After the rain, always comes the sun. At the end of the tunnel, there will always be light. That's something I've heard countless times already. Yet still, I don't see either of these. As rain was falling down the window, I was sitting in a class. My body was there, but my mind wasn't. It was on a totally different place which couldn't be described by words. And so, the days were passing. Over and over, day after the day I felt like my life has no meaning. I was living life on repeat mode, waiting for something to happen. Or so I thought to myself. I was willing to do anything, just to get out of this cyrcle of boredom that we call reality. As I was heading back home from school, something was odd. Bag which I always leave at school under my dask, was in my backpack. I didn't forget it, I left it there intentionally. But I thought to myself, it must be my imagination. So I did it again tomorrow. Left it under, yet it appeared in my backpack. While I was too busy thinking about what is going in, I didn't even realise that a car is coming my way. Too late for me too move, too fast for it to stop. In blink of eye, car passed by me. It didn't go around. I didn't move to side. It felt like the car skipped over me. As if I wasn't there. It was just then when a realised that I was standing a few steps down from where I was at first. Like if someone moved a chess piece on table. And I was that chess piece. With confusion in my mind I thought to myself:

- Shit could have ended my boredom, yet somehow I end up to see another boring day.

I headed back home normally right after, hoping that no one saw what happened. Since I know as much as any witnesses would know, it would just be a waste of time to answer pointless questions.

Few days have passed since then I started thinking that it was a dream. Again, in a single moment the class door which was closed, instantly opened. There was no one. The door didn't even open slowly. It just opened. I got weird presence in the room. And it appeared that no one even noticed the door.

- How is that even possible?! Can no one but me see that?

The moment I looked down, something was written in my notebook.

- Your name?

Left in shock, this just confirmed my doubt from earlier. Something did happen in that car accident. Something did happen with my school bag. And this feeling. It's very familiar. As if I felt it somewhere already. But I couldn't remember.

- Leyce.

I slowly wrote my name in the notebook. Another sentence appeared before my eyes.

- Do you hate me?

What on earth is this. Do I hate who...?

As I was writing down "who are you", another sentence appeared:

- There are some things that can't be learned or explained by words. Truth can only be found the hard way. Do you have what it takes to face it?

What is this supposed to mean? Do I have wha-

- Answer with yes or no.

Without much thinking I decided to flip a coin of fate and write down:

- Yes.

Corruption, 11. 999. 999, Rose, Lighting, Swords, Coat, No Secrets, Conqueror of the World, Betrayal, Princess.........

Countless moments flashed before my eyes. As something, like a movie was happening in my mind, unable to move, that weird presence was disappearing. For a moment everything stopped again. And so, the door slapped. Along with it, I dropped my pencil and fell down. World turned pitch black. Nothingness was all around me. Just then my eyes opened. I found myself in the middle of a forest completely alone... And I felt as I forgot something very important. Something which I found rather familiar, yet so unknown.
