I don't like my life. I'm 40 years old and I think I have peaked.
I'm Luci Titangenl and I'm an Aircraft Pilot with 3 year of experience in the Military and 5 years of being an Aircraft Mechanic.
I was first in the Military because it was mandatory for 3 year to get a better eduaction and I was working with the maintenance of the Helicopters and some Combat Aircraft with supervisions. After the military I began job hunting and was accepted from abroad.
I was pleased with the company that I was working for because they also monitored if there were assholes in the working place. I accumulated a lot of money by working overtime and sometimes I work in the night shift where work becomes even more intensive because that's the time where the airplanes stop operating for the day.
I was curious about manning an Airplane that is why after 2 years of working for the company I asked they if they have a program where an employee can study and work under them.
They have this kind of program but they would only allow the employee to work half a day and no overtime to give a space for lectures.
It was not hard, at least for me. The company was providing other programs for Private License and Commercial License that I went through before I was accepted as a First Officer next to the Captain who was still teaching me more about tips in the cockpit.
It was lovely. Until I wanted more. I wanted to go towards the stars. The technology was not eligible enough for Intergalactic Transportation.
I wasn't interested in the nearby planets with no life, I was interested in other Solar Systems.
So I waited. It still hasn't arrived. But I am still hopeful. Even now. I just can't help feeling down after waiting for more than 10 years and it is still not possible.
I have tried to use role-playing as a supplement so I always keep myself updated to Space Travel Technology. It would be funny if a Space War broke out first before Space travels become commercial.
....
I'm tired. I'll go sleep for now.

As Luci Titangenl places himself on his mattress, he suddenly becomes invigorated.
He is shocked by his renewed energy, so he gets off his bed to stand and inspect what happened but suddenly he is not in his bedroom anymore.
He is standing in front of a huge ornate gate made out of green metal but with no human language etched onto it. Luci tries to push it but he fails because of his strength not being enough to move it.
Luci looks behind for another exit but he sees a black haired man with his eyes closed, sitting on a comfortable looking pillow with his knees pointing forward and his legs tucked behind and neatly dressed in yellow and blue like a Chinese Emperor.
Luci: Hello there. Do you know why I am here?
The man did not answer him. Luci then places the man in high authority just in case there might be a chance that this man was the man who kidnapped and took him here.
However, Instead of talking further to the man, Luci tries to open the gate but instead of pushing it, he tries pulling it.
The gate opened much more easily but he didn't like what's on the other side. He saw the Imperial looking man now staring at him with a genuine smile. Luci turns around and sees the same thing from the man.
Luci closes the gate and approaches the man.
Luci: Now that I got your attention. Do you know why I am here?
? : I brought you here.
Luci is surprised and continues to ask questions.
Luci: Why? May I ask who you are as well?
?: Zhong.
Luci: Okay, may I why I am here Mr. Zhong? I was about to sleep but with the energy you gave me, I think you need me for something.
Zhong: Of course, I need you to make a wish for me.
Luci stares at Zhong because of his weird request. That's not typically what he expects from people like him asking for something but he'll humour him.
Luci: I want space travels in my world to be possible.. and make world peace come true and hunger be hard to comeby.
Luci sweats as he almost sold the bag for his obsession for Space travels. But he didn't, he is glad that he managed to put it there even if he wanted more out of it.
Zhong: Your wish is granted. Now you'll have to do something for me in return.
Luci is a bit afraid about his man because he might just be a man who lost his mind but he continues with the flow.
Luci: Whatever you wish for Mr. Zhong.
Zhong raises his right hand to Luci before flicking his finger to which a beam of light flies off and hits Luci in the forehead. It was information that Zhong wanted for Luci to do in his stead. To help humanity from another world from the crossed infection.
Luci: Fuck no, I'm not crazy.
Zhong: You would be doing everyone a favour if you do.
Luci: How about you do it yourself?
Zhong: Many worlds would be destroyed by my presence. Also I'm giving something else to prepare.
Luci: No. I'm not doing it, let me go back.
As he refuses Zhong, Luci tries to look for a way out of the room. He opens the gate to see if there are differences from the other room but there was no difference between the two rooms besides the other is inverted to the other.
After searching for 10 minutes and with no way out he turns the Zhong.
Luci: Why me man?! Why can't you choose someone else?
Zhong: Please understand that you are special and people like you are special. I can't choose someone native to that universe because they are going to die no matter what they do in the end because they are tied to their world.
You on the other hand are different compared to your neighbours in your universe, if you die, you travel through not only universes but the infinite worlds and even to those worlds that I have no knowledge in.
Zhong sighs and looks to Luci's eyes for understanding.
Zhong: They don't even have the ability to pass to another universe much less a world and after they die, they will just die and never go to any heaven because heaven was not established in your world.
Luci: Dude since that world is at stake, how about you use other species to do this. Even if it's no human who will save them it works right? Ask a dragon or something competent.
Zhong: Luci, that world has no time to wait for you. Either you are in with this plan or they will be doomed.
Luci: Please don't let me go their Mr. Zhong. I really don't want to be in that world. I don't want to lose my shit just by being there. I seen the comic and that unnerved me, I even saw accidents in real life where people got the upper half of their skull demolished by a truck and I was barely functioning.
Zhong: Don't downplay yourself, Luci. You were driving at 30 km/h and you didn't crash while being traumatised. You focused and locked in. I need that part of you as well.
Luci cries and begs for Zhong again but Zhong becomes even more adamant for Luci to go.
Zhong: I won't be sending you there as yourself, I am preparing you as well.
After Zhong finished, a rectangular hologram floats between both of them. Luci reads the contents and breaks down into even more tears after leading into a conclusion.
Luci: Oh God, I'm being turned into a plaything.
Zhong immediately stands up after Luci's harrowing cry and embraces Luci to calm him down.
Zhong: No Luci, I'm not going to do that. This is just a more simplified version of the help that I am going to give you.
Luci: This shit is D&D. The fuck do you think I was going to think after seeing this?
Zhong: Do you want Pathfinder instead?
Luci: No!! I don't want both, not any of this.
Zhong is frustrated that he can't predict Luci's mind and afraid that they won't have much time so he asks Luci again with a straight face.
Zhong: Luci pick now before it is too late.
Luci immediately calms himself upon seeiZhong'ands seriousness and uses a minute to do so. He separates with Zhong and goes to see the hologram again.
The level was only 5 out of 20. There seems to be a multiclass since Ranger 5 is already filled with 2 more spaces left. He picks Fighter and Monk to see the effects but he was rewarded with nothing as upon picking them Zhong punches the floor and throws him into the hole.
