The night crept in slowly. It was almost night time out of Rombel, in the worker slave place. All the workers were waiting for the bell to ring. Everyone wanted to rest as soon as it rang.
All the workers moved away from the place rapidly. But the first worker that started running, ran before the bell rang, and he was near the walls, close to the gate. The guard stared at him slowly.
Meanwhile, he ran and looked left and right. He was in a hurry so he didn’t see them properly, as their clothing was almost the same as the walls. As soon as he entered first, he hurried to the small house.
At once the commander appeared from nowhere. As she saw him, he was the first. At once the others stopped. With her twin fingers she made a sign and called the guard or soldier near the gate. The jacketed soldier sprinted toward her. As they were 6 meters away from her they slowed down. There were two of them.
Immediately, he pointed at the workers and spoke seriously. She only wanted the truth, a direct answer, nothing else.
In an instant they all replied.
"He ran before the bell rang."
Moli turned and looked at the person as an insect to crush. She sneered at the worker. He froze completely, his eyes looked down to the ground.
Then she made a step toward him and whispered in his ear.
"I can forgive you if you do something for me?"
The worker nodded, and she whispered in his ear slowly. The words only he heard.
At that moment, he returned to the workers’ place. His facial expression darkened as he walked as if he was drunk, stumbling all the 3 meters. Moli observed him, arms folded.
"Should I still go and take a look at him?"
She thought for a second then she walked away. At once every worker ran toward the small house, even though few people walked freely and slowly as they wanted.
On the other hand, as Ken heard the sound of the bell, he worked a little more. Then immediately, as he was about to go he gazed to his right. He saw a slave worker approaching in his direction.
What does he want from me?
He moved out of the hole and immediately, the worker disappeared.
Where is he?.. Behind me?
Immediately, he turned behind. The worker grabbed his face and pulled it downward. His eyes were red as if he lost all his money or life.
Ken recoiled and said.
"What do you want from me?"
The worker stopped. He froze for a second and stared at Ken. With a heavy, hoarse voice he said.
"You... Need to..."
His eyes opened widely.
"Work, WORK!! Wor!K!"
Is this man okay? He needs mental treatment.
Immediately, a blue screen popped near his gaze.

As he saw that he breathed out in disappointment.
I thought it was something important... Ah my bad... How will I do?
He raised his arms to the night sky. Then it got completely dark at once. He looked down to the ground.
I didn’t receive anything, any salary... Of course it’s my second day... I’m already complaining.
He gazed at the other worker. The man immediately lit a lamp torch with contained petrol. As he put it close to Ken, he arranged his place and folded his arms together.
"I’m only an observer so start working."
Ken didn’t have a choice. He continued. He dug meter after meters, in depth, in width and length.
Ken was more than exhausted but he couldn’t give up.
If I don’t do as such I may die young... work only work, don’t think about anything else. If you’re poor you will be more poor if you don’t reason and take the good decision... and if I reason a second I’m in the situation of a poor person doing extra, forced labour.
At one moment, he couldn’t even think nor reason. His body was automated as a machine. Then he raised his arms, and his bones made an odd sound.
Crack
Immediately, the pick hit the ground. He lifted his head to the sky and saw bright stars. The sky was so shiny. He smiled as drops of his sweat ran down his face and finally hit the ground.

Meanwhile, the worker bent his head to the right.
"Hey... What are you doing?"
He stood up and moved toward Ken, put his hand on his shoulder. Suddenly, the lamp flickered twice and a purple aura radiated through him. He turned and gazed at him with shining eyes.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
At that time, the worker’s mouth closed. And Ken walked away. The workers gasped and spoke.
"Who was that?"
And above KEN was written.
