The Virtual World

The First Encounter Part Two

As they enter it, the cave seems to slowly turn into a digital world. The cave's ceiling of rocks suddenly became a smooth opaque screen that showed matrices of numbers.

They were so amazed by their surroundings that they didn't even noticed they weren't moving because the waters vanished. One of them started to leap out of the boat but he was in mid-air when he saw the ground, the ground was like 10,000 feet below, he freaked out, his coworkers wondered why and one of them peeked to the ground, he instantaneounsly had the fear of heights as he saw that their yacht was floating in the air.

The miner that leaped off the yacht was still screaming but what they are wondering about is that his voice isn't lowering down. Then one of them bravely peeked again just to see his coworker there in the ground, hysterically screaming, not even falling.

"The ground is just an illusion! Stop being hysterical their and open your eyes!", one of the miners said.

The miner slowly opened his eyes just to know he's sitting on the ground that was like painted with the scenario.

"Whoa! This painting is so realistic! It freaked me out!", he said.

He stood up slowly, all of his coworkers leaped out of the boat then suddenly their yacht disappeared in no time! The ground changed its appearance part by part, it became steel. The walls became like floating translucent screens, there were codes written in english but they can't understand what it wants to say. Not too distant infront of them was a portal, light blue in color, they hurriedly went to it.

They knew they mustn't went that far but they were just very amazed that they kept on moving forward just to be amazed again and again.

"It's my first time to see things like this!", one of them amazingly said.

As they approach the portal, one of them rushed through it. The others, not knowing where their coworker was thrown, they felt a little bit scared.

After some minutes, they'd finally decided what to do, they will enter the portal together.

Two of them were thrown to a place that really amazed them for the first time.

There were many radars, many gigantic ENIAC-like computers surrounding them. The place was so big! It was like two soccer field merged together!

And when they looked up, there was a perfect circle hole that is about 50 meters in diameter, they saw the sun but can't feel its warmth.

After seeing those things, they started to wondered where their other coworkers are.

Two large screens suddenly appeared infront of them and they just can't believe what they saw.
