```
This was a dream, he knew that clearly, but he could not wake up.
He did not know why he was dreaming, nor did he know how to escape this dream world, but when he died for the third time in the dream, and everything started all over again, he had already understood that this world was a dream.
But he could not wake up, no matter what he tried.
If it weren't for the repetitive scenes and the sense of discordance after resurrecting from death that made him realize this was a dream, he would have even thought it was reality.
Everything was too real, be it the sensations or the pain, they were so real it was beyond enhancement, and the realness of death made him once believe he had truly died.
But he could neither die nor wake up from the dream.
He was trapped here, trapped in this dream, imprisoned by the dream world he found himself in.
