"Geez, what do you mean it's learning a language? Not rooted," timpal I ended up laughing amusedly hearing it. We have just met, but we are like brothers.
I didn't know that meeting her changed my life's destiny.
...****************...
^^^5 years before Kaoru's divorce, Shizuoka.^^^
I've been working with Charles and Cleo in Chances, for almost five years. I started to know a few things about the two of them.
I was so busy that I always spent time in the office. Sometimes I rarely stay in the house. My wife began to nag a lot about how my work patterns tend to be excessive.
But, how else.this project lasted too long and has not been completed. I've received a lot of money with Charles' help.
So, I have to finish the request well.
If this Chances project is finished, I'd like to take some time off with my wife.
Thus, my plan...
...****************...
^^^Previous, Shizuoka.^^^
"How, Charles? I've almost finished the map and some places inside these islands. In a few months, the worlds of Cyrus, Maria, Zorux, Vanya, Wayhallen, Tsui, and NoWher will be completed!"
Charles nodded his head proudly before asking, "How is this?? You're almost done preparing everything and the tools needed for this to be complete are still not finished."
"It's okay! Without even a trial, I'm sure all of this will work normally!" I answered with confidence.
Charles patted me on the shoulder and we both looked at the big screen in front of us. My heart is so happy to see the world of my creation. Of course, it's just for a game or a need for Charles, but I'm very proud to see all my hard work.
Especially the Cyrus world. The first world I created with Charles' help. I love that world so much. Charles said the world would be used in a game.
He said, he did not know what the game will be called, because it is still in the stage of writing the story script. Later, Charles promised to show it if the game was over.
I was so looking forward to it, how would it be if my world was used in the game.
...****************...
"Look! B-Tra Verse 0.1 is done!"
Charles said, I ran from my desk and saw him pointing at a machine so big in white it looked like a brain scanner. I patted my hand and Charles jumped into my arms, "Look at this! Kaoru!"
He pressed a button from the corner of the room and suddenly the lights went out, it made the room go dark so that the machine was glowing on each side and the screen behind it was also lit up showing many stars.
"Whoaah!!!" I shook my head in amazement as I clapped my hands.
"How's?! Now I'm just looking for the first test subject. This is what I didn't wait for."
"Trial subject? Why not try it yourself?"
Charles let out a heavy sigh while patting the machine, "You know for yourself, Cleo would scold me if no one knew how this machine worked because I spent more time assembling it than Cleo did on the code-building part."
I rubbed the nape of my neck while chuckling, "True too..so how?"
Charles flicked his shoulders and crossed his arms before turning his gaze out the window, "Perhaps? This project should be successful otherwise the efforts of the three of us will be in vain."
"Finding people? Meanin??" I heard her words that sounded a little scary to me. Charles smiled at me and walked out of the room. Leaving my questions hanging just like that.
The fear was finally proven.
Charles began to build the machine massively in such a short time. He began to capture many people to be the experimental material of his machine.
I can only help him from the side like Cleo. That's when I realized what my late boss, Takeda meant. That this Chances project is something big and so dangerous. Charles is a very ambitious and perfectionist. Many subjects have failed.
Too many too.
Unfortunately, the authorities never suspected this company. Somehow they were able to make the kidnapping and arrest of the 'subject' candidates successful, which I know is Charles is not an ordinary person and he and Cleo are two very genius people.
I've been involved too far, without knowing the intent of the two of them making this project. As soon as I tried to ask them both
"Great opportunity?"
Charles's eyes met my gaze, strangely his gaze looked grim, "Not everyone gets a good chance and choice in their lives. I want to change that, Kaoru."
"...right too. Then why do you need me?" finally, I asked the question I had been keeping for a long time.
Charles chuckled and shook his hands from top to bottom in the area around his face, "It was easy. Because our faces are similar, Kaoru. You know a myth about us having seven twins on the surface of this world? You're the first person I've found so easily. I want to help myself."
I laughed, "Certainly? Hmm, how lucky I am to be one of your twins. Without you, I wouldn't be this great, Charles. I'm grateful to you."
Charles grinned, "You sure thank me for being the bad guy? You know what I'm doing just to achieve my goal which is arguably very absurd."
Putting the beer glass on the small table in front of me, I leaned my body against the shoulder of the sofa, "I'm not that naive. Having a purpose in life is a great thing in my opinion compared to me who has nothing to achieve.." My eyes stared at the glass table before me.
"You know your wife's tiiduur with someone else?"
Charles's question, which suddenly changed the topic, made me laugh. Sighing heavily while looking at Cleo who was asleep on Charles' shoulder made me smile, "Yes.I know."
"Then, this."
Charles slowly leaned Cleo's head against the shoulder of the sofa, before he placed a map on the glass table before me.
I took it and opened the map, there was only one sheet there.
Reading what was written there, I chuckled again, "What is this? Charles?"
Charles smiled, "The Letter of Agreement. You just need to sign there, and just leave everything to me."
"Right as well. Now I understand the meaning of the great opportunity," I muttered while patting the paper inside the folder.
"Hows it? Find your happiness there. I'll help you out a lot from here."
"Hmm, it says here I have a time limit..What does that mean?"
"If you have completed that time limit, you are free to choose. First, settle down and second, come back."
"That's all?"
Charles nodded his head and straightened the whiskey from inside his glass, "Only that. Here's my gift to you. That signature is just proof that you agreed to be one of my guinea pigs in the latest version of B-Tra Verse 1.0"
I smiled and took my pen out of my pocket before signing the small box that was inside the paper.
"Aahaha, that fast?" charles asked in his laughter. I nodded my head, "I don't have anything here. My parents are both gone. No more family, not even my wife"
"Easy! Now, where do you want to start your story?" cut Charles while showing his tablet screen.
"What if my story starts with my divorce papers signing? Then, I lost my wallet because now you're taking it, aren't you?" I answered while pressing one of the buttons on the tablet screen.
"True, then I'll make you confused there, because suddenly find your phone and wallet in the world...if your brain tries to think about this world, the chances of you being able to return are only 0.001 percent. That's the danger of B-Tra Verse."
"Ah, it'll be fun."
Hearing me, Charles suddenly fell silent before saying, "Kaoru, you can still reject all of this and return to your previous life. Like go see? Or looking for a new job?" charles looked at me seriously.
Shaking my head, "No need. I also want to see the world of our creation."
"Kaoru, are you crazy?"
"really so. Crazier than you."
"Aahaha! Then, prepare to be surprised there, Kaoru. I really want to see you happy."
That's what Charles said before everything
DARKENED.
