"Hey bitch, I lost my ball can you find it?"
"What.... What did you say? Say that once again, and I swear you are not gonna be walking on any leg soon!"
His mom scolded and slapped his cheeks.
The stupid boy cried and ran from his house.
"Ahh! It hurts!"
He ran away, arriving to the forest as tall verdant greeted him in the way, the branches kept on waving their prickly hands to him.
But to him, he views them as large hands like the ones from his nightmares, having grotesque texture pack and long pointy nails!
"Damn it! Someone horribly modded this VR! Except...this isn't a VR!"
The boy was scared and scarred! He doesn't like hands! He kept being slapped by a certain someone because he is a piece of shit!
"No! Not the trippy grippy hands!"
He kept on running and everything around him started to become distorted.
It escalated so quick.
The boy looked around frantically — panicking. "What the fuck?! What is happening?!"
His surroundings became disoriented and the swapped of colors can be seen with every surroundings.
He lost his balance, as his vision keeps on being inverted by whatever this strange phenomenon is. He felt his stomach churning and then vomited rainbows out of his mouth.
The sounds of footsteps can be heard deep in the forest, every heavy step he takes feels like the earth quaking at a magnitude forty in the perspective of the boy.
"Haha! It worked! My experiment actually worked!!"
This man came to the vision of the boy who is currently lying on the ground, he can't even look the man in the eyes, all he can see is the man wearing thick leather boots.
This man put some chemicals in the forest like planting artificial mushrooms filled with drugs that makes one very sleepy like taking a massive radioactive gas! And that is not a way to described how incredibly and incomprehensibly dizzy this boy is!
"With this, I can finally have a test subject for my newly invented creation!"
The man laughs in the forest, his voice echoes and scares away the birds!
Newly invented creation? Test subject?! Is he being abducted by some sort of mad scientist?!?
What the fuck! Get me out of here!
How did it suddenly escalated to this?!
The boy's sweat of beads couldn't contain the nervous he had in his eyes! Biggest regret before he dies: 'Being a goddamn brat and a crybaby!'
He was then carried by the madman he had encountered and kept on laughing on the way, before knowing it, due from too much nervousness, he fainted...
The boy woke up on a stiff bed, no cushions beneath his nape. He just had the worst nightmare!
He tried to move but he was contained tightly by a hazmat suit, it was purely white and it feels scaringly uncomfortable.
The tightness it gave was at a next level! He can't move a single muscle in his body.
He then turned his head to the right as that is the only joint of muscle he is able to move, his mouth is also being covered by an acetate — rendering him unable to speak.
"Can't believe I'm being contained here! Am I going to fucking die?! I live such an unlucky life but alas, I'm also going to die an unfortunate death!!?"
He doesn't hear anything else besides the gears of a certain wheel motoring some sort of machine, and above him was a very bright luminescent, and a humongous bulb that can be as bright as a sun.
The moment he looked at it, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Footsteps can then be heard on the door, the footsteps were just as heavy as the boy remembered, he hasn't saw his face yet, he can only wait for the cold anticipation the moment that mad scientist had arrived on the scene.
As every thump has felt like the ticking clock of every second had passed, the mad scientist finally arrived in the room.
The boy's head tried to move to where the direction of the footsteps is, but to his surprise, the mad scientist .... is wearing a biohazard helmet that covers his face entirely, as every step he took, the boy could feel his heart beating faster and faster.
"Oh, you are finally awake..."
The scientist finally spoke, his voice was, surprisingly more calmer than the boy would have thought, compared to when they were in the forest, where the voice was much more gruffy and terrifying.
"I don't have to ask anything, since you are pretty much contained, even your mouth wouldn't move a single muscle.." He stated the obvious and took a sit beside him.
"Moving straight to the point, you are questioning why I'm doing this right? Do I intent to harm you? That's pretty much you would think by now, considering how scared shirtless you were back then." He jested and then made a slight chuckle.
"Since you are still a kid, you probably already experience the wonders of having strong imagination, right? That living fantasy inside your head that you daydreamed of that you wanted them to be occurring in your reality..
Heh, as they have said — reality is often disappointing. We couldn't live inside our own fantasy, having cool magical powers, cool abilities, wondrous adventures.
But too bad in reality, we are being restricted to use our full creativity, as life gets longer and longer, the more you realized how hard your life becomes, you felt like everything, even the coincidences and odds are against you, and thus, you couldn't even live to wonder anymore.."
The boy listened intently to the man's rambling and thought, "What the fuck is he talking about? Is this scientist truly that mad in the head that he started talking to himself?"
"Hmph, a kid like you probably wouldn't know what I'm talking about..."
"Sigh, I'm already a grown man yet I'm still thinking about this, till this day" He then got up and moved the boy's stretcher towards another.
The boy's anxiousness was palpable, this scientist just talked about some weird, ominous stuff and then he suddenly taking him to who knows where? Who knows what this scientist is planning on doing next?
The scientist didn't have the audacity to ask him his name, and also what is this about newly invented creation stuff? Is that where the scientist is gonna test him.
The moment the scientist took him to a large ass door, the scientist bust the door open and what the boy saw made his jaw internally dropped.
How is this even real??
I only see this within the science fiction and stuff??
Who knows what this portal is even made of and how he did this thing??
Yes, its a whole portal, its big, about the size of a modern house!
"Here it is, the project that I have been continuously and tirelessly building on for decades! Its finally complete.."
The boy looked at the portal with widened eyes, "What is this portal?! Where the hell will it even take me?!"
He started shaking, though the portal may look very enchanting at first look, but things that are enchanting can sometimes lead to something deadly, though it is enchanting, who knows what lurks inside?
The scientist looked at him, though his mask covered his eyes, the look he gave was very serene.
But to the scientist perspective, he was looking at someone special to him, but to the boy, he knows this guy is about to shove him into the portal.
"You have finally achieved it, me, your childhood dreams, the colorful vast oceans that shines even at the face of night, the luscious and enchanting forest that attracts even the darkness, this is the harmony you wanted l, right? Your biggest fantasy..."
The boy can barely hear what he is saying, after all, his ears are even covered by the suit that's been tightly contained through him.
For one's fantasy to occur, one's reality has to be sacrificed.
The scientist created a portal to the fantasy world, but in order to activate it, in order for the portal to function properly, one's soul with a living fantasy that lingers within his heart needs to be taken, and thus the other one can walk through the land of the soul's fantasy.
This was the great cost in order to activate the portal, the world lives in a realm of fantasies and imagination not through dimensions, and then they will build the world.
The scientist knows the boy don't know him and thus, his cost wouldn't be as impactful, but to him it was a grand one.
The scientist then began to pull a lever and before they both knew it, his vision goes white and a deafening sound kept on ringing in his ears.
He is dead.
But the boy, before he knew it, he was launched on the stretcher.
Sproing!
His heart skipped a beat as the stretcher propelled him onto the portal, the boy closed his eyes as due to the natural anticipation of being slammed against the wall.
His vision goes white, and before he knew it, he was outside of some place.
The boy stands up from the ground and spits some few grasses as being transported here, he fell face flat on the ground, and another thing is, he is still contained by the hazmat suit. Even the hazmat was brought in with him!
He even see that the stretcher he has been laying down on previously, was already fucking demolished onto the verdant grasses.
And though he has been contained, he no longer feels the tightness of the ropes and so, he got out freely and then when he got out of the hazmat suit, his body now feels fresh compared to the heat the hazmat suit gave to him, due to his anxiety rising up, the temperature also increased and thus he can't breathly in that hazmat suit, but now, he can move around.
He darted around the place and his eyes widened, it was clear that he is around a forest, but normal forest? That's a bad way to put it.
The leaves were blue and the woods of it are slightly pink in color, the grass is green but the tree's leaves clearly aren't!
The sky is azure blue just as the normal earth looked like, but even in the skies, something is different, there are two suns shining up above, the other one was much more relatively smaller than the other one, but rather, all of them together were still rather bright.
All of those aside, the boy darted his head around and questioned.
"Where am I?..."
