She opened her eyes as she lay on the straw bed with the cheap cloth cover, and her grandfather called out to her to wake up. For a moment, Eva was disoriented, not knowing where she was or how she had gotten there. Memories of the magic forest and the old wizard flooded back, and she sat up with a jerk.

"Grandfather, I had the same dream again," she said, still a little dazed. Her grandfather looked at her anxiously. "What dream, my dear?" he asked.

Eva took a deep breath trying to gather her thoughts. "It was the dream about the magic forest and the old wizard. He told me that I was chosen to uncover the secrets of the forest and other worlds."

Her grandfather's eyes widened in surprise. "That's is quite a dream, Eva. Do you think it's true?"

Eva nodded firmly. "Yes, Grandfather. I feel it in my heart. I know that there is something out there waiting for me, something beyond the mundane life I have here."

Her grandfather's expression softened. "My dear. remember, dreams are not always reality. Sometimes they are simply wishes and desires that we hold deep inside."

Eva knew that her grandfather meant well, but she could not shake the feeling that there was more to her dream than just wishful thinking.

As she got dressed and headed out to start her day, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and anticipation. Something big was on the horizon, she could feel it with every fiber of her being.

And she was ready to go for it, whatever it might be. Eva spent the day tending to the animals on the farm and doing the chores around the small village where she lived. But her thoughts kept wandering back to the dream and the old wizard's words. She could not shake the feeling that there was more to her life than this simple existence.

As the day drew to a close, Eva found herself back in her room, lying on the straw bed and staring up at the thatched roof. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on her breathing, hoping to clear her mind and find some clarity.

She breathed in and out, thinking deeply about her life, about what she wanted and what she desired. She explored her feelings and then she felt something, She was sinking deep not into sleep but something more. Something different it was almost like she was exploring a new place. As she sank further into this place she felt incredibly calm and serene, Almost like she was home and more safe then ever.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

But then after sinking for almost forever she noticed something that glowed and shimmered, a container the size of a barrel, it contained something that was tightly dammed up, something that had no purpose and felt ethereal.

The container was full of this, um what is this? As she thought that her feeling she sprung open her eyes as if something suddenly woke her. Eva sat up and looked around, surprised to see that it was already dark outside. She must have dozed off for a few hours, lost in her thoughts and the strange feeling she had experienced. But wow these couple hours have really filled me with energy I feel more rested then ever.

Then she heard a sound

DING

System Notification

open the "Notification menu" by saying

"open"

The voice came from inside her head, it sounded like no one and everyone old and young almost like it was undefined but still recognizable, She was logically freaked out by this but still Eva felt calm and collected for some reason, Normally something like this Would FREAK HER THE FUCK OUT! but still she felt calm and collected so she decided to simply gather more info.

So Eva spoke the Sentance.

"Open notification menu"

Eva suddenly felt how the word tapped into a context and changed something in the world.

And suddenly a blue screen appeared IN front of her.

Exit Notification Menu User : Eva (Race : Human) Name Rank LVL 3/hours Skill Unlocked/Upgraded New skill unlocked Meditation INF 1 2minutes True nature discovered Inherent Ability unlocked Greind N/A N/A

She had never heard or seen like this before, but she couldn't help feeling curious about what it could be and started to process this entire ordeal. After a minute of thinking Eva realized she had become smarter and more efficient in her thinking she took a few deep breaths and tried to calm her racing thoughts. She remembered the strange feeling she had experienced, and the new skills and nature that had been unlocked. She decided to try out the system interface and see what it had to offer. As to focus on something.
