For a mean particular person. It’s exhausting to dwell on this world. It’s the reality.
At a younger age, we’re taught that each one individuals are made equal and that we are able to obtain something with sufficient effort. Clearly, that was a lie. A lie inherited from one technology of losers to a different.
Not all individuals are made equal and neither does sufficient effort equate to success. All we are able to do is combat for survival and hope for the very best.
Some are born clever, sensible, sturdy and even wealthy. And when all the pieces comes collectively, we name these individuals extraordinarily fortunate. And for an individual with none of that luck, for a mean particular person, it’s exhausting to dwell on this world.
And Alex is the dwelling illustration of that.
His luck within the genetic pool was unhealthy giving him a frail physique. And he did not even have the luck of getting wealthy and supportive dad and mom. Even then, together with his barely above-average mind, he held on, making an attempt to outlive on this dog-eat-dog world.
Like everybody else, he went to highschool, acquired a pc engineering diploma and have become a company slave. Like nearly all of the inhabitants, there he was working to make the wealthy, richer.
Sooner or later in his life, he realized how meaningless his life was. He was only a failure and no quantity of effort might save him from this pit he dug himself into.
So, he stop his job abruptly and took a break from all of the bullshit. After which moved to his outdated house within the village to do no matter he needed to do.
And the very first thing he needed to do after transferring to his house city was to gaze on the twinkling stars that had been invisible throughout his metropolis life.
Driving his outdated bashed-up second-hand automobile, he went to a hill close by with the least quantity of sunshine. He was certain that the celebrities could be seen there. As anticipated, he might see the tiny specs of sunshine twinkling within the evening sky.
Alex realised for the primary time that it had been years since he final noticed a star. They had been prettier than the neon lights that swallowed the cityscape. It was a chilled expertise for him.
As soon as once more he was reminded how small he was within the huge expanse of the universe. His lifetime and all the pieces he did in that timeframe could be synonymous with the lifetime of a bubble. Fleeting and insignificant.
Simply as he was starting to go to sleep. He caught some gentle flickering within the evening sky. It was brighter than the celebrities and was abandoning a path within the evening sky.
Are they meteors, he thought.
Or was it Starlink satellites revolving across the planet? Anyway, they had been fairly. And unknowingly, at that second he wished for a greater future.
Simply as he made that want, the sunshine from the meteors intensified. Relatively than going throughout the earth’s ambiance and burning into oblivion, one of many lights got here crashing down in the direction of earth, slowly rising in measurement because it neared Alex.
Alex was perplexed to see this. He needed a greater life, not a simple loss of life. After scrambling to his ft, Alex ran to his automobile to start out its engine. For some motive, the automobile stalled and the meteor crashed into his automobile, destroying the automobile and all the pieces within the neighborhood to smithereens.
Alex who was contained in the automobile too died in that occasion.
————–
It was chilly. No, it was freezing. Alex thought as he awakened from the nightmare.
He breathed closely, wanting round to see the place he was.
Taking a look at his proper hand, he might see one thing unusual wrapped round it. It regarded like a brown material, but it surely felt tough and coarse. It appears to be like like his hand had been injured and was inside some sort of solid.
‘The place am I? What occurred to my proper hand?’
Alex closed his eyes, making an attempt to recall what had occurred to him. For a truth, he knew that he was on a hill close to his house.
However how did he find yourself right here? Did the asteroid actually hit me? Is that this a lucid dream?
He thought whereas making an attempt to make sense of the state of affairs.
However as anticipated, when he opened his eyes nothing modified. He was inside a dilapidated room with dim lighting. It was extraordinarily chilly and all the pieces round him was overseas. His proper hand was damaged and a slight ache could possibly be felt from it.
‘Anyway, it is higher than getting smashed into smithereens by a meteor.’ Alex thought whereas slowly standing up.
The wooden floors creaked and made a screeching noise.
Alex felt soreness throughout his physique whereas standing up. But it did not cease him from transferring round.
Though all the pieces round him was unfamiliar. He knew the situation enjoying round him.
This was similar to a sport.
You’re all of a sudden thrust into an unknown world and it’s important to fend for your self and survive. That is what each sport does and this situation was not any completely different.
He knew that he was not in a dream or a VR sport. However the situation pressured him to have a look at the world like a sport.
‘If this can be a sport, I would like to investigate my environment and discover the absolute best plan of action.’ Considering like that.
Alex started observing the world round him. The dilapidated picket cabin was small and soiled. There was leather-based and fur stacked on the facet of the mattress and a tiny oil lamp could possibly be seen lit close to him on a clay pot.
The garments that he was carrying had been additionally made out of some sort of animal leather-based and it lined him utterly. Offering him with ample heat.
Taking a look at all that, Alex got here to a conclusion. This place is historic and this won’t be a spot on Earth.
Searching the window, he might see tall timber and snow protecting the entire space.
It regarded as if he was wanting from a excessive vantage level.
‘This picket cabin was on a tree!’
Alex’s ideas had been proper. He was inside a picket cabin made on a big tree. And that is additionally an historic civilization.
Then poor Alex got here to a startling realization that he was actually lifeless.
Though he did not understand how way back he reincarnated and the way he lived until now. He was positively inside another person’s physique.
Opposite to what was anticipated. Alex was relaxed when he realised all the pieces. He was sufficiently old to know that some issues are past his management and there’s no level in worrying about them anymore.
If he was lifeless, he was lifeless. What extra might he do about that?
He lifted his damaged arm up, ensuring that it was alright regardless of transferring it round. He made his manner in the direction of the door.
What awaited him past that door was a brand new world for him to discover. And like every gamer, Alex actually favored a brand new and thrilling problem.
