The roaring engine of the approaching bus slowly drifted me back to reality my eyes flickered open as i felt a sharp pain in my neck
"What?"
Barely standing up with my legs shaking i touched my neck feeling something warm sliding down it
But touching my neck I felt no injury, none physical at least.
Was I assaulted? Where is.. I touched my pockets to take my phone, a thing i do when anxiety is getting closer to me and as my breathing got harsher
I frantically looked around but found nothing as the bus stopped in front of me
306… Where did that woman disappear?
"Hey kiddo, ya entering or no?"
"Ye.. Yes, I'm entering." I looked left once again to the place where the woman left her heels earlier,yet saw nothing this time then stepped inside the bus as i heard the slight beeping of the central and last doors closing
I went past the bus driver, seeing there were a couple of other passengers five in total all looking kinda anxious.. Weird? their looks were down, everyone was quiet and without a phone almost as if turned off
Well… it is late i guess
"Hey kid." The driver who was now behind me, facing the road asked "Ya alright? Looking kinda pale you know."
I annoyingly turned around. I hate this day.. I really fucking do "Yeah sir, im alright… Thanks for asking..?" I then turned around again to go to the last row of the bus but stopped and looked at the bus window, at myself.
Wha-... I slightly shivered as i was as pale as one could get, and the person sitting alone in the seats for four looking down was also as pale as snow
Then in my mind i heard whispers rock
Paper
Scissors
then laughter
I looked around the bus as it accelerated, realizing everyone was as pale as I was. I looked back at the driver "Sorry Mr… I actually forgot something. Could we stop, please?"
he moved down his black cap he earlier didn't have and quietly whispered "No can do son."
"W-WHY NOT!?"
At that moment something exploded from my left side, it was a car lit on fire which exploded seemingly right before the police escort line was getting closer, making them stop.
"It's too dangerous to…"
I sighed hearing the police sirens of both the approaching and already there cars then went all the way back taking a seat right next to the window and looking at the emerging chaos outside leaning against the hard plastic seat of the bus as it accelerated
When i searched for my phone in the pockets as something buzzed
How expensive will the screen be? Will I even be able to afford it.. And that creep just dipped like that instead-
Then something once again exploded, stopping on the red light i looked left to the speeding police van which got intercepted by people, protestors in clown masks, thankfully between the four lanes was a stone wall, with emerging metal green walls from it but holes as well making it easier for people from both sides to look over to the next
"Pagan raiika, to think he'd do something like this… What a.. Fun time to be alive."
The bus accelerated to escape from the scene as two white vans drifted left from an intercepted street and opened fire on the police not even opening the van doors but instead making bullet holes through the white van doors
Speeding away I blinked as I saw thousands of protestors getting closer to the earlier scene the whole western toad was stopped, and soon to follow will be the eastern as well as cars already stopped on the right lane making the left lane to be the only working one all in masks of a clown and signs which wrote "Say no to corrupt government.. And corruption kills huh."
I smiled as I leaned my head back and closed my eyes "I wonder if a war will start again…"
Then i felt my conscious fading once again, slowly opening my eyes i saw smoke going into the bus
"The protestors?" I quickly turned my head sighing a sigh of relief seeing we left the small group way behind but then turned once again forward to see the driver pull his cap down with a sly smirk then closed my eyes as the smoke got thicker
Then i felt a slight cold yet warming morning breeze against my cheeks and opening me eyes i was greeted by the shining blue morning sky and trees quietly waving around because of the slight wind
I looked around not knowing what's happening as a cold sweat dropped down from my brown eyes. Am I dreaming?
Then remembered the slight sly smirk the bus driver had making me shiver a bit Kidnapped? Hardly.. i shaked my pockets trying to search for the phone when the phone the woman gave me fell down to the almost freshly cut grass
Isekai? ... No surely not..
I looked around the forest, with its tall trees appearing almost as if they were touching the sky, magically in a way.
There is no one around… Besides, she did give me this… I shaked out my other pocket but to no avail. It's the only tool I can use for help… I opened the phone, which immediately leaded me to homepage with only one app, not phone call, not messaging app heck even youtube but instead
"Killer coin…" A once famous MMORPG with millions of players huh.. Because of its frustrating hard AI, almost too real for a game it quickly lost popularity…. because of that the servers shut down and it went into history as a trashy and quickly forgotten game.. But because of its hard layers of gameplay many loved it, even going as far to try and create copies only to later disappear… Leading to only moderators and administrators having the access but
I remember an organization started selling premium phones around late.. 2037 was it.. Right before the massive virus in 2038 which wiped a good percentage of earth's population….
BUUUUUT setting aside its rarity, and the small treasure I got in my hands.. WHO THE FUCK ONLY HAS ONE SHITTY GAME ON THEIR PHONE? HUH? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH IT GOOOOOOOOD DAMN IT!?
I stood up as the bird chirped away south east
I'm dreaming RIGHT? YES I'M DREAMING DARN IT I slapped myself AS A GREAT MASTER ONCE SAID.. "Wakey wakey…" No? maybe.. "ARISE FROM THE ETERNAL SLUMBER!!!".. NO? Dang it…
