《Chapter#2:The Real World》

  A boy with nothing special moderate physic was laying on a bed made crudely out of oak like wood. His hair is wavy and deep black. If looked carefully the thing can be known that at some point in past his skin was fair but by passing time it got tanned and looks browny white now. His height was average. Face was by modern beauty standards can be called diamond shape. There is a calm composer that can be seen in his closed eyes. Like it had seen and analysed many things despite the young age. He was wearing a plain T-shirt of blue colour and normal trousers. He was of average height.

  Next to him in another bed there is a boy who has a slim figure,;curly and dry blond hair which can be called the harvest of carelessness; pair of eyes with deep dark circles, can be called byproduct of sleepless nights; he was wearing silver rimmed spectacles and pair of shirt and pant that can be called formal. His height was slightly above average. He was quite handsome despite the lack of beauty care. His face shape was perfectly oval. There can be seen the shadow of sharp intellect on his face.

  There was another bed in the room where a boy that can be called slightly over weight but not too much, wearing a t-shirt with various cartoons on it and a pant. His hair was dyed pink. He is average in height and his face shape is kind of round. Skin tone is fair.

  ...

  {RUSTLE RUSTLE}

  Rustling of wind can be heard. It is like a natural melody singing with excellent symphony.

  (My body feeling light. My lungs are also feeling better. How beautiful peaceful it is). Kai slowly opened his eyes. First thing he saw was various strange creature looking like bugs were floating in the air. He can't tell whether this bugs were emmiting light or devouring it. Being surprised he waved his hand defensively to get rid of this strange creature that were floating near him. He sat up on the bed.(Where is others?). He hurriedly looked for his friends. He found them right beside him. He started examining if they were breathing or not.

  "They are just merely unconscious. They are healthy nothing happened to them",Someone said hoarsely.

  I imidiatly looked in the direction of the source of speech. I saw a middle aged man with long gray hair and mini beard was standing in the middle of the room. His figure was eyetaking. He was tall, he had muscles with great density, his skintone was bright, his skin was so smooth looking that it can make celebrities conscious of their lackings.

  " Who are you? Where are we? What happened to us? We were in the pond just a moment ago than.....",I asked and can't remember someparts

  " Don't worry you are safe now. But I don't know if the sentence is valid here. And I am just an old man none special", Said the old man

  "Where are we than? On the other side of forest mountain?",asked Kai.

  "No, it's the real world", said the old man.

  "Real world? I know it's real and I am not dreaming. I already checked it that I am awake", said Kai.

  "What you were living at was just merely under realm",said the old man with a heavy tone.

  "What? I can't reason with what you are talking about",said Kai.

  "Don't bd hard on yourself. Take rest. Let other wake up. Than we can talk and I can explain to you. Till then take rest properly.

  The old man left the small room. At first I thought maybe we got kidnapped but we are not locked and there was open space outside of this room. I thought it could be a prank but that was not the case either.

  I looked around.( It is a house sort of made out of clay. There is a table where various books are laying there. There was an animal hide lantern to lit up the room. There is various symbols on the wall. I think they are just decoration. But they are kind of strange. Looking at them I feel kind of drowsiness). I slowly got out of the room.

  Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

  ...

  The scene I saw outside of the room was indescribable from my point of view. The view was something that I could never had dreamed of in my life till now. The world looked like a different planet to me. There were mountains but they had faces. Although their eyes are closed but I can definitely see the structure of their face. The sky was like an oil painting made by an unique artstyle. The revers were like purest crystals that got melted. There we various light emmiting bug like creatures floating here and there. I can see some strange looking birds who had multiple organisms . I saw a strange type of bird whose skin was like peeled of but his wings and feathers were floating around him. It was simply but not simply bizarre. There were various strange creatures that I had never seen were running on the distant ground too. They looked like dinosaurs with different types of organisms. There were seven moons on the sky.

  "What is this I am seeing. It can't be earth. It even has seven moons!!!",Kai exclaimed.

  " Not It. Only this place. There are different moons and different numbers in different places",said the old man who was standing beside since when I can't tell.

  "This really isn't earth. Did we died? Is this heaven or hell?",asked Kai with mixed emotions.

  "Heaven? Haha no it never was. About being hell , I don't know different individuals have different opinions", the old man held his remark.

  I didn't ask anything else.

  ...

  I waited patiently. Around 2 hours later Stan and Bota woke up. I explained to them what I knew.

  " Where is my system dashboard where I can see my op skills? Why there no system window popping out infront of my face eventhough I am trying?",said Bota with surprising looks.

  "You idiot!. It's not somekind of fantasy or novel that there will be op powers for reincarnations or transmigrators. It's reality. We are stuck in an unknown place. And an old man claiming it to be the real world", said Stan with a hint of despair.

  "I brought you guys food. It properly. I don't know about your diet so I brought some all edible fruits. They are tasty trust me". The old man handed over a basket full of strongly shaped fruits with a gentle smile on his face.

  This fruits were really strange some looked like water droplets, some looked like strange faces, some were even humanoid shaped. We had some doubt. We thought it can be poisonous but if the old man wanted to harm us he could do it pretty easily while we were asleep. And also in this strange place none can even save us so thinking too much is useless. We took our first bite with hasitation.

  (What is this???. Is this sort of taste even exist?. It was strange sweet sour at the same time a little tangy, the inner structure was mushy but chewy at the same time. It was an experience worth atleast a few hundred thousands if not millions. We dug into the fruits and ate our feel.

  "Oh I am so full I never ate so much greedily" Stan said with a bloated belly.

  "It was amazing!!!", said Bota.

  I also nodded showing agreement. There was a hint of Satisfaction on our faces. But now is the time we need to know about this place.

  ...

  We slowly approached the old man. We sat a little near the old man who was sitting beside a strange looking fire which was (Black???). We never saw this type of fire before.

  "The world you are from is called the under realm".

  The old man started talking. We started listening to him attentively.

  "It's not some different universe or reality like you saw in novels. It's basically the real world and your world is just a tiny peace of land inside it separated by just a little space between them which you guys also call space". We become utterly shocked by the old man's remark. We started frowning uncontrollably at eachother.

  " But we didn't go to space. Also why didn't any astronauts find out about it?. Why there is not even a single theory about this?",asked Stan with great doubts.

  "Hehe I see you lads got a lots of questions for this old man. Simply speaking space between real world and under realm has the concept of infinity so you guys can't escape it. Secondly lower human beings can't even comprehend to make theories like this. Even if someone made a theory like this in some point of time it would get simply banished by top dogs",said the old man with very calm composer.

  " Than how we came here?", I asked without showing my inner emotions.

  "Two places are separated by a barrier. And the barrier has some places where it resonates with real world. The pond you guys encountered was such a place".said the old man.

  " Can you send us back to our home?", Bota asked with hope.

  "Even if I send you back the top dogs will imidiatly banish you from reality", the old man replied with a silent gaze.

  A hint of despair descended on our faces.

  {Shrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeweeweeeweeeweweeweewewek}

  An indescribably different shriek came from somewhere distant. Every single hair on our skin got straight up. Our body started trembling. We can't help but constantly sweating. We almost wet our pants. We felt like agent of death has come to take us personally.

  We looked back to the old man. He simply replied with a gentle smile.

  "As I said it's no heaven. We are not 100 percent safe anywhere", said the old man with calmness like it was nothing."It won't be that bad. Stay in this room. Don't go out until the room falls.

  We nodded more than one time.

  "Remember one thing specially. If you start hearing some type of chanting or any letter like symbols or ruins sipping out of the window in the room", the old man paused.

  Than said,"Close your eyes,close your ears,make yourself as composed as possible and don't make any movements or sound. Other wise you will burst into countless pieces. Even the possibility of happening something worst than dead is there", The old man said with a shimmering amount of darkness in his past radiant eyes.

  We gulped our saliva.

  {Shrieieiieieieiieieieieieiisieieieieiieieisisisiisiaiwiwieiieiwoeiwowiiwiwiwiwiwiiwowiwiwiwiiwiwiwiwiwiiwiek}

  Another shriek came and it was louder and closer than before. An immeasurable amount of fear made our hearts heavy like we would chock to death any moment. Felt like a certain death was waiting for us.
