The Unexpected Future

The Bad Luck

Man, it hurts like hell. I don't know when it’s gonna stop. Sigh…., looks like I need to go to the hospital again. Man, I have lost count now of how many times it’s been now I have been to labs and hospitals but it always turns out the same, everyone says everything is fine.

Time: 2:00 AM

Huh….

Where am I, wait I was sleeping but how the hell I am here,

It looks like I am not dead but how am I here, it looks like a void but how do I get out. It seems I am lost.

“Hello Traveler, it seems you are lost”

Wait, Who are you? , Where are you? , why am I even here in the first place? How the hell do I get out? When even……….

“It seems you have a lot to ask but I may be able to tell you this that you are chosen and you have to participate whether you like it or not”

“& one more thing before I go, Your Headaches, don’t worry about it you will be fine from now on, it seems my time's up. We'll meet up soon when our fates will meet each other”

Time: 8:00 AM

It feels like I had a weird dream last night, but it seems my headache is gone. Now, I can finally kick my day off with no worries but what was that about that ‘I was chosen and all' it feels straight out of some classic novel, but whatever why do I care.

(Door clicks!)

Huh, what the hell? What is this how the hell' (Cough! Cough! Cough!)

(Administrator: Developing poison resistance, endurance level up)

(Sprints back in the house while coughing)

What the hell, what’s going on it doesn’t look like my neighbourhood but the language outside on advertisement seems the same.

(Turns on the television)

(News: Weather Report, Today August 23, 6042 records the highest AQI with 8099, and soon it seems the drought will continue with no signs of rain, Now onto the next news…….)

(Turns off the Television)

Aghhhhhhhhhh ( Shouts at top of his voice)

It looks like I am in a dream, maybe if I sleep everything will go to normal. But it doesn’t look like it’s a dream. So I may be in future.

Now, that I think about it I had a dream where I was referred to as a traveller maybe that means I travelled in time. And judging by the fact that my headache is gone, it might be related to it. But what was that voice I heard when I stepped outside for a minute? And looks like the language is still the same but the conditions on earth have worsened.

For now, I should sum up my situation,

• My headache stopped

• I travelled into time to future

• Apparently, I am referred to as a traveller

• The pollution increased, rainfall stopped, and drought occurred.

• And still don’t know about the voice I heard

• And doesn’t clearly understand the dream.

Now, it's gonna be a long day.

Sigh…..

Now, it's safe to assume that I have travelled in time rather than travelled to another world.

Now according to the News, it's the year 6042 which means I have travelled more than 4000 years, which means the earth will be completely different from what I know.

Man, this is gonna be a drag! I neither know how long will I be here nor have any clue.

Maybe I can just ask when I meet that person next time. I just hope that I don't die of air pollution the AQI difference is too much, (Thinking: The humans must have adapted to it over time.)

(Administrator: Hello Traveller, I am Code06 I am an administrator & in charge of you during your travel feel free to ask anything)

(Thinking: Man it comes sooner than I expected but should start carefully, it might be a trap who knows what's in the future.)

Hello, Why am I here?

"Just Because You are Chosen."

But what does being chosen mean anyway?

"I am afraid, I can't tell you that "

(Thinking: I half expected it) Okay, now I am here, What do I Have to do? Won't I will die of air pollution and all?

"It seems now I see why you are chosen, you are quick to adapt, and it's useful for your survival,

Rest assured, you won't die of air pollution or any other type of pollution because you will develop the immunity against it and you have already developed it against air"

I see so it works on the basic principle of antigen-antibody mechanism but is a bit different.

So, What do I do Now?

"Let's Proceed to the main task, You are bought here for a special reason, In this world, The beginning is the end and the end is the beginning and you need to break that cycle"

For God's Sake, When are you going to give me a good answer to any important question.

"Here's a tip, Just live like a Citizen of this world and you will uncover the truth on your own"

And you expect me to believe that, how am I going to indulge myself among these people, the difference between time gap is huge, I can't even begin to think what's will be there for me.

" You will be given a task from time to time and on completing that you will get a chance to talk to me. Oh! looks like my time's up. Bye Bye Traveller"

Man, I should just sleep, for now, it's too much to digest for now, and maybe I will go back to my world if I sleep.

(After falling Asleep)

" It seems you are trying to go back in time by falling asleep, but I am afraid you can't go back again"

Wait, What I can't speak this time. What the Hell!

Time to Explore

Ah! It's that dream again, looks like I can't get proper sleep also. Anyway, it's 6:00 AM already, I should get out of bed and a better start on ways to survive. I Don't wanna die yet.

Hmmm, It would be weird if I go out with my dressing sense, I should search want people here wear.

I didn't notice it at first but now I see only the outside world is changed but my house is also the same, the means this land would be registered under some name or something.

Let's see what people wear so that I can head out,

there should be something.

I should probably check on television, (Thinks: My Tv works fine even though it's more than 4000 years old, whatever)

After wondering and looking for 30 minutes

It looks like people here wear dresses like space suits called 'fixtures' because of the poor air pollution and increasing UV radiation But from where do I get that in the first place.

It's one thing after another, I guess my bad luck is at its peak (FYI: He is known to have misfortune)

Let's see

WTF!!!!!!!!! (saws on television)

(News: Today's Headlines: Global warming on other planets is increasing at an alarming rate and by the next 10 years mars, Earth, Jupiter And Venus are going to cease to exist. The government has announced a high-level meeting with the Presidents of all the planets for the accommodation of refugees from these planets.

Now, onto the next news

Today, The annual purchase of fixtures is starting and the government aims to distribute it to the public freely, those who want to receive it need to register themselves through their Z-Card.)

(Tv Off)

What the hell is Z - Card,

So, to sum up, to get out of the house I need a fixture and to get a fixture I need to get Z-Card. Good Grief

If they were going to transfer me here they should have done this already. ( T/N: He is referring to the dream or administrators that tells them what to do)

(Administrator: It looks like you're in trouble you should have just asked me.)

How would I contact you though?

(Administrator: Did I forget to tell you that you can call me anytime you want just by chanting 'Drip' 3 times! Oh my bad At least now you know)

Why You [Makes an angry face]

Ok just tell me how can I get Z-Card. Although, I wanted to ask so much.

(Administrator: Oh that, People in this era generally have that by birth but since you are a special case, I will have you register through a person I know and she will explain everything else to you regarding this world)

Ok, And Are you sure you are not forgetting something this time!

(Administrator: There are other time travellers beside you okay and since there is no evolution in the homo sapiens species so you will be fine even if people spot you because time travelling is possible now but not to the extent from where you came.)

Ah! That solves a lot of problems, now I can wander freely after Z-Card.

(Administrator: Also many green spots have relatively low AQI as compared to the outside world. And your house comes in one of that green spots, so you can go freely outside without fixtures, although you have resistance to them)

And anything else......

(Administrator: Yes, Here's a Contact to that person I was talking about. Till Then Goodbye)

..............After Searching and collecting information for another 3 Hours...............

So, This world contains Z-Card as identity and to register for that one needs to go to the registration centre that is located in green spots.

There are a total of 876 Green Spots which are of 750m radius each which means I don't have to go far and I can go out without fixtures because my house falls in one of them. Also, they are called preservation spots.

Now Off I Go

Man the world sure has changed a lot, it feels like I am in a dream, whatever I used to imagine is already present in this world. As I Can remember

Her name was 'Sophia' who will help me complete my registration.

But I still can't let go of the fact that there is another time traveller, something about it doesn't seem right. For now, I should focus on what's next

[He reached the Registration Centre]

Sophia: Oh you must be Blake, And you are here for your registration right.

Blake: Correct

Sophia: I don't even know from where Arther brings a guy like you who doesn't have Z-card and how come you were living up until now without one.

Blake:( Thinks: Arther, I think the administrator goes by this name, and the question is well asked, from my experience I know if I am unable to satisfy her it might be a problem)

Sophia: Hello, Spacing Out In a broad daylight.

Blake: Ah! Sorry, What did You say? ( I'll try pretending I didn't hear her question)

Sophia: Oh! No worries, that was nothing important. Let's start your registration.

[After 15 Minutes]

Sophia: And it's done

Blake: Oh! Thanks a lot

Now, I can finally explore the area, I should just start with my green spot, but she was quite smart for a civil servant.

Oh! How did I miss it! I should taste the food that this century has. At home, I am used to eating cup noodles.

Ah man but for payment what type of currency should I use,

Hey Drip Drip Drip

[Administrator pops out of thin air]

Geez, You scared the hell out of me and what's with that appearance of yours, Ah that must be your Arther Appearance.

( Administrator: Let's get straight to the point, why did you call me?)

I want you to give me money that is used in this world.

(Administrator: Why Should I, Shouldn't you try to earn it yourself rather than asking me.)

[Blake with an angry face] Hey You guys started this mess, so I should at least get some payment for your work, I am a top-class Detective after all.

(Administrator: You want some payment so you should get a job instead of asking me, unfortunately, there is nothing I can do)

Ah! Useless as ever You are

(Administrator: Ok Till Then Bye)

How the hell can he have no expression while saying bye.

I should get home, for now, then I will look for a job,

it looks like I'll have to eat cup noodles today also.

Job Lookout

August 26, 6042

It's been few days since I am here and I still can't believe the fact that I am here in this world.

(With annoyed face...) And thanks to whoever, let's call him mr. invisible I can't even get a proper sleep. He comes in every one of my dreams and leave me a twisted group of words and I can't even do anything about it.

I tried asking the administrator but it didn't work he said he is unable to answer that question.

Honestly, in almost more than 90% of question he gives the same reply.

Let's look for job for now, I wonder if there are any part-time, and freelancing type jobs. but where do is search, now that I think about it from the time I entered in this world I haven't used the internet. I wonder if my 4G data will work in this era and time period.

It looks like there is nothing that I can do in this world, I was detective in the previous world because the pay was good and I didn't have to do much work but now that I think about it I really don't have any skills and the common work is already replaced by the robots. I think I should ask Sophia for work.

Maybe I will put a good impression on her this way, hehehe:)

<------Blake leaves-------->

<-------reaches the registration office------->

Hello, Sophia

Sophia: Hello ah! (Thinks hard) ya Mr.blake How can I help you.

Blake: Ah Since FYI I ma very hardworking so I am looking for a well paying job. Do you happen to know some of them.

Sophia: Ah! Mr. Blake You were unemployed, No wonder you didn't required Z-Card and you still call yourself hardworking, I must say you are something.

Blake: That hurts.

Sophia: Anyways, since you are looking for a job and we are shorthanded so you can apply here.

If you say I will apply you here, and don't worry about pay it's one of the best in city Xrion.

Blake: That would be nice. thank you ( Thinks: Now that I think about it I knew that planets are divided and all but didn't knew the city name, thanks to her I now know that too).

Sophia: You're in luck mr. blake, your application is accepted.

Blake: Thats a rare event.

Sophia: Why is it rare?

Blake: I am know to have bad luck but it didn't seem to work here, maybe because of you.

Sophia: Ah! You flatter me, it's nothing. If you want you can start from right now.

Blake: Nope I'll pass that. I think i will join from tomorrow only. Till Then Bye.

Sophia: (taking to someone) Yes sir Code 09 just arrived here looking for a job,

no, he didn't ask anything.

I don't think he even has a clue about all this.

Unknown man: Let's see Code09 how will you handle your first task.
