Laboratory
Bright lights illuminated the entire laboratory. In the middle there stood some researchers, notes after notes they open. Their serious look strained the situation.
"Our experiment has almost reached its goal."Said a female researcher. She sat smiling in a chair, staring at the other researchers.
"So, what do you think, Mr. Shinomiya?"
"What do I think? Hm-this study raises many pros and cons-"
"That's not what I meant" cut her off, " what do you think, about who will test our time capsule?"
Everything fell silent. Of course, no one wants to try this crazy experiment, they have a family, once inside the time capsule they will never be able to get out. Liquid Nitrogen will instantly freeze their bodies, even so they will go into a hibernation phase, like bears facing winter.
"This-"
Everything fell silent. No one dared to raise their voice. "How about we find volunteers? Maybe there are some people who are losing hope and their lives are meaningless for themselves and others, what do you think, Chief Researcher?"
The old researcher's speech was already predicted by the female researcher. "What you said makes sense. But these experiments are classified and there's no way we can openly recruit people publicly, Mr. Shinazugawa."
"Then"
A man stands up. "How about we use 2 high-class prisoners to test this? Prisoners who have been confirmed to be executed."
That doesn't seem to be a problem. Keep in mind that this research is under the auspices of the government. The reason is to save humanity.
It is possible that the government will provide manpower assistance.

Isolated Prison
"Your death sentence is coming soon" the guard looked at the handcuffed man. But the man looked at him blankly and as if he didn't care even though the day of his death was in sight.
He quietly said,"What do I care?"
"Ck, you still have a big head, huh? Enjoy your pride before you can't be proud anymore, killer."
'What the fuck is that guard, noisy. Motherfucker, but yeah, I don't care, it's okay to die in this state of contentment.'
•••
2 years ago, this man was just an ordinary worker. Everyday is very normal.
He worked hard to support the only family left. His parents were researchers who died as a result of their experiments as if playing with death. They tested the first artificial intelligence that came close to humans.
"I see, well, I'll work on it soon" he listened attentively to the directions of his superiors. A smile did not leave his lips even though fatigue had haunted him for a long time.
"Sir *******! No more overtime."Said a woman who just got up from her seat. She waved as she left the office leaving the man alone.
"She's right, maybe it's time for me to rest too, my sister is also waiting, maybe" he said as he turned off the hologram computer in front of him.
Titttt
When he closes the door of the room, the light automatically turns off.
He walked, entered the elevator, walked along the streets a little wet from the rain. Sometimes he greets people he knows.
It was fun, he thought. Life without heavy burdens outside, work with pleasure, money income is not small and more than enough to live in this age.
"Until then" he said calmly, the house he rarely visited, his younger sister who was still in high school was inside.
However-
"I'll go first~"
Just before he opened the door, suddenly the door of the House opened and a young man came out from inside.
Be quiet for a moment.
"Eh"
His mumbled trying to digest what happened.
A young man, out of his house, little sister. 'What's going on, my sister -- she--'
He let the young man go just like that, but his anger had already peaked and entered with a stomp of the foot.
Sure enough, his sister was inside, staring in shock at him.
"Who?"The man looked intently at his sister, the sister he had always pampered. "Who was that boy?!"He said it intimidatingly.
"B-brother, I-I can -"
"Don't beat around the bush, Mika!"The tone is sharp and harsh. This was the first time he had spoken to his brother in anger.
"I never taught you anything like this" as if not giving his sister a chance to explain, "I'm disappointed, Mika." briefly while entering the House.
Throwing the dinner he just bought outside, his sister's favorite Burger.
No need to explain, he already knew that his sister was doing indecent things in this house.
"What I lack, I never educated her like this"
He knows that his sister is still in the puberty phase, a phase that wants to try everything out of curiosity. But that doesn't mean-
BRAK!
He closed the door of his room harshly.
Today it is completely destroyed.
The sister he had always pampered and never let go of him smile suddenly destroyed him.
Who is not devastated when they see the only family left doing taboo things like this.
Day by day passed.
"Ghah!"The man sipped his liquor again, again and again.
"Fuck!" It's like throwing an empty bottle in any direction.
This is his 20th bottle this week.
"Brother" called his sister. He looked up, knowing he was guilty of this. "I'm dissapointed, Mika."
"Noisy, you." The sharp gaze is still thrown by him, the disappointment is still stuck in his body. "Give me another drink." Throwing money at his sister.
Mika hesitantly took the money, her hands shook, her lips opened as if to say something but too afraid to speak.
But she said,"You better stop -"
"Stop drinking? Hah! It's my money! It's up to me!"Cut it roughly. "Hurry up and get me a drink! I'll kill you!"
Ah, that word came out too. A glimmer of guilt rose in his heart, saying something he had never said to Mika again.
•••
'After that, my sister went to buy me a drink with a heavy heart. I really didn't know my sister was innocent.' The man looked at his handcuffed hands.
He sighed heavily 'and again, my brother came home battered, her clothes as if forced torn but in her hand she still carried the drink I ordered.'
Sadness returned to his heart. 'In the end, I found out that if my sister was forced to do indecent things by some of her classmates, they stalked and took pictures of my sister in various conditions, they - threatened to expose photos of my sister's body if they did not comply with their wishes'
'I learned this fact when my sister breathed her last in my arms. It explains everything'
A guard opened his cell and looked at him disdainfully, 'I slaughtered the bully without mercy'
"You murderer, the chief of Police is calling you, stand up."
A few moments later he went into a room, white. Several people in lab coats sat in front of him along with the police chief.
"So, he's the one? Then what about the women?"Asked the researcher.
"As for which woman will follow, only she is already close to the time of her execution so.. you can take it," the police chief said.
"Wait, you should explain it to me."
"We will explain when we get to the lab, for now please follow us cooperatively." The female researcher who is of course the head researcher stands, "over here" she shows the way.
Well, he didn't care anymore, he followed them without a word. Until 2 hours later he got off the helicopter and entered the lab facility.
'Testing a time capsule? In other words I will be frozen and will wake up in a long time, and even then if I don't die and continue to be stable' he stared at the time capsule,
"I just need to get in, right?"
"Exactly. Come in and close your eyes. Before the liquid hydrogen fills the capsule, painkillers are injected."
Not saying much, he went into a sleeping capsule that resembled a coffin.
"The capsule will be activated in 5.. 4.. 3.."
He closed his eyes quietly. Don't know when it will wake up, this capsule has infinite energy, absorbing energy from the ground so that as long as the ground is still there, this machine will not die.
"2.. 1.."
Everything went dark.
Quiet, cold yet warm.
He's asleep. Falling into a deep dream.
How long will he sleep?
1 year? 100 years? 1000? Or even forever?
••••
D*te Unk+own
"Um..? Good day..?"
The sun shines on his face. The cold from the liquid nitrogen that had just enveloped his body was now gone.
Yawn? I don't know.
He looked at the people who greeted him. Young female, 14 to 16 years old.
Strange, that's all he could say. Seeing a strange woman with an unusual appearance. Greenish white hair, emerald green eyes, and what clothes are those?
"A dream, is it?"Muttered the man. "Look, sir. Why are you sleeping in that weird cold thing? Locked up, anyway." The woman said as she pulled the man's body out of the strange machine.
Looking around, he realized it wasn't a dream. That is, it is too real to be called a dream. "What year is it?" Ask the man to make sure. "Hm... Year..520 Spring" replied the woman.
No one will be happy to hear that. What year is it, like the year in the Outback customs. "Ad."
"Ad..?"When the woman frowned, she realized that her experiment was over and that it had worked, she had crossed time.
It's true, maybe. It used to be in a lab, but now it's a wilderness.
How far was he removed? It can't just be thrown away, right?
"You.. from where, anyway?" Ask the woman. "Ah, I also found another strange chest, but it contained only bones. Your friend?"
So many questions raised by him.
"Don't ask me, I don't remember anything."
That's a lie. It's the only lie he can tell right now.
Trying to stand, staring around.
"Ah, present! My Name Is Mizuri! A Dryad Ranger!"
This is the prologue to my story. What exactly happened? Dryad? What is it.
There are many things I still don't understand about today. What year is it.
My story starts from this point.
I will rewrite my story, improve my life from my old life.
The prologue ends, it's time to turn over a new leaf.
