"Woahh woahh ENOUGH!"
Albert immediately stopped the huge device and popped his head out from the side of the machine.
"Now that was pretty fast. A little disappointing hmm"
" Couldnt you have at least prepare me for it and let me know what was going to happen"
" This is exactly why students will have two attempts on this platform. Now focus on something in your memory, something you can hold on to easily and imagine placing a metal chain on it, so strong that nothing can pull you away."
" Give me a second then"
Something to hold on. Hmmm. That was difficult, no, actually it wasnt. From when he was kid till today, he was constantly being bullied, being an orphan and having nothing. No looks, no skills and mose importantly no money. He was always either pushed aside or mocked at. Now that he has been givin this one in a few billion chance, he must use it to show everyone his true potential.
" Im ready"
With a determined look on his face, the surrounding gravitational field started to increase its gravity. It began really easy at first and slowly, the weight came crushing down. With a knee on the floor, beads of sweat started forming on his forehead. Seconds were like minutes and soon it felt like hours had passed.
Jim was already sitting on the platform, straining to keep his back upright. The amount of humiliation he suffered through his life should not merely determine his mental strength. He wanted to be more, now would be the time to show that resolve.
"Enough!"
Jim used the last of his strength to say that before passing out, sprawled on the floor.
When Jim woke up, he groggily found himself in a brightly lit room that resembles greatly like a hospital ward, ignoring the fact there was a guy sitting beside him. Wait... A guy??
" Hyunn? What are you doing here??"
" What the heck bro, i called you like at least 5000 times and you didnt even picked up. And woahhhh, wait your eyes, oh my god, dont tell me you are an awakened??"
" I think so"
Jim's head hurt so badly that he couldnt even comprehend what was going on.
" This is so AWESOMEE. How am i on the other world??
" Hyun... "
" Now you have powers, you are going to be great. Dont forget about me alrightt!!!"
" Hyun... "
" Do you think you can awaken me too? "
" Hyun... "
Hyun was getting more and more excited by the second, until Jim slowly raised his hand upwards.
SLAP
" Bro, gimme some rest first man"
