Hey everyone before you read this fanfic I recommend you go watch Shelter by Porter Robinson music video to get the backstory.
Chapter 1
Space an endless landscape filled with wonder.
Contained within this land is a small spaceship.
Within the ship lies a 17 year old girl by the name of Rin who wakes up every day in a simulation and creates breath-taking environments. Recently she remembered the events that led to her being in the simulation and received a message from her late father and with the message and her memories she decided to look forward to the future and see what awaited her. Little did she know an event would soon occur that would change her life forever?
Rin awoke in her room just as she had always done for the past seven years with her teddy bear and tablet right beside her as always, she got up and stretched for a bit then activated her tablet.
No messages in 25 days displayed on the message screen
Rin in her head: Nothing as expected but, it can't hurt to try
Rin spent the day doing what she always did, creating beautiful environments with the help of her tablet, fist she drew a beautiful beach with waves crashing elegantly on the shore, later she drew a tropical rain forest with trees the size of building with rivers and streams flowing everywhere, then a African savannah with wide open fields, giant rocks and huge lakes, her final drawing for the day was a mountain range similar to the ones in japan. By the time she drew this environment it was getting late so she decided to lie down and gaze up into the sky, she then began to wonder if she really was the last human in the universe.
The next morning
Rin tossed and turned in her bed, it was early so she didn't feel like getting up and she hadn't even really opened her eyes yet, but she couldn't shake the felling that she was being watched, at first she tried to shrug it off like it was nothing but that made no difference eventually she couldn't take it anymore and she open her eyes, she looked left then right but nothing then when she looked up what she was froze her in shock.
A young boy was standing over her bed looking down at her, he looked around the age of four or five, Rin and the boy stared blankly at each other for a minute or two then Rin came out of her shock and opened her mouth.
RIN: Who …..Are … You?
When the boy heard her speak he ran.
RIN: WAIT!
The boy ignored her and kept running and then opened a door at the end of the room and vanished through it.
So many questions went through Rin's head, who was this boy, where did he come from, was he real.
She also wondered where the door had come from, it had never been there before and she hadn't drawn it.
It had been so long since she'd seen another person, she had to talk to him.
She bolted from her bed and ran towards the door the boy had vanished through, she grabbed the handle of the door and opened it, the inside of the door was so bright she couldn't see a thing, when she took a step inside and was then engulfed by the brightness.
When she opened her eyes she noticed she was at the end of a long corridor, she looked behind her and saw the door she just come through was still there but closed and this time it had a symbol on it, she didn't have time to examine it as she saw the boy was still running away down the long corridor.
Rin: Stop I just want to talk!
The boy still ignored and kept running; she then began to run after him
As she chased the boy down the corridor she began to notice there were many other doors down the corridor and they also has symbols on them.
The boy finally came to a stop in front of one of the doors but he was having a difficulty opening it.
As Rin got closer to the boy he began to get frantic with the door as Rin was just about to try to speak to the boy the door flung open and the boy ran in, Rin Lost her footing and fell into the now open door , again there was a bright flash.
When she opened her eyes this time she saw she was in what appeared to be a small house, the boy was there too he continued to run and then let out a yell.
Boy: PAPA!
An unknown voice then answered him as he ran into the next room.
Unkown voice: Haruto it's still early go back to bed.
Haruto: But there's a girl in the house.
Unknown voice: Did you sneak off into someone else's house again?
Haruto: Maybe.
Unknown voice: You naughty boy when will you ever learn, come on you need to apologise to whoever you disturbed.
The door to the room opened and a man stepped out holding Haruto's hand he looked at Rin then spoke.
Man: Hello miss, my son would like to apologise for disturbing you, Haruto say you're sorry.
Haruto looked up at Rin.
Haruto: Sorry.
Man: Very good now then allow me to introduce myself my name is Riku and you've already met my son.
Rin stood there speechless just staring at Riku and his son.
Riku: You look warn out why don't you sit down for some tea.
All Rin could do was nod her head, so many thoughts and questions were going through her head.
Rin, Riku and Haruto sat down at a nearby table. Riku then bought out three tea cups and pored tea into each of them.
Riku: Would you like any sugar uh, oh pardon me I never asked you your name.
Rin finally mustered up enough energy to speak.
Rin: Rin my name is Rin and one sugar please.
Riku: Rin, that's a nice name.
Riku then added some sugar to her tea and sat down next to Haruto.
Riku and Haruto began to drink their tea, Rin just stared at her tea, she couldn't even remember the last time she had tea. She then took a small sip, the tea tasted delicious.
Rin then decided she needed to get some answerers.
Rin: Pardon me, Riku.
Riku: Yes.
Rin: Can I ask you a question.
Riku: Sure.
Rin: Where are we?
