The Imperial College's

Eps. 1: Stranded

“Oh no! I lost again!”

It came out of the mouth of a short-haired woman sitting in front of a computer. The woman was wearing only knee-length shorts and a white t-shirt covered in a thin cotton cardigan. The headphone attached to his head was removed and then thrown roughly towards the front.

This was already the semifinal round, but he had instead lost on the first stage!

How annoying that is!

“Huang Yunxi, exit.”

When his name was called by the operator behind the scenes, Huang Yunxi could no longer hold back emotions. He had already sacrificed a lot of time and effort to win this match, but he had actually lost just due to a momentary bug of the game control system he was playing! The woman again cursed rudely, throwing dirty words that even animals did not want to hear.

“Keparat! System damn!”

“Games is useless! I give you a rating of 0 so the whole world knows how ugly the developer who created you is!”

“Huang Yunxi, please return to the back seat,” the operator said for the second time.

Huang Yunxi did not want to heed the call of the operator. The woman took a snack of peanuts on her desk, then peeled the skin, ate it and threw the shell in any direction. He's already very upset. For a lifetime, only this time he felt defeated by a bad computer system and made him lose.

The tomboyish woman then got up. Before he took a step, his foot kicked the CPU connected to the screen in front of him to a fall. Fuck the CPU, fuck the flickering screen. Yunxi could not stand it. If he could, he'd like to kick all the computers that are here with his feet.

However, moments later the fire spread from the wires under his desk. The fire spread in all directions, causing heat and smoke to soar. Everyone, errat, all the players who were inside the same room as him cried out in panic. No matter where their level was, once they saw the fire, they immediately left their place just like that.

“Ups, I accidentally caused a problem,” Huang Yunxi said as she tried to save herself. Unfortunately, due to the large number of people crammed in the small entrance, he was stuck in the room with several others.

Not long after, a huge explosive sound echoed through the air. In an instant, the national level gaming arena that was originally filled with players and spectators turned into a burning sea of fire. The sounds of screaming and moaning alternated, clashing with the panicked voices of the people outside the room.

A big piece of news then spread: The three-million-dollar gaming arena in the central building of the app caught fire!

Dozens of people could not get out due to the full door and the elevator jammed, the electrical short circuit became a trigger for the emergence of fire!

Huang Yunxi who was trapped inside was no longer able to feel anything. His body felt hot and burning. Flames popped up here and there, hundreds of computers were on fire and people who fared the same as him were screaming for help. Huang Yunxi covered both of her ears in noise, then closed her eyes. He didn't want to know what would happen next.

Overwhelmingly, Huang Yunxi felt her body drift to a very high place. His eyes were gloomy covered in white. Huang Yunxi shouted, yet her voice could only be heard by her own heart. It was like being in a vacuum of space.

“Welcome to the system control center! Please select the desired input language: English, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Indonesian, Spanish, French, Mandarin.”

Huang Yunxi opened her eyes as the strange sound was buzzing in her ears. The scene he first saw when he opened his eyes was the scene of a strange room filled with holograms containing an overwhelming number of mysterious figures. A transparent screen similar to a computer menu appeared in front of him.

Huang Yunxi's hand reflexes screen presses with the inscription “Mandarin”. He had yet to understand what was happening, but the room here was very strange. He felt he was inside a computer processor containing tens of thousands of control data. But, when thought back, it felt very impossible if he became that small.

“Input language has been activated. Please select a character to play!”

Strange sounds such as the sounds he often heard while playing games appeared again. This time, in front of his eyes appeared a hologram depicting several female characters with various different looks.

Huang Yunxi who was still confused shifted the hologram screen with her finger. Clik. Her index finger pressed down on an image containing a female character in a strange uniform. The hologram-like screen then changed, displaying the characters he had chosen earlier complete with writings he did not know at all.

“Start character identification and identity matching. Please wait a few more seconds.”

“What is this?” Yunxi could not bear to not make a sound. But no one answered him at all.

“Character match finished. Name: Huang Yunxi. Age: 22 years. Favorites: Brawl, make father angry, revenge and troublemaking. Congrats! Please click the following button to start the journey!”

The screen changed back. Huang Yunxi then presses the “Start” button with her index finger. A bright light then appeared out of nowhere. Huang Yunxi's eyes became glare. The white light slowly dimmed, then a large gate appeared that was covered in a thick white mist. Huang Yunxi followed the direction of the strange voice earlier, her feet slowly stepping towards that gate. He's like a fool. His body was then lost to the thick white mist.

Huang Yunxi was only able to see something when a black object covering her eyes was lifted. At that moment, he saw a strange and anachronistic sight. He was in a room whose pillars were made of marble and carved with various motifs of typical gold-colored animals. The room was filled with various objects from white porcelain and copper, combined with wall hangings in the form of beautiful natural paintings.

Huang Yunxi was like a dazed little boy. Why is he here? Wasn't he stuck in a game that cost him three million dollars?

The confused woman turned her head. He only realized that his entire body was in a state of being tied to a rope in the form of a long and strong red silk cloth.

His entire outfit changed as well, his originally short hair was bunched up. Not far from where he was bound, he saw two men whose faces looked like they were sleeping on each other's backs. Their condition is also in a bound state.

“Pssttt….Pstttt.. Excuse me, two young men,” call Huang Yunxi on two bound men.

One of them blinked several times hearing Huang Yunxi's voice. The man turned his head towards her, his eyes flickering as the light entered. His forehead wrinkled as he knew Huang Yunxi was looking at him with a foolish look.

“Do you know where this is?” huang Yunxi asked later.

“Yunxi, why are you asking? Isn't this where you live?” The man asked back.

“My place of residence? Ahahaha, big brother, you must be wrong. My residence is in Beijing, not in a strange place like this,” Huang Yunxi replied as she circulated her gaze around awkwardly.

The man frowned. Is this woman crazy? What did he say just now? Beijing? Where is that? Why is his name so foreign? And he called her a big brother?

The other man woke up. He also looked towards Yunxi with eyes full of confusion.

“Yunxi, did your head hurt after hitting a tree trunk because of the escape earlier?”

Huang Yunxi was getting more confused. Run? Hit a tree trunk? Wh who? Why would the man she asked speak such a strange thing? Was he being kidnapped by someone until his hands, feet, and body were tied up like a sack? But, why would they kidnap her while she had no valuable assets?

“My head was hit? When's? Why don't I feel any pain?”

Two men bound to look at each other. They were confused by what the woman before them said. The violent impact on the woman's head after hitting the tree earlier seemed to have made the woman's brain shift by several centimeters.

“Emperor has arrived!”

The man's shouting voice from the other direction averted Huang Yunxi's gaze. From the direction of the enormous and luxurious door, a city-crowned middle-aged man whose gallant body was clad in an extremely long golden-coloured robe entered with firm steps. The two bound men lowered their foreheads almost to the floor.

Behind the man, another older-looking man walked up to him carrying a short stick whose tip was tasseled from a long feather-shaped cloth.

The face of the crowned man called “Kaisar” is so unfriendly. A cold aura crept out, for some reason Huang Yunxi felt cold looking at the face whose eyes were staring intently at him.

“Huang Yunxi, are you already unable to bow before your own father?” asked the middle-aged Emperor in a high tone. Huang Yunxi frowned, puzzled by the question the Emperor asked.

“Why not answer? Did you become mute after burning down the Medical Center?”

“Wait! Old man, why are you asking me so many questions at once? Which question should I answer first?”

Huang Yunxi's question suddenly made the two men who were looking down glared. This woman is looking to die apparently. He should just shut up, don't talk or ask anything. If the Emperor got even more angry, they were not sure if Huang Yunxi could survive this time.

“You call me Old Man? Huang Yunxi, as a princess, why aren't you filial? Listen to my orders! Anyone can't leave this place until I let him go!”

After saying that, the Emperor left the room. Huang Yunxi stared at the passing of the middle-aged man with an extremely strange gaze. His brain was spinning thinking of something. He must have missed an important memory before he got here.

He started to remember something. Before he got here, exactly when he was in a room called the control room, he picked out a strange female character with his finger. He also slowly recalled the information given by the foreign voice regarding the character he had chosen.

Suddenly, his face turned from confusion to overwhelming shock!

“Do I get into a game?”

That strange room, the input language, the guiding voice, the character selection, this room, these people, it's really like a time travel-themed fantasy film or moving dimensions from the real world into another world. Even worse, he was the main player!
