When Tyler opened his eyes, it was still pitch black. If it weren't for the support on his back that made him feel as if he was lying on some ground, he would have thought that he had fallen into some unknown world again covered with darkness. He raised his hand towards the darkness before his eyes only to feel a surface.
It was cold, and it almost felt as if he had been locked in a coffin. A frown crossed his forehead as he continued to push his hands against the cold surface quite hard. But unfortunately, even after pushing like that for a while, he couldn't open it up for a long time. It wasn't until he vaguely heard the sound of a beep coming off faintly from the outside that he opened his mouth and said, "Open up!"
His voice was hoarse as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his throat had become all dried up. The hand that was touching the cold surface above his head went to his throat and his chapped lips.
His frown deepened. Just as he thought he would continue to get stuck in this small space for a long time, he heard another beep sound coming off before a blue light shone on the four sides of the coffin door. After that, the door seemed to have been given a push from the outside after which it abruptly opened as it revealed a white world.
Tyler squinted his eyes as he continued to stare in a dazed manner. Just then, a face appeared in front of his eyes. The man had a pair of specs on his nose as his silver-colored hair combed back in an elegant manner. He also had a white coat draped on his shoulders that gave him a strange vibe. It almost felt like Tyler was watching a doctor standing right in front of his eyes.
But Tyler felt like the face of this man standing in front of him was somewhat attractive. Those sky blue eyes and sharp jaw were enough to make anyone fall in love with this man. It was just that the man's temperament didn't match up with his face at all. That face should give him a vibe of someone dangerous and childish at the same time. Someone like his senior….
Tyler didn't get to continue his thoughts when he saw the man in front of him walking toward him. The man held Tyler's hand in an anxious manner. "Where's he?!"
The sound felt familiar to him and made his heart race for some reason. Tyler frowned at this kind of reaction. He pressed his lips in a thin line and looked over in confusion. Even without telling him anything, he could still tell who this person was talking about. So he opened his mouth without hesitation and said, "He pushed me…."
"WHAT?!" The man looked at Tyler in disbelief. Then he turned around and clutched his hair in anger before he kicked the nearest chair in anger. "That damned brother of mine. I'll kill him once he gets out of this mess!"
After that, the man took a deep breath to calm his emotions and looked at Tyler. "You will have to bear with it for a while. I cannot give you your memories back at the moment. So…."
"Can I see him?" Tyler blurted out almost instantly. He could tell that something was definitely wrong with the way this man reacted, and he also knew that perhaps his senior was also inside one of these coffins. At least, he wanted to see his senior's face at this time. His heart couldn't help but twist in pain when he remembered the smile that the man had given him after pushing him inside the hole back then. "I really want to-"
"No." The man with specs sighed and said, "I can't do anything to stimulate you at this time. So, just a few days are enough. By then, we'll calm his situation down. In fact, I wasn't supposed to come without my face covered but…" The man shook his head and said, "Look, I'm sorry for everything."
After that, the man didn't linger for long and left before shutting the door close behind him.
Tyler tilted his head and looked at the closed door in confusion. Why do they always keep apologizing like this?! Before he could think more about this, his brain throbbed again. He pressed his fingers against his temple and laid on the coffin-like bed again.

Even though the man had said that he shouldn't stimulate Tyler's little brain before giving him his memories back, the fact that he entered the room and looked at Tyler without putting up a mask was dangerous. It almost stimulated Tyler's brain into breaking apart into bits and pieces. When the man with specs found out about how Tyler fainted after a while because of pain, he cursed under his breath and called out the medics.
This building was typically a futuristic world with a lot of technologies. Every door had a special scanning camera attached at the top that would scan the person before letting them enter. Even the door was made out of shiny objects as the corridors looked sparkly.
Just now, the man with specs was standing in the office from where he had once operated the transmigration world. The wall in front of him was covered with a giant screen with multiple dots as if he were tracking the places in a world. But he only knew that those dots were different worlds. Almost all of them had turned red instead of one. One of them in the middle was green and blinking quietly.
Sure enough. His stupid brother was still stuck inside the transmigration system, and unfortunately, he couldn't contact that person. His eyes swept past the entire map and stopped at the top where the ratings were displayed. It was around 50% this time.
The man with specs couldn't help but curse under his heart.
He turned around and walked out of the room in an instant. His pace was steady as he tapped the watch on his wrist as a screen emerged in front of him that moved along with him. He instantly sent an urgent text to the medics to meet him in room 501.
Then, he didn't wait any longer and reached the room. The door quickly scanned him as the door opened with a beep. Then he quickly made his way toward a coffin-like bed kept in the middle of the room.
His hands tapped something on the screen of his wristwatch before it disappeared as the coffin door opened. The man with specs opened it swiftly and looked inside.
There lay a man with a facial structure similar to how the man with specs looked. The two of them looked so alike that it was hard to distinguish the two youths at this point. If it weren't for the fact that the man with specs had dyed his hair silver, it would be hard to differentiate the brothers.
