Have you ever seen strange, unexplored worlds in your dreams?
Did you want to stay in this world for the rest of your life, or did you want to leave it as soon as possible?
One of the days that passed again, boring as it used to be (work, gatherings with friends and similar little things), I came home, although it was even difficult to call it home…
It was a two-room apartment that I shared with one of the employees of our organization. Getting close to the bed that was near the window, and smelling the smell of spring freshness, I decided to go to bed.
The dream immediately seemed unusual to me. I found myself in the middle of a battle with some kind of monster that wanted to kill my comrades and myself.
I don't know how I realized that they were my comrades, as if someone had suggested it to me…
The girl, pointing a sword filled with light magic at the monster, rushed at him and, only slightly scratching him, jumped back.
The monster itself reminded me of a huge hamster, with a rich coat of hair, with a glowing scarlet gaze that pierced all of us from the inside. His legs were the size of the tree that was near him. On the belly was painted an emblem with a crossed out scarlet cross
- Kite, what are you standing for? I would help Helen! - shouted one of the guys who attacked the monster with his spear, which quickly pierced the monster, I didn't know how to act in such situations…
And I didn't know anything about my ability to magic, because I'm not the Kite that was with them before, before moving me into this dream.
"Did you fall asleep?" Heal me as soon as possible, otherwise I won't die soon..." said the girl with pink hair, whose name, as I understood, was Helen. She was beautiful. And even the blood of monsters on snow-white clothes could not hide it. The girl also pointed out to me the kind of magic that I could use, according to the spearman.
The ability to treat, of course, is a useful thing, but how effective is it?
Touching Helen's hand, I said a spell that came to my mind from nowhere. The spell was very simple: "The chains of sickness and pain will fall from her body."
Yes, the spell really worked, but, unfortunately, my strength seemed to completely begin to leave me.
The last thing I saw was that a group of guys and Helen had completely dealt with the monster.
I woke up on my bed from the scream of my flatmate, who, as it turned out, had been knocking on my room door for several minutes.
I opened the door and started to find out why he prevented me from sleeping properly.
- Do you think you didn't bother me? Just the same, you woke me up! Here, listen to your screams yourself, which you distributed in the middle of the night—" with these words, he handed me his phone, on which there really was some kind of recording.
Yes, the voice was definitely mine, there was nothing to find fault with... I probably screamed like that when I was healing Helen from a dream, although I already vaguely remembered it…
After asking for forgiveness, I headed back to my bed, but, unfortunately, I could not fall asleep. Then I started cooking food. There were very few products at home, and I had to go to a store that was not far from my house.
Having bought a small amount of food, I headed back home.
Going outside, I heard low-frequency sounds that spread over a very long distance.
On the way back home, some kind of incomprehensible hole had already formed near me, of course, I started looking for a detour, but, unfortunately, there was no detour through this hole.
Not even daring to think about this hole, I headed towards my work, even though there was a day off, but, nevertheless, someone remained there to finish their work.
I went there to figure out what kind of hole it was on the way.
But, unfortunately, I was blocked by another hole of the same incomprehensible origin…
I already started running in different directions, but, unfortunately, these damn holes appeared from all sides…
I was about to shout: "Help!" when suddenly they seemed to be pulling me inside themselves.
I was flying at such a furious speed, as if I was going to crash into a flat cake in some huge pit. I blacked out, I didn't even want to think what was happening to my body right now…
I woke up already in a snow-white building that reminded me of some hospital where soldiers are treated.
The hospital itself was furnished with flowers and tables with objects, and in places food and drink.
I woke up from very light slaps on the cheeks. In front of me was Helen, whom I had seen in my dream.
Behind her were the two guys who helped fight the monster. After the light slaps, something unexpected followed… She took and hugged me and with tears in her eyes began to repeat: "Thank you, thank you."
I pushed her away from me and said that there was nothing to thank me for, because I did everything for their good.
I also told them that I'm not the Kite they know…
- Guys, you will forgive me, of course, but I am not the Kite that was with you before this time, I came here in some very strange way, at first just a dream, and now through a hole that has formed in my world.
Everyone sat with faces, as if they knew and understood everything…
- Kite was destined to die here with this monster, so the great sages predicted to us, but thanks to you his body is still alive, so maybe his soul is somewhere near you, listen more closely, most likely you will hear him, - Helen said in her beautiful voice, which greatly fascinated me. Although she said it clearly, but still sobs from her could be heard.
I thought it was some kind of nonsense, how can I feel someone's soul, isn't it strange.But suddenly I remembered that in my ear, as if someone was whispering a spell that helped me heal Helen.
Still, I decided to listen, in case I hear something…
And after a short time, I heard the following words: "I will not return to this body anymore, tell this to Helen, Cody, Lana, thank them for the time spent in the squadron, as well as for their support and care for me." Even I myself was touched by such words, and I almost cried myself, because I still stole his body, even though I didn't realize it myself.
I recounted everything I had heard from the previous Kite.
Everyone fell silent and sat with very sad faces, because it's not every day they lose a loyal friend…
Wiping away the accumulated tears, the kid began to ask me what my real name was and how old I really was.
-- I am twenty-four years old, my name is Nidom, I used to work as an ordinary editor in a publishing house until I found myself here, thinking that this is the world of dreams…
I said this leaning on the bedside table, which stood next to my bed.
— So you're the eldest, we'll get acquainted, my name is Lan, the girl's name is Helen, and that fat guy is Cody. But, unfortunately, we will not call you the elder, because look at yourself. Now you are our age, so we will treat you the same as our peers," Lan said this with some kind of unpleasant attitude towards me, as if he already hates me and already wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. But still, I don't think he can do this to me.
In appearance, they were about seventeen or eighteen years old, okay, still a tolerant relationship, at seventeen years old… And thus began my survival in this world, from which I already wanted to escape, because I felt that I would not see a quiet life here…
