The moment the simulation ended, a sense of the world spinning overwhelmed Duge, as if he were gripped by a powerful suction force.
Once he regained normality, he reopened his eyes—his personal panel had disappeared.
What came into view was a crystal-clear water surface.
His entire body was submerged beneath the water, with no protective measures in place.
However, he could breathe easily, just as if he were in the air, without any discomfort, feeling warm and comfortable.
Above the water, the technologically advanced hatch of the capsule was slowly lifting, accompanied by a repetitive mechanical voice: "Assessment ended, please exit the simulation capsule. Assessment ended, please exit the simulation capsule…"
He indeed had not returned to his body on Earth!
Ignoring the mechanical voice, Duge lay in the assessment capsule, pondering his future.
At this moment,
He didn't know whether to feel fortunate or sorrowful.
