Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: A Pivotal Meeting

Ryan's college life continued amid the unsettling events that had begun to shape his world. He attended his classes diligently, a sense of determination in the face of the looming mysteries. The curious connection between his dreams and the inexplicable occurrences left him both intrigued and wary.

One day, as he walked through the corridor after finishing his classes, a chance encounter changed the course of his journey. He collided with a professor, and both of them tumbled to the ground. As they attempted to regain their footing, the professor fixed his gaze on Ryan, a spark of recognition in his eyes.

**Professor**: (With a hint of recognition) You seem familiar. Have we met before?

**Ryan**: (Surprised) I don't think so, sir. I'm just a student here.

The professor persisted, intrigued by the familiarity.

**Professor**: (Thoughtfully) Your name, young man?

**Ryan**: (Nervously) Ryan Ravan, sir.

The professor's eyes widened, and he extended an invitation.

**Professor**: (Warmly) Ryan, come to my office. I'd like to talk to you.

In the professor's office, they engaged in a discussion that began with Ryan's studies and gradually shifted to more personal matters. When the topic of family issues arose, Ryan's demeanor changed slightly, a shadow passing over his face.

**Professor**: (Observant) I see, it's a sensitive topic. You don't have to share if you don't want to.

Grateful for the professor's understanding, Ryan appreciated the shift in the conversation. As their conversation continued, Ryan's curiosity got the better of him.

**Ryan**: (Inquisitive) Sir, I couldn't help but notice a paper on your table. It mentioned an upcoming event. What's it about?

The professor regarded Ryan for a moment, a glint of intrigue in his eyes.

**Professor**: (Smiling) Ah, you're observant, Ryan. It's an upcoming event, a stellar article about to be displayed in a museum. It's a rare and fascinating piece, one that's creating a buzz in the academic community.

Ryan's interest was piqued, and he couldn't hide his enthusiasm.

**Ryan**: (Excited) That sounds amazing! I'm a bit of a history enthusiast, so I had a little curiosity.

The professor recognized the spark of genuine interest in Ryan's eyes.

**Professor**: (Encouraging) Well, it just so happens that I have an invitation. Would you like to join me at the event? It might be an excellent opportunity for you.

Ryan gladly accepted the professor's invitation, his heart filled with anticipation for what lay ahead.

Meanwhile, the professor received a call, and a hushed conversation unfolded.

**Professor**: (Intrigued) Are you certain about the things happening around the world? Is it really happening?

**Unknown Voice**: (Serious) Yes, sir, it's happening.

The professor, clearly perturbed, checked data on his computer, confirming the unsettling reality.

**Professor**: (Murmuring) The dark cosmos has fallen on the earth. Why is this happening after so many centuries, and why now?

The enigma surrounding Ryan and his connection to the inexplicable events was just a piece of a larger puzzle. The shadows of an ancient cosmic secret loomed, and the professor was left to grapple with the mysterious forces that were now in motion.
