"Yes", Neo said while touching the back of his head, he couldn't stop his eye from darting around her glamorous body.
"Sir please forgive Mr Ray for the informalities welcome to the world my master's private cruise ship", she said bowing her head.
'why do this Ray sound more like Batman?', Neo looked astonished, the black robe that he's wearing, his wealth and also his attitude...yep definitely sounds like Batman.
The beautiful maid, gestured for him to follow her, as they walked inside the ship, Neo's eyes widened in astonishment.
As Neo steps inside the private cruise ship, he's immediately struck by how much the interior resembles a grand, luxurious home. The ambiance is warm and inviting, yet every detail exudes opulence.
Then the maid lead him to a huge corridor...
The entrance hall is expansive, with high ceilings adorned with intricate moldings and a grand crystal chandelier hanging above. The chandelier is a masterpiece, with countless crystals shimmering in the light, casting a soft, golden glow across the polished marble floors.
The walls are decorated with elegant, subtle patterns, and large, framed paintings of serene landscapes add a touch of artistic sophistication.
Long, plush corridors extend from the entrance, lined with deep, richly colored carpets that muffle footsteps, giving the space an air of tranquility. The corridors are softly lit by smaller chandeliers and ornate wall sconces, creating a warm, almost intimate atmosphere. Along the way, Neo notices beautifully crafted wooden doors leading to various rooms, each with a golden plaque indicating its purposeādining room, lounge, library, and more.
As Neo explores further, he encounters several other maids, each as beautiful and poised as the first. They move gracefully through the ship, their elegant uniforms tailored perfectly to their figures. Their outfits, though functional, are designed to highlight their beauty without being overtly flashy. Each maid seems to glide rather than walk, their presence enhancing the serene and luxurious feel of the ship. They greet Neo with warm, polite smiles, their eyes hinting at a depth of knowledge and skill beyond their roles as mere servants.
Finally, Neo is led to his residence within the ship. His quarters are surprisingly spacious, resembling a suite in a five-star hotel rather than a cabin on a ship. The decor is a tasteful blend of modern luxury and classic comfort. A large, king-sized bed dominates the room, covered in plush, high-thread-count linens in deep, soothing colors. A sitting area with soft, overstuffed chairs and a coffee table is set near the panoramic window, offering breathtaking views of the sea.
"Yo..this man is surely rich", Neo was bewildered.
The room is lit by another chandelier, though smaller and more intimate, with soft, warm light that bathes the space in a gentle glow. A walk-in closet, a marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub, and a small private study complete the suite, each space designed with the same attention to detail and luxury that defines the rest of the ship. The entire room feels like a sanctuary, a place where Neo can rest and reflect, surrounded by the quiet elegance and understated wealth that permeates the entire ship.
"Damm this is very excellent..", he said with wide eye as he inspected the closet "glad your master could find it comforting", she bowed, "please change imto one of these clothes and be with us in the dinning shortly", She bowed her head and left the room shortly after.
Neo smiled, the past 12 hours had been the most bizarre hours of his life, if someone had told him that onis exist he would have punched them right in the face but hear he was.
Funny enough all the occurrences didn't shake him to his core, maybe because he kept an open mind, Neo reflected on what the man told him,"Oni's..", he said eubbing his chin, 'if onis can really erase people.from existence then what about me, am i erased from existence?', that question lingered in his head.
Right now..he was in a glamourous ship, he had maids and one of them even called him master.
His mind also went back to that dream, the dream that he had when he was asleep on the plane, there was a man in a dark room, more like a void, and he said 'your destiny begins now', that was very strange and Neo didn't think about it too much at the time but now that he had a clear mind it came back to him.
'did that dream so happen to be true?', Neo thought, he decided to remove the thought and change clothes to go and meet Issac Newton's arch-nemesis namely Ray.
Neo was still wondering how he walked upon the air, that really startled him, but Neo too walked with him, but.. it felt like it was Ray that made him walk on the air.
Now that neo thought about it they both were Issac Newton's arch-nemesis.
He smiled as he began changing his cloths, he quickly changed cloth to what ever he saw in the closet which was a white shirt and a plain purple trousers.
He made his way to the corridor, he reached the downstairs to see a huge parlor, decorated with exquisite food and delicases, there were also people who had already at the table, people gathered there.
At least they at least seven of them they all sat around the round table seemingly lost in thought,'were they other people that somehow remembered the oni atracks', he thought, Ray had told him on the plane that there were certain people that could remember the Oni attack, these people were so called descendants of great heros that defeated A great demon.. blah blah blah.
Neo sat down at the table and looked around as his eyes darted to everyone seated on the round table they all, looked like they've seen a horror movie, that they been told by the doctor that they had a few days to live.
"I want to bring you all to the matter at hand", Ray said as he was as he suddenly appeared in one of the chairs startlingly everyone in the dinning table.
It seemed that Neo's experience was the least traumatic experience of the rest of them.
