Hi. My name is Ryce. I'm 14 years old and I study.. somewhere, you don't need to know that actually.
But anyways, one day while I was walking on my way to school I noticed something a bit odd in some dark alleyway. Some water spilled on the floor and for some reason the water just stopped in a spot, almost resembling a square.
Now most people with common sense would usually walk away, but I decided I was a bit daring today and tried to lifted this.. fake floor panel... off the ground.
I'm not sure what I expected but it certainly wasn't the massive underground lab filled with equipment and thingamajigs that I could twiddle around with.
EVERYTHING HERE WAS SO COOL! There was this chair that had some helmet on it connected to a socket, I'm assuming it was a VR headset because my mind won't let me think it was an electrocution chair. There was a chemistry table with elements of every type, but my most favorite one was a glowing yellow elixir.
Before I could actually do anything, however, I heard some footsteps and dropped the vial, shattering it on my foot. I screamed in pain causing the footsteps to come rushing towards me. The next thing I know is that I'm staring face to face with somebody in his.. thirties.. who said "Hello" in this very nice manner. It seemed as if he knew me from somewhere.
I tried to slowly get out of there but the man stopped me. "What is it that you dropped" he asked. I responded with "nothing." The man looked at my foot and said "I see you've dropped my healing potion. I was working on that for days, but.. it's fine I guess, I already have the recipe listed down. You boy, you found my secret lab, did you not?" I responded, still a bit nervous that this man was going to kill me "I did, I just noticed something weird above ground." I'll never forget his tone, it was like a welcoming manner, almost as if he wanted me to come with him. "How about you join me then." And so I did.
