Unbeknownst to Alex, something was happening while he slept. A sound echoed in the deepest part of his brain
"System Initialization begin"
Alex awoke to that strange sound, only to be immediately greeted by the loud chirping of birds. He let out a long yawn and stretched.
'What's wrong with my body today? I feel like I've slept for a hundred years! I feel so damn good!'
Glancing around his room, Alex saw the familiar walls of his cramped apartment, bathed in the soft morning light.
The space was sparse, with peeling paint and worn furniture, each item telling a story of years gone by. His gaze fell on the small, cluttered desk adorned with his old gaming console and video game cassettes.
