Chapter 37: The New World
Chapter 37: The New World
After I came out of that huge door, an entirely new world opened up before me.
It was crowded with watchtowers and soldiers everywhere, carrying their weapons with them. There were not only humans but also different hybrids.
It stunned me for a moment, as it was my first time experiencing so many people in this world.
It is the beginning of my new life; I paused for a moment and turned to see the wall barricading the jungle; I closed my eye for a second. In that split second, my entire experience flashed before me.
“Goodbye,” I muttered; although I wanted to leave that place, I had lived there for a time and experienced the feeling of new life.
Then I drew a deep breath and turned around to follow the soldiers.
“Eve?” I called out to her.
“Yes Host?” she replied.
“How are you feeling?” I was expecting a cringeworthy answer.
A while went by with no reply from her, and then she said, “Good.”
I was shocked, she’s never displayed such humane behavior before.
“Eve?” I called out again, but she didn’t reply.
Obviously, she won’t answer me now because she’s too shy to face me.
After some time, the soldier entered a two-storied building, which looked similar to any building on earth.
For a moment, my heart began racing. Upon entering the building, I observed a few people watching a holographic display.
Suddenly, they all stopped working and turned to look at me at the same time.
While I was stunned and embarrassed, I looked down and realized that I was the only person in underwear standing there between them.
For the sake of ending this awkward atmosphere, I cleared my throat and said with a smile, “How are you doing?”
Suddenly, they all nodded at me at the same time and went about their business.
“What the fuck was that,” I thought. I wish I could leave this place right now.
The soldiers that I followed caught my eye. They looked at me and signaled for me to go to a certain area.
I walked to a soldier who was seated and staring at a holographic screen.
“Place your hands on it,” he said, pointing at the device.
After placing my hands on the device, I saw it was scanning my hand, but suddenly I felt a prickle on my thumb. I was startled, but did not take my hands off the device.
“Name?” he asked as he turned to me.
“Alan”, I replied, wondering what he was doing.
He nodded at me and then typed something on the screen before going into a room.
Upon returning with a card, he handed it to me. I looked at the card filled with my photo and other details.
Name: Alan
Species: Evolved Monkey [I]
Level: Low Levelled Power User
Area: Afrasia Zone 1
“This is your identification card, do not lose it.” He pointed to the first soldier and said, “Follow him, he will tell you what to do next.”
Following the soldier out of the building, I went to a building that looked similar to the first.
I was told to wait in the waiting area while he went into a different room.
He returned with a bag and a dress, gave it to me, and pointed in a direction, “There you can change.”.
I nodded and went to the changing room.
My eyes were drawn to the reflection in front of me, and for the first time in this world, I have seen myself.
I see a man with golden hair, an 8-pack abs, and a chiseled body standing before me, that’s the definition of handsomeness. Some golden hairs are covering the hand and there is a tail, but that is not a problem.
“Perfect” I whispered.
It was then that I noticed the dress and bag that had been given to me.
It quite surprised me when I saw those pants and shirts custom-made for me, with my tail in mind.
After wearing it, I noticed a pair of shoes in that bag.
I was satisfied with their arrangement. I quickly dressed up and went to meet the soldier.
He has a surprised look on his face. I am sure my handsomeness surprised him.
He nodded at me and said, “We are done for today. Tomorrow we will leave for the training camp. Follow me, I will guide you to your boarding place.”
I had many questions on my mind, but I know all will be answered in that camp.
One thing I have noticed after visiting this place is that I have seen no beauty yet.
It seems like there are soldiers everywhere, as if they were tightly guarding something. This is a total military camp. After some time, I saw a large building. Maybe this is the place.
When we entered this building, I noticed a soldier sitting on the receptionist’s desk. After nodding at me, he asked me to show him my ID. He handed it back to me after some time while signaling to a worker to guide me through my room.
“Thank you,” I thanked the soldier whom I followed until now. He nodded at me and left.
The worker led me to the third floor. I don’t know why, but there is no elevator here.
After a time, he stopped in front of a room and said, “Please swipe your ID here.” Pointing to some device.
The door opened once I swiped my ID card. The worker nodded at me and left.
When I entered the room, I found a simple bed, and an attached bathroom.
Having closed the door, after removing my dress, I climbed onto the soft bed without a care in the world.
“Hah! This is heaven” After these many days, it feels like heaven to be in a bed.
I felt very sleepy; I closed my eyes to imagine my future in this world, which will start tomorrow. “Beauties, wait for me,” I mumbled and slept.
