"Right, so everyone, all the best, may you return victories from you journey," Dr. Sato said after finishing his long speech about everything we need to know in that another Universe.
Most of it was to be told by Lady Black but she just shifted the responsibility to him and is reading some book in the corner, I wonder what she is reading.
"Start the Machine," Sato said to someone from his microphone and soon, the ground just beside my seat started lifting itself up before it reach the same height as me.
What was revealed was a multi coloured orb, pulsing with different colours from time to time.
Taking a deep breath, I finally lifted my hand and put it on the orb as my heart started beating so wild that even I can hear it beating.
"Oh, and lastly, you must follow the golden rule, never disclose anything, even to a fellow batchmate if you meet them, through the chances of it happening is almost nil considering infinite universes and timelines."

A large screen appeared behind the doctor as soon as he finished with his last statement as the countdown from 10 started, and with each passing second, my goosebumps just increased even more.
"Hey Evan..." Suddenly, someone called for me, as I reflexively looked towards Emma who was facing towards me with her eyes closed.
"Hmm?" I asked, while also keeping an eye on the clock.
[8]
"I just wanna say take care..." She said as I nods to her before looking back ahead on the screen.
[5]
"And also..."
[3]
"and also that you are... No failure, you are just perfect as you are... So, just survive, okay? Survive... For me."
[1]
"What do yo-"

Blank... It was all blank the very next instance, my mind, soul, body, everything went blank.
All around me, was just darkness, a never ending streak of darkness totally consuming me from all directions.
'Is that what it feels like to die? Wait, am I actually dead? Ah, my thoughts are getting foggy.'
[YOU ARE BEING WATCHED]
The sudden appearance of the text startled me, but as soon as they appeared, the darkness all around me vanished as soon as they came.
'Someones watching me,' As this thought appeared in my mind, the screen flashed again, this time being even more overbearing, it felt as if it's this screen itself which is watching me but I know that someone on a faraway planet is watching me.
[YOU ARE BEING WATCHED]
I get it, and let me go through you alien from unknown planet.
['THEY' ARE INSPECTING YOU]
Why the fuck are you inspecting me? Hello? Are they some creepy aliens?
['THEY' ARE INTRIGUED BY YOUR BODY]
['THEY' ARE INTRIGUED BY YOUR MIND]
Wait, there was no mention of these lines. All Dr. Sato said that they will inspect you and let you pass through as if it's some checkpoint.
Oh, and they will leave you with the warning too in the end.
['THEY' DECIDED TO WATCH YOU CLOSELY]
[@_@_@ SUGGESTED FOR YOU TO BE ADDED TO '#-₹:€√%+ SYSTEM']
This... this isn't what they told. There was no mention of such beings, is it even aliens? And what's this system they are talking about.
[+-+-+ HAS ACCEPTED THE SUGGESTION]
[√π HAS ACCEPTED THE SUGGESTION]
[BASIC CONDITION BEEN MET]
[YOU HAVE RECEIVED PERMISSION FROM THREE VIEWERS]
[YOU HAS BEEN ADDED TO SOS]
Now what the hell is that? Ahh, my head hurts, they are all just so noisy, I am not even sure if they really are aleins anymore.
[THEY WILL LET YOU CROSS]
Ah, I know this will, but it was supposed to be said after they are inspecting you. Well, whatever, I am getting so sleepy.
Was there such a side-effect? No one mentioned that, is it due to listening to this voice?
No, I can't sleep, I have to get to safety first, or other wise, other... wise... Ah, A little 5 minutes nap won't hurt right? No! I can't... I have to... stay... awake...
.
.
.
In an unknown world's grasslands where there's only grass as far as eye could see in one direction and a river flowing in the middle.
Evan lay there unconscious beside the rive bed.
"Holy shit!!" I shouted as soon as I wake up, realising that I had slept a while ago when I was about to arrive in another world.
"Can't believe I slept..." I said to myself as soon as I woke up and looked around, "It's seems I got transported to a safe place, and who dressed me up?"
'Weird... These are not my clothes. I am sure mine were destroyed as soon as I left my world?' I thought to myself wondering what could be the cause of me wearing these clothes.
Anyways, not like I am complaining, these look classy enough, a white shirt with a black pant, with these oversized blue robe, not my preferred type but still better than being naked.
"Oh yeah, I should check this out," I thought as I tapped the place between the eye and ear to activate the mechanical eye they fit inside me.
Mind you its not just any mechanical eye but a combination of machine and human biology making it the part of my body to the cellular level.
[Name:- Evan
Age:- 17
Current Body Status:- Healthy
Mind Assasimilation Level:- 0%
Talent:- Not enough information
Deadline:- Not enough information (23 : 12 : 43)]
Yea, that was it. Name, age and body condition are easy enough to understand and as for Mind Assasimilation Level, it means how much of my mind is connected to myself of this world.
The more it is, the dangerous it is for me because for the first 50%, I am the one who had the dominance in my thought and that's the main time frame for the mission.
As for the next 50%, my counter part has more dominance in my thoughts, through that might change depending upon talent as 50-50 ratio is for the most common Gold talent.
Common not because mostly people get this talent but because most of those who survives have atleast gold talent.
Talent in mind Assasimilation level is divided into 6 levels, starting with Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Wood and lastly, Crystal.
As for the deadline, it's as the name states, is my deadline in this world and if I cannot finish my mission in this deadline, instead of being able to get the source of my doppelganger, he will get my source.
My deadline will be calculated based on the mind Assasimilation level as a super computer will calculate not only my talent but also calculate the deadline it will take for the mind Assasimilation to reach 100%, when he gets my source.
So yea, all three of these are connected, mind Assasimilation determine my deadline and deadline depends upon talent in mind Assasimilation, when deadline reaches 0 and mind 100%, the doppelganger gets my source.
As for the 1 day count down? It means I have to Assasimilate minds with myself of this world in that time limit or this universe will erase me too considering a foreign entity.
And as soon as I Assasimilate minds for the first time, both the talent and deadline will be calculated.
"Ah... My head hurts..." I thought as I closed it by tapping at the same place as I decided to use mind Assasimilation after finding myself a safe and secure place.
Doing it here, in the grasslands seems to be kind of... risky even though I have been sleeping here peacefully for like 40 minutes or so.
"What's this?" I asked myself, looking at the small 'O' letter in the forner of my eye. At first, I thought it's a part of my 'eye' which projects image straight on my eye but even after closing it, it's still here.
As soon as I focus on it, a new screen opened up in front of him, clearly different from my eye screen, and it certainly was a shocking event.
