[Yes] or [No]
'Yes,' I hurriedly answered. I didn't care about the penalty; my problem right now was immediate. I could feel something entering my brain, and it was not a good sensation.
[System: Safe Mode Activated]
After hearing the notification, my vision abruptly blurred, and my connection to the outside world shut off.
When my sight returned, I found myself in a space filled with pure white. An infinite expanse of white surrounded me; there was nothing else.
However, as I turned around, a towering structure was in front of me—a giant silver gate adorned with intricate markings, resembling lines that zigzagged .
"Where am I?" I mused to myself. This place felt different from when I was confined in that dark space. Strangely, I felt naked and exposed, as if someone were watching me.
The feeling was hard to describe. I was accustomed to being in control, but in this place, I felt weak and insignificant.
"What is this giant gate?" I wondered aloud, walking closer to it and attempting to touch it. To my surprise, I saw that my hands also turned white, with only the black outline remaining visible.
I began touching it and even exerted force to try and break it open, but it didn't budge at all.
"Anything?" I repeated his words, still not fully trusting him.
"Yes, that's one question out of two!" His laughter echoed, filling the space as he rolled on the ground in amusement.
'Motherfucker!' I seethed in annoyance.
This time, I was on the brink of slapping this kid into oblivion. It was a good thing I didn't have access to my powers right now, or I would have turned him into an ink blot and put him in a pen.
'But this kid can't be ordinary. He must have some serious background to stay so calm in a place like this,' I mused to myself, taking a moment to calm down.
'And I only have two questions available, so I should make them count. Now I feel like an idiot for wasting one,' I sighed to myself.
My mind raced, contemplating the best question to maximize my remaining tries. Asking this kid about this place seemed like a good idea, but he could easily respond with a vague one-word answer without providing any context. I needed to be creative.
"What is the true nature of the place we are in right now?" I asked, trying to extract as much information as possible with a single question.
He didn't respond immediately, but a wide grin spread across his blank face, it seemed he found my question very interesting.
"Good question , " He nodded in approval.
"This place is a metaphysical realm where the boundaries of the physical, spiritual, and ..." He stop at his track and the grin on his face suddenly shifted into a frown .
'Why did he stop?' I asked myself.
However, before I could do anything, my vision slowly blacked out again.
"What's happening?" I shouted to him, but instead of answering, he shook his head.
"I have a feeling that we will meet each other again," he replied with a smile.
The grin on his face returned, but I could sense from his voice that he had become more serious. I wanted to ask more about this place, but no matter how hard I tried, my vision kept dimming.
