"What exactly are you?"
"A android designed to care for you, assist you, and teach you," the dark-skinned woman, or rather android, said while we were both sitting face to face.
"And where am I?"
"In LLEUTHIA-0."
I leaned back in the chair, very comfortable by the way, the answers I needed were easily answered, and now I know that...
I'm screwed.
Horizon...zero dawn, I don't even know what year it is, although the android in front of me would tell me without thinking much.
"Tell me...what is the outside world like, currently?"
"Machines created by GAIA are free and fulfilling their functions, and humanity has already resurfaced and created small civilizations," the android replied without changing its tone, which was certainly terrifying.
I got up from the chair and looked around, the place was like all the ruins I have explored as Aloy, only...less ancient and more uh...not rusted?
"I want to know...who I am?"
"A clone of the man Ted Faro...and the only human in this facility."
"Faro..."
Ted playing God, but really this is more the action of a true God, after all, how else could I see the object roulette in the bottom left corner of my vision.
Is it really important to remember how I died? I don't even know, I died young at 18, but I suppose it was something peaceful because after waking from my sleep, I opened my eyes here...
Or maybe it's a dream...
"I detect discomfort and a bit of bewilderment."
And the damn robot can read body language, if I lie to it, it will know... it's best to stay quiet.
"I want to rest, please leave my room," I pointed to the metal door of my large room with my finger.
"Alright, get some rest, remember that tomorrow we will start the initial education for children under 5 years old," The android left the room with a quick step and the door behind her closed, showing a red light on what could be called the handle being locked.
I walked to the bathroom of the room and wasn't surprised to see that it was as spacious as the room from my past life.
I used a chair to be able to look at myself in the mirror, and the sight was somewhat tempting.
"Nice face, but the Faro genetics kind of scare me..." I ran my hands over the little face of a 4-year-old Faro, cute, with slightly red hair that was very silky and smooth skin, in addition to a curved and lovely nose.
"But if I don't take care of myself, I'll end up like the 'first' Faro."
I got off the small chair, undressed, and got into a large tub, and the water that came out was at the perfect temperature, a warmth that comfortably embraced my skin.
"But it's time to think... what did Faro do in this world and why am I here..." Please provide the text you would like me to translate.
"Not the why of arriving at Horizon but the why of this installation, as the android said, I am alone in this place so I could think that this is just a trick of Faro as he always did..."
In front of me, an option appeared in my vision, floating white words without any blue background like the common systems of fanfics, just words.
·Use soap·
And just by thinking about it, the words became clearer, allowing me to see through them, and the soap began to flow into the water automatically.
'System or rather a menu, like in the original game...'
I closed my eyes and after opening them, I could see a window as if it had been taken straight from the game itself.
The reddish color and the options, only that the skills part has been removed from this menu.
I pressed the map and it appeared completely foggy, only with a symbol of the ancient ruins in green, and the indication on the right that I am on level 8 of a place with 12 levels.
"Nice gift," I smiled with satisfaction, a menu, system, or even just a map; enough to be a weapon of mass destruction, the only problem?
I didn't play Forbidden West...
Don't get me wrong, no, it's just that I was very busy doing speedruns of Horizon Zero Dawn and just last night before appearing in this world, I managed to platinum it.
It was very boring to destroy those practice dummies.
But I do know some things, I know that Far Zenith arrived with the same humans, that there is another clone of Elisabeth Sobeck, and that those humans are fucking broken.
Excuse me, but IMPENETRABLE ENERGY SHIELDS? Or something like that... I didn't see enough spoilers to know what they are.
After a while of thinking, my body was completely clean and I got out of the water.
The place heated up, probably to dry the water quickly, it's as if it reacted to my body state.
I took some basic clothes, gray pants with a dark blue shirt, and left the bathroom without rushing.
I looked at the clock next to the enormous bed, it's really so big that's kinda awful to see.
9:34 PM
I lay down on the bed and didn't even need to grab any sheets when something appeared in front of me.
· Sleep ·
"This is a blessing..." I said before my head collapsed on the pillow.
______________________________________
Good morning
I opened my eyes slowly without any fatigue or even the desire to stay in bed for a moment longer.
I sat down and after stretching a few times, I got up and walked to the bathroom.
After taking toothpaste and using a digital toothbrush to brush my mouth, I took a moment to urinate and wash my face.
Ah! Today I start my studies, I almost forgot with so many things on my mind," I finished drying my face with one of the hundreds of towels in the cabinets and left the bathroom.
I looked at the room, as I said before, I didn't have enough energy for trivial things, until now.
A huge room, spacious with a high ceiling, a dark blue light that creates a relaxing space, the large bed that takes up space, a space where there is a large round table and chairs and furniture around it.
On the other side, a long bookshelf with a panel on one side, probably to view the book catalog.
And finally, the walls were made of glass, showing a bunch of fish passing by, and even on the floor of the large aquarium, a snapmaw, probably purifying the water.
"A place that only millionaires would have, although the lack of cyberwhores or television tells me they care about my innocence."
I turned around to see a wall that wasn't part of the aquarium, but had a small rectangular hole and a panel on one side.
I touched the panel and it showed me different types of drinks.
"Nice gift," I said with enthusiasm while choosing orange juice.
"Does this mean that?" I turned my head and could see on the other side of the bed another panel that I assumed was the food one.
I took the glass of juice and left it on the table to walk to the other panel.
This one was different, I could only choose from the options they gave me, I suppose they want me to have a good diet.
I took one that indicated fish eggs with rice and vegetable salad without any sauce.
I took the plate of food and sat at the table to eat quietly.
21 minutes
I took the empty plate and glass and headed to the food panel, placing the items in the rectangle. It closed and then opened again,empty.
"Very intuitive," I said while checking the time on the clock.
8:23 AM
"I guess it's time to study."
Everything happened quickly. As I left the room, an android was waiting for me and guided me to a room with a single chair in front of a table that I believe has a holographic panel included.
I sat at the table and saw that a name was engraved on it, Benjamin Faro.
'Nice gift, it's much better than Daniel Fritz.'
"The class session number 1 will start in 2 minutes."
I lay back in the chair with discouragement while thinking about how boring all this would be.
2 hours later
I left the study room with a surprised and somewhat dazed expression.
"It has been the best class of my life..."
Of course it would be, the class was about the cloning laws that were invented in 2039 by a person who also worked on the Zero Dawn project.
(AN: I don't remember their name, but I do know they worked for the sub-function ELEUTHIA)
It could also be that the teaching methods, after many years and designed by the most intelligent and capable people in the world, made the classes much better than I remember.
