Many people strive to remain anonymous, and Mr. X is a perfect example of a man who succeeds in this task.
He never shows up at public events, and no one has ever seen his face. No one knows where Mr. X came from or where he lives It is known that he often travels the world, but no one knows what for. Some say Mr. X is a mysterious agent, but no one can confirm that. Others claim that he does secret scientific research or that he is a magician.
Regardless of what is said about him, Mr. X successfully remains anonymous and mysterious despite all the rumors and speculation.
It was getting light. Mr. X couldn't wait, so he headed along the alley around the monastery to scout and prepare.
He was anxious and looked like he was looking for something very important.
Mr. X was a man of strange and deep thought, and this was reflected in his closet, which consisted of a blue jacket, red pants, and a dark hat.
He believed that blue symbolized purity and chastity, while red symbolized passion and energy. Black, on the other hand, symbolized mystery and enigma. The certainty that these colors reflected his personality was evidenced by the complete absence of clothing of any other color.
Over time, he sometimes even stopped seeing other colors, they became almost white to him.
Even today he needs that color. White, symbolizing invisibility.
Mr. X was an honest man, but he had an important goal today - and he needed something to achieve it. As he turned off the alley, he made his way to the temple grounds, not really sure why he needed it, but something inside him told him that he had to do it.
In the courtyard of the monastery, Mr. X saw white sheets drying outside. He realized that this was what he needed, and that he needed to get his hands on it at all costs. For fear of being spotted by nuns who kept appearing here and there - it was decided to wait, hiding in the flower garden.
After a while, Mr. X saw that the nuns were busy minding their own business and not paying attention to the patio. This was the most opportune moment! He quickly pulled down one sheet of the clothesline and hid it under his jacket.
After making sure no one noticed him, he left in a hurry.
Mr. X was a man who lived by his own rules. He was independent and autonomous, and never sought help from others.
The day before, when he woke up, he suddenly found a baby boy asleep in his house with a note lying beside him, with only one phrase written in jagged handwriting - "Save yourself by saving him".
How could this have happened? Who planted baby? Could there have been some mystery involved?
Mr. X was in shock, but he didn't panic. He decided he had to hide the baby or flee this town. He knew that they would be spotted sooner or later, and that he wouldn't be able to keep him safe alone for long. At least not until the situation became clearer.
Mr. X understood that he had to make the decision that would be best for the baby. He decided that the best thing to do would be to wrap the baby in a white sheet and leave this town. Mr. X firmly believed that the white sheet was capable of hiding the baby from all eyes, and that it would be a safe haven for him.
Kid X.
It was realized that it would be easier to sort things out without the baby in his arms, so it was decided to hide Kid X for a while with the very nuns in whose convent he had stolen one sheet. It would be good for the baby there. The nuns accepted the baby without too many questions.
Kid X reminded Mr. X of the home he grew up in. The past and the future are not opposites, but form a whole. He began to realize that his past was the foundation for his future, and that he needed to see his once-family home again.
A reconstruction is needed.
Reconstructing his memories, Mr. X recalls the night he stumbled upon an egg of unbelievable size while walking through the night village. At first glance, it was an ordinary egg, with a rough surface.
X looked around, there was no one around. It was quite chilly outside, and the egg might have frozen. The life inside it would be cut short.
There was a ladder lying nearby, and that was the spark for the crazy idea: "I've got to hatch it!"
Climbing onto the egg, X sat patiently, warming the egg with the warmth of his body. After a while, sounds began to come out of the egg, as if someone was quietly mangling the shell from inside. It lasted about an hour. And then... then incredible music came from inside that Mr. X had never heard before. Rejoicing that the egg dweller was alive and most likely well, Mr. X began to dance to the rhythm of the music.
Until the sound of the shell cracked.
The shell of the egg flew apart, and a thick, dark blue smoke enveloped everything. Mr. X felt dizzy and his consciousness shut down.
The whistling in his ears made him open his eyes and realize that some blurry shadows were rushing by and a plank beneath his feet. It felt like it had been going on forever, but through the humming X began to hear some voice repeating the same indecipherable phrase...
"I hope it's someone who can help me figure out where I am and what's wrong with me," - the thought flashed through his head.
Making several attempts to speed up, X nearly fell several times, but he could not catch up with the fading voice. There was a pungent smell of a burnt match in the air. Fear of the unknown permeated his soul and he wanted to scream, but no one would hear him.
Because there was nothing around but the fragments of his own memory, into which he had been sucked.
Mr. X found himself in the middle of the desert. Here is one of the memories.
The brim of my hat barely saved me from the scorching rays of the sun. I licked my parched lips. I was so thirsty. The thirst was so strong that I was willing to give everything I had for a sip of water.
I had to move forward to find a safe place to sleep. Continuing to sleep on the sand was impossible, it was cold at night...plus those damn scorpions, ugh.
I was moving forward rather slowly, I had very little energy. Almost exhausted, I fell to my knees and started praying to gods unknown to me, I didn't understand why I was here, why, and how much further I had to go. And worst of all, I didn't know the end point of this grueling journey.
I collapsed on the sand, curled up in the fetal position. How symbolic. A living embryo, but so defenseless against its environment.
My eyes were already closing when I suddenly noticed a silhouette on the horizon. He was getting closer, and at one point he was next to me and held out his hand for me to stand up.
I stood up, hastily shook the sand off my clothes, and tried to get a good look at him. He was wearing a sand-colored suit, but... I couldn't figure out what was wrong with his face and hands... The stranger caught my gaze and laughed out loud.
I was at a loss for words. I now understood why there was such a pleasant smell all around, and why the stranger's hand was a little sticky.
He continued:
My name is Desert Dough. I pinch off a small pea-sized piece of dough, roll it into a ball, and throw it into the sand, which in turn pulls the ball into itself, and a new person appears in your world. This is how you people come into the world. And the place around you is what you call a kind of Limbo. Or The Parade Room of Life. As you please. I must go now, my friend. You're on the right track, go straight ahead and don't turn around.
Everything suddenly went black, and I blacked out again, like when the Egg cracked.
Mission Description:
The air is still as Mr. X and Mr. Y face off against each other in the empty street. They move in perfect synchronicity, each trying to outdo the other with their moves. As they dance, their movements seem to take on a life of their own, filling the empty space around them with an electric energy.
Watching from the sidelines is SempAI, a master of American-Japanese arts. He knows that there is more to this dance-off than meets the eye. To him, the dance is a representation of the human struggle, a metaphor for the push and pull of life.
As the dance-off comes to a close, SempAI watches in silence. There is no crowd to cheer or judge, and victory is a mystery. But to SempAI, that doesn't matter.
He sees in the dancers' movements a deep understanding of the human experience, a sense of purpose that transcends any physical reward. In that moment, SempAI realizes that the true winner of the dance-off is not Mr. X or Mr. Y, but the dance itself.
It is a testament to the human spirit, to the beauty and power of movement and expression. As the dancers bow to each other in respect, SempAI nods in acknowledgement. He knows that this dance-off has been a rare and beautiful moment, a glimpse into the mystery of life itself.
And he carries that understanding with him as he quietly slips away, leaving the dancers to their own thoughts and reflections.
After the last meetings with the Desert Dough and the strange dancing with a certain Mr. Y, our protagonist had a long time to come to his senses. Waking up sitting on the bench next to another stranger Mr. X looked around. Or rather he tried to look around, but he couldn't because there was nothing around except fog. The grayish haze stretched to infinity. X shuddered at the cold air.
"At least it's not as hot as the desert," he thought.
It was time to figure out where X was this time.
"Ser, where are we? Ser...?" - he turned to the stranger.
Silence followed in response. The stranger sat motionless as a stone in a Japanese garden and seemed to be staring at one point, oblivious to the outside world.
Was it a human? His head was made of plaster, his shoes were plaster boots with red soles, his coat and pants were exactly the same as Mr. X's, the only difference being that his pants were blue. His face was constantly changing, as if thousands upon thousands of emotions were displayed in a fraction of a second.
"I should definitely stop being surprised by everything I see," another thought ran through Mr. X's head.
Only now did he notice that there was a bottle of something incomprehensible in front of them.
"Probably alcohol, but at least it'll keep us warm."
X took the bottle in his hand and at that moment the plaster man shouted loudly:
"PUT IT DOWN."
Mr. X almost dropped the bottle in surprise, but obediently put it down.
"I am Plaster Henry. I was born from a piece of plaster that ended up in the hands of a sculptor working in a sculpture studio. I was a small but wonderfully detailed piece of plaster that became part of a larger sculpture composition. One day, on a day when the workshop was closed, I came to life. I gained consciousness and the ability to move, and I was amazed that the world around me was so real and alive.
I began my life wandering around the city and learning about its streets and inhabitants. I learned to hide to avoid danger and to observe people to understand their behavior and way of life. But one great desire took over my life: to drink strong gin, which I once tasted in the workshop. I fell in love with its taste and smell, and I did everything in my power to get my first bottle by remaining unnoticed.
When I first found a full bottle of strong gin, I took to its contents, and when I drank every last drop, I knew that I had found freedom and could enjoy life to the fullest. From then on I became a secret inhabitant of shops and bars...always on the lookout for a bottle of gin. I don't know how much longer I will live, but one thing I do know is that I will continue to drink strong gin and enjoy life as much as I can.
Now I've met you on my path, X. You are clearly special, I sense that you are searching for the meaning of your life and your past and you are willing to do anything to find it all. I offer you a challenge - try three sips of my favorite drink."
Mr. X was puzzled-what could this simple task give him? But Henry knew that gin was not just a drink, but a symbol of life that could help a man find his way. X agreed to the challenge.
The first sip was as bitter as life itself. But with it, X learned to accept life as it is and to find beauty in it.
The second sip was sweet, like hope for the future. X learned to believe in his own strength and to go for the goal, even if it seems impossible.
The third sip was poignant, like the moments when hard decisions have to be made. X learned to make those decisions with courage and without hesitation.
It became clear that Henry had given him not just three sips of alcohol, but three life lessons. He thankfully shook Henry's hand and walked away, knowing that he could now find his meaning in life.
But as soon as he got a decent distance away from his sudden drinking companion, Mr. X was surrounded by black smoke again and his consciousness shut down.
Mr. X opened his eyes and found himself near a large lake.
"I can't figure out how I got here, because the last thing I remember is drinking gin with Plaster Henry."
He crouched down, trying to remember how he got here. Hearing a quiet splash of water, he turned around to look around. He saw a figure in white walking on the water.
It was Jesus.
Mr. X was amazed at what he saw, for he knew it was impossible. He jumped up and began to quickly approach the lake to get a better look. It really was Jesus and he was really walking on the water surface.
It was hard to believe his eyes. He looked at Jesus, who continued to walk on the water as if nothing much was going on. His footsteps were sure and he was getting closer. As Jesus got closer, Mr. X turned to him and said: "How do you do it? How do you walk on water?"
Jesus replied, "It is my faith. Faith in God gives me the power to do the impossible." Mr. X pondered these words. He realized that faith in God can indeed give a person unusual strength and confidence. He decided that he needed to start believing in God in order to get the same power as Jesus had.
Mr. X spent several days with Jesus, learning from him and talking about faith. He felt his life had changed and he had found a new path.
Soon, however, it was time to say goodbyeand Mr. X was about to go on his journey.
Our protagonist walked Jesus to the shore of the lake and thanked him for all he had given him. Jesus smiled and said he would always be there for him if he needed him. Then Jesus took a few steps on the water and disappeared from sight.
Mr. X was left alone, standing by the shore and looking out at the water. He realized that this was not just a random experience, but something more important.
And again he lost consciousness in a cloud of acrid black smoke.

The Untold Story of Mr. X
Mr. X - The Enlightenment
Mr. X's surroundings shifted once more as he regained consciousness. This time, he found himself in a dimly lit room with stone walls covered in ancient symbols and enigmatic runes. In the center of the room, there was a large, red rectangular object with a white, blurry silhouette of an old man holding a staff. The room had an eerie, otherworldly ambiance, and Mr. X had a feeling that he was in the presence of something extraordinary.
As he gazed around the room, a strange sense of familiarity washed over him. He couldn't quite place it, but the symbols on the walls seemed to resonate with a distant memory. He felt a connection to this place, as if it held the key to unlocking the mysteries of his past.
Mr. X approached the red rectangular object with the white silhouette. The image of the old man with a staff felt like an invitation or a clue, and he couldn't resist the urge to touch it. As he placed his hand on the image, a surge of energy coursed through his body. His skin tingled, and his vision seemed to blur.
In that moment, the room's symbols came to life, swirling and dancing in the air around him. The ancient runes began to tell a story, a story of an age-old prophecy involving Mr. X and his quest for self-discovery. The old man with the staff represented a guide on this journey, someone who held the answers to the questions that had haunted Mr. X for so long.
With each passing moment, the story became clearer, and Mr. X's purpose became more apparent. The red rectangle, a symbol of transition and transformation, indicated that he was on the verge of a profound change. He was about to unlock the secrets of his past and uncover the true meaning of his existence.
Just as the revelations were reaching their climax, Mr. X felt a surge of power and insight. The knowledge he had sought for so long was within his grasp. His skin took on a human hue, his eyes lit up with newfound understanding, and he felt a profound connection to the universe.
But as quickly as the enlightenment had come, it began to fade. The symbols on the walls returned to their dormant state, and the room grew darker. Mr. X's newfound knowledge slipped through his fingers like sand, leaving him with only fragments of the revelation.
Desperate to hold on to the wisdom he had glimpsed, Mr. X strained to remember the symbols, the story, and the meaning of it all. But the more he grasped, the faster it slipped away.
In the end, the room returned to its mysterious silence, and Mr. X found himself once again in a state of confusion and uncertainty. He had come so close to unlocking the secrets of his past, yet they remained just out of reach.
With a heavy heart, he knew that his quest for answers was far from over. As the room faded into darkness, he closed his eyes, ready to embrace the next leg of his enigmatic journey. His consciousness slipped away as he pondered the significance of the symbols and the message they held, determined to find the old man with the staff and discover the truth about his existence.
