1 I am in another World?.

I suddenly felt a cold splash in my face, I wake up and open my eyes, I looked around and found me looking some kind of ancient ruins as the Greek as.

What's going on? What I am doing here? I thought.

I stand up, my body was soaked in some kind of viscous blue fluid and smell like mint. I looked at my feet and I noticed that I was in some kind of big broken tub.

it's a depression in the earth like a natural pool. I thought.

I try to clean my face a little but it didn't work well because my hands were also smeared with the liquid as well as my clothes, I looked around and saw another dozen of those strange tubs, some were broken too and they had the strange liquid with odor to mint.

- Hello! there someone here. I said aloud. Only silence answered.

- HELLO!. This time I yell. Who answered me this time was the echo of my own voice.

Only after the scream was it occurred to me that it was not the best idea. Why I'm here? this is a kidnapping? but if my family does not have money like the wealthy families, of course with the last waves of violence the criminal groups are doing what they want, if only the government did not have so much corruption it would not be so weak to protect the citizens. I thought.

-The place does not look very clear at my view. I whispered to myself.

- I am dreaming? Certainly I'm a little sleepy right now. I pintched my arm to see.

- it hurts.

- no I am not in a dream, where am i?.

- Let's remember I was in my bedroom i was practicing with the guitar training application I get tired and lie down in my bed immersing in the feeling of the training. I close my eyes and !voilà! I am here.

- the hell that is not useful at all.

I started to walk.

The whole place is surrounded by a translucent haze I looked the structures there were a lot big marble pilars, they were white, but didn't look old, some were broken, the ceiling was ten meters above were plain, I kept walking . There was no sound other than my footsteps that echoed as I walked.

- maybe it's for the strange situation that I'm but until now I notice but where do the light come from? This is looking like a closed space without a distinguished source of light in my view. I said myself.

There was no electric light or sunlight anywhere but it was not dark.

- Let's try get out of here, I why this place it's so desolated.

While I was walking look to my shoes there some kind of dust, and I found something strange with it, I taked a little of it in my hands and approached it to my face for a close examination, this white dust is composed by some kind of fine crystal.

- it is shining?

-If I view it from a certain angle the dust shine, but for another it doesn't.

I smelled the dust a little which made me sneeze.

- this dust doesn't have smell either. Maybe this dust is the source of light?

- This is interesting. I thought. And reflexively I put a handful in my pocket.

I continue my "exploration" a word that pops out from my mind maybe it's because all this situation remember me the rol games an light novels that I played an read. I puts aside this though and continue the "exploration".

- this place surely it's big I kept walking for nearly 30 minutes and I don't have found the exit. The only thing I see are pillars, broken pillars, pieces of broken marbles every where, the ceiling, the floor, the haze and tons of strange dust, tons and tons of dust everywhere, some places are more dust than others.

- my shoes are white and shine when I move them this way. I said while looking at my shoes and thinking in a image of a dancer with white shining shoes.

-I am starting to get tired.

Suddenly i fell in a deep hole coverted by the dust and i put my hand to protect my head, i felt like a electric current pass trougth my arm, and a sharp pain.

- SON OF A BI..., I cursed.

I looked at my arm, my arm was red, I had only made a few scratches on my hand, wrist and elbow.

I examined my self and found that I had a small sprain on my right wrist and feel my arm numb.

-I must have hit my nerve when I fell. This gonna a leave a brush later.

I moved my arm slowly and open and close my hand several times and wait to recover the sensibility.

I tried to clean a little the dust and notice that the remains of the strange liquid get mixed with the strange dust, my clothes where all covered.

That reminded me of when I was a child and of trying to sneak milk powder from the shelf, the can felt on my head and everything was covered in white and i looked like a ghost, and I taked a good scolding from my mother later. Remembering this I let out a little laugh. And started to think in my family, what are doing my old mother and brother.

Being in that melancholy mode I noticed that there were pieces of broken marble where I had fallen and between them there was a piece that had a pointed shape like a knife that was pointed upwards, I thought that if I had fallen closer to that I could have left seriously hurt. I thanked God for that didn't happen.

I had not noticed before but the broken pieces of marble have tiny letters that I did not recognize inscribed inside.

- it could be that all the pillars that I had seen, were inscribed?. I thought.

Among the broken pieces of marble were some that were rounded, i taked one of them and put them in the palm of my hand for a close inspection, that piece of marble had these strange letters too to the touch some looked polished others had pointed vertices, they were quite solid and weighed.

- This is interesting.

In a whim I taked three of these round stones whose letters caught my attention and put them in the left pocket of my pants and take another that had vertices when I put it in my pocket of my left pocket too , the Stone marble with vertices made me uncomfortable because I felt that I was being puncioned, I thought in that moment about getting it away but I put my hand in my right pocket and I felt the strange dust that I recollected before. I have an inspiration if I put more dust in my pocket it could work like a cushion and could I avoid being punctured by the stone?, I did it and it worked.

I put the marble that looked like a knife on my back adjusting it with my belt.

I looked around, this fall made me realize that I had not been careful enough and I had not been as alert as I thought. I observed this time more carefully the terrain I was in, the fact that there were broken pillars all over the place, the uneven floor in some places and the fissures that formed a certain pattern like the explosions, I noticed too that for be an abandoned place as it should be a ruin, it don't had vegetation or insects, in fact the place would look incredibly clean if it were not for the dust that seems to be all over the place, the strange liquid that covered me and the broken pillars.

- The ruins always have plants or vines, is not it? What exactly is this place, a ruin, a temple, a hospital?.

I really do not know why the word hospital went through my mind maybe because this place had a familiar aura to hospital, there was a smell in addition to the mint smell of the strange liquid that covered me there was also a smell of chlorine and ozone.

This time a walked more carefully and found around another ten pits.

I was really lucky when I was walking not to have fallen in any of these, apparently they are all over the place as if rain of meteors had covered the place.

My resolution to be more careful got good results, a broken leg in this place would not be anything nice. I thought.

-What's that?. In the distance I watch a distinguishable light.

When I get close to the light I finally found the exit o maybe I should be the entrance? Because I found a gate like a portal made of marble that has nothing to envy to gates described in Tolkien or in role-playing games.

-it's so big, whats going with these strange symbols. I noticed strange letters that shone moved through the gate frame.

The entrance was open but there was something revolting like a silver liquid inside that reflected my image.

I stretched my arm to touch the gate frame but felt that it radiated heat so I thought better and I did not.

Well, if it's a door it can be open or closed but it is secure?. I thought

I stretched my arm again to the silver gate and felt that it radiated a cold sensation, so instead I decided to get away a little and throw one of the marble stones I had in my pocket, the stone passed through the silver liquid as if it passed through air, without sound, without splashing.

I throw two others and the same thing happened, then after looking at the door for a while and gathering my courage I stretched my hand and touched the liquid surface that was cold, then stretch a little more and my arm went through it without any resistance, on the other side I could felt a current of air.

-Fortunately it's open. I answered the question that I had asked myself.

I walk through it and in the moment I pass I found me in...

- A cave? .

I turn to see the gate and find that it is no longer there and what I see is the cave wall, I touched it and it was pretty solid.

Ok this is getting more strange. It's good that I can see the exit.

When i got out of the cave the first thing I saw was trees, a lot of trees , but the amazing of this situation is not that i am in a forest or a jungle, the thing is that the trees are really huge at least they are 300 meters long.

If my memory doesn't fail me the Hyperion, the tree the tallest tree on the planet is around 115 meters and General Sherman have like 30 meters of perimeter. And these things are certainly bigger and they are not any kind of sequoia. I thought.

- So ... I am in another world?. I get shocked.

A lot of thoughts passed through my mind....

-This can not be real. I noticed my fast breath and the sweat in my front.

- This is not a dream, another world seriously?, it is any kind of joke, I went crazy? A illusion?.

- It's like the web novels I used to read? it's virtual reality, reincarnation, I died? or something more?. What about my family. They not noticed that I disappeared?

The pain in my arm turned me back to my senses, I looked and I was squeezing my fists tightly, the pain was real, my bruised arm felt real, my breathing felt real, my sweat felt real, my sensations felt real and as such I had to treat the things that I felt as real, and immediately I began to think about other vital possibilities.

-What I am going to eat, what I am going to drink, where I'm to rest. I noticed that I started to feel thirsty.

-If a am in a forest there are animals, if the trees are so big then the animals too. If this is another world what kind of creatures can exist.

-If there were normal animals that could be dangerous too, how I am going to protect me?. I said to myself.

I started to get fearful, shivers felt since my back until my head, this is dangerous. These were my thoughts.

The forest started to show a oppressive aura in my view.

- I must find civilization. There should be civilization, right?.
