It was dark all around, a feeling of nothingness surrounding the young boy lying on the bed.Suddenly, a piercing pain shot through his chest
By now, the young boy started having difficulty in breathing, he staggered his lungs rebelling as if they were filled with smoke, or as if someone had block his airway .
Hel..p! help! He cried out , struggling to say even a word
The pain kept increasing until he lost consciousness. The last thing he saw was nurses and doctors rushing over.
The boy, who was not much older than an eighteen, opened his eyes–but there was nothing.No colors .It was as if even opening his eyes meant nothing, as if he was blind
The boy tried to focus and see, but there was nothing –just darkness.he fell into panic. it was like a nightmare: not being able to see anything, something he had feared his entire life
Then—a sudden flash of light, bright and searing—stabbed through the darkness like a blade. He blinked, shielding his eyes, his breath catching in his throat.
The boy looked around .he seem to be in a room which appear to be endless .A hazy fog covered the entire place .His eyes fell to the ground, where noticed a path– quite unusual compared to the surrounding .While everything else appeared white or grey due to the fog, the path was pitch black
"Should I follow it " he wondered for a moment
He was going to step on the path when a sudden thought came to his mind
"Wait a minute– why the heck am I here?And how did I even get here? Wasn't I just minding my own business , reading s romance mangas in my room?Wait....my hands! They look so cute as if they were never burned during my experiments in the kitchen.Oh!..even my skin tone look different " he said confused , then began examining himself
After carefully examining himself for a while, he came to a realization
""This isn't me. Oh my god, have I been isekai'd? Oh yayyy! Will I be a prince with unlimited money, or a wizard destined to become the final boss? Or something else entirely? Will I save the world?" he continued in his inner monologue.
Several minutes passed while the boy boy was busy fantasizing about his new life. he was so caught up that he didn't notice changes happening around him .the fog has grown thicker and the black path seem almost irritated by the wait, appearing more vicious and ominous than before
"Hmmm, what's going on ?Should I really walk on this gloomy-looking path? Let me just put a foot on it –if nothing happens , then it should be safe
He lifted his foot and placed it on the ominous black path. Fear gripped his heart–but fortunately, nothing happened.
"I was getting anxious for no reason. Come on, let's go see what awaits me," the boy said. His expression shifted from worry to curiosity.
He began walking down the path. With each step, he felt the atmosphere around him slowly start to change. The place that had once been completely white—white rooms, white light, and nothing but that ominous black path capable of striking fear into any human heart—was now transforming. Gradually, colors other than white began to appear.
The fog had began to thin.As boy kept walking, the changes in the surroundings become more noticeable. Suddenly, a faint fragrance filled the air, as if countless flowers were blooming around him. It was a strange shift—especially because there had been no scent at all in this place before.
Such a pleasent scent
The boy looked around and noticed that the farther he walked, the more everything continue to change. Slowly, plants began to appear, followed by clusters of trees. He turned his head from side to side, taking in his surroundings with wide-eyed curiosity and wonder.
This seem like a perfect place to have a picnic , I wonder how would Emma react when she see such a place
He bent down to pluck a flower, but just as he was reached for it, he noticed someone standing ahead of him. The man's back was turned toward him. At a glance, his height seemed nearly identical to the boy's own.
He look familiar...Let's go and ask him what this place is .There is a chances I am just hallucinating but whatever–nothing wrong with saying hello
The boy stepped forward and placed a hand on the man's shoulder.
Hey dude, how are ya?
But the moment the man turned his face, and the boy saw him clearly, all color drained from the boy's face—his expression frozen in pure fear.
You!...you! why the heck you look like me? . Who....who are you ?
The boy stumbled backward and slipped, landing hard on the ground.
Don't be afraid, little guy. it's just that ....you are me, and I am you
A storm of thoughts raced through the boy's mind. He thought, He looks like me... and in webnovels or manga, when someone meets their own self, it usually means trouble. And the way he said, 'you are me and I am you'—it almost sounded like a love confession. That's seriously cringe.
Hey I can hear your thoughts
the person who look like the boy replied
The boy's eyes widened in shock, and a wave of embarrassment washed over him.
