End of simulation
When Jax's eyes opened, he found himself in a desert. The scorching sun burned his skin, warm sweat draping his face as his gaze wandered from horizon to horizon.He saw nothing but arid, brown sand—a vast empty expanse beneath a cloudless sky."Hello?" Jax yelled at the top of his lungs, his heart thumping violently against his chest, a flicker of fear surging through him.He took a step forward. A glitching sound erupted, deafening him once more. His hands flew to his ears, his eyes squeezing shut as fragmented memories of his childhood in Kistan City began to surface, as if he were in a trance.The visions riled him. His hands shook, the hurtful memories of the fire outbreak paralyzing him even more.Suddenly, Jax was transported somewhere unknown—a place where an apocalypse had taken place.Looking around, he found dead bodies of soldiers. Most were decapitated, the acrid smell of burnt flesh and clotted blood smearing the air to the extent that breathing became difficult.The atm
Lucid Simulation I
“You mean…” Corra sighed, holding either side of her head, a burning sensation claimed for a second. “We are officially doomed!” She strutted away before the boys caught up with her. …Roughly an hour later, they gathered in groups, this time, they were splitted in two equal groups. Group X and Group O.Agent Voss stood tall, his figure hanging like a gremlin in a dark cloak, his face partly hidden behind the hood over his head. Just his countenance muted all the students, after that he had done to that boy in their study room, no one dared to make a fuss or act like it. “Dear Zetas,” the man began, a thick silence hung low. The atmosphere dripped with the smell of dust and sawdust, the machinery whirring and humming in the far distance. “Welcome back to our second and final intuition test,” he announced, his deep, satiny tone boomed across the fields. The students stared at each other, muttering in the lowest tone possible.Agent Voss screened the students with his eyes, observin
Zetas' representative
Their hearts thumped suspiciously, walking alongside the head boy and his clique. It should have seemed cool, but it clearly seemed troubling to everyone watching, including Corra, who bumped into the moving train. “Spirits! This cannot be good!” She whispered to herself. When they finally took a step out of the dorm area, the head boy halted, as well as the others. “Guys? A second with these whities, please!” Prescott said to his clique as they walked in the direction of the dining hall, throwing the usual seniors’ tantrums for students who didn't make it on time. Prescott split his gaze between all three of them, sensing their thoughts. Prescott had the unique power to read minds, just like Jax and Corra, but the academy forbade it for reasons best known to the founders of the academy. In fact, until the year of the imperial era, which was lurking by the corner, hinting at an intense war, an enigmatic revolution that would leave an imprint on lives, positive or negative. “I h
More twisted situation
That moment, within a split second, they appeared back in the original field that they once stood in. The dust, the whirring of mechanisms, agent Voss and students were in the same position as before. Jax looked around, as if he was in a time loop. It felt real yet unclear about what had just happened. According to the agent’s description, they were supposed to appear in the second task but they were in the field instant. “Welcome back, Zetas! You all did well yet…” the agent paused, gazing at each student deeply. “We lost 10 students, five from each group. Reason? They did not obey the rules of participating in the relay….” said Agent Voss as the students turned to each other, mumbling almost silently to avoid the agent’s wrath. “I warned you all beforehand. Do not think that because you brainstormed on behalf of your teammates means that everyone has won. No. The academy believes in self-discovery, self-dedication and hardwork…” he said, this time his questionable gaze rested s
Lucid Maze II
Separated, they walked right in. Jax looked around, his steps were slow and careful, a part of him knew that he was taking the wrong path but then being surrounded by the grey glassy area made things worse. Looking behind him, he could not find the opening. It was confusing and devastating. Fear gripped him like a second skin. The path was alone and empty as he managed to drag his body. “Jax!” he heard a feminine voice call out to him right ahead of him. The voice was familiar. It was that if his sister, Jaz. He swallowed hard, assuring himself that the voice was only an illusion— nothing was real but the more he walked, the more his sister’s voice echoed. Her soft chuckles had always been imprinted in his mind, ones that he couldn't forget until the fire outbreak that snatched her life. Jax moved further, this time, a bit faster, following the trail of the scattered voice and suddenly he heard a loud dull jab. Jax found nothing except being stuck within glassy fo
Lucid Maze I
“Noa!” Corra snapped as Jax and Bart shifted their condescending gazes to Noa who only wore a nervous smile. Head boy Prescott gave a tight smile, observing the boys who were, no doubt, jealous of her choice. “Alright then! Angel? Take your minion with you to Team A and you both move to Team B!” Prescott ordered as they all split but Prescott’s gaze was repeatedly on Corra until he was distracted by his colleague. When the students grouped themselves into equal halves as the tutor had demanded, the field instantly became silent as the tutor climbed the scaffold; his demeanor commanded stillness. “Alright, Zetas! Here's what we will do. Starting point is going to be simple, at least, it is a headstart of your career in this academy…” Agent Voss began in an authoritative tone that reached each curious ear.“I have two tasks for each team. So, this is the first task…” Agent Voss began as he tapped on a gadget linked behind his ear and a hologram appeared a few inches above his head,
