My life...there's nothing to be proud about it. I'm a 30-year old virgin that never had a girlfriend since birth and living alone in a cheap apartment after my parents disowned me. I'm working right now as a factory worker to earn some money to continue my studies, but it's still apparently not enough.

*ringing sound*

Someone's calling, I wonder who calls this late at night? I thought as I hurriedly got out of my room to answer the telephone.

"Hello? This is Leo's residence." I said calmly

"This is your manager, Alvin. I just wanted to tell you that you won't need to come tomorrow." My manager said in a deep voice.

I instantly felt grim after I heard that. It's probably because of what happened the other day.

"Wait, please give me another chance! I beg you!" I begged as I tears started to flow down from my eyes

"Sorry Leo, I can't give you another chance, you should try to find another job" My manager replied followed by a sigh that could be heard through the phone, then he finally ended the call.

I put down the handset slowly, still crying and hands feeling weak.

*thud*

I suddenly punched the wall to release my stress that piled up through the years. I felt even more lonely, and was feeling depressed.

I'm such a pathetic person, if only I was emotionally strong before, if only I've grab the opportunities to be successful before My mind was starting to feel hazy as I loath myself My life was going downhill since the start, yet I still have the guts to make it worse. I hate myself, I f****** hate myself! My negative thoughts continued running rampant as I walk back to my room.

Suddenly, I saw a shooting star outside my window, and I jokingly wished I wish I could restart my life, I'm going to be better than I had been, I'm gonna do things right this time, please let me go back as a child.

The shooting star suddenly shined more for a second before vanishing into the air. It felt weird for me seeing a shooting star like that, but I shrugged it off and opened my room. I felt sleepy right after I entered so I quickly laid down to my bed, falling asleep shortly right after.

*yawn*

I woke up with my eyes feeling heavy. I looked at the clock to see what time is it, and I saw that it was still 4am in the morning. I felt like cherishing the time that I have so I got up from my bed, wore my jacket and gone out to buy some breakfast in the nearby 11-7.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

The outside is pretty cold even while wearing jacket and there was rarely people outside, most likely also going to buy something for breakfast. I got inside the store and bought some breakfast meal and soy drink, then gone outside to walk back home. As I was getting near my house, the area far away surrounding my street seems to be getting darker. The street lights seems to be getting dimmer, and I felt hesitant for a bit, but I continued to walk forward. Then the street from far away got darker and darker until it was pitch black, which gave me goosebumps.

I think I should walk away for now. I thought as I slowly walk backwards, feeling creeped out of the scene in front of me.

The darkness then slowly looms forward, and the feeling of fear of an overwhelming presence was apparent, just like how a prey fear for the predator that he can never imagine to defeat, walking closer into him.

I then blinked, and before I even opened my eyes, I fell unconcious.

----------------------------------------

I opened my eyes slowly as I felt my head to be heavy, like I was sleeping for a few days. I saw a stone ceiling and felt confused as to why is it there. I slowly stood up and looked around my surrounding, where I saw nothing but a room made out of stone, a wooden door and torches in every side of it.

Why is everything here looks big? And the ceiling is also too high. I felt confused as the room felt like a giant was residing in it.

I walked towards one of the torches as I plan to grab one before heading out of the room. I tried to get one of the torches and as I barely got it, I suddenly noticed something surprising.

"What the?!" I shouted as I looked at my right hand, which looks like a children's hand. Why is my hand like this? I continued in my mind, then looked at my body wearing children-sized version of my tracksuit.

Did my wish seriously became true?! But this isn't how it's supposed to be. I guess I'll get out of this room first before deciding if I should be thankful for it. My mind was still feeling puzzled about the whole situation.

I finally decided to go out with the torch in my hand and opened the door. What awaited me was a long dark hall, which reminded me of the looming darkness I encountered before getting transported here, but I still moved on as I don't have any other options right now.

I walked forward for like an hour or two and I was feeling hungry. The light in my torch has died a while ago and I'm starting to feel that this is an endless hallway but then I bumped into something hard in front of me. I tried to feel what's in front of me and knocked onto it, and it felt like some sort of metal and it doesn't seem like a wall. As I was examining the thing in front of me, a shining violet butterfly suddenly appeared and flew into the bottom left corner in front of me, which revealed that what's in front of me was another door, but quite exquisite, and a button could be seen right below the butterfly.

The button looks pretty plain. As I pushed the button, I suddenly felt an overwhelming presence similar to before.

"What's this thing?!" I questioned myself aloud as the door suddenly grew some weird black and white vines and engulfed my left arm quickly.

"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I felt a searing pain I've never felt before, then the violet butterfly flew towards my arm and a violent spark happened. It doesn't seem to hit me but the pain was frequently appearing and disappearing, then after a few minutes it finally vanished. The pain also vanished and my arm still seems fine but I felt very weak after that. The butterfly was nowhere to be seen and the area was filled with darkness again. I lay down in the floor, which felt pretty cold and my consciousness seems to be fading out again.
