Chapter 3: Expulsion

Next day I was fired from the company in the name of layoff. Crores of people fired from many companies all over the world. This news was not reported on any news channel. The Internet was shutdown. 

Exactly at noon a monotonous voice heard by all humans. Despite speaking different languages, even the deaf people heard and understood the meaning. One single sentence turned the world upside down. 

"ALL THE HUMANS WILL BE EXPELLED FROM THIS PLANET AFTER 24:00 HOURS" 

'I had been living as livestock. Now I have awakened. If they know, leashes will increase, and shackles will be tightened. Even though it was hurting, she broke those and freed me. Rather than being livestock that would be slaughtered anytime, I would prefer wild animal.' 

From what Amy told me there were 9 ranks for awakeners. 

(1. Basic -F Rank 

2. Normal -E Rank 

3. Advanced -D Rank 

4. Rare -C Rank 

5. Epic -B Rank 

6. Legend -A Rank 

7. Mythic -S Rank 

8. Divine -SS Rank 

9. God -SSS Rank) 

To increase one's rank, they must saturate their core and clear the trial for respective ranks. I had many doubts and questions to ask but I concluded that I would find the answers eventually. She was only an E-Rank awakener, she didn't have privy to the information. 

As I tried to put things into my inventory (space-time pocket) nothing went in, I simply checked options in inventory. There were two options,

1. Time flow in space-time pocket same as outside time flow,

2. Freeze of time flow. I chose option two. 

As I was bored, I tried to browse the internet. But it was shut down. So, I turned on the TV. Every channel had only one video played that was prime minister's talk about the recent announcement, so I watched it. 

"My dear citizens, while I am speaking to you, our scientists are researching the recent phenomenon. Don't panic. We put lockdown until the problem is resolved. Thank you." 

'You see I have an intuition. I have inventory but I can't put anything in that. So, I concluded that we can't bring anything from earth while we are being expelled.' 

24 hours came to an end. I was in a white space. I looked around and I found a plain cloth, one water bottle, a piece of white bread and one banana. Then only I felt that I was nude. I wore cloth and tried to put the other things in my inventory and successfully done. There was notification in front of me. In that were two options. 

"Are you going to wilderness area Earthling's settlement?" I simply chose Earthling's settlement. There were many reasons. 'Simply put, I don't have the confidence in surviving in unknown wilderness.' 

"Suddenly I wanted to curse many countries on the Earth, especially first world countries. For example, there are third world country's people illegally migrate to first world countries. There is so much news about that. But there is no news about the so-called first world countries slaving and abusing the third world countries for labor and minerals, for example uranium, gold etc. 

Here don't argue me like where is slavery like that. For example, consider Africa, is there any country stable there? No. Why? if any country leader make decision against like America or of Russia these are the big shots correct? the leader will be dethroned by military general who will be new leader who supported by country Russia or America. 

In their action there won't be individuality then the Eastern private company or something like Western private company will make your deal like we will get the minerals like uranium in your country you will get this percentage like that only there is no growth in the people then that country will tell that these people are dirty, that country is unsafe but you are getting uranium from country you fools. May be because of this we are being expelled." 

After cursing, my mind was cleared. Suddenly I took the banana and water bottle and held it in my hand. Smeared breadcrumbs around my mouth. I entered the portal in front of me.
