Hollywood Zenith

My mind was experiencing tremendous pain; it felt like a million pieces were trying to break apart and merge simultaneously. Something foreign was invading my mind and taking shape, it was vivid and fluid, like when I tried to hold the water in my palm, but it always escaped. It was like the air we breathed in, but it had weight. I read science-related books a lot and know a few things. But for the first time in my life, I was "seeing" items, and it felt different from my usual imagination. There was no concept of colour for me, but people often said that the opposite of blackness that I experience regularly is white or brightness; for the first time in my life, I can surely tell that I have experienced what "brightness" was.

It was surreal that I could confidently say it without any proof or basis; it is like I instinctively know what it is. It was becoming increasingly bright as the time passed, and suddenly, I felt some tingling sensation all over my body; it was like a million small pointy objects were pressing down on me simultaneously. My body jerked; as I seemed to regain consciousness. My lips were dry, and I wanted to open my mouth, but my whole body felt heavy, and several spots all over my body felt numb and sour. Suddenly I heard a voice in my mind--

//Digitization Complete

" Hello, young master; it's great that you survive the ordeal. You can call me Apollo. I am a former God and will serve as your mentor and Source of wisdom. The contract has been successful, and now I await your command." Apollo said.

I recalled that Prime God mentioned him, saying he would follow me here. I put other thoughts at the back of my mind as many sounds came from my surroundings. It sounded very different from what I know, and now I can confirm that I have arrived on the other side. But what now? I was facing a dilemma, If I can't understand their language, how can I tell them I needed water?

I knew that water and other basic things were common in every world out there as I was informed of it before all this. Other things I have to find out myself with the help of Apollo. Sensing my quietness, Apollo said again in a panicked voice--

" I am very sorry for all that has happened to master because of me. I deeply regretted what I did that day, and to atone for my mistake, I abolished my godhood, becoming the lowest-tier deity. I hope to be able to help you with your life in this realm. I just hope you can forgive me." he said solemnly with a sincere tone. I could feel that he was sorry; well, I already forgave him in my mind. Now, holding a grudge is unproductive. What happened has already come to pass, and I have already decided.

I said," I have already forgiven you. You don't have to beat a dead horse and feel regretful about it. First, I want to understand what they are saying, so I can ask for some water. I feel thristly but don't know what they are saying. Is there a way you can help me?"

" Yes, young master. I hold several language libraries that can be directly imprinted in your mind. You have a very powerful learning ability to digest it in a few minutes. What they are conversing in is a language called "English". It is a universally spoken language, and the difficulty is quite low. Let me transfer the knowledge from the Source. It will feel weird for a few seconds. It might hurt a little during the learning process as your brain will be processing the information at hyperspeed." He informed me. I gave a 'go ahead' signal, and knowledge that I knew nothing about began to pour inside my head.

Suddenly, I heard something which made sense---

"Doctor, how is he?" a female voice resounded.

"He is completely out of danger and is currently resting, so please keep quiet while in the ward so that he can rest peacefully. As for the situation, It appears he tumbled through a corridor of something. The injuries he sustained are mostly outside and mostly on limbs and a small concussion. He will be fine after a week of resting. We have given him some painkillers to help him deal with aftereffects." the doctor explained. In this world, doctors are like priests that help the injured; this is what I learned from the recently stored knowledge.

I interrupted and said weakly, " water ", as the thirst was killing me at this point.

I heard a female voice from my right saying, " Here you go".

At this point, my eyes were still closed, with my hair draped over them partially. My hair was loose, and I could feel them all over my shoulders and face. I tried to stretch my hand in the direction of the female voice but all I felt was air. Then It suddenly hit me that they might not know I am blind. My family usually guided my hand to the things I asked for so that It was easier for me to grasp them.

I said in a low voice, " I cannot see; I am blind." Seemingly worried about their reaction.

All the discussion stopped immediately; there was rustling coming from all directions.

" Doctor, he seemed to lose his sight; this is terrible. How could you miss this?" The male voice resounded.

" Everyone begins the relevant test; we must take care of it to not affect the sight permanently", an older man's voice stated.

I sighed; I knew that this might happen. But in a slightly higher stated, "It's okay, I was born this way. You can do nothing, even magi----" I stopped as I remembered this world have surgeries and transplant which can cure blindness by replacing them.

I just changed the wording," Ahem, As I said, I was born blind, and it's not because of the accident."

Everything stopped again, but there were still discussions going on. While my mouth felt something wet, a female voice said," Here, just hold the glass." I instinctively held the glass and began drinking.

The same old man's voice resounded again," Everyone, please evacuate the ward, let him rest for now; Master Robert can talk outside?"
