Almost 3 years ago, I was summoned to another world called Valor, it was a place of European medieval design. With added fantasy elements, like magic and creatures that you can not see normally.

The magic system was much different than what i have been reading, a system is assigned to those blessed by gods. Aegis Synthesis, that was my assigned system to defeat the demon lord that preyed upon the people.

The only difference was that, unlike most other fantasy worlds where races of different species coexist, there are realms in place.

Within the Verdant Veil forest lies the Verdant Veil Realm where the forest based races live.

The Radiant Sanctum, a place within the skies itself, lies the angelic races. While the Abyss Sanctum housed the demonic races.

The beastfolks and oceanic races lived in harmony within the Arcane Expanse realm.

The overworld is where the humans lie, the place I was summoned in. The Holy Viterra Kingdom was the 'home' i stayed within for 20 years.

I remember everything, all the acquaintances I made, the adventure, everything. The moment I slain the demon lord, Malgorth, a being from the demonic race, I was sent back to my home world.

"..x"

"..lex..!"

"Alex!!!"

A familiar voice of my childhood friend, Scarlett Taylor, entered my ears.

"Huh?"

I stumbled in my voice, confused as I heard her sigh. It's currently March 8th, 2067, almost 3 years after my "dream" ended when I was 14.

"Jeez, Were you thinking of that dream again? You have been zoning out more recently after we got accepted into this school."

She lectured as she made an indifferent face. She had always been my stability of sorts since I 'came' back. I laughed slightly.

"Sorry Scar, it just resurfacing as of recently. Were you saying something?"

I asked, normally I would just listen to all her rambling about stuff.

"Right, anyways-"

The bell ringged for class as she just grumbled, getting up to face the front. I sat at the back, as she sat in front of me.

'This is how things should be right? So... why is it that the memories from Valor are resurfacing more frequently than normal?'

I thought for a bit before getting the chills.

'I suddenly don't wanna think about such a possibility.'

I rubbed the neck of my nose before focusing on what the teacher said.

-

"Before the bell rang, as I was saying. There is a new TV series coming out, the novel series you have been reading 'Awoken Journey'."

Scarlett began as I nodded.

"Yeah, I know. The first book 'Land of Vassia' is the first season that was being made. I can't wait for the episode to come out, apparently it'll be almost an hour long. The Elysian Production wanted to make it 'book accurate' in the show."

I happily mentioned. The Awoken Journey series came out 2 years ago, it became my favorite, and just as it came out, a year later it was being turned into a tv series. Due to it being a worldwide hit across all countries.

"I may have begun to read it since I wanted to know what they meant accurate to the book."

Scarlett responded, I was genuinely surprised as she was more interested in romance stuff since that was all she spoke about. I stood in my tracks.

"Are you an imposter?"

I asked, she looked back in disbelief.

"You dumbass!!"

She came up and started to hit me. Quite the usual thing as I laughed, a fragment of memory crossed my mind.

A close friend from Valor acted the same way. 'No wonder she was familiar.'

I felt a smile creep up as she finished, huffing about.

"Just because i wanted to see something different doesn't mean i'm an imposter."

She simi lectured, as she began to walk off to the next class. I merely followed, rubbing where she hitted, "Why must I have such sensitive skin..." I mumbled in complaint.

'But... was it really a dream? Everything in Valor felt real…'
