Chapter 1 - Prologue

"Tip-Tap-Tapped"

The sky outside darkened as raindrops started to fall gently against Aki's window in the dimly lit room. He sat on a slightly worn-out couch, his smartphone held loosely in his hand.

The soft glow of the device illuminated his face, reflecting a mix of boredom and yearning.

His fingers moved with familiarity over the screen, the virtual interactions creating a familiar rhythm in the quiet room.

"Click," "click,"

"Swipe,"

The room echoed with the repetitive sounds of virtual interactions.

Aki sighed, feeling monotony settle upon him like a heavy blanket.

"What a boring life!"

"I feel like a fish out of water here!"

He thought aloud, sounding frustrated.

"I wish I were also a part of a fantasy story!"

His heart longed for something beyond the confines of his virtual existence.

He craved the freedom to - explore and experience a world teeming with magic and wonder, where heroes battled mythical creatures and embarked on epic quests.

As he continued to scroll through his social media feeds, lost in his daydreams, the soft patter of rain outside began to intensify.

The room was suddenly filled with a loud

"BOOM!"

reverberated through the air, causing his heart to race with uncertainty. Wide-eyed and bewildered, he strained to understand the source of this unexpected disturbance.

"What was this!"

"That wasn't just thunder..."

Aki wondered aloud, his voice barely above a whisper.

Outside, chaos erupted with fervent intensity.

The city turned chaotic as people scattered in every direction, their cries urging everyone to run.

Dogs joined in the commotion with abnormal barks, their

"Bow-vow!"

adding to the disarray.

A surge of adrenaline coursed through Aki's veins, electrifying his senses. His body jolted upright from the bed as he rushed to the window, his palms meeting the cool, smooth glass as raindrops created a watery pattern.

Peering out, he witnessed a scene both captivating and alarming. The passing crowd wore expressions of fear and fascination, drawn like moths to a flame.

The city's siren unleashed its haunting melody, a mournful cry that weaved through the air with eerie grace, foreboding a disruption of the ordinary.

In the midst of this sophisticatedly arranged pandemonium, Aki felt a stirring within him, as if the very essence of his reality was about to shift.

With a mixture of trepidation and anticipation, he realized that a new beginning was unfolding before him.

The boundary between his daydreams and reality blurred, leaving him standing at the ridge of an extraordinary journey.

The air buzzed with excitement, urging him to step into the unknown.

Little did he realize that this mysterious event would spark an adventure beyond his wildest dreams.
