In a small clearing, a man could be seen lying on the fine surfaced ground, the ground may have looked finely furnished and leveled but it was still made of dirt.
It had been a while since the young man fell on the ground.
The white blinding light had made his eyes first hurt a lot, his eyes soon rolled back and he fell unconscious.
Nothing much happened while he was asleep for a long time.
Yet Soon, something out of the ordinary happened, a small object came flying toward the ground.
It looked like a small comet that was flung toward the young man to purposely disturb his ever-perfect dream.
The comet fell to the ground yet no sound came, no boulder formed, no dirt splashed everywhere. It was unlikely as the speed was just too fast to have such a weirdly peaceful reaction.
The object was none other than a metallic ball with a shining metallic radiance. It was like a billiard ball but without the usual colors. It was a fine Grey luminous object.
CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK
A series of small spider leg like spikes came out of the ball and smashed themselves on the ground.
Within a few seconds, the ball of metallic radiance was on its many spiky feet.
Its small size of a few inches crawled its way toward the poor sleeping William with saliva coming out of his face.
When the crawler was just an inch from William's hand.
It jumped on William's arm and without any wait, dug the many spikes under the left wrist of the young man's arm.
The young man felt a sting but did not mind it. It was not enough of a stimulation to wake his lazy butt from the deep sleep.
The metallic ball could not have him sleep so peacefully, not when its purpose was to make the young man come out of his sleep.
Unfortunately for William, a stream of electric current came out of the metallic ball latched on his wrist finally giving the unnecessarily high stimulus for him to finally wake up from his slumber.
"UNGHHHH!!!!"
William couldn't even scream properly as his mouth had frozen from the electric shock while he was biting his tongue hard.
It made some blood come out of his mouth yet he couldn't feel it with how his whole body was brimming with electric currents trying to make a chaos of his insides.
What felt like minutes but was actually five seconds finally passed when the output of the electric current finally stopped.
William was still twitching, clearly going through the after effects of his electrocution.
'W-What happened?' The only thing he could think as his body felt jolts of twitching even when the current was out of him.
After minutes, he finally calmed down and sat with criss-crossed legs on his own.
'Where am I?'
William looked in front of him, getting the feeling that he had done so before too but he stopped with all his chaotic thinking.
Soon, realization came upon him that something bad had happened.
'What was that light?' He thought remembering the light that had made him go blind. It was a horrific experience, the light not only made him blind but also hurt his eyes a lot.
Soon, he looked in the front with focus, it took longer than usual for his eyes to stop the blurring.
"…What?"
All William could see was a dark fog just a few meters from him. It was pitch black in color and William could make nothing out of it.
He looked up to that fog and no matter how high he looked, the fog was there, only the sky above his head was the same as before. Blue with clouds of different shapes.
He looked in the fog again and after a minute, he had to actually stop looking due to his overly imaginative brain playing its wonders.
William looked to his right which was the same, in a few meters, on an average, eight to nine meters, the fog could be seen again.
He looked to the left too yet it was the same, the fog seemed endless and only the area he was sitting in and a few more meters seemed to be without it.
With only one direction left, the young man looked behind.
It was the last nail to the coffin when he actually started panicking properly.
He had chills run down his spine when he looked at the single construction in the whole place.
It was a… 'Tower?' William could only think of the vertical construct with a height of 10 meters.
It was a very simple tower, with a gate in the front as an entrance and at the top height of the tower, there was an archery-oriented construction where a ladder seemed to go from the inside.
William knew about it because he could see the ladder going up from inside the tower.
'It looks better than that creepy fog…' William looked at the fog which gave him the creeps and then he finally tried to move away from it.
When he kept his hand to support his weight to get up, an unbearing pain invaded his arm that he didn't seem to ignore now.
