already tried this book series thing too many times lol just gonna post this and be done with it
8:32 (Timezone Unknown) On a train to the great west 2376 AD (before TCC was founded)
As I traveled among the midsts of the many passengers, I couldn't but help feel melancholy. I recently departed from my parents to finally become a man. However, the hardships and numerous responsibilities proved that growing up was not an easy task. I still tried to push on, more so I struggled though. My dream was to move to the great west and start a Corporation. never thought out how I would do so, nor did I ever plan ahead. I felt disappointed, for I may never be able to prove my might to the world. Although, that all changed when I was actually given a chance...
"One thousand gold pieces to the man that can explain how this new machinery works!", shouted someone from down the train.
My heart thumped, I felt excitement replace the hollow melancholic feel. I knew much about every type of steam machine, as well as knowing how they work too. I even heard chatter amongst many others too. One thousand gold pieces is enough to keep somebody satisfied for at least seven months. I swiftly got up from my seat and then sprinted down the many train sections, quickly coming to the one where the man stood. As I approached the table, attempting to politely push people put of the way, I saw the machine. I myself was quite perplexed, for it was not a portable engine or steam-blowing machine. It was more like a tool, however what it did was much more extraordinary. The richly dressed man proceeded to place the machine on the table. Then all it needed was the push of a button, and it dismantled the entire table. The machine even continued to attempt to dismantle the train itself, however the man pulled a string, and the machine stopped.
"Oh, excuse my manners please, my name is Nicholas Freeman.", said Nicholas to the large crowd of people. "Remember, no guessing! You only get one try and that is it."
Many people stepped forward, saying obvious things such as steam or cogs. However, I already knew they were wrong. Mad I contemplated the answer, I grew uneasy. What if I didn't know it? What if I wasted my only chance? I quickly diminished these thoughts for ones that will only build my confidence, not destroy it. I then thought that there is only one thing that a portable machine as that can run on. I pushed my way, respectfully, to the front.
"Oil!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
Everyone turned towards me, including Nicholas. I felt my cheeks get red, embarrassment coming on. I felt idiotic saying oil, because only a few machines could run on something of the sort. I turned around to go back to my seat in shame, though the cheers of Nicholas stopped me.
"Why, this young man over here must be the smartest one on the train!", said Nicholas with a laugh. "I am quite surprised no one else would even think to guess oil. Congratulations, er, what is your name young man?"
"Adam.", I replied, shocked that I had actually won the little contest.
"Congratulations Adam!", Nicholas gleefully said while handing me the bag of gold coins.
At that moment, I felt as if all my worries were gone. The happiness growing inside of me grew faster with every second. I simply smiled and thanked a few people who congratulated me.
"Hey Adam, may I see you in my private coach? We have much to discuss.", Nicholas said with almost a whisper.
As I followed Nicholas to his coach, I proudly held my gold coins. I had so many ideas that were never possible until now. I can even start my own Corporation, and the idea of this made me excited. We soon approached the coach and entered. Inside of it held the most expensive items I ever seen in my life. Velvet carpets, authentic Victorian chairs, and a desk worthy of a only a conductor. I then realized who this man was, because to own these items must require a large amount of money. He was the owner of the entire railroad and train system.
"Adam, I have been looking for new officials of my business, and I see potential in you. It is why I hosted the contest, to see who would answer the question correctly. You are one of the first to do so, in the hundreds of contests I have held.", Nicholas said
"So you are offering me an instant chance to become an official within the entire empire of steam trains? Why, of course I would accept your offer!", I replied, stunned.
"Great! Come with me, for I am traveling to the capital of the business itself, after we stop at the Great West.", Nicholas responded.
For the rest of the train ride, I felt as if I were a rich man. Due to me being an official, I was given my own coach. The coach was not unlike the other luxurious one. It was expensively decorated, and even had a few velvet carpet. As I lied upon my bed, I felt proud of my new job. I started as if I were trapped in a package, however that box was now unwrapped. I finally felt as if my life truly began.
