Before he could finish—
The green line vanished completely.
And Vyom collapsed into sleep.
---
When Vyom opened his eyes, he found himself in that dimension.
The shadow-figure girl was sitting on one side, her face was down, like she was depressed and She was crying quietly, but anyone who saw her could notice it.
When she noticed someone was there,
she lifted her head and saw Vyom in front of her and started talking with a creepy smile,
"It was you… coming again. Ha ha ha."
Vyom didn't respond. When he saw her and noticed where he had come again, he became afraid. Sweat came down his neck.
She stood up and started coming near Vyom.
She said,
"Why did you not bring me here?"
Vyom fearfully said,
"I do not know what you are talking about. Even I don't know this place."
She stopped for a while, her expression showing depression or surprise, but suddenly she again made that creepy smile
and She started laughing,
"Ha ha ha ha… He he ha ha ha ha."
She said,
"Do you think I am a fool? If I believe you, can you explain why only you come and go, but I can't, and no one else comes?"
Vyom was afraid but said,
"I don't know."
Then he suddenly woke up in his room and he saw his ring. It was like 25% of the ring line was glowing.
"What the hell is going on with me? "
"Even though it is cold, he is like he have just taken a bath."
"I think I am mad."
He saw his assignment — only one paragraph was left to complete.
Some time later
It was about 2 PM.
He whispered, "Finally, it's over."
Then he saw Keya giving him some photos.
He thought,
"What! No, no… all of my work is going to be wasted."
But when he opened them, he relaxed. They were only homework photos.
Vyom: "Thanks, but did you not sleep yet?"
Keya: "No… I have some work."
Vyom: "Wow… some days ago someone told me not to take too much stress."
Keya: "Umm… but only today, I swear. On other days I sleep at 12 or 1 PM."
Vyom: "It's your choice when you sleep, but at least 6–7 hours are you needed for your body. When do you wake up in the morning? ."
Keya: "about 5-6 o'clock "
Vyom: "Today, how many hours do you think you will sleep?"
Keya: "I think 3 hours."
Vyom: "Keya, you are going to go mad. Now it's over — go to sleep."
Keya: "But I have to study, and exams are coming. "
Vyom: " If you get sick, how will you write the exam?"
Keya: Okay, good night. You will go to sleep, and what about you ?."
Vyom: "yes, i am going to sleep and you know why I am wake"
Vyom: "If you don't sleep, then I will not talk to you from tomorrow."
Keya: "Okay, then don't talk to me."
Some time later—
Keya: "Hello, Vyom."
Vyom saw the message but didn't respond.
Keya: "Hello?"
Vyom saw it but didn't respond.
Keya: "Okay, I will sleep."
Vyom: " okay, I will confirm with uncle and aunty."
Keya: "Okay, good night."
Vyom: "Good night."
Then he went to bed to sleep and whispered,
"It is like The world has already slept; not a single word could be heard."
He fixed his bed and fell onto it.
He whispered,
"What dream will I see today?"
And he slept.
Vyom slept.
Some time later,
he woke up, but he didn't find his watch. Then he looked at his surroundings and found himself in that place where he had slept in his dream.
He thought that he was going to be mad.
But suddenly, a sound came from his stomach. He thought, "What? Even in a dream I am hungry?"
But he had no money, so he thought, "I should do some work for food."
Then he noticed the wall. He thought, "Wow, what art! In old times, humans were very strong and intelligent. What carving!"
Then he thought, "Is there anything I can do? But if I do not try, how will I know?"
Suddenly, the door opened and a man came in. He wore a traditional old-type dress. His face was calm like a mountain top, but his voice was cold.
The man asked,
"Your time is over. Do you want to book it for one more day?"
Vyom replied,"No… no.. need."
Vyom thought, "If he asked me the same question without showing himself, I would definitely die from a heart attack."
The man said again,"Okay. Thank you for visiting our hotel. Some time later, new customers are coming, so…"
Vyom said,"Yeah… yeah… I was just thinking of leaving."
Then the man started going outside the door.
But Vyom suddenly asked him,"Do you know what qualifications are needed to get a job?"
The man replied,"Which type of magical ability do you have?"
Vyom thought, "What the hell did he just say? Did I ask him about magic? Is he really saying this, or am I mad and hallucinating?"
So Vyom decided not to ask anything more,
Because he was really terrifying.
The man said,
"I have some work, so may I…?"
Vyom said fearfully,
"Yeah… yeah… you can go."
When the man left, Vyom whispered to himself,
"What a terrifying man he is."
Some time later,
he came out of the hotel,
But his stomach was rumbling, he was very hungry.
Vyom whispered, "What will I do? I am really very hungry. But I ate food some time ago… I think before sleeping."
Vyom whispered again, but this time with anger, "Then why… why am I so hungry?"
Then he became depressed and whispered,
"If I don't eat, I will die."
So he decided to find a store where he could ask for a job.
Then Vyom went to find a store.
Some time later, he found one.
The store was neither big nor small, and it was not like modern ones, and it did not have many customers. The store, like the hotel, was made of stone.
When he saw the shopkeeper, she was a woman about 35 years old. She was wearing a blue saree (a traditional dress), and she wore a gold necklace with a yellow gem. Both her hands were full of gold bangles, and she had gold and diamond earrings in her ears
Vyom went near the shopkeeper and asked gently,
Vyom said,"Do you have any job for me?"
The shopkeeper replied casually,"No, actually our staff is full. But tell me, how much mana capacity do you have? And which type of power do you possess?"
Vyom was a little surprised and confused so he asked,"What? What are you talking about?"

her world? Am I… the hero?
He raised his hand, focusing hard.
"Fireball… water magic… anything…"
Nothing happened.
Exhaustion finally claimed him.
The long day weighed heavily on his body.
Vyom fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, soft morning light filled the room.
"6:00 a.m."
He was back.
In his own world.
Vyom sat up suddenly.
"…What?"
He rubbed his face, breathing slowly.
"What a dream…" he muttered.
"I haven't seen a dream like that in so long."
He lay back down, staring at the ceiling.
"Maybe my punishment is over. Yesterday was just a dream…"
