259 Welcome to New Life (1/2)
I tried to open my eyes but... but I can't open it.
I... I can't breathe! My lips are sealed together and my nose is plugged by something cold. my whole body is freezing cold!
After doing my best, I was able to open my mouth but my lips left wounds from forcing them to open. The thing on my nose suddenly started to melt. I was able to breathe finally! I thought I would die from that.
I opened my eyes and it's all hazy. My body's so stiff that I can't even move my fingers. Where am I and what on earth is happening?!
I tried to calm myself and waited for a while and I... I think I can move now. I slowly moved my hands and I can tell that my whole body is wet and I'm so cold.
I heard a high pitched ring inside my ears, looks like my senses are starting to work again. Then the sound is getting louder.
It's... It's not normal noise, I can hear people crying and shouting looking for help! What the hell is going on?!
I looked around and it seems that I'm inside a half-opened capsule, am I in some kind of futuristic sh*t? Everything is unusually surreal. I slowly got out of the capsule and removed the helmet thing on my head which is totally soaked.
I'm... I'm inside a lab.
*BANG BANG*
I heard someone banging on the door from the other side. I stood up trying my best not to fall. I looked at the glass in the middle of the door and...
It's... Akko!
”H... ugh... h...” I can't say a word. It's like my throat is dried as hell.
Wait... how can I unlock this?! I checked the room and there's a keycard on the table. The room is covered in dust and molds. This place looks like it hasn't been taken cared of for a very long time.
I tried sliding the card to the keyhole but it won't do anything! The power is out! What did I even try.
”Scy... use... crowbar...” I heard her faint voice but I think I got it. I saw one beside the capsule.
I stuck the crowbar to open the door and even my body hasn't recovered yet, with good force, I was able to open the door.
”Scy! Thankfully, you're ok!” Akko, my love, hugged me.
I kissed her even with my lips are bleeding. The feeling is so different from the game. Staying for a hundred years inside, I can say that this is the first time I've felt this strong emotion for the first time. Wait... what am I even saying?!
”We need to get out of here fast. This place is not safe for all of us.” I can tell that she's really panicking right now and everyone around us.
”Wai... Wait. Relax, can you explain what is happening?” I asked.
”There's no time to explain! I saw people getting hacked to death by some weird looking people. They look like elves inside the game but this is different. This is real. If we die here, we'll die forever.” She said crying. No... no... I can't let that happen!
”Don't worry. You have me. Let's go.” Trying to give her hope to survive. I held her hand tight. I will not let anyone harm Akko.
We went outside and everyone is in a panic. People are running towards one direction and it seems that we are going to the top of the building.
”It looks like the people you are talking about are from below and they are heading towards the top. Let's go there for now and let's see what will...”
”GAAHHH!” What the hell?! She's right, three long-eared humans are here slaughtering people! A person died from a single stab from the back. They're catching up!
”We need to get out of here fast. Let's go!” I exclaimed and both of us are now running towards the stairs.
In an instant, I felt tremendous pain and upon checking it... my... my arm?! My right arm that is holding Akko's hand was cut off! This is... this is real!
”Oops, it looks like there will be no more lovey-dovey moment this time.” I looked at my back and they caught Akko! There are five of them now!
”Let me go!” She cried! Damn it!
”KYAAAAH!” One of them slapped Akko while holding her hand! The force of the hit made Akko lose her strength and almost fell but the guy is still holding her hand and she's hanging now!
”F*CK YOU!” I held the freaking crowbar tightly and tried to smash it to the head of one of them but...
A loud noise echoed through my left ear and I fell to the floor. F*ck... what happened... All is getting hazy again...
”Say goodbye to your sweetheart because you're next.” The guy kicked the wall and it shattered creating a hole. Outside... is bright red...
”Don't worry. She'll just burn to death outside. Everyone here will die!” Ugh... I can't move...
He grabbed Akko's neck and then slowly lifted her up! I saw how Akko tried to struggle while she's trying to gasp for air! He's going to drop her! Damn you, Sh*t! You will all pay for this! You will all pay!
