Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Male Protagonist's Reality and the Female Protagonist's Alternate Dimension

#### **The Male Protagonist's World**

Night had fallen, and the neon lights of the city filtered through the gaps in the window, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the room. The male protagonist sat at his desk, eyes locked onto the screen, his fingers moving steadily over the keyboard. His movements were mechanical, quiet, like an artist painting without passion. On the screen, a project code lingered, incomplete. Each line seemed to hold some kind of secret, a puzzle he could almost solve, yet the truth always slipped just beyond his grasp, leaving him frustrated and uncertain.

"It's time for a break," he muttered softly to himself. He pressed the Enter key and minimized the window. Rubbing his eyes, he walked into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, his gaze involuntarily drifting toward the window.

The outside world was still alive with sound, the honking of car horns, the distant flicker of neon lights creating an invisible rhythm that matched the pulse of the city. In this bustling metropolis, the male protagonist's life felt oddly solitary. Despite having friends, attending gatherings, and participating in work events, there was an emptiness that always lingered, as if a piece of him was missing.

He wasn't sure where this feeling came from, nor had he ever truly sought to understand it—until recently, when he began having strange dreams. These dreams, however, didn't belong to the world he lived in.

In these dreams, he would find himself in an otherworldly place, with skies so blue it almost hurt to look at. It felt like there was no gravity, and the air was so fresh that he could almost taste every breeze. In this place, the architecture was bizarre, structures made from shimmering crystals or metals that glowed faintly, constantly shifting in color. The people there wore outfits similar to his world but seemed to possess powers that defied logic. A simple wave of the hand could make objects float.

These dreams unsettled him deeply. Upon waking, there was always a sense of incompleteness, as though something important had slipped through his fingers. But no matter how hard he tried, he could never explain the connection between these visions and his reality.

Lately, these dreamlike images seemed to be infiltrating his waking life as well. Sometimes, at work, he would make decisions that felt oddly out of place, or he would notice details he had never paid attention to before. Just today, while debugging code, he had stumbled across an illogical error—something that looked like a strange, unknown symbol embedded in the code. He couldn't even fathom how it had gotten there.

"This isn't my code…" he whispered under his breath.

Perhaps it was just exhaustion or his mind playing tricks on him. He had been working late, after all. Yet, the nagging feeling wouldn't leave him.

His phone rang, snapping him out of his thoughts. He picked up the phone, seeing it was a call from his friend.

"How's it going?" his friend's voice came through the receiver, cheerful as always.

"Same old, same old. Work's the usual," he replied, sounding detached.

"Come on, you need to relax a bit! How about we go out this weekend? You can't just bury yourself in work all the time."

He hesitated, glancing at the darkening sky outside. The city was alive with possibilities, yet here he was, trapped in his own repetitive existence.

"Okay, sure. See you on the weekend," he finally agreed, hanging up the phone. But as he placed it back on the desk, an inexplicable unease settled in. He couldn't shake the feeling that something—something bigger—was looming just beyond his understanding.

#### **The Female Protagonist's World**

Meanwhile, in a world starkly different from the male protagonist's, the female protagonist, **Elia**, was facing an arduous task. Her world was one of mystery and technology, a realm where magic and science intertwined seamlessly. The sky here was often a deep purple, where the lines between day and night blurred. The city she inhabited was like no other, with towering structures that defied gravity and islands floating in the air, each glowing with a strange, ethereal light. The stars in the sky were unlike any in the male protagonist's world, flickering in patterns that felt both ancient and futuristic.

Elia was a **Dimension Envoy**, entrusted with the mission of maintaining the balance across multiple dimensions. She wore a dark blue outfit that flowed as if it were part of the wind itself. Her eyes were sharp and calculating, exuding an intelligence and resolve far beyond her years. She had spent her life studying the mysteries of these realms, becoming one of the youngest and most skilled Envoys to ever serve.

Her city was a colossal, floating metropolis, built above ancient, hidden energies. Below the surface, the remnants of forgotten powers slumbered, and above, the streets were filled with a mixture of humans and strange, otherworldly creatures, coexisting through advanced technology and magic. Yet, despite the seemingly harmonious society, all was not well. Dark forces were quietly rising, threatening the very fabric of the dimensional barriers.

Elia's most critical mission was to protect the **Core of Dimensions**, a powerful artifact that kept the barriers between worlds intact. If the Core were to fall into the wrong hands or be destroyed, the very fabric of reality itself would unravel, sending chaos spiraling across all dimensions.

From a young age, Elia was trained to become a protector of the dimensions. Her abilities were unmatched, and she had participated in countless missions, guarding sacred sites and preventing dimensional breaches. But now, the stakes were higher than ever. She had been sent on a new quest: to find a long-lost artifact rumored to have the power to unlock the Core's full potential. This quest would take her through perilous places—ancient ruins, uncharted planets, and even the very depths of alternate realities.

Elia stood before an ancient temple, her gaze fixed on the intricate symbols carved into its surface. These runes carried an aura of mystery, whispering secrets from an age long past. She knew that within this temple lay not only the key to her mission but the fate of her world.

"I must complete this mission," she whispered, resolute. Her duty was clear, her path set. Despite the dangers that lay ahead, she had never once doubted her purpose. For she knew that if the dimensions fell, there would be no world left to protect.

As Elia prepared to enter the temple, a sudden surge of energy rippled through the air. A strange, unsettling feeling washed over her, as though something—someone—was drawing nearer. It was an unfamiliar sensation, yet somehow, it felt hauntingly familiar, like a force she had encountered before. She paused, narrowing her eyes as the energy continued to pulse. A distortion in the fabric of space-time was approaching.

She stepped forward, undeterred, but her instincts told her that this was no ordinary disturbance. Something—perhaps from another dimension—was on the verge of breaking through. And it was tied to her fate, whether she liked it or not.
