Chapter One: Dream And Reality

"Who am I? " asked Ravi to no one in particular. He was standing somewhere he didn't know.  Ravi looked around him. There was nothing except darkness. Suddenly from nowhere an old man appeared and a light blazed on top of them blinding Ravi. Ravi squeezed his eyes and slowly opened them, letting it adjust.

"You are the chosen one" replied the old man. He was wearing a black suit and his voice cracking. Ravi looked around, seeing the light getting swallowed by darkness.

"Why am I here? " anger was swelling up inside him.

"Where am I? " asked Ravi. He was searching his brain for memories. Memories of his past.

"You are gonna save the world " came from the old man.

Ravi realized he had no memory. He had forgotten his past. Anger was swelling inside him with every passing second.

"Who are you? " asked Ravi loudly

"Why am I here? " this time more loudly

The old man replied "Ravi! "

"Ravi! "

Ravi woke up with a sudden jerk. He looked around and found himself in his room.

"You are in your room, Ravi"

Ravi recognized this voice. It was Maya, his best friend. Maya had come to live with Ravi during the holidays as her parents went to the UK but she was trapped there due to the lockdown. He searched for the source. It was from behind him.

"You had it again? " asked Maya

"Ya, pretty realistic one this time" replied Ravi.

"C'mon man, you are having it for two days" said Maya slowly walking towards the door.

"I am gonna tell to aunty"

"No! Please don't. They are already worked out due to stupid LyssaVi"

Ravi's parents were scientists, working on LyssaV136 and Ravi hates this virus a lot.

"Please don't tell them Maya"

"Okay, but promise me you will get yourself checked up"

"Okay great, promise"

"Go get ready. Got a lot to talk"

"About what? "

"Just get up"

"Don't tell me it's about LyssaVi again. I am not in a mood"

"I will tell you while eating. Now just go" said Maya and left the room.

"Great" said Ravi and got out of his bed. It was already eight o clock when he got up. He went to the washroom and did the usual things.

By the time he came out it was eight fifty. He went down to the kitchen, picked up his plate with breakfast and went to the living hall to watch TV. He found Maya there and also his parents with serious looks.

"What happened? "

"Sit down Ravi" said his father.

"Got a lot to talk " this came from his mother

He sat down on the sofa and started eating his breakfast.

"Now can I know what's going on?"

"Ya, sure" this came from Maya

"How does she know? Does she know? "

"I don't know Ravi. I was waiting for you"

"Listen you both" this was Ravi's father. "The whole agenda is about you two"

"What! " said Ravi and Maya in unison

"Wait, why us? " Ravi asked

"Just listen to your father Ravi" this came from Ravi's mother. "You continue honey "

"Ya, okay" said father " we secretly took your blood samples " he was cut off by Maya.

"When? "

"How? "This was Ravi.

"Just listen to your father, Ravi" said Ravi's mom.

"There will be a question answer time" this came from his father. "We secretly took your blood sample and did some experiment on it with LyssaVi136. There was an interesting discovery." They both, Ravi's mother and father, looked at each other.

"You two are immune to LyssaVi136" said Ravi's mom. Ravi and Maya looked at each other with looks full of confusion and worriedness.

"Don't tell us you are going to experiment on us" said Maya. "Not us " said Ravi's father.

"It's them" this came from Ravi's mother. Suddenly everything black out. Ravi felt something like a needle going in his neck. The light suddenly blazed blinding Ravi. His eyes started to adjust. He saw army men wearing masks and looked like aliens and something was written on their chest with bold letters. It slowly became visible. It was written

... W.I.C.K.E.D...

He was shocked by what he saw. His vision was slowly getting blurred. He was losing consciousness. One man stepped out and held Ravi. The man said

..."W.I.C.K.E.D is good"...

Ravi was shocked by what he heard. The next moment he passed out.

By the time he woke up he found him in nowhere, just sitting on a chair. He felt like he had at least slept for weeks.  "Who am I? " asked Ravi to no one in particular. He was sitting somewhere he didn't know.  Ravi looked around him. There was nothing except darkness. Suddenly from nowhere an old man appeared and a light blazed on top of them blinding Ravi. Ravi squeezed his eyes and slowly opened them, letting it adjust.

"You are the chosen one" replied the old man. He was wearing a black suit and his voice cracking. Ravi looked around, seeing the light getting swallowed by darkness.

"Why am I here? " anger was swelling up inside him.

"Where am I? " asked Ravi. He was searching his brain for memories. Memories of his past.

"You are gonna save the world " came from the old man.

Ravi realized he had no memory. He had forgotten his past. Anger was swelling inside him with every passing second.

"Who are you? " asked Ravi loudly

"Why am I here? " this time more loudly

Whatever was happening he felt it was familiar.

"You are a part of W.I.C.K.E.D" came from old man

Ravi gave him a look.

"What? "

"Yes,  you are a part of W.I.C.K.E.D. It stands for World In Catastrophe : Killzone Experiment Department " said the old man. "You will understand everything slowly just do whatever we say"

Ravi couldn't understand what the old man was saying.

"W.I.C.K.E.D is good. Just believe us. " said the old man and vanished. Ravi couldn't believe what he saw. Now he was left with no one in the room. He didn't know who he was. The old man called him Ravi so he thought his name was Ravi. Suddenly the light went out and he again found himself in darkness
