Chapter 3 - Persistency

Gream was given an important task on the day of the festival. She can use her Magic dreamland to make a person's soul enter her own world. To attain this kind of power she must be asleep to summon the soul of the said person but in return of this unimaginable power she must regain by separating her soul to her body her used power for a week or more. Her body will be asleep for a long week and she will remain in her own world until she regains her strength again.

While she was alone in her own world she heard something that made her open her eyes. She heard the footsteps of someone in the grass that she built. She can change everything in that world. The grassland that she was laying with can be a beach with a thousand stars and a beautiful moon in the night. She can eat whatever she wants and play whatever she wants to play. That world is a scape world but there's always a risk in attaining the things you want to. She'll never know where her body is because while she doing her task on torturing the criminal soul or make the criminal admit what they have done, her body is traveling too in tree's that protecting her from danger. But she always woke up with many wounds and grazes in her body. The trees will hide her from the people who have a bad intention to their fellows while the tree will make you see her body to make you help the poor lady. That's what is happening to Greams body while casting this kind of magic.

There's no such person who can enter this world of hers except for those souls that desperately want to attain something.

She frowned when she saw a boy looking around as if it's finding his way home.

"Who are you?"

She sharply looked at the boy's face. She knew that their age is not that far from each other but she's positive that she's older than this boy.

"Uh?! Oh! You're that woman!"

He exclaimed with delight.

Gream doesn't understand what he was trying to say but she has a hint that maybe this boy in front of her saw her body somewhere.

"I'm asking you, who are you?"

The boy smiled at her and offered his hand for a shake.

"I'm Han Liam and I really don't know why I'm here. Where am I?"

Gream smacked his hand and crossed her both arms on her chest. He was ashamed, took his hand back and still gave her a smile.

"I don't know who you are but if you want something from me then tell it at once. I'm not going to listen to why and how you die or something like that."

Liam suddenly froze as he heard the word die on her.

"What are you talking about? I'm still alive, who passed away?"

He confusedly smiled while reminiscing about what happened a while ago.

Gream felt a clemency towards the boy because of the fact that the boy didn't know that he already passed away.

"There's two kinds of people who can enter this world of mine. One that I can let pass here and one that already died and has a strong desire to attain something like revenge. In our case I can't let you pass her because despite that I don't have a business with you, I don't know you at all and my body doesn't have the strength to summon someone here. Since I can't summon you here because of my incapability, the last one is the other reason, you are already a willful soul that wants to do something."

He was dumbfounded, chuckled with disbelief. He didn't want to attain something or wanted to do something in that kind of place. He's conceited that the world he was in was very admirable and too peaceful for his perplexing mind but dying is not what he is expecting right now.

His memory is not clear and it's so hard for him to remember what happened to both of them and why the heck he is in that kind of place.

"No no.. haha you must be mistaken. I even carried your body awhile ago so how come that I died like that? I carried you at my back and take you in my house then after that-"

*Thump*

He remembered the sudden sting on his chest and how he suffered from that pain and lost his consciousness.

"Look, I'm very thankful that you took my body somewhere safe but you can't change the fact that you already lost your life."

He shook his head while still chuckling. He will never accept that thing even though he knew from himself that there's a veracity on what the lady was saying.

"Stop saying that. I'm still alive."

Gream started to feel uneasiness.

"What?"

"Just tell me where's the way out here."

"The moment you step out in this world, you will permanently fade in the real world. You're already dead."

"I said I'm still alive"

All he was thinking right now is what his father could feel if it's true that he had already passed away.

"Are you nuts?! I'm here for three days and I'm sure you're already dead for three days also. If you're destined to die at your young age, you can't change it!"

"No! I'm the one who can build my own destiny. Neither you nor that stupid fate can say that this is the end of my life. There's just something wrong in your power and I'm sure! I can feel it! I'm still alive!"

He is not that kind of person who will be rude in front of strangers, especially to a girl who doesn't do something unpleasant to him except for saying that he's already dead.

"Stop it!"

The lady is already pissed off because of the persistence of the boy. Seems like the boy doesn't want to accept his fate.

"I'm still alive."

"Please rest in peace Han Liam."

She's convincing him for the thing he will never accept.

"I'm still alive."

"Nothing will change if you keep on insisting!"

"I'm still alive."

He whispered.

He keeps insisting but Gream really knows what power she has and she's certain of that thing, he's already dead.

"YOU'RE DEAD!"

She shouted to make her words clear in the boy's mind.

"I'M ALIVE!"

The boy tried to hold her wrist to make her understand that he can feel that he's still alive. But after he reached the woman's wrist.

*SUDDEN GASP*

He woke in the dark and tight space that he was laying on.

He's already dead for five days and his father decided to bury him on the fifth day of his death. 

He gasped for air and asked for help in his head. He might lose his life again if no one will rescue him under that ground.

He can't scream and all he can do is to thump the cover of the coffin he was laying in.

RUWAN was laughing while thinking of the current situation of their new member.

"Hey dumbass! Don't just laugh there!  He might really die if we won't take him out there ASAP!"

Trijeus yelled at him, one of the members who will bring Liam out of the ground where Liam was layin'.

"You should bring Hunter here, not me."

They both positioned in the opposite edge of the new covered soil

"Here I come! *Sword Slash*"

The sword came out in the hand of Ruwan and divided the ground.

"Hey! You might kill him again!"-Trijeus

"Not really, that's too shallow."-Ruwan

Trijeus just shook his head with disbelieved

From the divided ground, Trijeus immediately released his little tornado to help them from quick digging. It's almost two minutes when they finally saw the coffin of Liam.

*Sword Slash*

Ruwan gave the coffin a hole to make Liam breathe the air.

*Woosh!*

They both looked at their newly arrived member.

"Yeind, Zaki? What are you both doing here?"

Zaki was eating while Yeind was smiling at them.

"Hmmm.. we can't do something in the base so we decided to follow you both here."

Zaki said while her mouth was full.

"I also want to see who captured Greams Ace card. Where is he?"

They all looked at the grave that the two men both dug.

"Pull him up and check if he's still alive so we can go back to Gream-"

*BLAG!*

Liam forcefully pushed the top of the coffin.

*Panting*

They are all shocked when Liam crushed the coffin's cover.
