While these events unfolded in the factory and Rey's house, where he was deeply asleep following intense head pain, another scene was taking place.
In an ordinary apartment, a man slept, his brow furrowed and a pained expression on his face.
Minutes later, he awoke abruptly, gasping for air as if from a terrifying nightmare.
He leapt out of bed, rushed to the bathroom mirror, and after washing his face, he saw his reflection. It was Evan, with eyes that bore the mark of sleeplessness and dark circles.
"Why is this happening to me, why God, why? It's been 15 days since I've been having the same dream. Maybe I should see a doctor for a cure.
But how will I pay the fee? I don't have it. The monthly money sent by the government is nearly finished, and it's about five days until more comes into my account, so I just have to endure it," he said, looking into the mirror. After a sigh, he reached his bed, quickly lay down, and fell asleep, only to start dreaming the bad dream again, but this time he didn't wake up until morning.
He woke up at 6:30 AM, completed all his household chores, locked his front door, and left for school. When he reached the school's main entrance, he found James waiting among a crowd of students for him and Rey.
He quickly joined James, and they started talking while waiting for Rey. But Rey didn't show up even after 10 minutes, so they assumed he had already gone in without them or was late. Therefore, they entered the school without him and headed to their classroom.
Meanwhile, in Rey's room, he was sleeping deeply, perhaps enjoying a pleasant dream, when suddenly he opened his eyes, looked around his room, and sighed deeply."
"Thank God it was just a dream," Rey said with a smile, yet he discovered he had strange memories of some people that he couldn't comprehend being in his mind.
"Boy, looks like you've woken from your slumber, but it seems you've already assimilated 10% of my memories from my past life on Earth," Aiden stated, materializing like a ghost before him.
"Huh, ahhhhhhh!" Rey exclaimed, tumbling off his bed with a loud thud upon seeing Aiden's ghostly appearance.
"Why the hell are you here now?" Rey demanded, scooting back while still seated on the floor.
"Didn't you grasp why I'm doing this? I believe I need to spell it out for you simply," Aiden retorted with a hint of irritation in his voice.
"I don't want to understand anything, so please leave," Rey responded, his mood turning to anger.
"Boy why don't you understand that I need your help to find my comrades and help me get to the ### tree oh look like restriction again, but you have to help me, or you don't want to get hurt right." Aiden said with a grin.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
"I don't want to help you, and I know you can't harm me," Rey said with a grim smile, believing he had the upper hand.
"Why do you think I can't harm you, huh? And why would I need to harm you when you're going to help me, whether you want to or not?" Aiden replied, his face expressionless.
"Oh, I see, but take this," Rey said as he swiftly grabbed the slightly open spherical object and hurled it out the window before slamming it shut.
He was about to sigh in relief when he noticed that Aiden was still in his room, now in a smaller form, resembling a spirit with the lower half of his body like that of a genie.
"Hahahahahahahaha, what a good throw, but still, nothing works," Aiden said just as a voice came from outside. The object Rey had thrown struck a guy on the head, and he was cursing the thrower with words I need not repeat.
"Why are you still here?" Rey asked with a confused look, unable to comprehend the situation. He thought the guy was stuck to the object, but why hadn't he disappeared?
"I know what you're trying to figure out, so listen carefully. To understand this, we need to go back in time, like a flashback."
A few hours ago, Rey lost consciousness due to pain, while Aiden remained awake. Aware that Rey would not believe him, and unable to transfer his memories, Aiden initiated a bonding process to ensure they could not be separated. Using his powers, he opened a peculiar object and extracted a crystal-clear orb, shaped like a marble and emitting a peculiar light. Despite considering the consequences, Aiden pressed the orb against the boy's forehead, where it dissolved into his body and vanished.
A synthetic voice echoed in the boy's mind, announcing, <"Eternal Omniverse System coming online, attempting to connect with the soul. Error, Error... Error. Since the host world is not part of the connected realms, half of the system's functions are offline and will only activate once your world joins the system."> Yet, the boy remained unconscious, unable to hear it.

"Why is this happening to me" he screeched with his all might. _________________________________________________________
