Chapter 1 - Open your eyes

(In the middle of a bottomless pit, a man could be seen impaled by a large rock that looked like a spear, the figure remained there, unmoving until his eyes abruptly opened.)

"Huh? Where am I? Why does it feel so… hot?" (Asked the man while slowly moving his gaze towards his abdomen)

Seeing how his abdomen was impaled by a large rock, he began screaming in shock and pain from the realization.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Damn it! Calm down, fuck, fuck, fuck, huff, huff, huff, ughh."

Finally after what appeared to be an eternity, the figure calmed down and began to think about his current situation.

"Ummm…. who am I?"

The man tried his best to remember who he was but nothing came to mind. Even thinking with all his power proved to be futile as his attempts to remember were rewarded with nothing but more questions to be answered.

"Hah, I'm tired and my body is not well either, now that I think about it… what are those sounds that I keep hearing?"

The man looked around and saw a scene that shocked him, hundredths of people were falling from the sky towards what appeared to be a bottomless pit. He could hear their screams and cries for help while they fell towards the pit.

"Damn it, what's happening, too many questions and no answers. The real question here is, how am I still alive? Considering how deep the rock is in my abdomen, a lot of my organs should be destroyed. At least I'm alive, that's a plus, I just hope that I'm not immortal, that would suck. Now, I don't know what to do, I'm just going to wait here to see if something happens, it's not like I can do more than that anyways."

The man waited, and waited, and waited until… something different finally happened.

"Huh, why did the people stopped falling out of the sky? Maybe something happened, now that I think about it, why am I here? Maybe I did something wrong and I was sent here? There's no point in even thinking about it if I can't do anything about it. What I know is that I can't remember anything and that's it."

Time passed very slowly, The man, having nothing to do, was very tired and bored, it didn't help that his abdomen was currently impaled and with every movement there was pain. Having said that, the man felt like months passed and everything was still the same. There was no sky, only a rocks everywhere and a huge pit. Every time the man slept, he woke up to the sight of the same scenery, every.. single.. time, the man had one more bothering problem… hunger.

"You know what! I'm done here, dying is better than bearing this killer hunger and pain. I have no idea how I'm hungry without a stomach but it doesn't matter, I already made the choice to throw myself into the pit, and if dying is my way out of here then I'll gladly accept it."

Finally making his mind, the man grabbed the spear like rock and pulled his body upwards out of the rock, he was deep down, so he had push up without falling down more towards the rock.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh fuuuuuck! I'll get out of here no matter what!"

The man kept pulling up bearing the pain that came along with his efforts. The man made one last pull and fell towards the pit.

"Ahhhhh!" (Screamed the man)

He could only see darkness while falling, the man quickly stopped screaming as he saw that there was no end to the drop.

"This is really bad, don't tell me that I will have to keep falling like this for eternity. If it's like that then I prefer being on that spear like stone, just let me rest in peace! I don't know what I did before being here but I pray to a higher being to let me go."

The man kept praying in his head about his situation but received no answer. After a few seconds he finally decided to stop praying and just wait.

'I can remember the english language, and also some complicated words but I can't remember who I am? It must be a joke. Haah, I wonder who I was, did I have a good life? What's my name? Did I commit a crime? If that's it then this must be hell. I've never imagined that it would be like this, right now I just want to relax.' (Thought the man before closing his eyes)

And just like that, the man fell asleep. Some time passed, there's no way to know how much time passed but the man was beginning to open his eyes. The first thing that the man saw when he opened his eyes was the bottom of the drop and himself falling towards it. Having woken up, his mind was filled with adrenaline and seeing himself drop to his death he could only lament his choice, but there was no turning back for him now, his mind was filled with a lot of thoughts and just seconds away from his death he said his final words.

"Oh shi- SPLAT!"

"Hey Zeren, come down and wash the dishes" (A woman that appeared to be on her twenties shouted.)

"Coming." (Zeren said with an annoyed voice)

The boy quickly stopped reading and went toward the kitchen. Having arrived, Zeren started washing the never ending pile of dishes that were in the sink.

"Hey mom? When will we move out of this place, we literally live in a junkyard, I am tired of hearing the trucks and angry people shouting all day." (Zeren said while continuing to wash the dishes.)

Have a little patience, your dad and I will soon have enough money to settle in a nice place, after that we can enroll you in a good school and you will be able to make some good new friends." (The mother said enthusiastically.)

Zeren didn't answer back and kept washing the dishes. Next thing in the list for him was going out on his bike, having washed the dishes quickly, he sprinted outside for the bike after telling his mom that he was leaving.

"Return before seven pm." (His mother reminded him.)

"I will." (The boy said before going out on his bike into the streets.)

———————————-

Deep into the pit, what's left of a man could be seen, it seems as if he had fallen off from a great height. He was laying there until something amazing that defied the natural laws of the world happened, every part of his body including the blood and everything was being repaired like if it was getting glued together. Afterwards the shape of a man could be seen, he had regenerated! But there was only one problem, his abdomen didn't heal and was left with emptiness. The man opened his eyes very quickly and stood up.

"What was that dream, Was it my past life? But more importantly what happened, didn't I die? I look good but, why is my stomach still not in place?" (The man said with a frown)

"Wait a second, I remember my name! It's Zeren."
