Earth 3025.
'Fallen City of Prideful Warrior'.
Code 101.
Dark clouds were covering the whole sky, it was covered in an mist of dark mana, red and white thunder roaring, like it's want to tell something, it was raining, streets of fallen city were drawn in that rain.
But!, there was something different, about that rain, it wasn't the normal rain, it was the rain of blood, same for those clouds above the city, they to were the artificial one, created for purpose, through some kind of advance sorcery.
From the alley, there was a cornor, moving forward not wating for anyone, a gate appeared, drenched branch laying on ground, and not wating for their time, again one sees the white tree, beside the white tree who once lived among the human.
Giving them shade and meaning, now that tree was no longer alive, beneath the tree was a mist like fog to, not the thick one, it was somehow visible there, and it was covering the tree branches, making them different from the original one's, there was a one shop in front of the tree.
That shop had broken doors and windows broken too, wall's were green, not because of paint, it was green because nature had took that wall as the part of it's own, that shop was big, big enough to be called home.
No supplies, no water, even the dust, who was covering the table, had forgotten long ago the taste of dryness.
There was a machine, a coffee one, food maker to, and in that gaze looking closer, corner one wall was hiding the ice cream machine, it wasn't cold anymore, even those small worms died starving inside them.
Machine's were broken and no longer functionable, and no person was inside the shop, even electricity was no longer working, no light, rain was getting stronger, and blood was turning that greenery into a very beautiful red painting, everything, everywhere was same.
Afterall fallen city was the part of the lowest ranking city, a city were the poor one lives, even lowest in ranking, whos life is not much of a different then a slave, even slave can survive if he tried enough, but in this forgotten city, slaves freedom is not much different then death.
Thunder was too loud, it was like the sky wanted break whole apart, in every cornor of fallen city, thunder was embracing the every object it can, 'smell of burning', even though rain was covering the scent of blood, but the nose was finding his way to smell, it was hard to breathe outside.
Sound of someone's cough echos in that chaos, not too loud, it was covered behind the hand.
Place was filled with puberty and dirty rivers, air was not breathable anymore nor the water was drinkable anymore, every corner was filled with waste and flesh, but it wasn't belongs to human, it was mana filled waste, dead one, it was completely different rotten.
While breathing suffocatingly, and passing through the alley of broken building's, crossing the street full of insects, and avoiding them to survive.
Do not try to kill them, those are the insects of dead one, they hunt in group, killing them was impossible without killing them completely, even one left behind was enough to eat the person alive slowly.
Passing through them, go straight toward the end without looking behind, at the end of the road there' was a garden, after reaching that garden who was no longer able to witness the smile of his companions, nor he can see the future, as it was trapped inside doom of time.
Sound of sigh. It was faint sound.
And inside the garden at the centre of lake, there was a person laying helplessly, crying, scared, "i dont know how?", "i don't know when?", "i don't know who?", "but, I am somehow transported into this world".
His body was not in good condition, "I'm hungry", it seems he hasn't eaten anything for long time... there' was no strength in his arms nor leg.
"I can barely open my eyes, my head, it hurts, I'm in pain like someone is crusing my head with his bare hand". But he don't know why?, it's been one hour since he found himself in this strange place.
"I do have memories, but they're nothing worth", because the place he was in right now, was the completely different realm, it' was a sub space created by the dream of the man whos body he was currently in.
And those dream have made the changess in reality, "I'm currently trapped inside of my own dream", he was crying, not in pain, but because of the situation of his, "no matter what I do, or try!, i can't break free from this dream!!!".
Everytime he tries to do something, a tentacles like thing who was outside devouring the river, it kills him.
"I have died already three times, and, i, I don't want to go outside anymore!", he was starving, but there was nothing he could do!.
Because that monster seems to have intelligence.
And after starving and dying three times already, this whole situation made him realise, that this dream world.
In order to break free from the world, he needed to defeat that monster, and move forward, "even though I'm dying again and again, and don't want to go outside".
No!, i need to kill that tentacle monster and cross the river..
"Only then I'll be able to survive", he was saying while making fist of courage, tough he don't have strength, "even though i want to, but how?!, I'm just a normal human being, how am I supposed to defeat such a thing?".
And knowing his memories and the memories of that man, he don't seems to possess any special power like other.
Even though this world have supernatural powers, but!, because the original owner born in slum, and didn't receive any special awakening seal.
He Sighed again, "I'm talentless".
In this world only noble have privilege to live like a special, but for normal people!, who born as a life stocks slave whos only nature is to work for them and die in their state, he don't have that kind of privilege and power.
But even though knowing that there's zero survival rate for low born without awakening in the world of dreams.
Original owner, he had still trapped himself inside his own dream to awaken his reality and power.
"Although this guy who is me, he was dead after i awaken my memories, but!, because i born here so basically he is me, we both are same".
"So particularly this's my fault, i wanted to live, and wanted to survive in this world".
Well in a world like calamity itself, where one's survival depends on their own instincts, capabilities, knowledge, experience, and all together it comes to hunting ability. In this world only those have awaken the powerful dream, only they can survive and live.
And the young man, who was desperately wanted to live, wanted to break free from the cycle of hierarchy created by system, he did this so he can break free from the low ranking, and cross over the wall and see the world beyond.
Even though he knew that his luck is not good, he did everything, but his dream, chose to devoured him.
He was holding together, even though he might die any moment again, trauma of his death was also there hunting him, his breath was too heavy, every single breath, his heart beat, even though outside it was raining, thunder echoing, but his heart beat was more loud.
Suddenly grwal sound echos in garden.
It was His stomach who was roaring in hunger, he lifts his head slowly, "how long do i have to?!!!", "I'm hungry, something, i need something to eat!!!", "i don't care, just give me food dame it!!!".
As he tries to stay sane starving in the centre of lake, it was like a hell, every single second was.
He let out his laughter as he heard the sound of his stomach again, "i don't care!, this is it, I'm dying anyway, but!!, I'm not fucking dying without killing that fucker, I'll drink his blood, I'll eat his flesh like he chewed my flesh!!!!".
And he bites the dead insect monster, chunk of flesh was in his mouth, rotten blood started to come out, his mouth was burning, because of dead mana, even in pain he did not care.
"Aggh, hwak!, this taste, this flesh doesn't taste good!". "No!, i must eat!", he clenched his teeth making disgusted expression.
Despite all, he couldn't bring himself to swallow that flesh of dead mana.
He spits out the part of dead insect, that he eated, although he was still feeling pain in his mouth, but his mouth heals instantly, because it was the world of dreems, nothing matters inside the world where everything is mystry.
"Ah.. so now, even pain is no more... Am i loosing my senity?".
There was no pain he could feel, and after eating flesh of rotten mana he realised that his dream was devouring him, "this world might really devoure me, even before i get to kill that fucker!!!!...."
"There has to be a way".
"I'm in different world, a nightmare one".
"I need to move, I can't stay here any longer!".
He gathered enough strength in his body so he could stand, and with blurry vision he stood.
Looking arround at the same spot again and again, he was currently in a place where the lake end's and his blood stains become visible to him, looking at the door, exit of that garden.
Whole garden was too big, "how beautiful this garden would be, if this world was alive?".
Although this was the world of dreems, but every world have their own consciousness, they're not much different from the real one, it's like ruined one, but as the dreamer awakens, so the world.
He grabs a tiny rock on his hand, and throws that' rock outside, rock landed safely outside, but!, there wasn't a single movment of any living being.
It was suspicious indeed, his heart was beating fast, nervousness all over again, because complete silence is the sign of something dangerous could happen in any moment.
He smiled with crazed expression, shaking his nervousness off, "I'm going to die again".
