Chapter 180 Trapped
Roan rushed to his room and logged back into the game.
Grave opened his eyes and looked around. To his shock, he did not find himself in the dungeon master room or the empty void.
It was something new. He was still floating. As he looked up, he saw a green sky, and looking down, he saw a purple sky.
He found himself floating between these 2 endless skies. But the thing was, he was not in either of those skies. There was a black void a few 100 meters wide that separated skies from merging.
He felt this void being the same. Maybe his position did not change, but these 2 skies. He looked at the front and get stunted from the scene. He realized both the Green and Purple skies had many clouds floating and moving. Holy fck, they were moving toward the void like they wanted to merge but the void strip stopped them in doing so.
Being in the black void, he felt both the skies were trying to crush him.
He looked at the green sky, there were many colossal clouds there. These massive clouds moved to the edge and the moment they touched the tiny void strip, they just disappeared.
On the other hand, the purple sky had many small clouds rushing into the void like a meteor shower. He looked at all this in shock he could not believe he was still not out of that trapped space.
He tried to move and to his surprise, he could move his body this time, but only an inch of movement was max. He clenched his fist and used his nails to dig into his palm to give him some shock to get out of this illusion word, but nothing much happened.
He found thou moment was possible, but he did not have enough power. He was helpless.
He saw a massive cloud falling at him from the green sky. It was so big that looking at it he felt suffocation of getting crushed. The cloud moved toward him, increasing that feeling, but the moment it touched the black void, it was gone disappeared out of existence.
This made him look down at the purple sky and there he found many small ball size clouds rushing at him. They gave him the feeling that they would shred him with many holes in his body. Then the next moment, all of them touch the large back void and disappeared the moment they collide.
Not wanting to feel anything, he focused on looking at the wide black void in between these 2 skies.
This made him remember the loneliness. He slowly got distressed. He shut closed his eyes and started waiting for him to get up looking at the red light. Tick. tick. tick time passed. Nothing happened.
He opened his eyes wide. He was not losing himself like the first time. \'Don\'t tell me I need to endure all this. No, there must be some other way to lose myself right.\' Thinking about all that, he started staring at the void to lose in that loneliness like the first time. After staring at the void for so long, he realized that thou he felt that loneliness, it never reached the point of swallowing him.
Not giving up, he changed his target to the green sky and continued looking at the colossal cloud coming at him, making him feel suffocated. The more he looked at them, the more he felt like a speck of dust that could die at any moment and instead of calming him down, this agitate him further. The more he looked at the sky, the more his heartbeat increased.
Dhuk dhuk dhukl dhukkk…
He started hearing a loud heartbeat, and his eyes pupils were wide open. He was about to reach the critical stage but then unknowingly he blinked. This changed his focus. It moved from seeing the colossal clouds to how they unknowingly disappeared from touching the void.
He found this all interesting and stated at the point sky and void met. His heart rate returned to normal, and he even started feeling slightly excited.
After some time, he came back to sense. \'Fck me. I was this close to moving out from here, but damn, at the last moment my brain technique messed things up.\'
In his last life, he had trained himself to do a re-set in extreme conditions and let the logical part work more than the emotional part. This saved him from the killer shock, but here, that same thing made it impossible for him to get out.
He looked around and realized so many things were going around that he could not reach to the point of getting shocked. For an emergency exit mechanism to work on the pod, he needed to get agitated
Not wanting to lose hope, he stared down at the purple sky. The shower of small clouds there made him feel like he would get multiple holes in his body.
He started getting scared the more he looked at them; he felt how the bigger size made him a more easy target, even started to question why he was so big. He reached the point where he started sweating and at this moment he looked at the void and the next thought was how million of these were powerless and were nothing in front of the true power of the void.
He looked at the meeting point, feeling excited about the power of the black void. After that, he once again realized he messed up.
"Wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," he screamed at this, and to his relief, he could hear some gibberish sound.
"Wawajwawjaw, "the gibberish sound came to his mind. He started shouting, singing with little free movement. He even started to pinch his thumb with his middle finger.
"Wafatfg eafaefg wafaerf w" This gibberish relaxed him a little, and then he got tired a little after some time.
He once again looked at the 3 different worlds feeling different emotions to the point of losing his sanity but not crossing the last line. He started screaming once again and repeat this step. These things cause so much chaos in his mind that he stopped thinking altogether. He felt like 1 day passed and he was desperately waiting to get logged out but in reality, only 5 minutes passed since he login the game.
After 30 mins, Roan loosed his voice in the game. His eyes were wide open, and they slowly moved from one thing to another.
1 hrs later, Roan stopped doing any moment and just stared at the void with a black face. Then after some time only to get shocked and looked at one of the skies and then at the joining point. He closed his eyes next and finally once again to the staring at void.
There was nothing left for him to expect to repeat this step.
