A week before the Great Returning.
Earth. January 3, 2018.
In a small room, a youngster laying down in his bed with his hand covering his face. His name is Rey Harry, a student in the Albert Senior Highschool. He is ordinary boy lived in D city, the Republic of Dawn. The Republic of dawn was one of the superpowers on earth. The other superpowers beside the Republic of Dawn were The Chen Kingdom, Sakura Kingdom, Republic of Russ, and lastly Republic of Hindi.
This world was also called Earth, but it is not our earth. The culture in this earth was a little different to our earth.
Long time ago, earth has abundance spiritual power. A lot of master born. They fight for power and the right to rules. The strong rules, the weak ruled. The spiritual power became thinner and thinner. Those master was died one by one. The ruler was overthrown by the masses. Some of them created democratic nation while some of them build a kingdom. Thousand years later, technology became advance. People have forgot those master who once ruled the earth but some of them still remained. Maintaining their tradition absorbing the thin spiritual power of earth to strengthen themselves. Some of them lives in the mountain creating a sect, hiding from the society while some of the live in the bustling city became business or live in underworld to do dirty business.
Rey does not know what will happen to his world later, because for now he is just ordinary school boy who feeling broken heart. Rey was ignorant about what is spiritual power and oblivious about all of it.
"Fuck.. So embarrassing... What the hell."
Rey was ordinary boy with ordinary face. He was lazy to exercise so that his body was not strong. He is 175 cm, slightly shorter than his peers. He was not popular, but he is not the target of bully. In short, he is just a very-very ordinary guy. Rey also fallen in love. He is fall to his classmate Ana. Today, he gathered his courage to confess his love. He wants to confess his love to Anna after the school over. Unfortunately, he was rejected.
"What a shame."
Rey sighed. He knows that he would be rejected by Anna, but he insisting to try it. Anna was not a bad girl. She is not the most beautiful in the school, but she was a beauty herself and have kind heart so that several boys had their eye on her, including Rey. She has great figure, with short blond hair, fair chest, and long legs.
In fact, Anna has rejected several boys who confess to her, including Rey. Anna does want to be in relationship with any boys in the school. In short, she is just pure and simple girl. Anna may reject Rey, but she also does not want their friendship shattered because of her rejection. Unfortunately, Rey was too embarrassed. Without waiting for Ana's explanation, he was already running for his home.
"I need some fresh air."
He said. Then he is walking out of his house looking at the sky, sighed.
"Where are you going?"
His mom asked him. Then he answered.
"I just want to get some fresh air."
"Make sure you come before dinner!"
His mother said. Rey just slightly nod to her and head out outside.
"What a nice day."
"Hahahahah."
Rey laugh foolishly recalling the moment Anna rejected him.
"What happen to him?"
His mom was murmured worried about his son.
"Just let him be, he has grown up."
His father assuring his mother.
Rey starts to walk in the street enjoying the scenery around his house. Suddenly, he realized that he had walked pretty far from his house. He arrived in the huge river at his village. He stopped for a while but decided to continue to walk around.
"It is so refreshing walking around here."
Rey face became more cheerful forgetting the bitter event before.
"Eh. What is that? A ring?"
Rey approach the strange object close to the river.
"It is indeed a ring. A black ring. Who left their ring here?"
Rey thought while staring at the black colored ring.
"Whatever, since I found this ring. This ring will become mine. Hehehe."
Rey laugh foolishly and then wear the black ring. He gazed the sky realized that the sky has turned yellow. Rey decided to go home. Rey arrived at his home while the sky turned dark.
Rey eats with his family. Mother, Father, and his little sister Bella Harry. After dinner he go straight to his room laying in his bed checking his phone.
"Eh.."
Rey was slightly stunned because there are several missed calls to his phone. He then checked the "culprit".
"Anna? Why did she call me?"
Rey was conflicted whether to call her back or not. He was ashamed by the event this noon.
"What should I do? Should I call her?
Rey murmured and then decided to send her a massage.
"Sup?"
"How are you?"
Unexpectedly, Anna response was very fast.
"I am doing fine."
"Are you mad at me?"
"No."
"Really"
"Yes"
"But, why did your answer was so short."
Rey was confused. 'So what should I say, women.' He thought. Then he answered her chat.
"I am really not, Anna. Trust me."
Several minutes passed. Then Anna replied.
"Okey. I will believe you."
Rey read it but replied only by emoticon smile. Then he turns off his phone. He sighed.
"Woman.."
He murmured.
"Should I ask Dave go to swimming pool tomorrow? Tomorrow was holiday anyway, so my parents would not mind."
Dave was Rey's best friend as well as his desk mate. They always gossiped together about everything, especially about woman. Dave know that Rey has a feeling for Anna and Rey also know who the girl his best friend has fallen to. They went to canteen together. Play together and make a fool of themselves together. They know each other very well so that people suspecting whether were in relationship which pissed them off.
Their family has similar condition. Rey's father works in plastic factory as the ordinary worker while Dave's father works at the bank as the security guard. Their salary was similar. Rey's father earns 4800 dollar a month while Dave's father earns slightly higher which is 4900 dollar a month. These salaries, in the Republic of Dawn was considered slightly above average because in average, the people in Republic of Dawn earn 4000 dollar a month.
"Come to think of it. We already go to swimming pool two weeks ago. I think I should think something else. Hmmm. Should I go to."
While thinking, Rey closed his eyes.
"Where should we travel to?"
Right at this moment. Rey was feeling that something was off. First, he feels that the room became brighter even if he closed his eyes, he able to feel it. Second, his soft warm bed became as hard as stone. 'What the fuck is happen?' He thought. Then he was shocked.
"Am I dreaming right now?"
In front of him was the green forest with huge trees in every corner of the forest.
"Yes, I must be in the dream."
Rey tried to stand in his 'dream', but he was slipped and fall from the rock he was standing on.
"Arghhh… Its hurt so much."
He then realized something was off.
"How can I hurt myself in my dream."
He murmured and pinch his cheek.
"Fuck… Why do I even pinch my cheek so hard. I am a fool."
He cried for himself. He came to himself and terrified.
"Does that mean I am not dreaming. If I am not dreaming, where the hell am I?"
