I slowly open my eyes, waking up and feeling all the warmth of my bed. I tried to strech my arms and neck...
...Only to smack my head with the wall.
Owww, that hurts... wait, this is not my bed.
Looking around around me I realized that this is not my home either.
I got up from the bed, and see if someone is here. No one in sight, I noticed that this room was dark, and I mean in a literal way.
Can the owner of this place at least afford a lightbulb or somethin'? I can't see anything!.
Shortly after that, I found a computer sitting there on the desk.
To see if it works, I pressed the button, but no activity came.
This computer is either trashed or doesn't work.
I processed the information in my mind for now.
Well, I woke up in a strange house with no lights and a trashed computer... what a shame, I did really wanted to see if that PC could run Crysis.
As much as I wanted to play PC games, first I need to find a way to get out of here...
...Like that door.
...How I didn't notice that sooner?.
Opening the door, confirmed my inner suspicions. I was not captured or something like that at least. In this room it seemed that it was a kitchen-living room, and some furnitures, like a broken T.V and...
...wait.
The fireplace was recently used... too recent.
It was shining with blue fire, Iluminating all the room with it's warmth.
...
I can't be here. This must be some sort of a sick joke. How can this be?! I see that I'm in OneShot!
Filled with emotions, I tried to calm down and take slow breaths, and it worked.
Okay chill Zak, you can do this, yeayeayea... maybe. Wait, do I still look the same?
I rushed to the bathroom and checked me with the mirror.
Yep, the same ol' Zakhep.
I was wearing a normal black t-shirt with gray pants and my black & gray sneakers, nothing extraordinary.
My eyes were dark brown with some little bags under them, and my hair style -Degrade- black.
Now that I think more of my clothing... It's too dark to wear, ew. I would like something green right now, but eh, clothes are not cheap at all.
Taking a last look at me, I exit the bathroom and thinking on what I'm about to do.
Let's see if the door to the outside is open.
Successful on that, I opened the door, and climbed up to some trash that I found on the way.
Seeing some lights made me think 'Freedom'!
All that I could see were computers and more computers... or were terminals?.
Looks a little too old for me... like a DOS machine integrated with Linux at the same time... some people want to see the world burn.
Right away I exit and I saw all the Barrens...
...
Wow, I didn't know that it would look so... awesome! From here I can see the craters on the ground and the broken rails.
Zak, snap out of it, you need to find you-know-who.
Blinking for some moments I regained my composture and tried to keep walking.
[-Are Here!]
!
I heard a conversation nearby, so I hid behind the house to listen carefully.
[Welcome To Our World, Friend!]
[I Am Most Humbled By Your Presence, Yes!]
"...Thanks."
[Do You Want To Ask Me Anything?]
Niko made a cute face "Mhm, only one."
...What could that be...
This is too interesting to shrug off.
"In the coputer was the name 'Zakhep', do you know who is he?"
...What. Oh right, the entity said my name in the computer, that makes sense, but that means that I can't use that name with Niko... or can I?.
[Ah, That Would Be Our God!]
For a moment Niko was shocked for an unknown reason, like he had a realization, and later he was acting weird. "Zakhep... Zakhep! I know him already!, I need to close my eyes to contact him right?"
[Yes.]
Niko started closing his eyes, and I was too shocked too, but for a good reason.
Niko renembers?! Oh no, this is not good, what if he knows that I didn't let hin stay on his village on the final of Solstice? (Didn't let Niko say goodbye)...
Niko, still with his eyes closed, called. "Zakhep, are you there?"
Of course I didn't answer, this was going out of bonds for me, I don't want to mess with this right now.
Niko opened his eyes and looked at me for a second.
"Horseapples!"
I was so worried of myself that I hid more deeply into the house.
Uff, good thing that he didn't see me. I need to get out of here, and fast.
Turning around I-
"Hi! I didn't see you before!"
...Are you serious?.
