Chapter 2 - Light in the darkness

"Hm.. wait!

"I can "Hm", where am I?" everything was perfectly black in there

"I can't see a thing,"

"wait a minute"

"what am I?"he can't see his body there's no way to tell

"I can't feel my body , my consciousness's there but where ? It's so dark ?"

"Ah this was some kind of reincarnation based type of setting"

...

"I don't know how much time has passed"

"Reincarnation,huh? what was i expecting?

"I guess this is how it ends for everyone,I mean no one ever knew what happens after death! ,But i can feel the floor beneath me"

Suddenly bright light flashed out of nowhere and went dark again

"Ah!"he closed his eyes due to pupil dilation (he wasn't ready for pupil constriction)

He finally opened his eyes he could see something now

" Hoh! What was that? Huh! I can see something in the dark but not sure what it is ! But something unlike what I could see before,something yet nothing"

"Wow ,I should have become a poet before dying"he sees something far in black, something white

"I wonder what it is ?" He starts making steps towards it, he notices that it was a staircase with no base above to ascend

"What the hell? What use a staircase with no ground above, perphaps it is the staircase leading to heaven, only to find out is to climb above"

He climbs up the stairs first noticing the floor getting pushed further below and looks forward and climbs without taking a break

"Is there no end to it?"he sits down on the stairs and checks his pocket and find a pen he used to sign in the police station .

" I should grieving my parent's deathbut here am I. huh ?"

He notices something different in the stairs, and to test it out he places his pen and climbs leaving his pen behind but still watching it

" There is no difference, I climbed 7 stairs and the pen is 7 stairs behind ,maybe I was imagining things "

He starts climbing looking ahead and again after a while he gets exhausted and sits back down and is terrified

"What?, I am sure I climbed past the 7 stairs above my pen but why is there a 8 stairs difference between my pen and me"

He starts climbing down the staircase counting the stairs towards the ground and to his his surprise it's just 68 stairs

"What did I just witness?, Maybe climbing was a bad choice !, Should I wait for the angel to come and get me up ?"

That's when he sensed something behind his back

He turned his head and he noticed something very far in the distance but thanks to his quick instinct living near the jungle he could sense this disturbance

A screen appeared before him

-Escape the first disturbance

Time:5 min

Reward: none

*Death upon failure

"What death ?, I already am dead! Okay enough but still if the whole floor collapses,then stairs will soon fall too!,but if I can stay up the stairs for 5 min , I can survive but the stairs don't update if I look forward, I have to run looking the stairs"

he starts running up the stairs looking below steadily not to use up the remaining energy as he was exhausted.

He saw above , there was a hole at the end of stairs, slowly looking down and got to the floor above

The whole stairs below came crumbling down

'Uff, that was dangerous!' as he saw there was this room like floor like that of a cube with 4 sides of each square of a cube glowing golden and 5 eyes , each one of them on each square except for base and those walls of cube started to shrink towards him and gone .

"What was that?" He fell unconscious

....

....

Silence

"The prince is so beautiful!" Said a strange looking man in a decent looking brown coat and neat polished shoes , who looked like a

noble, he had a vintage smoking pipe and walked with a black cane engraved with golden design

"Quick! get the young Lord dressed ,it's about time , His majesty is going to present the prince publicly" said the maid looked like the head of a young maid

....

"Ah, what happened? It's so bright, where am I ?, Wait I remember being crushed by the looking-eye-cube " he said unable to understand the situation he's in, slowly getting adapted to the light be is shocked

"Wait, how am I alive ? And why are everyone looking at me that way".

"everyone" huh."what is happening?"

"all I can do is think , for some reason I can't talk,pephaps is this reincarnation?, Woohooo I am reincarnated .Hehehe it wasn't fake!!

Yeah I guess it is how there are maids looking at me , but something is different they are looking at a child that weirdly as if I am born differently"

he slowly lifts his hand In the air and sees his tiny hand holding a blue looking dot on the back of his palm

"Is this..?, Is this a stain?"stains were a power of the world where he came from,he thought it would disappear because he transcend across the worlds

Just as he was thinking ,A maid took him jn arms and gave him to a man wearing the crown purely made of gold and a blue crystal embedded in it, wearing a red coloured robe and a kingdom's flag present at his chest, hair in the color blue and pupil colored black and long hair he defined royalty, he was none other than the king of the land

"And My people I present to you , the young Lord of your nation who shall rule you , Prince Cain AurarielXII ".
