Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: User?

"Huh my head... again." Vorden woke up with a huge headache.

"He's awake." he heard a mechanic voice say.

"Bring him to me." another oh-so-familiar voice said. It was the voice of the lady he met at the counter.

Vorden was dragged into a place that looked like an interrogation room.

"I can't and won't believe that a commoner like you could breach our security system and get in without us realizing. So permit me to ask but are you a user?" She asked with a peculiar tone. She looked at him with wide eyes like how a child looks like an animal in a zoo.

"What's a user?" Vorden asked thinking the girl had gone mad. 'One time, I was in the shop with her, then hitted by a truck I appeared here and now she is interrogating about being a user or some sort. This is just getting add to process.' "Listen to me, I don't know you have been through but that doesn't make it right to abduct young and handsome men like me to play make believe." Vorden said with a look of annoyance.

*THUD*

She stomped a foot right in between his two legs. The force of the stomp make the chair sink into the ground. "Listen to me. I am currently not in the best of mood, so you speaking inappropriately can lead you to never being able to speak again." She said with a cold gaze.

Sweat slid down Vorden forehead while he swallowed the lump in his throat. "Yes ma" he said simply.

"A user is someone said to come from a different place. They are people who appear at of nowhere. To be honest, they are quite inferior to us in many ways. They age, they are naturally weak, but want thing I can give to them is that they know how to think." She said in a thinking pose.

"Well, I have to say we are quite smart." Vorden said tooting is horn. "But why do you call them users?"

"I don't know, it somehow just seems like that's what they are called, we just call them that for a reason." She said contemplating.

"User... This is just new to me. I just wanted to by a video game but I ended up going to God knows where, and ended up with the last person I wanted to be with..." Looking up at the ceiling in a sorrowful pose, Vorden spoke trying to earn some sympathy point.

"Well, when a user first comes to this world he ends up with this world version of the person he saw last." she said ignoring what he was doing.

"That will explain it" Vorden said with a tear. 'But, wasn't it the old man I saw last. Maybe he didn't have a counterpart here.' Vorden didn't pay to much attention on it. His main priority was escaping, get some new clothes and get the hell out of wherever the heck he is in.

"Let's make a deal, you seem like a pretty smart guy." She said.

"Smart... Me and that word go nowhere together. We are like the polar sides." Vorden said laughing weirdly. He was trying not to get into something he may not be able to get out from.

"Well, I won't want to force you. If you don't want you you don't have to. I'll just report you for breaking and entering and let say... sexual assault" she said sheepishly.

"Sexual assault...Hmph. The only thing that can assault you is King Kong." He said under is breath.

"Did you say something?" She said.

"Say something, me, and why would I do something like that. That reminds me of the time I was working in Legro and my boss..."

"Forget I asked." She said annoyed. "Anywho, I am not that wicked. All you need to do is work for me and I will give you a place to live, clothes to where and food to eat." she smiled.

"What is the catch?" Vorden asked suspiciously.

"Well, it is simple. If you want to be released you will have to pay me... a billion dollars. "

"B-BILLION! Why don't you just rob a bank, you will get more money there. Even forget all these pleasantries, what does someone your age wants with a billion, when you don't have carrier ambition and ability to budget. No wonder you are able to shout a amount like that." Vorden lost it.

He was just a broke teacher in us past life now someone is asking for a billion dollars for his freedom.

"It seems you don't know the circumstances you are in. You aren't in the position to argue with me. I say, you do. That's how it is and that's how it is going to be. You annoy me and I will raise it up to a trillion." she said with a death stare.

Vorden was on the verge of tears. 'I don't blame you. It is not your fault, I blame myself self. I don't know who sent me to go and buy video game, look where I ended up ' he lamented in his mind.

"I am raising the price to a trillion" she said suddenly.

"W-whyyyy" tears were this close from dropping from his eyes.

"I saw it in your eyes, you were thinking dirty thoughts weren't you!" she said

'Dirty thoughts your head! It is you that is thinking dirty thoughts, it is your entire family that is thinking dirty thoughts' he lamented in his head.

"My decision is final. Go upstairs and change, you are starting to reek. Bogo, show him to his room." she said with her hand on her nose.

"Yes, ma'am." The mechanic voice said leading him to a room.

Vorden notice that he wasn't really dressed to impress. The hoodie he wore had a big nasty hole in the middle with the edges covered in blood.

He looked around and saw the room was quite furnished and neat with every basic appliance.

Seeing the clothes, he was even more impressed. 'I wonder how much clothes are in this world.'
