My eyes opened to the sharp sound of the alarm ⏰
I wanted to go back to sleep…
I needed to know—
about that dungeon… about that girl…
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fall asleep again.
I don't know why… 😨
I went downstairs for breakfast…
But there was no one at home.
No mom…
No dad…
Not even our maid…
I started shouting—
"Hello…? Is anyone there…?"
But the only answer was silence… 🥶
I called my friend,
but his phone was switched off 📱
Fear slowly started creeping in…
I stepped outside…
And what I saw made the ground slip beneath my feet 😳
That house…
The same house from my dream… 🏠
My hands and legs stopped responding.
Suddenly, my entire colony… my home…
everything slowly began to turn into that graveyard ⚰️
I was back…
right where it all began…
I was terrified…
My body went numb…
I just stood there, frozen…
Then slowly, I dropped to my knees…
And started crying… 😢
No friends…
No family…
There was no one around…
I was completely alone…
I started regretting everything—
"Why did I go there…?"
Then, a voice came from behind me—
"Hey… boy…"
I slowly turned around…
An old man was standing there…
Like some ancient knight, straight out of a story or a movie 👴⚔️
And he had his sword pointed right at my neck.
My throat went dry…
He asked,
"Who are you? You don't belong here… how did you get here?"
I stammered,
"M-my name is Zaif…"
Then he said his name—
"Elias Throne."
I told him everything…
Everything that had happened to me…
He stayed silent for a while…
Then said slowly—
"So you're trapped here too… just like me." 😶
But there was still doubt in his eyes…
Especially when it came to that girl…
Suddenly—
Grrrrr…!!
We both turned around—
Goblins. 👹
They were back.
My legs went numb again…
I started running in fear…
But the old man was fighting… ⚔️
He shouted loudly—
"Don't run! If you run… you'll regret it!"
Suddenly—
A sharp pain pierced my chest…
I looked down…
A sword…
had gone straight through my chest. 💀
It was a goblin's blade…
My breathing started to fade…
Everything slowly turned dark…
And then…
I woke up.
I was back in my house… 🏠
Everything was normal…
But this time…
something inside me had broken.
Was it all just a dream… or am I truly trapped in that place? ❓
And if that girl is real… then what does she want from me? 😈
