Chapter 2 - 1. Awaken

I hear a loud noise coming from my right waking me up. I know it's my alarm but it sounds different maybe I changed the sound before I fell asleep last night. ( I do that often )

Hmmm that's strange I don't remember having a window to the right of me it was closer to foot of the bed. Could I have moved my bed in my sleep. I decide to let it go and get out of bed. I roll to the side of the bed and sit up. I yawn stretch and think about what I should do today. Of course I come to the conclusion that I should probably get dressed and eat breakfast.

I stand up, this is odd I feel taller than I did before I went to bed now thinking about it this room looks different too. I can only see the dark silhouettes of furniture but I know that I didn't have much in my room. I went to the door for the light switch but there wasn't one. At this point I'm freaking out because I can't really see, I'm in a different room and now there's no way to turn on a light.

sitting back down I decided to collect my thoughts. "Did something happen to me last night I can't remember doing anything but going to bed" I asked myself these questions. Before losing hope I decided to look around my surroundings maybe I could find a way to turn on the lights. My eyes had finally adjusted to the dark I saw a desk next to the bed with a soft blue glow coming from the center, past that was a tall mirror where someone could see themselves from head to toe a closet next to it and a dresser next to that. The door was the next thing I could see it was a plain door nothing special, adjacent to that was another closet hmm I wonder why there are two closets in here. next to the closest was a chair across from a blank wall hmm no TV that's odd why would you just have a chair there with nothing across from it.

My alarm went off again, realizing that I hadn't turned it off yet but now looking it was coming blue glow on the desk I pushed my hand on it to see if I could shut it off. I was rather scared of whoever lived here walking in and seeing me just sitting on there bed.

Once I pulled my hand away the noise stops, as I let out a sigh of relief I hear a voice speak to me

" Good morning master did you sleep well? I noticed you let the alarm snooze?"

I slowly turn towards the voice and see a small elf man standing on my desk wearing a Butler uniform. From the look of him he was a high elf with fair skin and white hair and green eyes but I couldn't understand why he was tiny.

he spoke again "sir are you alright" he asks

"Are you speaking to me" I reply

"why yes there isn't anyone in here sir, are you feeling alright?" he asks

I wipe the tired out of my eyes trying to figure out what is going on.

" I don't quite remember anything" I finally get the courage to say.

He doesn't say anything but looks at me. he starts walking to the edge of the desk.

"hmmmm seems like temporary amnesia let's set you back up sir." he says calmly

The lights finally turn on, the bright light hurts it takes a while for my eyes to adjust but when I open the elf has grown to full size standing at 5"8.

"Alright we will start at the basics your name is Roxas occupation: hunter age: 19 status: healthy." he states

" what is your name and what are you" I ask

" I am Gilbert your virtual Butler I also help you with needs via your phone" he said pointing to a small rectangle on my desk. How did I not notice that before? I grab it and turn it on a screen projects from it with different options like calls, messages, games, bank account, etc.. Gilbert then pops up on the phone disappearing from in front of me.

"here is the main menu you can access most of what you need like your ID and your money. most people don't use it in this mode due to others being able to see so they set it to the incognito mode just say the phrase and it changes." he explains

"Incognito mode" I say

And just like that it changes to a heads up display not blocking my view but also convenient to get to like a video game.

"alright sir it's time to get out of bed and get dressed the day isn't gonna start itself" he says

He reappears in front of me and tells me to walk to the mirror. This is the first time seeing myself for the most part I still look similar. I'm in better shape my hair is straight instead of curly, my eye color is purple and I'm even a few inches taller. otherwise I still have the same look

"Let's get you ready sir" as he motions towards the closet

I open the closet to see some odd clothing, to make things simple I grab the shirt with my favorite color. I slide on the blue long sleeve shirt, it feels kinda weird almost looks like it was inside out and it had buttons on the outside.

Gilbert can obviously tell I don't know what is going on, he shows me a picture of how it looks after you put everything on.

The material for the shirt felt like silk but next you had to put on a leather pieces almost look like partial armor. two pieces for the torso front and back two on the shoulder and two on the elbow.

I am not gonna lie it feels really nice almost like a second skin. The pants were relatively normal but the material was sturdy but light the pockets were small they were a nice blue color so I felt like I was dressed pretty ok. The socks were pretty straight forward they would dry your feet and eliminate odor on contact next were the shoes they were heavy looking boots but surprisingly light when I slip them on they fix themselves where they are firmly on my feet.

"Not bad sir you almost look as good as me" he chuckles.

"Hey Gilbert what's a hunter?" I ask not fully understanding what my occupation is.

"Well sir a hunter is a person of great skill and power." he says

"Hmmm, do you want to talk about it in more detail? he asks

"I would like to know what I am getting myself into so in full detail please" I say.
