The sound jolted in my ear and in a blink of an eye, a notification window appeared infront of me out of nowhere, displaying some words:
I dont know what exactly to respond or not sure what to expect. But what's clear is i can feel my body shivering in fear. This was my first time experiencing a live rift spawning under my bed maybe even in whole history of mankind. Is this even normal?
Who am i kidding?, nothing's normal in this world anymore.
His mind was banging with different train of thoughts as his gaze were fixed upon on that purple dark mist swirling that couldn't stay in one place for a second, condensed into an oval shape. The longer i keep staring at it, the more i felt like my conciousness was slowly being drawn and sucked into it.
I couldnt budge even if i wanted to, as some kind of gravity or pressure was weighing down on me.
Maybe some kind of uknown disease or virus might've intruded my body already. That would be bad. Really.
"I should report this" He thought of that one thing but at the current matter, it was stupid as he just couldnt. nonetheless, get up and scream for help.
The rift was at the size of 3ft in height and width, enough to fit a single person. It was very small than the smallest dungeon that existed and ever recorded in the history books of mankind that in contrast was the height of a regular doorframe. He never heard of a rift spawning this kind of small.
'What? Am i just going to keep on staring like some fu*king retard the whole day? I need to do something!'
As he was anxiously pondering, thinking for a solution to get rid of this mess, a sudden burst of mysterious dark energy punched the air and blowing him off to the wall, cracking it.
He was too weak to handle that blow and spured a tiny amount of blood from his mouth and then he collapsed and fell unconcious.
The rift that was glowing a while ago, was now producing some kind of dark mysterious vortex, gliding out to reach for his body. Swallowing him and went straight back to the rift dispersing it.
'Badump'
'badump'
I could loudly hear my heart beating for a few moments until i was slowly awoken by some deep grudging sound of a mechanical clockwork that was heard in the background.
I slowly openned my eyes but the world that met before my eyes were with complete emptiness and darkness. I couldnt see anything including my body.
But my other senses are fine, he thought as he was caressing a smooth tile on the floor, confirming it. Its just this darkness covering my eyes and vision like some kind of a veil.
He pondered for a moment how he got here and slowly was able to recall what happened a while ago, although he fell unconscious and werent able to figure out how but one thing's for sure was- It all happened because a rift showed up under his bed.
But its a relief i didnt died by that sudden burst of energy that hit me.
"Hello?" I got up on my feet and aimlessly wondering about this strange room as i was still consumed by fear at the potential danger that might be.
His voice echoed in the room as he was trying to know if theres someone else besides him sharing the same situation. But there was no response as silence filled the air.
"HELLOOOO" He tried one more but to no use. The darkness was starting to annoy him as he cussed.
Damnit!
Where exactly am i? Whats the point in keeping me here?? A damn f**king light would be a great idea you know that? stupid rift!.
As he mumbles these words beneath his breath. The room suddenly burst with light suffusently, he stumbled on the ground as that caught him off guard. He almost felt dizzy as his eyes were a bit irritated by the sudden brightness that filled the room.
He slowly removed his arm covering his eyes, he was left speechless at what he saw.
Inside a room that seems to be inside of a tower or dungeon- was filled of dusty tiles and cracked stone walls with old or antique strange furnitures and some empty broken shelves filled with cobwebs as it seemed to be abandoned a very long time ago. But despite scanning anywhere, there was nothing like a mechanical clockwork thats been making a noise for a while every since in intervals.
At the center was a surprising sight to behold- Of a beautiful statue of a woman standing infront of his eyes with great body proportionate that was posing as she was holding a book on her left hand while his other hand was pointing somewhere, giving off curious and mystifying feeling.
Although it was strange to see these stuffs inside a rift. Its like giving a hint that someone mustve been here before, which explains the furnitures and shelves around.
Ever since the fist rift opened in this world, the history never stated a single species that was on similar level of a human person's culture understanding that produces these kinds of stuffs. Mostly were, mindless idiotic creatures always running rampart in some strange worlds.
But what caught his attention the most was whats standing at the center of the room that despite the fear that was bugging him since before, He temporarily forgot about it as his eyes were fixed upon this statue, admiring in awe the tiny details that made the statue seems so alive. To whoever made this statue-would be a very talented sculpture!. He thought.
Kado couldnt contain his hands for further inspection as he slowly reached for the statue when suddenly-
"What are you doing?"
