64 Corruption gate (1/2)

[ 1s ]

...….

It happened too fast, a flash of light overwhelmed my vision, and in the next second I opened my eyes, I was already in a different place all over.

I couldn't see anything around me as it was pitch dark, all I could sense with my perception was that there were two walls on each side, other than that it was too quiet to tell.

[Want some light? Easy peasy!]

Just as I heard the familiar voice once again, the place was lit up, and the source of that light was surprisingly on my shoulder.

[What are you looking at? Want a picture?]

A small lizard that looked like a worm was standing there, it was red in color, and shining like a firefly. It was the source of the voice….

”Zero?..”

[Who else would I be?!]

”I thought you were just an AI wired to my brain or something, you were actually a lizard?....pfft”

I tried to suppress my urge to laugh as I teased the lamp looking lizard.

[Humph, the system space is basically managed by me, that's why I didn't need to appear to talk to you, but upon transfer every AI takes a shape of an infant creature, our role is to assist with nonsensical tasks such as this and support with allowed information as said before.]

'A convenient tool bag, huh….'

I whispered to myself while staring...

[Did you say something?!]

'Hmmm, his hearing is too good'

”Nothing, just…. What sort of creature's infant are you supposed to be? A lizard?”

[what lizard?! I'm a dragon! A drrraggonnn!]
