Chapter 4 [Worlds Apart]

~~~~~

Adam slowly sat up without a word. He placed a hand on his forehead, he was still a little confused at what had happened. Jason peered into Adam's eyes and searched his face with curiosity.

"So....?" Jason started.

Adam looked at him blankly, "Huh?"

Jason's face twitched in annoyance, "How was it? Tell me what you experienced, anything seemed odd. Possible things I should fix?"

"Oh..." Adam thought for a moment, "Well, I heard voices. An argument, not sure. I've never heard those voices before, and I heard something that I think was supposed to be a name, but it was garbled and hard to hear."

Jason made a funny face, "I'm talking about the respawn, I don't need those trivial details!"

Adam flinched, "Right, sorry. It was fine. I pressed the button and woke up here, It was..." Adam paused, what was it like? Honestly it felt so weird to be here. Seriously, he should be dead. He was just a Human rank, he shouldn't be alive. He should be dead, "it was a surreal experience. It feels odd but amazing, dying and coming back to life like this. I honestly can't tell if I'm dreaming or if this is real--" Jason stood up and gave Adam a really hard slap on the back.

"Good! Good! That's great, see I knew my invention would work, they pretty much always do. Well, I'm done with you for now, Dr. Sparklez will explain the after steps, after that do whatever, I don't care just take care of that amulet," Jason waved his hand in a dismissal manner and left the hospital like ward.

That slap caused Adam to snap back into reality and he flinched and watched Jason leave barely a moment after he finished his recount of his experiences.

"Well Mr. Azure, it seems everything is working well for you and the AM77.32 R3sPaWn. I just need to go over a few pointers before I let you go, ok?"

Adam nodded, "Good," she smiled.

"First, as per the contract, you'll be staying here in the AHD base in order to allow us to frequently track your progress and make sure the AM77.32 is in good condition. Preparations for your enrollment into the AHD training program have already been filed, you'll begin Player training as soon as possible in order to increase your abilities to allow for optimal success with the AM77.32--"

"Wait!" Adam interrupted, "Did you say enrollment?" She nodded, "Into the AHD?" She nodded again, "As a Player!?"

"Yes, that is correct--"

"I. Can't. Believe. This!" Adam jumped up and shouted, he pumped his fist in the air as a celebration.

"Oh, a few other things, Jason stresses the importance in wearing that amulet at all times. Never to remove it otherwise it cannot force a respawn should you die. Also, if you look at the back there should be a set of numbers. The current value should be a 09, this represents the number of respawns you have left. Should that reach 0 you'll be a regular human, so work hard to not die." The doctor smiled before turning and leaving Adam in the ward by himself.

Adam felt himself reach for his amulet, his hand wrapped around it's golden frame and he held it up around his neck. The center which was filled with a mysterious purple liquid had been depleted a little, the volume was slightly less. He flipped the amulet over, a black screen that was not transparent from this side, but transparent from the other side had two numbers lit up.
