Prologue
I was looking out the window...
Nope... No aliens. I looked back at the task at hand, 28 math problems stared back at me. I checked again. The only alien was me. A computer glitch. An alarm clocked wired so that the hour hand was the minute hand and the minute hand was the hour hand. Okay, not literally but you know what I'm getting at. I reached into my bag and grabbed the latest issue of the manga I was reading.

I decided to put it back before the teacher saw me. I looked back at my sheet.
1230 x 10
"That's easy.." I said to myself while writing the answer. I can't believe what they teach us kids these days..
A few moments later and I was done. I handed in my sheet and started reading my book. As I was looking for my page, the fire alarm went off. I decided to bring my book for the fire drill but then the teacher said..
"Kids leave quick this is not a drill!"
I slipped my book back into my bag and tried to stand up.
I couldn't!
Everyone walked out the door oblivious to the fact that one of their classmates was anchored to a chair
I felt something grabbing at my leg. I looked down but saw nothing.
My computer turned on.
The chair disappeared. I stood up and raised my leg. I was free!
Suddenly one of my friends walked through me. I looked on in horror as the life that I knew faded away.
Nothing. Not even blackness. All I could see was... NOTHING. It drove me nuts.
A figure appeared in the darkness with a torch. It was an interesting fella. He or she looked like a big robotic oversized beetle.
He introduced himself as Tentomon, keeper of the Limbo. Where time does not exist. Where nothing ever matters. Where nothing even exists!
Well usually.
He told me that the "Limbo" is where all the discarded data in the"digital world" is held. A place where the recycle bin leads to.
He flicked a switch and the world lit up.
Things were floating all around me. I was never aware that even I was floating!
Black silhouettes warped and shifted beside me.. Bits and bytes of data streamed in and out. The room was no longer dark.
I asked him why there was so much here if nothing usually exists here.
"When data is destroyed in my world... It is regenerated immediately.. Everything else is what we call "stuck in limbo" these "things" you see don't exist.. They are just remnants of data from the beginning of time as I know it. You and I are the only "real" thing here... Oh and this torch.
