In outer space, a spaceship could be seen getting sucked into a black hole.
"Put 100% of the power into the thrusters!" A slim woman who was preparing to wear a spacesuit shouted.
A thin man replied, "It's already on 100%! We can't make it!"
In the back corner, a thin but tall man sat on a corner already wearing a spacesuit, his right hand was on his kneecaps, staring into the void; just waiting to die.
He chuckled at the catastrophe his dream job gave him, "Guess this is it huh, my first mission and it has already gone haywire."
As they were getting sucked, a meteor that was also getting sucked struck the front of the spaceship, killing the captain and the crew and killing the ones who have not worn their suits in time.
He stared dumbfoundedly at what just happened, he shook his head and still stayed calm, he knows he's gonna die, panicking won't help him.
The spaceship continued to get sucked meanwhile the last crew member that is still alive just sat in a corner, enjoying the view of outer space via the huge hole in front of him.
"This isn't too bad."
...
The remaining of the ship is now inside the black hole, the last crew member, Apollo, was still alive but not conscious, he just layed there, motionless.
As time goes by inside the black hole, Apollo still hasn't woke up, seemingly in a comatose state.
Because of the coldness in the black hole and the gravity that continues rising as time goes on, his body was frozen and gets stronger the longer he stays in there.
Although people speculate that the black hole would instantly kill people, that was not the case here.
...
A few dozen millenniums have gone by inside the black hole but only a day has passed on planet Earth.
A body in a spacesuit could be seen inside a broken spaceship, frozen in ice and motionless.
Apollo got his consciousness back, "Ugh."
When he opened his eyes, his vision became a translucent blue, and in front of him was a spaceship that was covered in ice.
He got shocked so his instincts told him to jump backward, and so he did.
That animal instincts instantly broke the ice that was covering his spacesuit and shook the spaceship he is in.
He rubbed his eyes, seemingly dumbfounded at the scene he is currently witnessing.
"What the actual fuck..." He cursed in his breath.
He immediately ran towards the hole the meteorite made while they were getting sucked but all he saw was huge rocks floating in the distance.
Everything in this 'Space' was just black, he could only faintly see huge rocks in the distance. He wanted to pinch himself but stopped because the spacesuit was covering his skin.
He sat in a corner, trying to reorganize his thoughts on what to do next.
He tried to remember the last place he was in before sleeping,
"Am I... still in space...?" The sudden realization struck him like a thunderstrike.
He checked his back if there was any oxygen left and there was none, "Then how... how am I still breathing?"
The things that he thought in his mind is making him go insane, 'If I'm still stuck in space, how will I eat? There isn't even oxygen to breath, no water to drink. AAARRRGHHH!" He scratched his head like a mental person, thinking on how to survive in this desolate space with no food, water or oxygen.
But the strange thing was, he could still breathe normally.
He kept thinking about what to do, he didn't even know how much time has passed since he woke up and he didn't even feel hunger nor thirst.
...
Time: Unknown.
In these past days/months/years, Apollo learned that he didn't need oxygen, food, or water to survive, so he tried to go outside of the spaceship but found nothing.
What he also learned was that he somehow gained an ability of some sort, although he doesn't know what the ability was, he could exchange the things/rocks he found for food.
He doesn't know where it came from but it helped him retain his sanity and he was thankful for that.
"Status."

-A few weeks(?) ago-
The thing that gave him that game-like status was actually an unknown entity that wanders around, that 'Entity' was some kind of light source, like a firefly. He found that entity while wandering around, finding some kind of race that he could go to, to seek help so he could return to Earth.
Apollo thought it was strange for a light source to be seen in space so he got back to his spaceship and took a translucent jar so he could make it into a light source in his spaceship.
He found it floating about in a giant floating rock, When he tried to capture it, the light ran towards him and it suddenly disappeared when it got close to his head.
"What a waste." He thought to himself as the light suddenly disappeared as he was about to capture it.
It wasn't really a light because it could move on its own so he just thought it was an animal that glows.
-Present-
Apollo was just about to click the sell button to sell some rocks he found so he could buy some good food but a promp appeared.
[As Host has more than enough power, Host could exchange power to buy a teleportation ticket for going back to earth, the conversion rate is 1 to 1.]
'This fucking pop-up window annoys me every fucking day, doesn't this have an adblocker to block this or something?' He murmured to himself.
He closed the window that popped up and exchanged the 'rocks' for points so he could taste food again, although he doesn't need food nor water, he just loves the taste it gives.
As he doesn't read the text of the pop-up, he doesn't know what it does so he just closes it every time.
While he eats, the same pop-up appeared in his vision, it got in his nerve so he decided to read it.
'As Host... conversion rate is 1 to 1.'
His eyes became bigger as he read what was written.
"I COULD GO HOME!!"
He became excited at the thought of going home, although he doesn't have parents, wife, or kids, he just wants to go back to Earth to touch the land, eat food and just be able to live normally again.
He closed the window and hurriedly sell some stats, he doesn't know what it means because he doesn't really play games that often but all he knows is that it is his ticket to go back home.
He sold 100,000 of his stats and hurriedly bought the ticket to go back home.
His ticket was sent to his storage, it isn't a physical ticket so he couldn't take it out and that confused him.
"How the fuck do I return home?!" Just the fact that he couldn't use the ticket broke his heart.
[Host could just touch the ticket in his consciousness and press the accept button that will pop up momentarily after touching the ticket.]
Apollo immediately sat down and tried to access his consciousness, after doing this for an unknown amount of time, he could do it easily, just like breathing air and drinking water.
In his consciousness, everywhere he looks, all he could see was white, except for the items that were stored in his storage.
His storage was the whitespace in his consciousness so all the things he stored could be easily found by a search bar or be manually taken.
In the whitespace, rocks of all sizes could be seen and a glowing golden ticket could be seen among them, he ran towards the golden ticket and immediately touched it.
A pop-up suddenly appeared in his vision.
[Using a travel ticket to go to earth.]
With a yes and no button beneath it, he clicked yes, with a huge smile on his face and a tear began forming in the corner of his eyes.
'I could finally go home.'
Golden light enveloped his body and after a while, the golden light disappeared and Apollo also disappeared from where he was standing.
