Chapter 1 - Waste

(Because I'm a beginner, the way I tell the story is a little sloppy.)

[Successful system functioning]

3 kilometers deep, a hidden underground facility that had previously shut off its lights and no one and then abruptly switched them on.

"I'm starving, System, is there any food?" A man's voice can be heard strolling naked down the hall.

[It's in the storage room, but I'm not sure if it's still edible because it was stored there ten years ago.]

"I haven't eaten or drunk in ten years, so why am I still alive and in a capsule?" The man expressed himself.

[System found an answer, you receive nutrients and liquids through a vein or feeding tube that the capsule have.]

The man became weaker as he walked, and it became increasingly difficult for him to move until he opted to sit next to the corridor.

"Can you answer any questions, System?" As he closed his eyes to relax, the man said.

[The system can only respond to your inquiries, however there are constraints]

"Can you explain what you mean by that? ... by the way, do you know anything about me? I'm not sure what my name is or why I'm here," the man says.

[You are Dave, a 23-year-old man who is here for a reason]

"For what reason?" Dave inquires.

[The system can't answer that for a good purpose]

"Useless," Dave exclaimed.

[In the meantime, I will release beta robots to assist you; you must regain your strength and leave this facility in three days.]

As a woman's voice said or system, a large screen television in front of Dave opened, and a 72-hour countdown began.

After three minutes of sitting next to the corridor, Dave is assisted by three robots with five feet of height and a thin body to enter the storage room, where he finds clothes and water.

Dave sleeps in a room next to the storage room on a bed prepared by the robots.

As time passes, Dave is unable to sleep because he is hungry, so he stands up, and the door opens, allowing the robots to enter and place the baked potatoes on the table next to Dave's bed.

"Do you have any water?" Dave inquires.

{Please wait while I go get some water.}

After the robot had left, Dave inquired of the system, "How did you get this food?"

[There is an underground farm room in the underground facility]

"Oh underground, so you mean I'm in in the underground facility?" dave said.

[Yes, the system advises you to eat more in order to regain your strength.]

And then a robot arrived with two bottles of water, and Dave began to eat, consuming at least fifteen baked potatoes in less than a half hour.

Dave rest, eat and have exercise while waiting system command him to leave the place for about 2 days.

Three days later, with only one hour until Dave leaves the facility, robots guide him to an elevator where he can exit.

In the elevator, Dave's system is giving him lots of advice. "Why do I need to leave this place?" Dave inquires.

[The system will destroy this facility, but first inject this into you.]

The robot's chest opened, revealing an injection and a blue liquid.

"What is this?" Dave inquires.

[You will know if you are injected with it]

Dave did as the system instructed, and he felt a sense of calm as he closed his eyes, and when he opened them, the scene had changed and a woman stood in front of him.

"Who are you?" Dave inquires.

"I'm the system," the woman explained.
