CHAPTER 3: TRINITY

Trinity unlocked the door with excitement coursing through her. The grief and sadness of losing her job were cast aside at this moment.

The thought of unwrapping the box and seeing what was inside made her blood boil with anticipation.

After all, she was someone who left her home country with a lot of dreams.

What might be in this box might be something that might change her life forever.

Trinity left her home country, Nyandabwe, after graduating. She turned twenty-seven this year in September, and she had been working for that accounting firm for three years. But before that, she had been doing this and that for a year.

She came to Botwaru, the country she was residing in currently when she was twenty-three years old. After failing to find a job in Nyandabwe, she decided to try her luck abroad. The chances were higher there.

Thinking highly of the country, she applied for a passport, packed her bags and got on the plane. The county where she was going was a few countries away from Nyandabwe, so a bus didn't suffice.

That's how she ended up in Botwaru. Skipping the part where she worked several jobs just to survive, she finally got lucky when she met her former boss who gave her a chance to work at his firm.

Just to get that job, she had to intern at the firm for three months without getting any salary. It was the hardest time of her life, despite being employed and working in an office.

However, she gritted her teeth and did her best to keep her job until this unfortunate day.

Anyway, during this period of three years, Trinity found another calling of hers. Her love of books led her to start something that she never thought she could do, writing.

She found a platform full of wonderful books and it inspired her greatly. Since other people were writing, why couldn't she write as well?

Just like that, she started writing and before she knew it, her books got contracted and she started earning.

However, as a person who had a full-time job, she had only a few hours dedicated to this other career of hers. Nonetheless, despite all that, she started earning a good sum of money from the platform. And this other time at work, they were talking about side hustles they do at home. In her moment of excitement, she couldn't help but share her writing side job with her colleagues.

When they questioned whether writing could earn, to support and defend what she loved second to accounting, she showed them proof of her income.

If she had known that by doing so, she would end up without a job. She should have kept her excitement to herself.

In the same period, Trinity took another interesting side hustle again, doing reviews for some quick bucks. She just needed to read a book and post honest reviews and she gets paid according to how the reviews were rated.

Although the money wasn't earned easily, as stated when she started, it was still something and better than having nothing to rely on.

So, she kept on doing that job until three years ago she received a weird review request which paid well and didn't even depend on the ratings of the review itself.

Seeing the money, and desperate for it since she needed to send money back home to her mother, she took on this job, and it happened to be on her birthday.

On this night, she sat with her laptop in hand answering weird questions. The questions wouldn't have made sense if she weren't someone involved in the writing community. But as someone involved in the community, she found them quite easy to answer, though she didn't understand why someone would ask such questions.

But now recalling some of those questions, she couldn't help but look forward to what was in the box. If it was as she thought, then she might have hit the jackpot.

The majority of the questions all revolved around systems, transmigrations, rebirth and reincarnation. Whoever gave the job was a fanatic of the fantasy and unbelievable things. How could such things exist in real life?

As an author, she had written a few books with the same themes as well. This was just something fictional, so how could someone be so serious about it?

Anyway, to get the money she deserved, she put in all her effort and answered earnestly without holding back.

As a result, after submitting the review, two days later, she got an email from a mysterious email with the same name as that written on the sender's name.

[Congratulations. Your answers were deemed to be the most favorable and innovative. As a result, you won prototype T 001. Please wait patiently for its delivery.]

When she saw that email, the first thing that came to mind was how these scammers were doing their best to make people relax.

Whatever involved winning and spending some money to get it, Trinity vowed to never take a second look at it.

So, she quickly forgot about the matter once she received her payout from doing the review. With the money in her account, she sent it to her mother, and she had forgotten about the matter since then.

She just didn't expect that after getting fired, and when she was feeling down, the package she thought was a scam finally arrived.

But how did it manage to stay safe by the door, especially with how curious all the tenants in the yard are?

Knowing those people well. Seeing her box unattended, they would have taken it and she wouldn't know a single thing that she once received such a box.

For the box to survive until her arrival, Trinity was certain that this box was as mysterious as it could be and she couldn't help but look forward to opening it.

Could it be that fiction was combined with reality?

Her prototype T 001 was finally here.

Just what exactly was it?

She couldn't help but wonder as she closed her door, ready to unravel this mystery behind locked doors.

Who knows what might happen during the process?

She might as well be very cautious.
