Ep.1 [ "A dream, isn't it?" ]

I woke up, my hair completely messed up. Didn't bother me much though, the only fact that kept disturbing me was that... vivid dream I had last night. It was so real, it's hard to believe that it was just a dream. Or I can say, a weird nightmare maybe.

- FLASHBACK TO THE DREAM -

Suddenly I wake up in a unknown place, laying on the glass floor. I looked around, a bit fascinated by the place. I stood up, walking towards this enormous door in the front. The place was quite empty and quiet. It did scare me a bit but the only thing that was on my mind right now was the enormous sized door. I tried to open the door, but it was too heavy for me to open easily. After around a hundred tries possibly, I managed to open the door a tiny bit. Though, good enough for me to slip to the other side.
As I was coming out of the door, putting all my focus to slipping out of the door and not paying attention to looking what was on the other side. As my head was faced to the door, and I took a step back. I could fell myself falling down suddenly. From where? I don't know either. It was completely black. The speed ofe falling down, increased every second. As each time it speed goes faster, my heart starts beating more faster. And, Boom!

Everything goes blank and a few minutes later I wake up back in my reality.

- END OF FLASHBACK -

The "dream" makes me curious. Where did I fall? What was on the other side. The blackhole? I chuckled a little at the sudden thought. Usually, I forget dreams after waking up, just remembering a few glimpse of them but this time I completely and clearly remember each part of it. "Weird... Huh.", I thought. I got off my bed, going to the bathroom to get ready. I didn't have anything to do today, I was completely free. It's not something I get to experience much, usually my schedule is compeletely full. just working all day and night.
I decided to do something productive, something that won't make me tired but rather make me feel better. Maybe going to places? with friends? siblings? Oh well.
After getting ready, I went to a nearby library. I like going there, this time it was surprisingly very quiet. Yes? Oh I know what you are thinking. "Libraries are supposed to be quiet places." or something like that. Not this library, literally so much noise, knowing how it is a public library and in middle of the busiest place in the whole city. It gets annoying but then again, When I am focused on reading... I lose connection with the world. Just me and the book, no noise... no people. compeletely empty I'd say.
I walk in the library, looking for the Space / astronomy section of the library. Getting to know more about the universe always makes my day. I have been interested in astronomy since I was barely 6 years old. 
I leaned up a little, to get this one book quite high up on the shelf. Suddenly I turn around and see this blonde guy. In weird but cool clothes. I thought, "Eek- People actually still wear these kind of clothes? Well okay man." He suddenly spoke, in his low voice, "Need help with that?" I nodded, just wanting to get the book as quickly as possible. patience has never been my forte.
He gave me a warm smile, sort of making my heart flutter a little. As he was reaching up to get the book, he asked me, "Your name?"
I told him, "My name is Y/N... and yours?" He said, "Pretty name. Mine is Lee Yongbok. You can call me Felix though." I smiled at him, just staring at his frenckles. They looked quite pretty to me.
As I was lost in my thoughts, he suddenly patted my shoulder and handed me the book. He said, "You there?" then he chuckled quietly. I got a little surprised, and very embarrassed. I said, "O-oh yeah sorry about that." 
I took the book from him and then he said, "well, I should be going now. I have a bit of... personal business to finish. I am quite sure we'll be seeing eachother again... quite soon. Bye, have a nice day Y/N." after saying that, he just walked away.
The way he talked, was a little weird. He seemed kinda mysterious? I thought it was just his personality, judging from his grunge looking clothes.

- LATER AFTER 4 HOURS -

Gosh, I am getting sleepy now. I have been reading non-stop for 4 hours. I yawned like a million times already. I am going back home, I just want to sleep. 

- AFTER REACHING HOME -

"Home, sweet home." I said while putting away my shoes after coming inside my apartment. I quickly walked into my room, putting my bag on the sofa. I laid down on the bed, sighing softly. I suddenly started thinking about Felix again, Wondering when I'll be meeting him again. Slowly while thinking about so many things, I fell asleep without realizing. 

ㅡ INSIDE THE "DREAM" ㅡ

"Tick, tock, tick, tock" the clock's sounds woke me up. This time I was in a room, with green lights all around the room. I slowly rubbed my eyes, trying to make my vision more clear. 
I could see this... man wearing glasses. Talking to someone on the telephone. Standing behind the counter in the corner. I could hear a bit of what he was saying,

"Hm? Yeah. They are here. Be careful, I feel a powerful aura coming from them." then after a few minutes he cut the call, putting down the telephone. I got up and stood infront of the counter, looking at him. He looked at me, observing me deeply.

Then he said, "Y/N?"

I was shocked, how the heck did he know my name? I don't know this person. 

He tilted his head a bit saying, "I am Bang Chan. You are currently on Level 1. I'll be guiding you throughout your journey."
I looked at him, confused.

Y/N : "Level 1? What?"
CHAN : "Oh sorry, let me explain. I forgot you are new to this. Welcome to the game of Orddinady , Here in this game... you need to survive and be the savior of our reality. Will you be able to do that? Or are you gonna just stay... ordinary?"

His words, confused me. I wasn't one bit aware of what's going on right now. It was all just so sudden.

Chan : "We are expecting you to be our savior Y/N. Do take this seriously, it's not just any game. It's as serious as life and death. Or even more serious than that."
Y/N : "But... how do I get on Level 2?"
Chan : "I see you are understanding now. Getting on Level 2 is quite easy. All you have to do is go right through that orange door, leading you to Han. The clock maker. He'll be giving you one of his fishy tasks. Who knows what? He is quite much of an unexpected person. don't mind him putting some droplets in his eyes every once in a while, it helps him in making clocks... somehow."

I nodded, finally getting a hang of what's happening here. 
I took small steps, leading myself to the orange door. Slowly opening it.
I fall inside automatically, not being able to see anything because of the bright white light affecting my eyes.


ㅡ " D-do you just want to stay ordinary or... "
