Every story has its beginning and its end.

Also our hero who wants to forget his beginning and can't remember his end. It was like a fast-running film at the end of which the frames of the past began to burn and at the same time left deep scars not on the body but on the soul itself (or what can be called the essence inside each of us)

After trying to somehow move, panic began to build up for a while, but not a drop of fear, as if he had never felt it.

Having changed the strategy, he began trying to open his eyes (or what was left of them) and examine the surrounding space. My eyes and head could not move and therefore I had to evaluate only the frame presented in front of me.

The picture, to put it mildly, carried me away, I felt like a soulless space where there was a white spot on the likeness of the sky, and the abyss was black and between the horizon itself, these two colors mixed a rather pleasant gray shade. It's like I'm in the Minecraft world, but all existing blocks have been deleted and only the sky and the abyss have been left

I didn't feel the time, it wasn't clear how long I was here, maybe not how many minutes, or maybe a couple of days. But I didn't feel the most uncomfortable: no hunger, no sleep, no fever, nothing

After lying down? Sagged? It doesn't matter! After a certain amount of time, I began to feel someone else's presence, someone's eyes boring into my body to an unpleasant degree, instinctively I didn't like it, as if unpleasant images of people whose eyes said they didn't like me began to float into my memory
After many more minutes of boring eyes at my body, I heard a voice in my head:

"And how did you manage to get into such a ridiculous situation?"

A rather unusual middle-aged woman appeared in front of me, she was very tall for my feeling, her curves did not correspond to human ones, as if she wanted to hide something from prying eyes. Her hair was a very long gray shade and hovered around her body, ignoring all the laws of physics. Her face is very beautiful, but you could see her frown because of which I was responsible

I didn't have the strength to speak, and fortunately I didn't have to answer, because the fact that she spoke to me made it clear that she knew what I was thinking

"And what am I supposed to do with you?" there was only one dissatisfaction in her speech, but it didn't stop looking at me "What? Do you want to know what happened to you?" she raised her eyebrow and knowing that I wouldn't answer her, she exhaled deeply and rubbed her red eyes " Okay, fucking hero, listen …"

After a short pause, she took out a kind of folder and began to read

"30 years old, a man, not married, a virgin part-time magician, lived in isolation and went out only for work, no talent, but a dreamer of some kind. He had no bad habits, as well as friends. I quenched my loneliness with the help of anime, manga and watching other animated materials. A very big fan of music, but as I said earlier, you had no talent for it"

I listened to her not because I wanted to, but because I couldn't stop listening to her, and it lasted my whole life. LITERALLY
"So. Do you want to know the last moments of your life?"

When she didn't hear my answer, she continued

"You were walking in the subway along your usual route, wearing headphones, with quite loud music, after a hard day dreaming about one thing and another. But out of the corner of your eye you saw how some person decided to jump onto the rails, you did not think to help that "suicidal person" to get out, you quickly ran down to him to get up, but at the last moment you noticed that he easily got out with a bill in his hands. At that moment, you strongly realized the stupidity of the situation and did not have time to get out, decided to play a LEGO man under the rails"

After the story, I wanted to make a facepalm, but for natural reasons I couldn't. Well at least I understood why I couldn't move and speak

"So what should I do with you? You haven't even lived half your life, and then what? Will you demand interest from me for not spending time in my life? So it's still okay not to send you to heaven or hell, because you're not worthy of one and you don't deserve for the other"

A long minute of silence passed from the hopelessness of the situation and without thinking much, I decided to submit my thoughts to this beautiful creature

"What?! Do you want to enter your favorite world? Hah, that's what a young dreamer wants, but don't you want a lot? Plus, you built such features for yourself. It's too easy and sweet for you…
"
With these words, she thought for a while, but then answered.

"Okay, but you will go there for a reason, but with pitfalls, and believe me, you need to pay the appropriate price from your selfish desires, you can say "the law of equivalent exchange" you can't get something without giving something in return."

I blinked in confusion, but I understood that there was logic in this.

"I'll send you there absolutely mute. Not only will you not be able to give out at least some word, but you will not be able to give even the slightest sound. That place is very dependent on voices and sounds, so it will be very difficult for you. I will also delete your memories of your past life."

I panicked because it was not part of my plans.

"Oh, don't worry, your ideas and faded features of the past will come to your mind gradually, so relax. Plus, you can then get rid of the curse of muteness, and for this you will need" here she stopped abruptly, as if considering a cunning plan for her game "And you know, I won't tell you. It will even be much more interesting to watch you"

My eyes widened beyond recognition, which made her laugh not badly
"I know about your mental problem and that's why I couldn't help but put such sticks in your wheels of life" here she laughed maliciously and continued "and you will forget our conversation too, so it will be interesting to see"

After some time, my body (or what was left of it) began to glow and acquire a shapeless bundle of energy and it was moving in a direction that was incomprehensible to me

"Good luck to you "Hero"" she said to me last and marking the word "hero" with the letter H as if it had another designation "Because losers really need it" and again she laughed loudly. She made it clear to me that I had to suffer before, and now life will not seem sweet to me.

I was flying in a shapeless bundle of energy, it's not clear how much time it took in a direction that I didn't understand. But I felt that something was starting to happen to my memory, my thoughts, my ideas and my fantasies began
to disappear, as if someone took a very cheap eraser and began to play a
notebook filled to capacity with words, so rudely that they began to remain not
rarely solid holes and to tell the truth it was unbearably painful. This
happened for a very long time and painfully that fortunately I lost my memory. Well, at
least I'll wake up already in the body. I hope…

I woke up from screams and voices that I didn't understand, but I
couldn't open my eyes. "It looks like I was just born" sounded in my head.

I felt a lot of different emotions and not all of them were
good for me. I began to realize with my body that I was completely in some kind
of slime and by some miracle I was breathing. The next thing I tried to do was
listen to the voices that were around me

"My Queen, sample 177013 began to show signs of life,
the nervous system is normal, only there are some defects" his voice was a little
worried and I felt his fear of someone

"Dr. Urx, it's good that our experiment is progressing
well, but what does "defects" mean" a stripped-down imperious female voice sounded,
her emotions said that she was very angry and worried? "Do you want
to disappoint me?"

"But no, my queen" a trembling voice began to speak more and more quietly, as if he wanted to hide, but he continued "Your experiment has such disadvantages. Firstly, its chitin is not completely black, I would say it has white with black spots. Secondly, for some reason it is not connected to your hive network. Thirdly, he is not emotionally stable due to the power of the "nightmare" and he may be a potential threat to your hive" the voice finished, but abruptly began to groan from lack of oxygen

"What does "potential threat to the hive" mean? Do you want us to
got rid of my test subject because of the threat of our extermination?" The female voice
was incredibly loud and angry "Do you have any idea how much effort and years were
spent on my experiment?"

By the sounds of the second voice only grunted and by his emotions, I
could read that he was afraid, afraid for his life, afraid to die from the one
he serves. It looks like this "Queen" realized this and released him from the grip, the carcass
fell loudly and began to swallow all the air from which he was deprived

"Okay, Doctor, let it be your way. I want the hive only
the best, but the campaign all efforts went down the drain on Manticore"after not a long
silence and reflection, a female voice gave out something that I did not expect in any way -
"Destroy my experiment and all the documents about it, I do not want anything that was
connected with this "bastard". And prepare an army because we are going according to plan B"

These words began to disturb me in an un-childish way and then for a moment
I was seized with a terrible pain that I had lost my memory again.

When will it stop?

Somewhere in void

A woman in an empty space sighed very loudly and lay down on a sofa that had just appeared out of nowhere

"Well, it was quite fun, I haven't had such copies for a long time" a TV and a bucket of sweet popcorn appeared in front of her "Well, let's see what's going on there"

The next second, images of our The hero is in the capsule for experiments

"Ugh, damn, why are you so unlucky. Didn't have time
to live normally, did you want to die again?" the girl mumbled with displeasure and still
decided "Okay, convinced, I'll help you for the last time"

She snapped her fingers and at the moment when they wanted to dispose of the hero disappeared in a dull flash and no one noticed it

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot " a pendant appeared in the girl's hand in a flash and disappeared after another click "This is my gift for you, it will help you, not much"

The girl began to look at one point again, as if she was considering the next action. This went on for about five minutes and a sly smile appeared on her face

"Looks like I'm going to need help from outside"

A landline phone appeared out of nowhere and she started calling a familiar number

"Allo? D? Are you still in stone? Don't you want to dilute your time a little?"
