《The Owl Of Death》 Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Unknown Standing in the middle of the street of the village with frightened, scared face because of what is happening around me. The whole village was swallowing by the fire, and the people were running and screaming, either they are covered with fire, or their children screaming and shouting for their family, to remove the fire from their burned skins. At this point, I reach my limits and started looking at the sky in order not to see the burned people on the ground with there melted bodies. After all these things, my tears started running out of my eyes and my heart started beating so fast until I think it¡¯s stopped. ¡° Why? Why are we living in hell, while we are still alive?¡± he whispered while he is looking at the night sky that was filled with dark smoke and the peoples'' souls. (Before a month) Walking down to the train to go to my work. When I arrived to the factory, everybody was sad and angry. I was so confused, so I asked the guy who is sitting beside me. ¡° What is happening?¡± I said. ¡° I can''t tell you now¡­¡± he said quietly. Suddenly, a voice start screaming behind us. ¡° Do you want to get fired. Work!¡± the voice behind us. I looked behind me, there was a man standing up stairs looking at us. It was the first time to me to see him, then I turned back knowing that he is the new boss of our factory that the owner spoke about him yesterday. (At the break time) My mate and I were sitting on the bench talking about the new boss. ¡° look mate, what did happen before I came?¡± I asked. ¡° he fired Joshua and Jim to replace them with his brother and his nephew.¡± He said. ¡° but¡­¡± surprisingly I continued. ¡° but they are two of the most professional workers here¡­ how?¡± ¡° we cannot say anything because the boss is the brother of the owner of this factory.¡± ¡° so¡­ this is why you all of you were angry.¡± I said. ¡° yeah¡­¡± he has been interrupted. One of the workers yelled to me. ¡° Shinra, the boss need you right now!¡± he said. ¡° what..¡± in a confused voice, I yelled at him. ¡° why? What does he want from me?¡± ¡° I don¡¯t know Shinra, his secretary only told me to call you.¡± My mate put his hand on my shoulder and he said. ¡° go before he becomes angry.¡± When I entered his office and even before I said good morning, he said that I am fired. ¡° but sir why?!¡± with an anxious voice. ¡° you came this morning late by 3 minutes, and that¡¯s not allowed.¡± And continued writing and said. ¡° collect your stuff and go out.¡± ¡° please sir, if you fired me now, I will be broke and I know that nobody will accept me, so please, I begging you sir..¡± I said it with tears in my eyes. He looked at me with cold eyes and said. ¡° when you finished now? you can go now, or do you want me to the security in order to throw you out like a trash.¡± He said it with ridiculous smile in his face. This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.¡° I will go by myself, sir, but what about my payment for this month.¡± ¡° you will take it, if you suck my toe.¡± He said it with even bigger smile. ¡° what¡­?¡± I shockingly answered it. ¡° you heard it, suck it and I will give you; your payment.¡± He said. I looked at the ground whispering to myself. ¡° so¡­ I should step on my dignity and suck his toe only for some money¡­ I really hate myself.¡± ¡° what, yes or no?!¡± he shout. I stand in front of him and knee down. Then he removed his shoe and his socks and lift his leg and put it in front of my face. ¡° here we go!¡± with a huge smile on his face. ¡° be gentle with me, hahaha¡­¡± (At the door of the factory) When I was going out from the factory, my mate came at me and stopped me. ¡° where are you going Shinra with this bag?¡± he asked me in an anxious way. ¡° everything have finished bro, everything.¡± With cold voice I answered him, then left. When he came back inside, everyone gathered around him. ¡° did you meet Shinra¡­?¡± random worker ¡° did you see Shinra¡­?¡± also random worker Everyone started asking him about Shinra, so he yelled at them. ¡° guys! Please relax and tell me what¡¯s going out.¡± ¡° when Shinra left the room, the Secretary entered after 5 minutes, to see the boss¡¯s neck destroyed and ripped, while the blood is everywhere in the room.¡± Someone answered him. ¡° this is why he changed his clothes¡­¡± then he looked at the ground. ¡° what have you done, Shinra.¡± He whispered. After I left the factory, I booked a room in a small motel to take a rest until the night, then go to find a small shelter or anything to escape the police. (At the midnight) I left the motel and thankfully no one noticed me while I am leaving. After walking about a hour in narrow roads only to avoid the police, there was a man with completely black suit standing beside a column in one of these roads, smoking cigarette. When I passed him, he said. ¡° hi Shinra, finally we meet.¡± I turned to look at him, his face was unfamiliar to me, but his wide smile and his looks was as if he knew me from a long time. ¡° who are you?¡± I asked him. ¡° hi Astor.¡± He said. ¡° how¡­¡± in a surprising way I continue. ¡° how did you know my old name.¡± ¡° we know everything about you, even what happened to you, especially today or before 10 years ago.¡± ¡° who are you?¡± in a very shockingly expression, I asked him. ¡° you have 2 choices; accept our offer or I will kill you here in a way as if you commit suicide.¡± The fear started swallowing me slowly and I said in a very careful way. ¡° what is your offer?¡± ¡° take this pill.¡± ¡° what is this pill.¡± I asked. ¡° take it or die.¡± When I swallowed this pill, all my body started to shake and I felt a high temperature rising in my body, then I fall down and lost consciousness. But while I was falling down, I heard him saying. ¡° good luck in your game¡­¡± Chapter 2: The Owl Project After Shinra fell down on the street because of the pill that he took, he opened his eyes slowly to find himself on the grassland and surrounding him trees and bushes. He was confused because how he ended up here, his whole body felt strange as if he is new born man. After he started looking around he found a letter beside him, and on its front cover said ¡°The Owl Project¡±. However he opened it, and found a key and paper written on it. { Dear player, You have chosen to be an contestant in our experiment ¡°The Owl Project¡±.
