《Life of a person who was transported into another world》Chapter 1: Sudden Calamity
Advertisement
Rei wiped his sweat that came from his forehead as he tried to listen to the discussion of his teacher. 'God damn that forecaster said that it's going to rain today, but what do I get? A fucking bright sun,' Rei cursed. Although the temperature was nowhere hot than of the countries near the equator, for a person like Rei, who lived near the pole, it was unbearably hot.
The year was 2130, and a lot of strange things have happened in the world. The North and South pole had melted, and a lot of countries in the world have submerged underwater. But humanity seems to be the embodiment of cockroach as they never gave up without trying. They built floating cities in the water and had created countless things that would make the people of the 21st century go green with envy.
However, life was still full of depravity and deception. The government deceived the masses and in turn, the masses believed the lies of the government. The rich ruled the poor and the poor serves to the wealthy; such is the cycle of life. Although a lot of people knew about the current situation what could they do? Individuals who tried to protest before did not stand a chance, and they were quickly dealt with. It served as an example of those who sought to oppose the ruling body. Thus, the people chose to be quiet.
Rei, who is seventeen years old, was one of the individuals who knew the truth behind the current predicament of the world. What can he do to the government which had ruled the world for years since the start of the 22nd century?
Rei was lost in his thought as he gazed at the window beside him. According to the old books he once read, this part of the world was supposed to be freezing cold, only people who are out of their minds would try living in this kind of place. But now, it was unbearably hot. If he told the 21st-century people that it was this hot, they would surely laugh at him for being stupid.
But the situation now was not comical and instead it was the truth. Rei shook his head, trying to stop the useless thoughts that flowed in his mind. He stopped gazing at the window and took a bottle of water in his bag to quench his dying throat. But before he can do that, his body froze and he cannot move by a single inch.

He was shocked and at the same time afraid as he tried to move his body again. But his efforts was for naught as his body completely refused to move. Rei tried to think ways to make his body move from this bizarre situation, but no solutions came up from his mind. 'Is this a new kind of disease?' Rei thought as he completely gave up on moving his entire body.
He tried moving his fingers first slowly and carefully if it will work, but before he could do that, vertigo struck him. It caused his eyes to see stars and thunder to rumble in his ears. In a blink of an eye, it caused his body to fall. Rei started cursing in his mind as the face of death met him on the ground. He remembered his family and his friends. He remembered every moment in his life until he lost his consciousness.
By the time Rei woke up, his nose was assaulted by a smell he never once encountered. It caused his stomach to churn and when he saw chunks of bloody meat that was littered on the floor, the acid in his stomach came to his throat and within seconds, he was vomiting.
He wiped his mouth with his shirt and sat on the ground. He tried to remember what happened before he lost consciousness in the room. Shock filled the face of the youth as he remembered what happened. "My body stopped moving, and I passed out, it was also very hot..."
He tried to move his body again and was worried if it did not move properly. But, he released a sigh of relief from his mouth as he saw that his body was fine. He started to look around, but he instantly regretted his decision as chunks of meat greeted his eyes. "If I did not vomit before, then I would surely vomit now.
Rei wanted to inspect those chunks of meat but he was afraid that it was not a normal one, so he started to look for survivors in the room. Rei did not found a single person in the room, but what he found completely surprised his mind. It was a blue box, located in the upper right corner of his vision. When Rei found it first he thought that there was a blue box on the table, and he did not pay any mind to it, but when he moved his vision, the box surprisingly followed!

It did not take long before Rei noticed that the box was actually following his vision. Rei abruptly shifted his head to turn right, and he still saw the box! He turned left, closed his eyes, and still, the box was there!
"Is there a problem with my eyes?"
Rei theorized in his mind; he tried to remember any eye disease that he knew that would make a blue box appear in their vision. But Rei, was not an expert in the eyes, nor he was an expert in diseases, so after racking his head three times, nothing appeared in his mind.
He thought of other types of diseases, "If the problem does not lie in my eyes, could it be that the problem lies in my brain?" Rei remembered on how he fell to the ground with his head first. It made him think that it must have caused some damage in his brain that would get him to see the blue box in his vision.
Rei accepted his theory, but it also puzzled him, on why it was blue and why is it a box. There were also chunks of meat on the floor, not only its appearance was grotesque it even had a nauseating smell that would make ordinary people cut off their nose. As he thought more about his current situation, it made his mind dizzy.
"Did someone prank me?" This was his first thought about the matter, but he instantly rejected the idea.
"Although those rich kids would ignore the rules sometimes they would not blatantly make someone unconscious in a middle of the class and spread weird meat everywhere."
He thought more of his situation and how could've it happened, but as time went forward, it only made him confused and unsatisfied. Suddenly, when he thought about his current situation, a sudden flash of insight appeared in his mind. 'Could it be that 'it' happened to me?' Uncertainty filled his mind as he thought about the possibility that it would happen.
Rei loved the books of the 21st century, and he read a lot of books about it. He once tried reading a 21st century novel from the Eastern part of the world, and he was completely hooked on it. Rei read everything, ranging from comedy to tragedy and summoned to reincarnation and he also read that this kind of situation would frequently appear in those novels!
His modern mind told himself that it was not possible, but as he thought about his current situation, he quickly tried it.
"Open Blue Box!"
Rei shouted, using all of his lungs to make a loud roar. But nothing happened, and he was quickly embarrassed. His head reddened from embarrassment, and he lowered his head in shame.
Rei hated the government; he hated on how they would restrict the poor, and he loathed the arrogant faces of the rich. His family was not wealthy, nor they were poor, they were right in the middle. However, in front of those people who have money and power, they would sneer at them like bugs! He escaped reality by reading books and by chance, he discovered a forum that satisfied his mind.
He hoped that kind of 'situation' would happen to him, but his head reminded him that it is only a story. Thus, that dream was buried in the deepest part of his brain. Although it was buried deep in his brain, his current situation made his dream surface in his mind again. He knew that it was impractical and abnormal, but he gritted his teeth and steeled his heart as he said those words. But in the end, reality struck him, and a wave of depression rose from his heart.
Suddenly, his body sagged as he felt a pressure comparable to a mountain landed on top of his body. His mind trembled, and it urged him to sleep. Rei fought back trying not to sleep because he feared that it would be his last, but his efforts were futile and within seconds, he was fast asleep.
*Blue Box Activated*
A rumbling voice echoed throughout the world; it shook the hearts of the people, and it made their minds tremble. Thus, on that day, it was referred to as the 'Sudden Calamity.'
