章 1: Prologue
In a society where being born in a third-world country often meant a life of struggle, Alex Brohn made a promise to his family: he would lift them out of the poverty that had gripped them for generations. His parents had worked tirelessly, sacrificing their own dreams to ensure he had a chance at a better life. Alex was determined to repay their efforts and fulfill the promise he had made to himself and his family.
Now, he had finally done it. After years of hard work and dedication, he had graduated from college with honors and secured a job as a Software Developer at a top-tier company in his country. This was a monumental achievement, not just for him, but for his entire family. It was a beacon of hope, a sign that their fortunes were about to change.
As Alex prepared for his first day at work, he felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. He had always been a diligent student, but this was the real world, and the stakes were higher. He wanted to make a good impression and prove that he was worthy of the opportunity he had been given.
His mother, watched him with pride as he got ready. She had always believed in him, even when times were tough. She approached him with his bag, a look of maternal concern on her face.
"Take care, Alex," she said, her voice filled with both pride and a hint of worry.
"Thanks, Mom!" Alex replied, smiling as he took the bag from her. He could see the tears welling up in her eyes, and he knew how much this moment meant to her.
"Take care while I'm gone," he added, giving her a reassuring hug. "I'll make you proud."
She nodded, wiping away a tear. "I know you will, my son. You've always made us proud."
With a final wave, Alex stepped outside, the thrilling expression on his face reflecting his anticipation for the day ahead. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden hue over the city. The streets were already bustling with activity as people went about their daily routines.
As he walked towards the bus stop, Alex couldn't help but reflect on his journey. Growing up in a modest household, he had always been determined to break free from the cycle of poverty. His parents had instilled in him the values of hard work and perseverance, and he had taken those lessons to heart. He remembered the late nights spent studying, the part-time jobs he had taken to support his education, and the countless sacrifices his family had made to ensure he had a chance at a better life.
The bus ride to the office was a blur of thoughts and emotions. Alex found himself lost in a sea of memories, each one a testament to the journey he had undertaken. He thought about his friends and classmates, many of whom had not been as fortunate. He felt a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunities he had been given and a renewed determination to make the most of them.
Arriving at the office, Alex was greeted by the sight of a sleek, modern building. The company's logo was prominently displayed above the entrance, a symbol of the success and innovation that awaited him inside. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for the challenges ahead.
As he entered the building, he was struck by the energy and vibrancy of the place. The lobby was filled with people, all of them bustling about with a sense of purpose. Alex felt a surge of excitement as he realized that he was now a part of this dynamic environment.
He was greeted by a friendly receptionist who directed him to the orientation room. There, he joined a group of new hires, all of them eager and enthusiastic. The orientation session was a whirlwind of information, but Alex soaked it all in, eager to learn and grow.
Throughout the day, Alex met his new colleagues and supervisors. He was introduced to his team, a diverse group of talented individuals who welcomed him warmly. He quickly realized that he was surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the industry, and he felt both humbled and inspired.
As the day progressed, Alex found himself immersed in his work. He tackled his assignments with a sense of purpose, drawing on the skills and knowledge he had acquired over the years. He was determined to prove himself and make a meaningful contribution to the team.
By the end of the day, Alex was exhausted but exhilarated. He had faced numerous challenges, but he had also experienced the thrill of overcoming them. He felt a deep sense of satisfaction as he reflected on his accomplishments.
As he made his way home, he decided to take a jeepney, the most common mode of public transport in his city. The jeepney was crowded, as usual, but Alex managed to find a seat near the back. He leaned back, letting the hum of the engine and the chatter of the passengers wash over him. It was a familiar, comforting sound.
As the jeepney made its way through the bustling streets, Alex found himself drifting off to sleep. The day's events had taken their toll, and he was exhausted. He closed his eyes, letting the gentle rocking of the vehicle lull him into a light doze.
Suddenly, a strange sensation jolted him awake. He felt a tingling in his fingertips, quickly spreading throughout his body. He opened his eyes, only to find that the world around him was beginning to blur and distort. Panic surged through him as he tried to make sense of what was happening.
"H-help me!" Alex bellowed, his voice filled with fear. The jeepney driver glanced back in the rearview mirror, his eyes widening in shock.
The jeepney's acceleration went awry as the driver struggled to control the vehicle. Passengers screamed and clung to their seats as the jeepney swerved wildly. Alex's heart pounded in his chest as the tingling sensation intensified, the light around him growing brighter and more blinding.
Finally, with a blinding flash, Alex vanished into thin air. The light engulfed him completely, and then everything went dark.
