Short, Light, Free-Chapter 163: The Book of Revelation I

Chapter 163: The Book of Revelation I

My name is Gou Dan, but that is not important.

Where I am right now is.

I woke up and found myself on a grassland, the sunlight shining down my face.

I remembered drinking in a friend’s bar the night before.

Bar proposal… I’m sure not many of you have witnessed it but I have that night.

The owner of the bar was Da Hai, my best buddy.

He is rich and brainy.

He opened a bar in the city center and his yearly profit was beyond my imagination.

He invited over 50 friends that night and I was one of them.

I enjoyed drinking but seldom frequent bars.

Da Hai proposed in his own bar and the lady in question was a very beautiful lady.

Da Hai was rich and handsome so all the ladies were nodding their heads in approval.

Out of excitement, Da Hai shouted, “All food and drinks on menu A will be my treat!”

The bar offered two menus, menus A and B.

Menu A contained shots and cocktails at affordable prices.

Menu B, on the other hand, contained all other pricey alcohols.

I don’t usually drink, but since it was free, why not?

Without shame, I ordered one glass after another.

I did not remember how much I drank.

There were about 60 drinks on menu A and I think I tried at least half of them.

I knew that mixing alcohols would get me drunk fast, but only fools wouldn’t make full use of this opportunity.

From light fruit alcohols to strong whiskey on the rocks.

I drank freely and finally collapsed.

Some time passed and I am now waking up, hungover.

I woke up in a vast field, the huge sun glaring above my head.

I must have woken up from the heat and the bright light.

I scanned my surroundings and my first thought was that I have been played.

Did they get me drunk on purpose and flew me over to Africa?

“Shouldn’t there be a limit to a prank?” I shouted.

Pause.

“A limit to a prank?”

“To a prank?”

“Prank?”

Was that my echo?

Just then, ten monkeys dashed toward me.

I was frozen in shock.

They quickly reached me, howling and cooing loudly.

Two crawled onto me, one started to mess with my hair and the other tugged at my clothes.

“Oh my mother,” I yelled.

“Mother…” the echo bounced back into my ears.

The monkeys weren’t bothered by my shout and thoughts flashed across my mind.

Where was I? Why was there an echo?

And what the f*ck were these monkeys doing here?

Before I could process everything, a monkey reached into my pocket and fished out a small booklet that wasn’t mine.

The monkey flipped through it, a look of curiosity on its face.

I snatched it over, but that tiny monkey had great strength.

It took much effort for me to get my hands on that book but the monkey decided to give me a kick.

I fell onto the grass, evoking cheers and a joyful dance from the spectating monkeys.

The other monkey reached in for my wallet before running away.

The crowd of monkey followed suit and I was left alone again.

I was at a loss. My wallet was gone but what about my phone?

Events from the previous night returned to me.

…

“iPhone 6 was already waterproof.”

“Yeah, not 7. 6’s already waterproof.”

“I had too much to drink! Are you stupid?”

“Come, come, come. See this glass? See my iPhone 6?”

…

I threw my phone into the wine glass… but what about this booklet?

I flipped to the first page and was dumbstruck.

I think you already know what kind of situation you’re in.

According to you humans, we’re aliens.

We’re doing an experiment and you’re our test subject.

Of course, you’re just one of a few hundreds of them.

You can call this booklet The Book of Revelation.

Write anything on it and it will appear within an hour.

How complete it would be will depend on your level.

You’re at level 1 right now.

My hands felt extremely hot and I dropped the booklet onto the ground.

A flaming golden LV1 symbol appeared on the leather cover of the book.

It doesn’t make sense.

Nothing made sense to me.

I picked the booklet up again and flipped to the first page.

The content was gone except for three words: Enjoy the game.

I flipped through the pages.

All blank.

I recalled the writing I saw earlier. Write whatever on it and it appears? The Book of Revelation?

“Stop playing with me, brothers!” I yelled.

“With me, brothers!”

“Brothers!”

…

The monkeys stared at me from afar but none came over.

How was I supposed to write without a pen?

This is bullsh*t.

I kept the booklet in my pocket and walked further away from the monkeys. I wanted to leave this place.

After ten minutes of walking, I was greeted by the same bunch of stupid monkeys from earlier.

I saw them from about 30 meters away. They looked at me with some interest.

They were scattered around a big tree filled with fruits.

There were all kinds of fruits, definitely abnormal.

Apples, oranges, watermelons, pineapples, grapes, pomelos…

There was everything!

Do watermelons even grow on trees? Science wasn’t really my forte.

I continued walking toward the side, still in deep thought.

After ten more minutes, I was back at the tree.

This made me realize something.

The earth that I was stepping on stretched only for about two thousand meters.

That explained the echoes I heard as well.

This globe was simply too small for humans to do anything with.

Other than the tree, the monkeys and I, there was nothing else.

Unfortunately for me, the monkeys were occupying the tree so I only had the magical booklet.

I would starve if I did not think of a solution soon.

After observing the tree for a while, I concluded that there were 30 monkeys on it.

They were about 0.5 to 0.7 meters in height whereas I was about 1.7, more than twice as big as them.

I was outnumbered and had little strength, however.

I noticed that one monkey was rummaging through my wallet.

He was handing out my bills to his friends. These ignorant monkeys were having fun with my money but I didn’t know what to do.

After some thought, I started running and jumping a few times.

The gravity felt the same as on Earth.

I sat down and continued observing the monkeys on the tree.

Before anything else, I needed to gather food to fill my empty tummy.
