Reincarnated As A Tech Geek: All Started With A Hole

CHAPTER 1:

"Mom, I told you I can just drop my study and help you selling vegetables. "

"How many time do I have to tell you that I can handle this. Once you graduate, you can have less exhausting job yet bigger salary. " Mom said while pushing me towards the door.

"But-"

"No more buts. Just get your ass out of here cause your running late. " she cut me completely shoved me away.

I sigh. I never really won against mom in this matter. She always say 'she got this and that's but the truth says the opposite. I just wanted help, I just.. dont want to see her so tired everytime she got home.

"Bye mom,don't strain yourself too much. " I said as I walk away waving my hands for goodbye.

"You too. I love you sweetie!" she said almost shouting ,waving her hands as our distance increases.

"I love you too, mom. " I said underneath my breath. I never really had the guts to say those words to her. I'm shy, but I know I never fail to make her feel that.

It's just me and mom since I was three. For my jerky asshole dad cheats. I was so young that time that I never protected mom. I never experienced but I know the pain is terrible. He even tried to taking me from her. Seeing her cry and struggle is enough to torment me.

I head towards the woods. I heard that there is a shortcut here to school. I just have less than 5 minutes, so this is a better choice if I don't wanna be late. Well, that is if I don't get lost. I always believe that I have a great sense of direction, so I'll be fine.

I just keep walking when I spotted a hole with a diameter of 49-in, I guess. It looks just like a manhole,but why would there be a manhole in the woods? Is this some kind of passage to an underground something that is used by secret agents? Haha. I should stop watching movies like this before I officially become an i***t.

I throw a stone but I didn't hear a sound indicating that it already reached the bottom, even after few minutes- MINUTES!

I glance at my wristwatch.

I'm LATE!

I immediately stand but something pushed me and the next thing I knew is that I'm falling. I shouted 'help' at the top of my lungs several times but no response. Who would? Hello? I'm in the middle of the woods.

I ready myself for the huge impact of my fall but minutes passes yet there's still nothing. The air pressure is getting higher as I'm falling deeper that its so painful in my skin and makes it hard for me to breathe and slowly choking me. My eyelids are getting heavy too.

Then I remember the innocent and exhausted looks of...

"Mom... "

****

Someone's POV

Applet abruptly openned her eyes that shocked everyone but eventually sigh in relief. The woman beside her who never leave since she got there, started weeping.

_Flashback_

A woman together a guy, more or less 18 y.o, carries an unconscious girl ,with the same age as him. Dashes towards the hospital door almost panicking. Met by a cyborg nurse.

She held the nurse's hand, pleading with different emotions in her eyes she said "Please assist her... "

They lay her in one of the hospital beds. The doctor arrived and examine the unconscious girl.

"Schedule an operation immediately!" The doctor said to the nurses, cyborg and not, they all got nonplussed and without a word followed the doctors immediate order.

While the two rose from their seats the moment they've heard the doctor's words.

"HOW IS SHE?! " they both said synchronically.

The both of them are intensely nervous as well as the doctor.

The doctor knew to himself that he never performed an operation to a very important person, ever since he got licensed. Even if he's the best doctor in town. He knows that if he fail this time, it'll be dooms day for him. He'll lose his job and be sued for clinical malpractice.

"Answer me! " A yell from the woman brought him back to reality. "Don't tell me you can't do it? Ah! i***t! "She brush her hair out of frustration which makes him a lot more nervous. The woman were now trembling not in fear nor nervous but in anger. She don't know what to do while the guy is trying his best to calm down.

"I didn't study for so many years just to get insulted and be called with some random names. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to do my JOB. " Emphasizing the word job. He tried all his best to hide all the fear,nervousness,and other emotions and left nothing but blank expressions.

"You better! " replied by the woman. The doctor left the wing, for he had an operation to perform in the next 10 minutes, so he has to be prepared. While walking, he keeps on encouraging himself that he can do this on his mind. He's deeply drowned in his words that he even bumped into the wall.

Time had passed and the two were just patiently waiting outside the operating room. The thought that the technology nowadays is highly advanced lessen their worries.

They are now in the middle of the operation and almost done. When they're finally done, the doctor heads to the exit of the operating room and met by the two.

"How is she,Doc." The guy ask the doctor with respect and this time, the doctor reply.

"She's now stable. We'll just need to wait until she wakes. Excuse me. " The guy sigh in relief while the woman just remain seated. The doctor can't help but smirk.

"Thanks,Doc." Said by the guy and the doctor just replied it with a nod.

The doctor was about to leave when the woman speak. "T-thanks" almost whisper. He stopped in his track but didn't look back the walk away.

The girl is transferred in presidential room. The doctor stated that she'll be awake in 12 hours but it's just been two hours when the latter opened her eyes that shocked everyone.

_End Of Flashback_

Applet's POV

The time where you'll reached the point that this is gonna be my end. It'll fuel you until you'll burst out of your own thoughts. Relief that finally, you'll now enter the paradise where pain, struggles, mysteries, and traggics doesn't exist at all. But at the same time you'll worry, what will happen to one's dearest to us?

The moment I open my eyes I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light. I can't remember how, I can't remember why I'm here? The last thing I knew was that I'm falling... endlessly. The woman beside me started to weep. The man beside him is tapping his hand in her back. There's also a man with a white coat,that I presume, a doctor.

"Who are you? " Are they the one who found me? Well, definitely. "Where am I? " but the woman beside me just cried harder and the guy in my age, I guess, embraced her. I touch my head as it hurts and figured out that there are bandage around it. I gave the doctor a questioning look. He sigh.

"She's suffering with retrograde amnesia. This is somewhat common with patients after operation. Sooner or later, she'll regain her memory. " What? Is he insane? I'm not! I remember everything completely!

"What are you saying?! I'm not suffering amnesia, okay? And operation? Why the hell did I undergo an operation? " I said in panic. Who wouldn't? He just said I got amnesia and this woman beside me is crying over me while the guy behind him is so creepy! He's looking at me with this sadness in his eyes. Like duh! I don't even know him.

"Don't you remember me, Nike? " the guy said in a very serious yet there's sadness in his voice.

"I won't ask if I do!" I exclaimed. The woman touches my hand but I withdraw it. Maybe in shock. There's just something about them that makes me feel alarmed. "Don't touch me. "

"Let's just leave her alone for the mean time. I think she need more time. " the guy said.

"But-"

"The President wishes to see her. " A man in his military uniform just enter the room together with two man in his two sides dressed just like him. Well I'm kinda starstruck right now, Hello people! I'm meeting the president! But that doesn't change the fact that I am so ANNOYED! Well, maybe a little less.

The two got alarmed as well as the doctor. They all salute to him. Ugh! This is getting so annoying! "And who the hell are you? " He was caught off guard and gave the doctor and these two i***t a questioning look.

"She got amnesia. It's just been two hours since the operation and she need more rest and recover before travelling. " The guy answer 'the man'.

"Who told you she'll travel? " 'the man' smirk at them. The guy clenched his fist while the girl seemed so bothered. What's wrong with them?

"Kindly leave for a while. The President is fast approaching. He needs some private time with her. "Just then , 'the man' turn his back.

"Cant you have some manners and do some introduction of you damn self?" He stop in his track and look at me with his forehead creased. "I keep on calling you 'the man'. The doctor as 'the doctor's. You as 'the woman' and you as 'the guy' ".

"Seriously?! Are you sure this is really her? " He shifted his gaze from me to the doctor and to the two who just nodded.

"As what I've said, She got amnesia,but don't worry she'll regain them back in a short span of time. I'll be more convenient to help her regain it or do some therapies. " The doctor said.

How many times do I have tell him that I'm not! Maybe I should just put him back to kinder. He can't understand even simple words. Or maybe I'll return him back to his mom's womb to fully developed his brain. Yeah, I'll consider that.

"It's Tristan. Tristan Cree. " 'the man' said. Oh, Tristan Tristan Cree, Huh.

"It's not nice to see you, Tristan Tristan Cree." I said and let out a naughty grin. Life is a matter of give and take. They've annoyed me, I'll annoy them too.

He growl but I just simply ignore him. Hmmp! He's not worth my time. Haha! I shifted my attention to the two. " I'm Blair Foster." said by the woman. Then I turn to the guy.

"Charles Laszlo." The guy.

"Carlisle Winston. " The doctor.

Then I shifted my attention to the other two. The first two is Blair and Charles, while the other two are these soldiers on both side of Tristan².

They're hesitant at first but the soldier on the left eventually introduced himself. "Stephen Cree, ma'am. " he said then bow his head.

"Cut the ma'am thingy. I'm not your teacher. So your his sibling? " I ask Stephen and he just nodded. "Oh, what a pity! It must be so tough to have a brother like him. " I said and pout that crumpled his face.

They all went silent and the atmosphere became awkward. Was that my fault? Of course not! They've started this with their annoying prank!

"What about you? " I look at the soldier on the right.

"I'm Shiro Quartz. " He said and looked away. Weird...

I look all over the room and notice all around. I've been to a hospital one time, not too long ago, and it's machines are not this advanced. I've also seen other countries' ,but it's like this.

"Where am I? " Unconsciously, I ask. They all look at me with confusions.

"In the hospital...." Said by Tristan in sarcasm.

I look at him furiosly.

"What?! "

"I know exactly that I'm in a hospital, Dummy. What I mean is that ,where exactly I am?" Once again, they look at me with complete confusion.

" In a hospital bed? " Tristan² once again reply with nonsense. This time I reached for the bottle of water and threw it to him. But he dodge it and hit the floor and broke. What a waste.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!"

"NO! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! "

"I was answering your stupid questions. "

"Yeah, yeah. You're answering my questions with your stupid answers. "

We're about to brawl again when a man enter the room. The same age with Tristan². 22, maybe?

"Mr. President!" They all said in unison and salute.

Pfft! I burst out laughing and they all look at me with confusion and shock.

"This is too much for a prank. President? Haha. From this high technology room to my amnesia. And now, you even change the president? " I really can't help but to laugh so hard. Damn! I'm not stupid to believe them.

"What do you mean? " Blair.

"Hello? President Mortis just got elected few months ago. " I said with hand gestures that made their forehead completely creased.

"President Mortis? " Charles.

"Yeah. " I nodded.

"You mean Mortis Neslo, the 13th president of the Philippines? " Doctor Winston guessed.

"Bingo!" I said and click my fingers.

They look at each other as if communicating through looks. Then the doctor speak again.

"That was......3000 years ago. "

Then it hit me. I'm starting to have a headache with all these craps. What's wrong with them? There are billions of people in the world, but why me? Why play prank at me when there are so many people who got all the time in world to fool around? Why me when I don't have even a second to waste?

"Leave us alone" the acting president says and they all follow. He also instructed the last one to lock the door which is Charles, and he did.
