《HIVE - LOCKED UP IN SPACE》[Chapter 3] Acceptance (II)

February 1st, 3017.
-------
Another 3 months has passed, this time quicker than before. Most of the time being spent on keeping up with my daily workout routine and keeping to myself. This 3 month was one of the hardest times of my life. But it was a meaningful 3 months because it was one of the most crucial times of my life throughout my time being in incarceration which allowed me to now adjust my lifestyle from that of a normal law abiding citizen to that of a "survivor".
It didn't take long for me to realize that the lifestyle in an institution was that of a caged animal, especially so when you are living in close proximity with beasts in human skin. The law of the jungle was in full effect especially in the place like this, where all of the inmates here are still getting ready to be sent into HIVE.
Betrayal, stabbings, murders and police brutality was the norm in this pod. Anyone who has been here for at least a week would've become numb to it in due time, it was generally a rule of thumb to mind one's own business unless you were looking for trouble. This mainly applied to people without backing as most inmates group up and form cliques from the inside, strength in numbers was prevalent here. This made me even more anti-social and socially awkward, already being somewhat of an outcast since day 1 while lacking any human interaction.
This made me even more anti-social and socially awkward, already being somewhat of an outcast since day one while lacking any human interaction during my entire span of incarceration in this pod. Though it wasn't hard getting used to it since I was living a shut-in NEET lifestyle before all of this shit happened. The only way I could keep sane was to start treating daily life as if it was somewhat of a game, giving myself tasks and quest while trying to quantify my physical gain. It was almost to the point where it became a delusion, becoming lost in my own small word.

Other than the increase in mental fortitude, I made some physical gains. Down the road, my routine has received a massive increase in workload. This was done to keep up with my physical needs, so as to continue to make even bigger gains. My physique is reaching my ideal standards soon, most of my fats are gone and replaced with lean muscle. Although I might not be bulky, my muscles seemed to become compact and lean, which is what I personally prefer... being able to hide it under my prison jumpsuit and all.
Being a gray man was the ideal solution for me, to blend in with the crowd and not stand out while simultaneously being able to hold my ground against others. It was not about being the best and being outstanding but to survive and keep on living in peace.
At this current moment, my workout routine has been increasing in length and is starting to take up the majority of my time but I started to love the adrenaline rush that comes with it, the sense of reward and satisfaction that comes after a good session. My delusions have become more powerful as times go by too, I've somewhat started to visualize gaming interfaces appearing in front of me. Its probably my own way of coping with this fucked up situation but the delusions lately have started to become pretty concerning.
Pushing this thought aside, I continue my workout routine... when suddenly a text appears in front of me:

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here
