I AM AN ATHEIST

New Room Mate

When Xavier opened his eyes, he was surprised finding that he was standing instead of lying down, as far as he remembered he fainted and upon waking up according to him, he should be lying down but he was standing.

The surprise took him for a moment before he turned his head, after observing his surroundings, he found himself standing in between others, to his left, right, front and back other dragons and chickens were standing.

There was at least a metre gap between the person to person.

What really made him feel bizarre was that people who died were next to him.

The dead can not be brought back, it was common knowledge even in this world, it is very rare to find a dead guy being brought back to life.

He knew they were dead because they died in front of him, he had seen them being eaten alive, he remembered their tragic cries and the bloody scene of their death.

Seeing the unusual situation, Am I dreaming? this was the first thought that appeared in his mind.

He pinched himself to check whether he was dreaming or not, the tingling pain made him understand that he was not dreaming and it was all real.

Was that all an illusion? Another doubt raised in his mind after he realised that he was not dreaming.

No, it was not, it was too real to be an illusion, the pain I felt after the damn wolf bite me was also real.

Xavier thought, he refused to accept the things he experienced was fake.

Whatever be the case, I will know soon. Xavier thought as he saw Mona not too far away, he knew Mona would have all answers.

After keeping his thoughts under control, Xavier now only realized that he was back in the hall.

Since the crowd was less, he took a closer look at the hall which he could not do back then, the hall had five walls, each wall has two doors except the wall with the entrance

One of this door was the one they went in, and the stage was not there anymore, there were only tiles on the ground.

He continued to look around, he found Golu, Molu and Herald, but none of them was near to him.

Xavier concluded that all of them were alive and none died.

And the reason behind it was currently not. known.

Xavier was right, all the chickens and dragons were present, the boars and the disqualified people were not there.

While walking between the gap between the people, Mona carried a stick in her hands,

She was looking at the tattoos seemingly searching for someone.

Xavier observed that Mona was coming near to him, he thought that she would just pass by him as she did to others, but he was proven wrong as she halted in front of him then she said: "Found you".

It was out of Xavier's expectations that the person Mona was searching for was him.

Then Xavier saw her lifting her right arm, she placed it on his left shoulder, and with the left hand she grabbed Xavier's right hand and lifted it while yelling: "Dragon112 is the best performer for the trial".

Xavier was surprised, at the same time he was feeling uncomfortable as he was too close to Mona, there was just a tiny amount of space separating him and her chest, he could also smell her, she smelled that of roses.

" You may be wondering why you are alive, you must have remembered being eaten alive "

Mona said while releasing the hand of Xavier.

When Mona released his hand, Xavier relieved because the distance between them increased.

Then she began walking towards a door other than the entrance.

Xavier and others did not let their eyes move away from her, their gaze followed wherever she went.

After arriving at the door, she grabbed the handle and said:" The answer to all your questions lies here".

Then she pulled open the door, the inside of the room could be seen, there was nothing more than a space except the tiles.

"It looks like a normal room from the outside, but once you cross this door you will be sent to a different dimension"

" If you die inside, you will be revived in the hall"

" Why is it so? Don't ask me because I don't know either"

" You should There are two ways to come out from the room, either by dying or by clearing it"

" By the meaning of clearing it, you should either kill the boss or kill all the things that you face there"

Then she looked at Xavier,

"As I said, Dragon112 is the best performer of the trial as he was the only one person to clear the l.v1 wolf dimension"

" You should all learn from him"

Mona said, when she mentioned Dragon112, she especially used high pitched voice.

Hearing her this time, everyone looked at

" But Instructor, you cheated us saying that there was a feast"

A person among the crowd told his concern while carrying a dejected face which indicated his dissatisfaction with the lie.

Xavier recognised this person, it was his cousin Golu, initially, Xavier had doubts about the peculiar behaviour of his cousins, but now he did not have any more doubts.

Definitely, it was that food they ate that day turned them like this, Xavier thought.

Mona seemed to disturbed by Golu as she replied in a harsh tone: "Chicken20 looks like you wanna go there again now".

This made Golu remember those wolves who were charging at him and Molu, they were weak but seemed to be endless, he also remembered the pain that he felt when the wolves bite them, especially after remembering how those teeth tried to pull their flesh out from his body, he exclaimed: " No, I don't"

Out of fear, Golu closed his mouth and did not dare to raise the question again.

Molu after seeing Golu's situation did not dare to raise the question either.

"As you all can see, except a single wall all of the other four walls here got two doors each"

" They are the same as this one, but what inside of each door I won't tell you, you will be finding it out your own"

" You would be trained in these rooms every day, I will tell you more information about them tomorrow"

" For now, I am ending the orientation, let's meet again tomorrow before the sunset probably at 4'0 clock".

The clock in this world is different from a normal one, the clock here has 25 hours per day and each hour is divided into 50 minutes and each minute is 50 breaths of time".

Finally, as if people wanted to hear it for a long time, they began to leave.

No, it can not be called leaving, they were running, as if they were escaping from something.

Everyone had terrified faces, it must be noted that most of the people who came to Gurukul never seen blood and today they died and were eaten alive.

It was truly a terrific experience for them who grew up in flowers, In their homes, they would not even get a serious wound, forget about being eaten alive.

Now, after hearing that it was just a trial and the training would happen inside it, and they had to experience that pain and that kind of death, again and again, they just wanted to escape.

They finally realized why the Gurukul was called hell because it truly was hell, you die in the worst possible way then get resurrected then die again.

It is just like how many holy books describe hell where you can't even perish to escape the unbearable torture.

After some hustle, Xavier left the Guru School at last.

Upon exiting the building, he saw that the moon had already been hung high in the sky, but he did not leave.

Xavier waited for Golu and Molu to come out, the first acquaintance he met while waiting was not Golu or Molu, it was Herald.

"Hahaha..prince I keep bumping on you"

Herald laughed while moving towards Xavier.

" Nah! It was not bumping, you intentionally following me, tell me why? "

Xavier replied, he already had observed that Herald was secretly looking at him when Mona was explaining about the doors.

All these events made Xavier doubt this Herald's intentions, so he decided to ask.

" prince so I will be frank to you"

" I am currently following you because I need a place to sleep for now"

" you know, I can not get a room because I am alone, I don't have any other friends either"

" You know right, the minimum number of people required for one to get a house is three"

" please If you have got any rooms, accept this homeless guy"

Herald begged.

He waited for the answer from Xavier, but Xavier did not answer and ignored him.

You damn prince, how dare you to ignore this great Herald. if it was not for that, I would not have begged you, Herald thought.

Time passed,

Herald still did not get any answer, then he saw prince smilingly welcome two people, the two people looked at him and asked the prince.

" Brother, where does this beggar comes from? "

You are a beggar, your father is a beggar, who the f**k is a beggar here? , can't you see my expensive clothes and armour? Do beggars have armour?

Herald wanted to yell.

" Ignore him, let's go"

Xavier and his cousins began walking towards their house.

"prince...prince you can't do this.."

"prince I am coming "

Herald followed them.
