Everything around me is dark.
Is that all there is after you die? I've been sitting here for who knows how long. I can move around and turn my head but everything is just black. I moved my hands around on the 'ground' and felt a smooth surface. 'Is this glass?' I thought as I shuffled around awkwardly. *BOOM* I heard a huge explosion sound off in the distance. I turned in that direction then started running the other direction. 'Whatever that was can't be good. I've been safe in here and I'm blind or trapped somewhere.' All of a sudden a a slightly-blue transparent screen appeared in front of me. I stopped running and looked at the screen.
[ESCAPE] : [YES] [NO]
'Is this a screen?' I thought as I read the short message. 'Whatever this is, an escape is always good.' I clicked [YES] and I felt the ground disappear. "WHAT THE FUUUUUU," I screamed. I was falling for what seemed like hours until... "Is that light? Can I finally see again?" I saw a speck of light getting closer and closer. The light grew to a little ball. The screen popped up again in front of me saying:
[ENTERING WORLD 1]
'World 1? Does that mean there's a world 2?' I thought before I vision filled with light and I lost consciousness.
I felt something warm graze my cheek. I slowly woke up to found myself laying on a beach by myself. Above were palm trees overhead that slowly swayed with a breeze. I stood up and started looking at my surroundings. "What happened to the girl? What was that screen? That looked like some sort of game [MENU]. The screen popped up again and had different words on it.
[SKILL TREE] [STATUS] [MAP] [INVENTORY]
I read these and focused on [MAP]. It automatically opened up and showed a blank page with a small blue arrow. 'Well that doesn't help,' I thought as I thought of the [MENU] again. This time I focused on [INVENTORY]. It opened to a screen filled with blank boxes. I started experimenting and picked up a random shells laying on the beach.
*WHOOSH* Just as picked up the shell, a plane flew straight over head. I stared at the back of the cargo plane as it flew out into open ocean. "Why was it flying so low? If it just took off, then that means there's an airfield nearby!" I shouted to myself then started running inland to see where the plane came from. I crested over a small hill that separated the the beach to the forest, and saw a huge air base. The base covered most of the island in buildings and concrete. I looked towards the harbor and saw an aircraft carrier sitting idle. I started running as fast as I could to reach the air base. 'If I go down there I could get a map,' I thought as I ran down the mountain towards the other end of the island. I kept running until I saw an old fence. I quickly jumped over and kept running. The forest gradually turned into small trees and bushes. "If there's an aircraft carrier then there has to be !" I said with an anxious voice. I heard the low hum of aircraft engines as I got closer. Starting to see glimpses of the airfield ahead, I thought, 'Finally made it-'
*BOOM**BOOM**BOOM* A series of explosions went off as airplanes directly over the base, flew over the clouds. The forestry ended and I ran out into the open. On my left was the air traffic control building which was on fire, and straight ahead were the hangers for several aircraft. I ran up to the flaming building to see how I could help. "HELP!" yelled a soldier trapped behind a door that led inside. I quickly ran up and yelled, "Stand back!" I put my shoulder forward and sprinted through. Smoke filled my vision as a crowd of people ran by. Disoriented, I fell down and tried to get my bearings. "Thanks, lets go," yelled a voice from behind as a set of arms dragged me out of the building. My vision cleared and I saw some soldiers using fire extinguishers to fight the flames inside. The person let go of me and I turned around to see who it was. My mind froze as I saw the familiar face next to me. 'Is that-
