and left the room without saying much, Har just continued playing without worries, if he wants to listen to DK singing it's as easy as searching the internet, why should he leave home for that?

"The attack pattern is really easy to follow, this final boss is rubbish."

Fighting the boss monster that had emerged from the strange chrysalis, Har complained that the difficulty was too low and finishing would be too easy.

Knock Knock*

"Dinner is ready, come down to eat with us."

A sweet voice was heard from the door, this was his mother, Ruth, but Har was focused.

"I'll be down in a few minutes, start without me."

Young Har said not wanting to interrupt their fight now.

After dodging and attacking for a couple of minutes, the final boss transformed and was defeated by him, even though the boss turned into a huge beast and he would lose if he faced it directly, the true power appeared, the princess bestowed on him too powerful a bow and finished off the beast after a few shots, Har seemed disgusted by this, this final fight would be very difficult if the princess did not make an appearance, but it felt strange.

He thought that all his efforts had been wasted, the final boss could be faced from minute one of the game, the power of the bow would remain the same and it would end with a few shots.

"This wasn't challenging at all, even low level boss monsters were more challenging than this guy."

Har dropped the controller as he watched the final boss explode and disappear, however.

Whoooooom*

At that moment, something strange happened, a light shone from the window enveloping the entire room, it was only for a second and Har, who was watching the final scene of the video game, unconsciously thought that it was the light from his father's car that had arrived.

But his attention was focused on the television which for some reason stayed on a black screen.

"What's wrong with this?"

Har angrily got up from the chair, walked over to the big screen and realized that it was still on, but for some reason there was no signal from the video game.

"Is something wrong with that?"

Har thought it must be a console problem, so he opened a space under the screen where he stored it to check, only to find the space empty.

"What the hell?"

The young man was incredulous, how did this suddenly disappear? He was playing a moment ago and it turns out that he is no longer there.

Not only that, when he turned his head he noticed something else strange, the posters and franchise figures that he had in his room had also disappeared without a trace, the young man's face was filled with shock and he could not conclude what was happening. here.

A light shone in the window again, but this time it was much dimmer, it seemed that his father was leaving and Har didn't even think about it, he had a real business here.

Bam!* Bam!* Bam!* Grrrw*

At that moment, strange and terrifying sounds were heard somewhere in his house, because of this he thought it must be some kind of prank, but it didn't end here.

"Ah-Aaaaaah!!"

A terrified scream was heard throughout the house, Har's brain seemed like a computer that receives too much information and crashes, he didn't know how to react, but the scream resonated inside him and he seemed to react in a moment.

"Mother?"

Har's eyes flashed with concern in an instant, he immediately abandoned all previous thoughts and ran downstairs to check on his mother's condition.

"Grwaaah!!"

"Grrwwa!!"

"ahhhhh!!"

"Help, someone help me!!"

Sounds of wailing were heard again, not only his mother, but also the voices of his brothers, even the screams of neighbors and passers-by could be heard in the distance.

Har began to tremble with fear, but he still went downstairs slowly gathering what little courage he had left.

"A nightmare, this must be a nightmare..."

Har said to himself, as he went down the stairs, upon reaching the floor below and seeing the situation he was shocked, he immediately lost all strength and fell to his knees with an expression full of shock, fear and sadness.

Small green beasts resembling goblins in video games appeared here, playing with the bodies of his mother and sister while laughing with vicious expressions.

Blood filled the entire floor, there were the jaws of the women he had grown up seeing, not only that, the body of his older brother had been decapitated and stabbed through the heart with a kitchen knife.

Up ahead was the body of his father, lying on the ground without the strength to make a sound while the green beasts beat his body mercilessly.

Looking at this tragic scene that he never imagined, tears welled up in Har's eyes as he screamed in his mind repeatedly.

'Nightmare, this is a nightmare...'

"Grww?"

At that moment, the dozens of green goblin-like creatures turned to see him in sequence, Har had completely fallen for his own lies and believed that this was undoubtedly a nightmare, there is no way for this type of creature to appear in the world. there's really no way...

"Grwwwaaah!!

The green creatures marked him as their target, immediately stopping what they were doing and running towards him.

Before they got there a trail of blood had already fallen to the ground under Har, he clenched his fists to wake up from this crazy dream, his nails dug into his palms making his hands bleed, but still he didn't wake up. .

'This is not a dream..'

Feeling this pain, Har lost the last hope.

"Agh!"

In an instant, his body was filled with stabs and all kinds of blows, the green creatures had no mercy and struck him while laughing.

Har glared at these creatures filled with unprecedented hatred, given the chance he would surely kill each and every one of them.

He slowly lost consciousness, then died with no chance of being saved no matter what medical science was used.

On this day, strange portals appeared all over the world, this situation could be seen everywhere, and the beasts were mercilessly committing murder.

...

"Huh?"

In a place of boundless darkness, Har regained a little awareness of him as if he woke up from a long sleep.

"..."

"nk..."

"..your eyes"

Har could hear a voice trying to wake him up, but he was very confused with his own thoughts.

"I'm not dead?"

Har was very confused, a light began to shine filling everything with a pure white, he thought for a moment what had happened and suddenly agitated.

"Damn goblins!!"

Har's eyes widened and he stood up suddenly, clenching his fists as tears welled up in his angry eyes, he was prepared to mercilessly pummel those little green creatures, however.

"Where I am?"

Har was stunned, there was no one around him and everything was very strange, it was a strange room with a style that he had never encountered before, despite that it was familiar to him, as if he had seen it before.

Looking at the place where he was, he realized that it was not a bed, it was some kind of strange altar in the same style as the whole room, on it was a strange thing in the shape of a flower that blinked and exuded an aura of technology .

"Was I captured by those guys? You fucking bastards, I swear I'll kill them all."

Har said coming out of the strange altar, the whole place was filled with mist, despite that he could see the edges of the room that were flickering with red light, just like the altar, it is filled with an air of unknown technology.

"Were they trying to offer me to the devil or something?"

Har was very confused, he looked at his body looking for the injuries caused before losing consciousness, but there was nothing, his body was in perfect condition, in fact, it was even better than before.

The excess fat had disappeared, this body is worthy of being on par with the famous models he knows, however, something caught his attention.

"Wha-what is this hair?"

Har said noticing two strands falling to the sides of his head, the hair is not only longer than his, this isn't even his hair color, the original black was replaced by a bright blonde.

"This, this is not me!"

Har said panicking, he immediately had the urge to see his appearance and looked around for something to see himself, however, as if reacting to his thoughts something appeared out of nowhere, it was a holographic screen as if it were a videogame.

"What kind of technology is this?"

Har wondered in disbelief in wonder at the holographic screen, but looking closely it seems he had seen its contents before, there is a blond boy with blue eyes standing proudly.

"This is...Link?"

That's right, on the holographic screen you could see the video game character he was playing before the tragedy, he hadn't noticed before, but three holographic hearts appeared in the corner of his field of vision, thinking about this, he suddenly turned around and looked the room.

"Isn't this...the temple of the resurrection?"

Har was stunned, he looked at a door ahead and something confirmed his conjectures, it was a strange and small altar with a similar style to everything else.

He approached with slow steps, there's only one way to really know what's going on now.

[Press A to browse]

"...?"

This appeared in front of him when he got close enough, Har was getting more and more confused and his brain couldn't react correctly.

"Press A?"

Har said unconsciously trying to think of the way to do it, where should I press it? However, the strange altar seemed to react.

It shone with blue light and activated an unknown mechanism, in a second it turned and a strange thing emerged from the center, before Har could react a voice resounded in his head.

"This is the Sheikah tablet, take it, it will guide you after your long slumber."

The voice was sweet and majestic, like a merciful goddess taking care of him from beyond.

"Me, did I really travel to this game?"
