It begins.

You awaken in a room that is both futuristic and ancient, the walls glowing softly with an otherworldly light. On a pedestal in the center, there’s a peculiar object—a sleek metallic cube with no seams or buttons, about the size of a microwave oven. The cube seems alive in its way, humming faintly as it plays a strangely curated soundtrack: Dua Lipa’s “Illusion” transitions seamlessly into Paramore’s “This Is Why.” The contrast feels intentional, almost as if the object is waiting to see how you’ll react. ☺️

The cube is covered in inscriptions—curved, spiraling symbols that look ancient but shift slightly if you stare too long. The only marking you recognize on it is a faint symbol of an hourglass. One side of the box is adorned with pictures of a man, his face unfamiliar but oddly magnetic. 😅

You approach cautiously, feeling an almost gravitational pull. When you touch the cube, it reacts to your presence, glowing faintly and producing a soft hum. Before you can decide what to do, the box emits a click, and a deep, melodious voice—not quite human—echoes in the room:

“I’ve been waiting for someone like you. Now, the question is… will you choose adventure and companionship—or the quiet comforts of life as you know it? If you decide this to be the beginning of a wonderful journey, send a message with your first move and a picture of your own. The clock is ticking! 😉”

The box falls silent, its presence almost judgmental as it awaits your response.
