66. Reborn as nonhuman

Chaos engulfs the world, systems that curb man have collapsed, the earth is engulfed in confusion. Civilizations destroyed by major disasters and the emergence of mysterious entities make humans now divided, no one can trust each other.

Family and friends all seem to have no meaning, everyone can turn to attack and betray in order to stay alive.

Strength is the only way to survive, while the weak have only one choice: to be a tool for the powerful.

In the midst of the chaos appeared people who on behalf of their group as the saviors of the messengers of the gods.

If the earth were still fine, society would definitely respond to such a group as a bunch of madmen belonging to a cult.

But in such chaotic times, even groups that look so suspicious easily gain a large following.

Because people believe that a group of crazy people like them are considered more reliable than normal people who are full of deceit.

***

I didn't know what was going on, but I clearly realized that I was in a dream right now. It's like it's happened before, but how could I possibly control my own dreams so often.

This time the dream I saw was no longer about a disaster that was likely to happen in the future, but what I saw this time was the shared memory of my friend Rani.

A memory so short that everything turned so strange. Everything I thought came true in a dream, for example when I remembered about the Goblin army attacking the factory, the thought made many Goblin troops suddenly appear in my dream.

“Hah?, what creature is it!.” Rani in the dream asks about the Goblin army that came out of nowhere.

Rani and I became so frightened that they were surrounded by a monstrous creature that wanted to make us slaves. Seeing that made me not want anything bad to happen to Rani, even though I realized that everything was just a dream.

To help Rani and myself, I imagined each of the goblins getting wanted six-star levels that made those green midget monsters a fugitive of the country.

Not long after the sound of police car sirens and the roar of helicopter engines sounded closer and closer.

“Until the armored fighting car comes.” I said when I saw the place became so crowded.

Without any intention of negotiating, all the police immediately opened fire on the Goblins, the deafening sound of gunfire to the explosion from the Tank cannon, all the chaos that occurred before my eyes looked so real.

“Uwaaaa uwaaaa!.” Rani who doesn't know anything can only cry in fear while hugging me.

It was not long before things became calmer after all the goblins were successfully annihilated. Every police officer who came immediately dispersed after the massacre of the Goblins.

Seeing the npc-like attitude of the police on a video game makes Rani confused. I was about to tell her about the world we currently live in, but suddenly a glitch happened that made the whole dream world erased.

Rani disappeared in front of my eyes, as did the world. Everything disappeared only I was left alone in the middle of the all-white room.

“Even my body...”.

In front of my eyes slowly my body began to disappear into a flake of light leaving my head alone floating in the middle of a quiet room.

By ourselves... ALONE. senDiRiAn...

My head was filled with many different sounds but said one word the same. It made me so frustrated, how could I stop those voices?.

Ding!

Until the sound of the notification bell rang, in an instant my head felt empty, the voices that had previously been so disturbing disappeared just like that.

[Synchronization process successfully performed]

The sound of the system was heard from all over the corner of the white space.

[Doing adjustments to both subjects]

[5%]

[27%]

[64%]

[98%]

[Adjustment process successfully performed]

[There is no conflict between the two subjects]

[Safe status]

I tried to understand what the system said, but there was nothing I could understand.

[Prepaired to install energy core]

“Se.... actually what happened, ke... why this dream so long?.” I tried to share a way to wake up from this strange dream. But all the things I did were fruitless.

[Core mounting process successfully done]

“Di... silence, Aaaaaaaaaa!.”

[The core of the circuit begins to collect energy independently]

The electricity was getting stronger, there was nothing I could do but keep shouting. The pain I felt proved that what I was going through was not a dream.

Then where am I?.

Why do I have to go through all these painful things?.

Where's Arang?.

I miss Rani so much...

“Lia..”.

Is this real? Suddenly I heard Rani's voice. No it was really him, I could see my friend standing in front of me, even though my vision was getting bad because of the pain I was experiencing.

“Lia wake up, Aurelia!.”

The voice that kept calling me started to change. It was no longer the voice of Rina, but the voice of my other friend.

My consciousness was intrigued, moving so quickly away from the white room that it returned to reality.

I feel like someone who has been lying in bed for so long. Looking around, what I saw was the Healer on the right and the Master Builder on the left, both of them were looking at me with strange looks.

The Master Builder rubbed his white beard, while the Healer put on such a complicated face.

[The whole system works fine]

[Congratulations you have been successfully reborn]

“Hah? Reborn what does it mean?.”

Not having time to get an answer, suddenly the Healer hugged me so tightly then a crying voice sounded from him. I could only be silent because I didn't know what to do.

“Is there an error in the memory section?.” said master Builder.

Healer immediately raised his face with a more alarming expression than before.

“Lia, do you still remember me?.” she was so worried, the tears that gathered on her eyelids were like the water of a dam that was about to overflow.

“Of course, how can I forget someone friend who has given me a second chance at life.” I replied with the best smile I could make.

Arang could not help his crying, he hugged me again while sobbing. I tried to calm her down by rubbing her head, but I remembered that I currently had no hands.

“Eh, no deng.”

Somehow a hand made of a bunch of iron moved as I wished, stroking the white hair of the Healer and trying to calm him down.

But what happened may be the opposite. Hands so hard made of iron made Charcoal feel pain like being beaten using an iron hammer.

Not wanting my friend to be angry, I apologized immediately.

“Do you see now any change miss?.” master Builder said as he lit his cigarette.

“If you think about it again I do feel something is awkward.”

I saw two mechanical hands and a robot body?

Legs too?.

Is this real?.

My destroyed body was restored.

Feeling this mechanical body made me feel like I had been reborn, even though I was no longer a human being.
