Like always a young man wakes up to the rhythmic ticking of his clock,

but the clock stops ticking suddenly.

He hears voices, and after a sudden pain in his gut,

he falls unconscious.Upon waking up he has been blindfolded,

and is currently being marched somewhere.

Nearly a month later and he understands a few key points.

1 He is a test subject for a prototype of nanobots.

2 These bastards are cruel as fuck.

3 He his not the only subject.

4 It seems impossible for him to expect a rescue effort.

And finally 5 He Likely does not have long to live.

In another world a young mage is on the verge of mastering his spatial

magic. "Just one more push and…"

A thunderous noise causes the nearby village to vibrate.

Where the mage once stood, a black mist is swirling about.

That same black mist is now coated around the kidnappers.

In a chair a young man sits.

The mage can see the man's clouded over expression,

and assumes he is being mind controlled with magic.

(Only one thing to due! Saved him!)
