《Mianite Season 1》A dark beginning
Advertisement
???? POV:
I can't see anything.....
It's so dark.....
It's so hot.....
I feel dizzy....
I can't remember anything.....
My head feels heavy on my shoulders......
I open my eyes, to see metal bars in front of me. I move a little, and feel a tight pressure on my wrists and ankles. I gaze down at my feet, and see coarse brown rope binding my ankles to the smooth metal bars. I feel my hands in the same position, behind my back.
I divert my gaze to myself, and find that I'm dressed in a white v-neck, with a coal black jacket over the top, not buttoned up. I feel liquid running down my forehead, and wipe the sweat off with my shoulder. I feel so hot, and start to wonder what the hell I was thinking wearing a jacket in this heat. I slowly turn my head in all directions, taking in the red ugly material surrounding me. I feel like I know what the material is, but I shouldn't. I don't belong in this world, that much I know. I don't even remember my own name.
I shift to the left a little, and feel the small cage swing under my weight. Wait, the cage is swinging? That means... I look out the bars, but divert my gaze down, to see that I'm currently fifty feet off the ground. I gasp and panic, I'm deathly afraid of heights. I don't know how I know that, I can just feel it. Below my hanging cage, is a sea of hot, molten, flowing lava that, every few seconds, spurts upwards towards my cage in a pillar of flaming rock.
I stare straight ahead, and avoid all eye contact with the death that lies below. My breathing is short and laboured, and I can feel myself losing consciousness. I stare mindlessly off into the distance, and see another hanging cage not far off from mine. Staring into its hollow centre, I see a green figure slumped against the side, still unconscious. I focus my gaze, and try to make out the figures features. I see bright blue hair on top of the figure, and I start to see a black suit. A green head rests on the green neck of the strange figure, and it looks familiar.

I can't exactly pinpoint where I've seen the.....person before, but I feel a strong connection to them. The green face tilts upwards, and I watch with curiosity as they start to gaze around mindlessly like I was a few minutes ago. Their gaze finally rests on me, and they stop moving. I try to call out to them, but all that came out was a wheeze. I clear my throat and try to call out again.
"Hello? Hey over here!" I call out, realising that I am in fact, a male, don't know why I don't check that first.
"Hello?" A male British voice calls back.
I start to speak again, before I'm interrupted by a red flash of light in front of me. I squint at the sudden light, and look away.
"Well hello there gentlemen! Welcome to my humble home! I apologise for the...harsh treatment, I couldn't take any chances. I'm sure you must be feeling confused, something has triggered your memories to dissipate." A red figure explained.
"Ummm, forgive me for asking but, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHERE THE HELL ARE WE!" The British voice yelled out to the newcomer.
"Oh, how rude of me, you are in the nether, my home, and I, well, I'm the god of the nether, but you can call me.....Dianite"

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.
