"I'm dead…but I'm alive as well" Andrew murmuring for himself. It's a fact that quite shocking him right now, he remembers how he died but also can't believe he alive again. Although Andrew is not a religious person, he believes when people die their soul will go to heaven.

"I'm alive…is that mean I'm reborn?" Andrew starts to accept the facts that happen to him now.

"But this appearance…. it looks like a monster…and that voice in my head before" Andrew keep thinking while putting himself in a quiet dark corner of the cave.

"That voice….it's sound mechanically…like computerized voice" Andrew try to link all the clues he had like arranging a puzzle.

"Wait a minute…monster…computer…could it be…this is the world of a game?" finally Andrew able to link all the clues he had to a solid conclusion.

"Yes, that must be it. I died in an accident while holding the CD game that I just bought….my soul somehow enter the CD game and I don't how the CD activated and I'm reborn in this world of a monster. Yes, that's the most possible explanation for what happened to me"

Andrew looks at his tiny hand and legs, and to other little green creatures near him. Their size is about 2 years old human baby.

"Why?.....why I should reborn into this kind of monster? Is there no human in this world that make me must reborn into this creature?"

Andrew feel so sad about this, although when he still alive he's not someone that can be called as a handsome man, but at least he's not bad looking and has a woman that loves him, Amanda. Remembering his wife makes Andrew's heart become sadder.

"I'm sorry Amanda, please take care of our son, since I'm no longer with you again"

Feeling depressed, Andrew decided to leave that cave. Although there's no light in the cave, Andrew's eyes can see clearly in the dark, he can see any rocks or any stone that scattered within the cave. And when he found the cave entrance and step outside, he dazed with the scenery he sees outside.

The cave located in a cliff wall and in front of the cave there is some clearing site that filled with green creatures like inside the cave, but with the bigger size. The tallest creature he saw is about 150 cm while the average height of those creatures is around 125 cm. Most of them wearing something like loincloth from animal furs and carrying various weapons like the club, stone spears, stone axes, rusty sword, crude bow, etc.

It seems the cave is a place for the offspring of those creatures, including Andrew, but he doesn't know who his parents in this world are. Some wooden hut can be seen in the clearing, this place like a village for those creatures. And beyond the clearing is a fast and thick forest. Some larger green creatures seem coming from the forest carrying some preys.

The way they eat their prey almost make Andrew to puke, after skinned, they just eat the meat raw with its blood in it. There's no cooking whatsoever to process the meat. But when Andrew realizes he also eat that raw meat like that before, the urge to puke in his belly vanished. Andrew's interest changes to the hut in the clearing. He curious with what inside that hut because he sees some bigger creatures comes in and out from that hut. Step by step he leaves the cave entrance, heading to the hut until one bigger creature spotted him leave the cave.

Seeing there's an infant leaving cave entrance, one bigger guy pointing at inside cave while speaking two words

"Weak. Inside"

Somehow Andrew can understand what that guy talking about. Because of the infant still weak, they must stay at the cave until they have the strength to stay in outside cave. Andrew did not want to attract any attention so he returns to the cave.

When he sits in his dark corner, the mechanical voice resounded again in his head.

*DING*

"HEY, WAIT…WHO ARE YOU!"

Andrew is screaming when he heard that voice again. He tries to make contact with the source of this voice. He has a lot of question that he wants to ask that voice.
