Amar arrived at the old house where the meet was scheduled and pushed open the door. "We should check the cupboard go there, Gabriel checks it there", Amar heard ruth shouting at Gabriel. He then asked others to confirm what was happening and found the book from which they took the recipe for the blood stew. And in between this, there was a shot from Gabriel and all of them rushed to the cupboard.
"What the hell gab, why are you shouting like you saw a ghost," asked Levi, in midst of this Amar saw inside the cupboard and was stupefied, he saw the book with "divine food" slowly burn from corners with ink like flames and showing its original appearance, a book which was black on one side and white on other with the spine shaped like the vertebra column of some creature with tusks and fangs covering its edges. the book started to pulse with a violet light along with blood vessel-like protrusion growing on it and the title "sinless sustenance" getting burnt on it.
"Guys are you also seeing this" uttered Elijah but then suddenly with the sound of chains breaking the book opened and an emotionless voice echoed saying "may fortune, favor the fated"6 lights of different colors shot out from the book and everybody fainted.
Amar woke up groggy and recalled that he fainted after getting hit by a cyan light. After looking at the time he realized that it was already 10 at night and the other had fainted for hours. After waking everyone up and being unable to reach any conclusion about today's event they decided to go home to sleep as they all were sleeping weirdly tired. Amar went home and jumped on the bed and fell asleep.
He woke up in a white space filled with cyan mist and he was confused for some time due to this environment. after waking from his stupor, he walked around the space in hope of finding its end or something in the space. After wondering for an unknown amount of time in the space, roaming about he suddenly saw a flash of light, and from it came a flash and then a woman with long black hair a slim figure, and long legs walked out she took a step forward and changed into a man in a Victorian suit and with step, IT took it kept changing from man to woman, from child to old, from human to unrecognizable shapes and finally it stood in front of Amar and turned into a formless cyan doll and said," well it's surprising to see someone with not any particularly preferred form" and before Amar could ask anything it started explaining how this realm will stimulate it into the appearance that the person in front will find most trustable but for Amar, the realm conclude that the original appearance is the most effective after testing all types of appearance.
"Umm who are you and why am I here," asked an impatient Amar, after getting bored with this excessively long explanation. "This place is nameless but we call it THE PORT, and for as to why you are here it's your fate that the HUB called you".
After scoring all the given info Amar asked "what is this fat—" only to be interrupted by it "I almost forgot my introduction – I am one of the PATHFINDERS and people call me Mr. G, and you can only ask 3 questions before being given the choice to be linked so chose carefully". After this warning, Amar pondered and raised his 1st question
"What is this hub you keep mentioning?"
Answered Mr. G "what is HUB is a difficult question as I don't have the compression to understand it, but I can explain to you that it is like a union of beings like you and me who are chosen by it and are given goals and tasks which operate on the principle of equivalent exchange and laws"
Still unsatisfied Amar asked "what is that sinless sustenance book which I got attacked by"
"First I must correct you that you were not attacked, but isolated and given energy of fate to be consumed to be summoned here, and what you saw was a seeker an existence which is both material and conceptual, it burns faith to exist anywhere and assimilate any object connected to the target by fate to isolate and provide energy" Amar learns a lot of new terms and was unable to grasp a lot of concepts but didn't waste a precious question for it and resolving himself asked the final question
"What do my friends and I have to do to return to normal from this situation" after this question, the atmosphere turned heavy and Mr. G told in a solemn voice "just survive the trial"
He then continued that now Amar had asked his question, now does he want to link to the hub and become a SPIKE and participate in the contest of survival among all organisms, to which he confidently replied "yes"
Rumble! Rumble!
The realm started to shake and everything started to flicker and Amar appeared in a void with only blackness, and suddenly an emotionless voice echoed
[is the organism ready to bear a link and become a SPIKE, please say yes or no]
"yes"
[Commencing generation of gospel and generating data]
The cyan light started to come from Amar's back and an image of the book appeared in front of the sinless sustenance started to degreed and slowly became a faded pocket diary and words started appearing on the projection
{Amar Surya}
{Existence: unawakened carbon lifeform (human B18)}
{Task: survive the great spiritual beast you summoned and get awakened}
REWARD- initiation into a SPIKE
{Error!!! PLEASE COMPLETE INITIATED FOR MORE FUNCTIONS}
After looking at this diary Amar started getting drowsy and he closed his eyes.
