Chapter 5:

"Where am I?"

My Weird Internship


I'm a lil interested in this machine. what does it look like? like a mattress? or will we just be given a device on our heads? maybe they'll give us a hallucination pill?

Suddenly, we were surprised by the appearance of a giant pill that appeared next to our seats. The pill had a very bright silver color, and I think its size and width were adjusted to our bodies.

"And guys... just relax, it won't bite you. And I swear this machine has been proven safe."

"So go ahead and enter your dreampi. don't worry. just relax, I'll be there guiding you from behind. let me show you how this amazing machine works."

After saying that, Mr. Pope pressed the button located in the center of the giant pill. and the pill opened immediately. the narrow pill, there was only a helmet. the shape was the same as the helmet I used to use when cycling. and the pill was filled with colorful lights like the gaming device that my brother always liked. when I looked at these things, I thought that if I stayed there for hours. maybe, it would make me sick, dizzy, or even crazy.

"First, put this helmet on your head. after that, press the button on the right side of your helmet. lastly, you go to Isekai. Simple... you all understand right? If you don't, go back to kindergarten"

"Get ready!!! hurry up losers, or you'll fall more and more behind to the other classes."

"[Boooooo!!!!!] Come be on time first!!!" We all cheered him with a thumbs down.

We went inside the pill. after getting inside, I was surprised by the texture of this pill. I thought it would have a tough texture. but then, this pill has a soft texture just like a bed in a 5-star hotel, but the difference is that this pill stands upright. when I first entered the pill, it felt so amazing. I feel like I was floating in a very far and wide universe.

now it's time for me to try wearing this helmet. when I tried to wear the helmet, the backlight of the pill blinked quickly. I don't know why, but it made my heart start pumping so fast, like an adrenaline rush. after I wore the helmet. suddenly something strange happened to my body. my head started to get dizzy, my body started to collapse. it was like I hadn't slept for five days.

without thinking I pressed the button on my right side, and instantly the door of this pill was closed instantly. and then it became dark, in a moment all the lights that had been on were off, leaving only darkness. because of the shock of the situation, my body returned to normal. in the darkness, I could hear a faint voice that appeared in my ear.

"test...guys... Can you hear me?" it sounds like it's coming from Mr. Pope.

"If you can hear me, then put your hand on the right side of your helmet and speak up."

(Roger that pop 1) (aye aye pop 1) (yea I can clearly hear u pop 1.) I'm pretty sure it's Rudy, Zane, and Irvan. How could these guys still sound so calm? I can guess they can't wait to go to Isekai.

"Who the fuck said, you can call me that Oeee!!!. Sounds like you can hear me clearly."

"How did you recognize, Mr. Pop?" asked Zane.

" cuz I see my voice is already received in every dreampi of this room. Did you guys forget? I'm the one who controls you hahaha." That was not funny, why is he laughing? That's crazy.

"I'll make it quick, I assume you all already know that we're about to enter a 'familiar world', that's the dream world. since it's your first Artificial Dream, there might be some problems, but don't worry. it's very similar to the dreams you're used to. it's even better."

"I'm sure you've all had dreams in your sleep. you know what it's like, but normally you feel that the dream will only have a few minutes to last. but it's going to be the opposite here, so prepare yourself."

"We always say that this game is very special. because of that, I'm sure you'll all be surprised. I'm sure of it. and lastly, for the first week, since it's just a trial week, before entering the world we're going to create, you should adjust as best you can. and also don't forget to practice for the test on the last day of this week."

"Good luck in the first week of your internship."

"Bye losers, I'll see you there. Choose the one that fits your heart."

To your heart's desire? What does that mean? Are we each going to get a partner? Damn, why did we get him as a guide, he's so bad at this.

And then I started to get dizzy. and suddenly I felt that my position had changed. from before I still felt my body was still in a standing position, now my position was already lying down, like I was ready to sleep. now this pill had turned into a very comfortable bed. it felt very soft and soft, even softer than my bed.

when I was enjoying this feeling. there was a sudden sound of spray, followed by a woman's voice "The countdown begins. one, two, th-" (before it was finished, my eyes were no longer able to bear it, after I inhaled the smell that I liked the most, the smell of jasmine flowers, I couldn't hold my eyes anymore. without realizing it, I immediately fell asleep.)

after a few minutes of falling asleep. I felt that this was no different from my usual sleep. there was nothing special about this sleep, it was pitch black with no dreams. and maybe, I was snoring in my deep sleep.

because nothing happened, I tried to open my eyes. finally, I woke up from my short sleep. but, I woke up not in the pill. but, I woke up in a place that was all white.

"Where is this?"
