The first thing that Lucy thought when she opened her eyes was that her systems didn't detect anything, there hadn't been any glitches with the implants or prosthetics.
It was as if the teleportation that had brought her into the castle was instantaneous.
The next thing that she noticed was how mismatched everyone was, There were people from all over the place, some were so chromed up that they barely had anything about them that was Human anymore.
Others either had an arm, a leg, their eyes, or some part of their bodies that had been replaced by cybernetic and there were a few that didn't have any.
Then there were the knights who all wore armor, these people were keeping an eye on everyone else.
She couldn't help but feel tens the world around her felt like a dream, a place where she could relax, if only for a little bit.
"Miss please come this way." a knight wearing pink armor says to her.
She does as the man says and follows him to a nearby building that has a line in front of it.
Normally she would have had to wait for hours because of how long the line was, but to her surprise, the line was moving fast and she only had a minute.
"Single or married?" the woman sitting at the desk in front of her asks.
"Single." she answers the woman.
"Did you have to kill people before and do your skills require you to have to kill people?" the woman asks her.
"Yes to both questions." she answers the woman.
"Last question, do you plan or believe that you will want a family in the future?' the woman asks her.
Lucy couldn't help but be taken aback by the woman's question so she decided to ask one of her own.
"Why does that matter?"
'We need to know where to put you, Children need other children to play and interact with and there is always a chance that a young woman such as yourself could get pregnant." the woman answers her.
Lucy thought about what the woman had just said to her so she decided to answer honestly.
"No."
"You hesitated so there is a chance that you might have children, this card has your house number and the floor that it is on.
We have already scanned your information and if you need any help just ask one of the knights to help you, because that's why they are here." the woman says to her before telling the next person to walk up to her.
As she looks at the card in her hand, she sees how it begins to glow before a holographic screen appears in front of her.
The screen shows that her new home is on the second floor and is number thirty-four, she has some coal, the currency of the castle which looks as if it's backed up by gold.
The information after that is just the normal stuff that anyone can get from her, her weight, age, height, and everything else that a doctor would need to help her in an emergency.
Considering that she doesn't know how to get to the second floor she decides to ask one of the guards who guides her to a large crystal, the man tells her to put her card on the crystal.
Then the man tells her to think of the floor and place that she wants to go to and that the crystal will do the rest.
Lucy can't help but think that the man's explanation is way too simplistic and sounds more like something from a fantasy game, but she does what he says.
She can't help but blink, There is a brick house in front of her with a wooden door, and as she looks around she notices that she isn't the only one, looking at her surroundings.
Kids are telling their parents to look at how big their backyards are, while some of the men and women are walking around.
As she opens the door and begins to explore the house she finds that it already comes with furniture and a fully stocked kitchen.
As she looks around she finds a note from the players. It says that this is their way of saying welcome and that it's up to her to keep the house in good condition, as it now belongs to her.
Lucy can't help but walk out into the backyards and smile, while she can see her neighbors and they can see her, she has to admit that she likes seeing something from how Earth used to be before it was ruined.
She reaches into her coat pocket and takes out her pack of cigarettes before putting one in her mouth and lighting it.
She stands there just enjoying the silence, for a long moment she does nothing, and then that moment is ruined as a call comes in.
