In the midst of a blurred, flat expanse resembling an endless ocean, a lone figure stood. His hair, like the surrounding haze, was a shade of blue, and his eyes mirrored the mysterious depths of the ethereal landscape. The boy, Alex Banner, found himself in a realm untouched by the familiar constraints of time and space. Before him stretched the enigmatic canvas of the magical realm, waiting to unfold its secrets.
In a moment of contemplation, Alex let out a sigh, feeling the weight of the unknown in this surreal place. Suddenly, a mystical presence emerged from the haze—a fox with a radiant blue aura, its seven tails gracefully trailing behind. The fox, akin to the one Isaac had summoned, regarded Alex with intelligent eyes, a silent acknowledgment of their shared journey in this mesmerizing realm.
Amidst the mystical surroundings, a laughter bubbled up from within Alex. The surreal nature of the magical realm, the unexpected encounter with the fox spirit, and the mysteries that lay ahead all contributed to a genuine and hearty laughter. A smile played on Alex's lips as he embraced the enchantment of this uncharted journey, ready to unravel the secrets that awaited him in the fantastical expanse.
In the midst of his laughter, Alex found himself softly repeating Isaac's name, a whisper carried by the ethereal winds of the magical realm. The connection to Isaac, forged through the summoning ritual, lingered in the air. The fox spirit, a silent observer, seemed to understand the unspoken bond between the two and awaited the unfolding of their intertwined destinies.
As Alex and the fox spirit continued their journey through the surreal expanse, a majestic tree with blue leaves and a rich brown trunk emerged from the haze. Around it, a small landmass in the endless ocean formed, creating a picturesque scene of beauty and tranquility. The tree, an embodiment of magic in this realm, bore fruits that grew rapidly. Surprisingly, the fruits weren't blue like the leaves but a vibrant green, adding a striking contrast to the overall enchanting landscape. The air was filled with an otherworldly fragrance, and the sight of the flourishing tree hinted at the magical wonders this realm held.
In a burst of curiosity, Alex couldn't resist the allure of the magical tree. With a jump towards its inviting branches, he found himself in the midst of the lush blue leaves. Turning to the fox spirit, he couldn't contain his amazement.
"Hey, did you know? Isaac just summoned a spirit, just like us," Alex exclaimed, his surprise evident in his voice. The fox spirit, with its enigmatic gaze, seemed to acknowledge the connection between the two summoned spirits, creating a bridge between the separate journeys of Alex and Isaac in this enchanting realm.

As the sun began its descent, casting hues of orange and pink across the magical landscape, the moon ascended with a radiant blue glow. Alex, mesmerized by the unique celestial display, found himself drawn to the luminous moon. In that moment, he spoke aloud, his words carried by the gentle winds of the mystical realm.
"Issac, I am so curious," Alex mused, staring at the majestic blue moon. "What will you do in a world where power dominates and the weak suffer?" The question hung in the air, echoing through the magical expanse, as if reaching across the ethereal divide to Isaac in his own journey.
With a contemplative sigh, Alex turned away from the mesmerizing moon, shifting his attention to the fox spirit resting on the land where the magical tree flourished. There was a thoughtful expression on the fox's face, an air of wisdom that belied its mystical nature.
"Is Issac really going to find the moon art?" the fox spoke, its words laced with a touch of suspicion. The question lingered in the air, suggesting that the journey ahead might be more intricate and layered than Alex initially perceived.
"Yes," replied Alex with a knowing smile, "of course, you don't know. After all, he is as cunning as a fox, just like we are." The acknowledgment of Isaac's resourcefulness added a layer of camaraderie between the summoned spirits, implying that the paths of these cunning entities were intricately woven into the fabric of the magical realm.
With a subtle nod, Alex's smile took on a slightly mysterious edge. "I'll be watching you, Isaac," he declared, his words carrying a hint of playful camaraderie. As the moon bathed the magical realm in its radiant blue light, the fox spirit rested, and Alex stood beneath the mystical tree, the trio bound by the threads of destiny that wove through the enchanting landscape.

As Issac uttered the invitation, the door swung open, revealing a figure with a slim body, silver hair, and a stature taller than Alex. A sharp headache pierced through Alex's mind, accompanied by a rush of memories. This man was Ken, also known as the loyal servant of Alex Banner.
The recollection of their shared history brought a mix of emotions to Alex's face—memories both known and seemingly forgotten, resurfacing in the presence of his loyal companion. The room, once shrouded in mystery, now held the weight of past connections and the promise of unfolding destinies.
Isaac, observing from his perspective, felt a familiar yet unsettling emotion as he saw Alex's interaction with Ken. The echoes of past betrayals, reminiscent of experiences with Javert, stirred within him. The pain of trust broken by comrades who posed as friends lingered, casting a shadow on his ability to completely trust anew.
Despite the uncertainty, Isaac's resilience prevailed, and he chose not to fully trust Alex at this juncture. The scars of past betrayals had shaped his cautious nature, and he remained vigilant in the face of the unknown, unwilling to let history repeat itself.
"Are you okay, young master?" Ken inquired with a note of concern in his voice, his words carrying a weighted undertone. The peculiar atmosphere in the room, coupled with Alex's apparent struggle with memories, prompted Ken to address his master with a mix of care and caution. The air was charged with unspoken history, setting the stage for a complex dynamic between the trio.
After a brief pause, Alex composed himself and responded, "Of course." His tone carried an air of reassurance, as if to affirm that he could navigate the currents of his memories and emotions. The room, laden with the weight of history and unspoken connections, held its breath, anticipating the next steps in this intricate dance of past and present.
Ken's expression shifted subtly, a hint of skepticism lingering in his eyes. "Are you sure?" he repeated, his gaze searching Alex's face for any signs of hidden turmoil or uncertainty. The unspoken tension between them hinted at a shared history, one that Alex grappled with while Ken remained vigilant, questioning the depths of their intertwined destinies.
Issac, sensing the subtle tension, decided to break the moment with a practical request. "Ah, by the way, Ken, can you please cook some food?" he requested, introducing a mundane task to shift the focus from the complexities of the past to the immediate present. The prospect of a shared meal, a simple yet essential act, created a temporary reprieve from the intricacies that surrounded them.
"Alright, I'll cook your favorite," Ken replied, the air still carrying the remnants of unspoken dynamics. With a nod, he turned to attend to the task, the kitchen becoming a temporary refuge from the weighty atmosphere in the room. As Ken immersed himself in the preparations, the aroma of food began to permeate the space, offering a comforting distraction from the complexities that lingered in the air.
As the fox spirit floated, its curious gaze fixed on Ken, Alex contemplated that the mystical creature could perceive the emotions of others. The air of mystery surrounding the fox hinted at its unique abilities, adding another layer to the dynamics unfolding in the room.
"Okay," Alex acknowledged. "I will be going outside for a walk. I need some air," Isaac declared, his tone carrying a hint of contentment. The prospect of a leisurely stroll presented an opportunity for reflection and a temporary escape from the complexities that surrounded them. As Isaac ventured into the open air, the magical realm awaited, veiled in the blue glow of the moon and the mysteries that lay beyond.
"Ah, okay," Ken responded, acknowledging Isaac's need for solitude. The room, now filled with the aroma of cooking food and the mystical presence of the fox spirit, settled into a momentary calm. Each character, with their unique perspectives and histories, navigated the intricacies of the magical realm in their own way.

As Alex stepped outside, he found himself on a majestic pathway leading to an elevator. The pathway was adorned with intricate patterns and soft lights, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The doors to the elevator were adorned with unique designs, each telling a story of the magical realm beyond. Alex stood before this enchanting gateway, the promise of discovery and adventure lingering in the air.
From Alex's memories, Isaac recalled a time when he was perceived as weak, and eventually, he was expelled from the family. However, they provided him with financial support despite severing familial ties. The complexities of his past relationships and the emotions tied to his expulsion lingered in the recesses of Isaac's mind as he walked along the majestic pathway.
They provided him with 30 euros, the currency of the present, which, in the context of his family's wealth, was a symbolic amount. However, in reality, it was equivalent to 30 million, a stark reminder of the vast economic disparities within his family. This memory, mixed with the magnitude of the financial gesture, added another layer to Isaac's contemplation as he strolled along the magical pathway.
The house Alex left was a luxurious flat with six rooms, nestled within a building that towered across 32 floors. As Alex embarked on his descent, each floor unraveled a different ambiance, a kaleidoscope of lives and stories unfolding within the grand structure. The journey downward symbolized not only the physical descent through the building but also a reflective exploration of the layers of his own history and the diverse tales etched in each floor of the mystical realm.
