DAY = 4
LOCATION = MOON
TIME = 06/12/2034
MIND = CONFUSED
[Every time I wake up, I have a memory of why I am here but no memory of how I am here. It feels like I am searching for something for a long time But unable to find it. I know someday I will find it but for now, I can just wait].
You get a message from the command center to check for any activity on the surface of the moon.
[It feels like this is the first time I am able to think for myself and enjoy this beautiful view of Earth. Such a shame in a few years it will be inhabitable. I wish people realize that we have only one place to call home for our species. Well let's get to work]
You start to power up the rover to help you survey the area. Everything seems good. You see an object with no shape orbiting the moon. It starts to move toward you slowly.
[What is it? It is so familiar, but I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime] That question was enough to wake up a flood of memories from your all previous lives. The object enters your head and transmits a message in your brain.
{you understand ME}
[What? What are you?]
{You Remember ME}
[You seem familiar. Who are you?]
{COMPLETE YOUR MISSION, TRY TO REMEMBER AND SAVE HER}
After saying that it disappears into the vacuum of space.[Why is this so familiar]
You enter your base after a complete survey of a section of the moon's surface. As you enter the base your computer alert you about the solar flare. You take a break thinking that you are done your mission for today. You take a peek outside. Your base is opposite's face is opposite to the sun. As you are looking at never-ending space. You see an astronaut in an advanced spacesuit walking toward the base. Your thought conflict whatever to help the astronaut or not.

You remember what the object said "save her" [Is the astronaut is the woman I am supposed to save] Without a second thought you open the door to your base and run toward the astronaut. You grab her arm and support her by placing her arm over your shoulder. Just a few seconds before the solar flare you. You take a moment to catch your breath.
You remove the helmet of the astronaut to find it empty inside it was a note and a CD.
The note read "Use the control panel on the arm to activate THE BRIDGE while wearing the suit. The suit can only be used once if you visit THE BRIDGE you cannot go back. There you will find him, and he will answer all your question "
You take a look at the suit it does look like it is from your time it seems that it is from the future or maybe the past because the design is old but all the technology is now even better than the ones we have nowadays.
You are not sure about the situation whatever you should follow the instruction or not. It seems quite suspicious. But curiosity gets better of you. You are afraid and curious to know what is your purpose.
You wear the helmet and follow the instruction.
You fall into empty space full of darkness. But this time you see a doorway full of light at the end of the darkness. You run toward it as you run toward it, you hear voices behind you. You take a look behind you and the image gives you chill up your spine. Humanoid shadows with abnormal shape are running toward you. You speed up as you are nearing the gateway the shadow keeps gaining on you. You feel an eerie presence of them over your shoulder. You feel a hand reaching toward you and you jump inside the gate. The shadows are reduced to the atom as they touch the gate's light.
You stop to catch your breath you see someone sitting in front of you on a futuristic chair. You are unable to detect his/her face for some time. As second pass his face becomes clearer and clearer. You are shocked to see the person sitting in the chair is YOU?

The person stands up and greets you.
UNKNOWN PERSON: So we finally meet again
YOU: Again you say?
UNKNOWN PERSON: OH! I see you still don't remember completely or maybe not even a little.
YOU: Wait are you that thing with no shape
UNKNOWN PERSON: Bingo! You got me.
YOU: did you wrote that latter as well?
UNKNOWN PERSON: JACKPOT! AGAIN ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
YOU: you wrote that you will answer all my questions
UNKNOWN PERSON: Of course why will I not answer your question. But first, you let me just
The man walks toward you and taps on your forehead with his finger.
UNKNOWN PERSON: WOW! I have been through a lot all these years.
YOU: What you have been through a lot? Ask me how much I have been through dying and coming back without knowing anything about why and asking all the time about my purpose.
UNKNOWN PERSON: I am Mandeep the controller of this station. Does my name make you remember anything?
You: It's just your name is so familiar. When I saw you as that object I got the same feeling as now.
Mandeep: OK so you remember our meeting right?
YOU: What meeting?
Mandeep: ok well sit, please
You sit in the chair and Mandeep sit in front of you
Mandeep: ok so you and I are the same.
You take some time to process what you just hear and reply
You: So what am I a clone, an android or am I you from another timeline?
Mandeep: You are not an Android or from another timeline. We are the same but you are from another universe that got destroyed 100million years ago. I was observing the creation and destruction of the universe for my study to help mankind. But I didn't know that there can be two of myself. That when I saw you I lost it when I saw you for the first time. It was like looking in a mirror. At that moment I made my mind to save you. But due to this countless universe paid the price. When I teleported you into my station. A light explosion destroyed your entire universe. It was not what was supposed to happen. When I checked my log I found that as I teleported you some strange activity occurred. I saw life form in place of the universe. Strange anomalies they were. They had the ability to pass-through universe boundaries into another universe that is not possible for any other thing made of an atom or dark energy. Both of us paid the price. When I told you this the first question you asked me was can you fix this. That when I gave you the task to protect every earth from extension and you did it really well. We save 200,652,678 Earth in our lifetime. Then just one day when I was fixing the station you decided to follow the routine and save another planed. That's when you lost your memory and stuck in an endless loop of life and death. But still, you managed to save many Earth and even galaxies at times. The people you saved see you as a hero and Those anomalies were the reason behind all this cycle of hatred. It was so peaceful before they appeared. But now I fixed and upgraded the station now we have a fighting chance. That why I came to save you but each time you were going far far away that why it took me three connections to remind you.
As Mandeep stopped speaking the entire room became dead silent
You: so I helped you
Mandeep: Yes, But we had no other choice either.
You take some time but eventually, you agree to help him.
Mandeep reminds you that this is just the beginning.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
