The red screen vanished;
However, a group of mechanical hands covered my path, forming a cage and making sure I had no way out. It did not take long for medical needles to fly at me from the ceiling.
I was in my birthday suit, making it easy for any injection to enter through my skin, yet I managed to dodge each and every one of them using my legs like a small monkey.
"For a prince, you really did your training when it comes to dancing. Stay still, damn it!" The system complained.
'So it is a first-generation system. I can tell that much from how quickly it ran out of ideas. I would have been in trouble if it were the latest third-generation system.'
After making my assumption, I took hold of one of the mechanical fingers that was shaped like a small blade. Using it to my advantage, I unscrewed some of the hands blocking me.
"If you continue to resist me, I will be forced to engage in combat with you."
Hearing that same voice again, I almost fell into laughter, "Try it, if you dare."
Driii—!
The mechanical hands charged at me, yet I blocked each of their predictable jabs.
'I used to have one like this when I was only an infant.'
Bam—! Crack—!
Although some of the bones in my body cracked, I kept on exchanging attacks with the hands coming at me back and front.
"Thanks to your crappy healing services. I have been injured even more."
"What did you say, human?!!"
I smiled at the corner of my lips, "I said your healing sucks. If it was the new type of system, then I would be able to walk without feeling this much pain."
All the actions being made by the system stopped, as it asked, "So you are still feeling pain in your body and forcing yourself to move."
"Isn't that obvious."
I didn't lie at all. My breathing is all hugged up, and I might collapse to the ground at any time, as bones are aching all over."
All I can do is enjoy the smell of disinfectant covering this mechanical medical room.
"So you want all the bones and muscles in your body to stop feeling pain, and also have a near immortal life."
I again stated, "Isn't that obvious."
I didn't get an answer, as all the mechanical body parts in the room started sinking into the ceilings like water.
After a few minutes, the bed was the only thing remaining in the room, and the lights turned off, leaving the place dark as the abyss.
A light blue system panel appeared in front of me:
[I am the system which your father made during his childhood days. I was given the order to protect all his family members, unlike the other systems which are tasked to protect India. I don't know what will happen to you twin brothers, but I will bestow upon you a great gift.
You will understand everything when you wake up.]
My face cringed into a scowl. 'What are you talking about? My father is not an engineer; he is a mechanic.'
[Correct. If he possessed a more comprehensive understanding, my performance would have been enhanced.]
I really wanted to shout at him for mocking my father, but couldn't as I had done earlier.
However, it didn't take a second for the holographic screen to vanish, and now I was in complete darkness.
I stayed calm as I tried to navigate the room, yet I kept reaching no end.
"Shit! Are you forcing an illusion into me? First generations like you don't have that ab—!"
My words came to a sudden halt as I felt a mosquito bite on my family jewels.
"Ahhhh!"
I screamed for a minute as I waited for the weird blue mosquito to fly away from my body.
Kwaa—!
I used both my palms to clap it the moment it got away from my sacred region. However, my body started feeling dizzy as if I had been drugged unknowingly.
The A.I. system popped up in front of my eyes:
[By possessing the incapability to produce semen within your body, you have acquired the gift of immortality. Your existence will be perpetual until the end of eternity.]
I didn't have time to ponder such things as I lost consciousness and entered the dream world.
...
It was a nightmare like no other.
I couldn't smell or hear anything. All I could rely on was my sight, as I dared not to open my mouth.
All I could feel was an enormous amount of pain.
A group of Africanized honey bees had gathered on my body, forming a cloak. They were all stinging me, and it didn't take a minute for them to end my life.
Next, I found myself staring at a humongous ebony dragon with its large tongue dripping saliva on me.
That's all I could see before it chewed me with its razor-sharp teeth, yet I remained alive until it swallowed my eyeballs into its long neck.
Next, I found my hair being gripped by a man with black and white hair on each half of his head, wearing a red turtleneck.
"Burn to nothing."
At the end of his smoky voice, I found myself burning down to a crisp, yet I was able to mutter to the man, "Why are you doing this to me... Max?"
Next, I found myself in bed with a pink-skinned alien, yet all I could see were her cotton-like hands hugging me from behind.
Her teeth sank deep into my neck as she drained my blood, leaving me with only bones attached to my skin.
...
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"
I found myself gasping for breath as I woke up to the lovely sunlight shining on my handsome face.
"It was only a dream," I exclaimed.
I looked around to check my location. I was alone in the jungle with stupid monkeys gazing at me from a respectable distance.
Swish—!
Luckily, I could hear the sound of a car passing through the road a few feet from where I was lying.
However, my face couldn't help but frown as I looked at my current dressing and facial features being reflected in the pond near me.
"Why do I look like a girl?!"
