Carl saw the status that popped in front of him. He is always a calm person but in this situation any person who is normal will naturally be shocked and question themselves if they are dreaming. 

Carl noticed that he was holding something. He wonders if it is the can of beer that he just bought in the store. But the shape is entirely different. He looked below and saw that in his hand there is a piece of a human leg. He immediately let it go and became disgusted. He remembered that he was sitting by the riverside and there was a message in his cellphone. He thought it was a spam or advertisement and clicked the [Yes] button. After that, he felt dizzy then woke up like this.

He observed his surroundings and yet the screen blocked his sight. Carl is not a gamer, he doesn't have money to waste in his childhood days so this is new to him. 

Carl tried himself to calm down so he could think well, he quickly scanned the screen from top to bottom. He noticed that the language on the screen is different from his native language, but the strange thing is that he is somehow familiar with the word. He is sure he does not know the language because the only language he knows is his native language. Mysteriously, he could read this unknown but strangely a familiar word.

Many questions start to bud in his mind. But he needs to focus on his current situation. Carl saw a [Close] button on the lower right of the screen and pressed it. Suddenly the screen disappeared and he saw what was around him clearly.

Red sky, rotten smell. Dead trees and sand ground. The corpses were scattered everywhere he looked. What he felt was not fear or disorientation, only curiosity.

Once again, he felt strange in his body when he tried to move. He felt that his body is lighter compared to before. He looked at his body and he just realized that it was different. His skin color is red, his arm is thin and small. He did not notice it since the screen was blocking his eyes earlier, but now it's very clear. Both of his hands have four fingers. His fingernails cannot be called a nail of a human anymore; it is more like a claw of an animal. Carl estimated his body length and by the looks of it he was only 3 meter tall. His feet could be compared to a dinosaur, with only three claws each foot and the claw is sharper than on his hand.

'What the hell?'

This time the calm Carl was surprised again. He touched his face, only to feel the roughness on it, the roughness he felt was like the bark of a tree. His skin right now doesn't feel like a human being at all. Also, his view was lower than before.

Carl badly wanted to check his appearance right now, but there is no mirror to look at.

"Is this true?", He whispered. His voice was different and was surprised again, his voice was just as small as the dwarves he watched on television. More exactly it was more like a chipmunks. Anyone who heard him will treat him as a joke.

Because he could not believe it, he pinched his cheek. He felt the pain and he believes that all of this is true. It is very clear what is in front of him, a battlefield where corpses are around and this new body. 

The scene in the riverside flashback to him. 

The message on his phone;

[Do you want a new life? Do you want to be a man who will rule the world?]

'The message is true, this is not a dream. I am now in the new world.'
