Greylight: The Great Darkness

Prologue

"They're not going to do what I asked? But why? I paid them more!"

Instead of screaming,you can just try to find a solution.

"Solution? As long as this continues I won't be able to pay my rent and if I don't pay my rent that means I can't pay them too."

This looks like a bacteria more like a mosquito shaped one,I wonder if it's the cause of the pandemic.

"Seriously? I'm about to lose my mind and you're telling me about bacterias?"

If you're going to lose it,you better go to the testing room. You can break anything you want but keep in mind that she won't be too happy about it.

"You know what? You piss me off! All you do is stay here and work,the only thing you know is to work your *** off!"

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱?

Green eyes, strawberry blonde hair, and pale skin. Her fantastic rules didn't expire throughout the ten-year war, and being nine at that time prevented her for gaining more knowledge about the conflict.

She had a love of reading historical books about queens and kings,an interest that later turned into a wish.

One of her fantasies was to build her own castle, and her fantasies were incredible.

Marrying the wealthy was not an option because she is wealthy herself, and marriage was not an option either,her ideal partner was one who was well-educated and capable of fulfilling all of her fantasies,even the most outlandish.

Her daughter was the result of an affair she had with a villager,whom she executed after accusing him of stealing the queen's crown during the twenty year battle.

Her daughter was also an educated prodigy whose paintings were one-of-a-kind. Painted with Linseed oil and vibrant colours, nobody could tell what she was painting sometimes,her way of doing it was different from the usual and the technique used wasn't ordinary. Not being in the Ancient times was quite difficult for her career to succeed and the decision was made.

After high school, she's going to go to college even against her will.

Even though she didn't want it,she stil needed to,her mothers expectations were just too hard to handle as if it was getting stranger and stranger when the time finally got there it was also the time she knew that even if she tried to do something her punishment will be just too hard to handle and at some point it will eat her up like a fountain full of cold water,the bright look and the bright smile, all resembled her mother, she's got her father's hair and also gained the looks from him. He wasn't there but she felt him every time she wanted to escape the hell she was trapped in. The maid and the scientist being her only friends.

An enigmatic letter

You know what, I'm sick of it!" Mei said this while starring at the ceiling. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears and her sweet expression has changed.

Being an only child wasn't a big deal,but the fact that your mother expects you to be someone you're not. Painting and feeling satisfied when your painting gets attention and good words is more than enough for an average painter to feel satisfied. Art school was also an option but her mother never made it a priority. She wants her to be a fragile woman,a woman that can only survive at the touch of a man. She wanted her to be a player,to have all the boys in the village at her control so that the other mothers would be jealous. She always liked to wear clothes that give ancient feelings because as her mother she loved history.

Mei, you're going to have to endure it! I did not birth you to be a failure! All those people call you a prodigy,why can't you act like one?

"How is a prodigy supposed to act? Like a slave? Just leave me alone!"

What are you saying? Have you lost your mind,this is the chance of a life time, you're will be enrolled at the best college. You'll meet other prodigies like you,how can you stay there and cry when you were given such a chance?

"You don't have any idea on how I feel! The only person you think of is yourself and how proud is grandma going to be if I get there! Grandma said that I can do whatever I want!"

You're such a shame! You don't even know how much I spent on you and your stupid art supplies! You were stealing money to buy them even when I refused to buy you.

"What was I supposed to do when you didn't even care about my mental health? Painting is like an hobby for me,I want to make a living with it!"

Open the door or else I'm killing you with my bare hands!

"Kill me, I'm your offspring anyways!"

After a while,there was no noise to be heard,and the only noise she could hear was the sound of singing birds.

She could hear them since her room had a window through which they could sleep peacefully and sing as the days passed.

Hearing them sing was like receiving a divine blessing. They assisted her in gradually escaping the horror she was trapped in.

She was arranging her clothes in a wardrobe she'd had since she was a child, in which she kept a lot of things. She didn't say she needed them, but she did say she keeps them so she can remember who she was before the fame she thought she'll have.

Her mother compelled her to attend to college on the last day before she started. Her mournful expression hid all the things he sought to deceive.

Her being the result of an affair was also a problem to her vanity,her selfishness often showed up in different situations and it made her angrier and angrier until the anger ate her up till she was completely insane. Her life was at the hands of her mother now. She always carved with the sand trying to make a face, the face of a fragile girl,the sea waves always destroyed it,it was because there was no place for her work in a world full of haters.

One of the pigeons that often came to her window came this time with a letter in its beak.

Who could have been the one that send it?

It seems like it's such an enigmatic letter.

I can't even call it a letter even though it looks like one it's more of an invitation. At the game center? But it's an unusual name

"Shèjì lùjìng"

So this is where I'm supposed to be?

What kind of a name is "Shèjì lùjìng"?

When I noticed a small button on the invitation, I couldn't stop myself and pressed it.

"This is where the fun really starts!

Who are you?

"You may not recognize me, Mei... yet I'm your enemy.

I'm going to torture you until you beg me to return your freedom, but we have to pretend like I'm your friend for this to work."

Why would I ever pretend that my enemy is a friend?

"Instead, you should ask yourself how you're going to get out; after all, transmigrating to another universe doesn't seem like such a bad idea."

Transmigration?

My eyes slowly closed as I felt something stab me. All I could see was blood covering the area as I slowly pass out.

Where I'm?

"Hands up! Or else I'll cut your head off with this sword!"

Sword? Who are you?

"This is the thing I should ask you not the thing you should ask me!"

How I'm supposed to know who you are if you are the one waiting for an answer? At least tell me,quit playing around!

"Don't scream at me,you piece of crap! Who are you?"

Listen,calm down so I can say what I need to say. First of all I'm Mei and second of all I don't even know how I got there. Can you at least tell me your name so we can communicate better and without someone getting hurt?

"I'm Li Jie."

Ok,Li Jie,listen to me carefully, I'm from the real world I don't know how I got there!

"Wait a second,that means that we are the exact same? I'm a human too and I don't know how I got there. Sorry for my bad behaviour I just like to be protective, you see I have another girl with me she's scared and confused and I swore to protect her at any cost."

That's sweet, what's her name?

"Fen."

Ok so where is Fen?

"She's in the tent,just follow me and you will see it."

Ok.

After a little stroll,I finally see her,Fen.

White hair, pale skin, and hazel eyes. Her beautiful appearance could only be a reflection of the innocence she possesses,she didn't appear to understand what was going on, and she appeared to have been brought here for no apparent purpose. But one thing was clear,she just wanted to escape.

"W-who are you? Get away from me! I'm sure you're the one that caused my state! You came to kill me, right? Just do it,kill me! Just do it already!"

I'm not here to kill you,as you I don't even know how I got here. I was stabbed and then I woke up there.

"Then you're not gonna kill me?"

No,Fen, I'm not gonna kill you,calm down.

"Ok..."

Li Jie we have to find a way to escape.

"How can we do that when we don't even have a stable plan? We can't just go and beg for a new portal to appear..."

That's what we should try to not beg for one to appear.

"I think I recognise you from somewhere, you're Mei Wu!"

Where did you hear of me?

"You're known in my village as a great painter."

The field we were on started to shake and I felt dizzy again.

I woke up again but this time in a room full of people,next to Fen and Li Jie.

Fen! Li Jie! Wake up!

"Oh my,it seems like one of the players has woken up from the deep sleep I put her in."

"So then,the game can begin."
