Narrator: Back in high school, Vermond tried to readjust to his old life. He reconnected with friends, caught up on missed classes, and resumed his hobbies. But memories of his time as a god in the dream world lingered, making him feel like something was missing.

Narrator: One late night, as Vermond walked home, he felt a presence behind him. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw a shadowy figure following him. He quickened his pace, but the figure kept up.

Vermond (thinking): "Who is this? Why are they following me?"

Narrator: Vermond's steps grew faster and faster until he suddenly stopped and laughed, slipping into the evil persona he once used in his dream world.

Vermond (villainous tone): "Do you really think you can follow me unnoticed? Show yourself!"

Narrator: The figure in the black jacket remained silent. Vermond's tone became more sinister.

Vermond: "I don't have time for games. Reveal yourself!"

Narrator: Slowly, the person removed the covering from their face, revealing it to be Vermond's sister, Sarah.

Vermond: "Sarah? What are you doing here?"

Sarah: "I should be asking you the same thing. You've been acting weird lately."

Vermond: "Why were you following me?"

Sarah: "Because I'm worried about you. You've been different since you woke up."

Narrator: Vermond's initial surprise turned into a laugh, his villainous demeanor fading.

Vermond: "You caught me off guard. Want to watch a movie?"

Sarah: "A movie? After all that? Sure, why not."

Narrator: Vermond and Sarah walked home together, talking about their day. Despite the strange encounter, Vermond felt a sense of normalcy returning.

Sarah: "So, what movie are you in the mood for?"

Vermond: "Something light. How about a comedy?"

Sarah: "Sounds good to me."

Narrator: They settled on the couch, popcorn in hand, and started the movie. As the film played, Vermond found himself laughing genuinely for the first time since waking up from his coma.

Vermond (thinking): "Maybe this is what I've been missing. Simple moments like this."

Narrator: After the movie, they talked about Vermond's readjustment to school and life. Sarah listened, offering support and encouragement.

Sarah: "It's going to take time, you know. Adjusting back to everything."

Vermond: "I know. It's just... sometimes I feel like I'm still in that dream."

Sarah: "You went through a lot. It's natural to feel that way. Just remember, you have people here who care about you."

Narrator: Vermond smiled, appreciating his sister's words. He knew the road ahead would be challenging, but he also knew he wasn't alone.

Narrator: The next day at school, Vermond felt more at ease. He reconnected with old friends, who welcomed him back warmly. His teachers were understanding, helping him catch up on missed work.

Friend 1: "Hey, Vermond! Good to see you back!"

Vermond: "Thanks, guys. It's good to be back."

Narrator: Vermond also resumed his hobbies, finding solace in familiar activities. He joined the school’s gaming club, where he could share his passion with others who understood.

Gaming Club Leader: "Welcome back, Vermond. Ready to dive into some games?"

Vermond: "Absolutely. Let's do this."

Narrator: Despite these positive steps, memories of his time as a god in the dream world continued to linger. They felt real, almost like another life.

Vermond (thinking): "Can I really just move on? Or is there something more to this?"

Narrator: That night, as Vermond lay in bed, he thought about his journey. He realized that while his dream world was vivid and powerful, his real life was just as important.

Vermond (thinking): "Maybe the dream was a way to help me find my purpose here."

Vermond: "How are you this powerful?"

Vermond's Father: "It's a long story. Let's have a drink and talk."

Narrator: They sat down, and Vermond's father began to explain the truth about Vermond's past, the false memories, and his life as a god in the dream world.

Vermond's Father: "You liked your peaceful life here, but would you want to return to the dream world?"

Vermond: "I... I don't know. It's peaceful here, but I miss my first crew—Kiara, Jax, Krisha, and Kiah."

Vermond's Father: "In that world, your godly powers will remain, but it will be dangerous. There will be someone on par with your power."

Narrator: Vermond hesitated, thinking of his past adventures and friends. He finally asked about the powerful being in the other world.

Vermond: "Who is this person?"

Narrator: The unknown figure laughed and revealed himself as the Evil God who created darkness.

Evil God: "Your life as a god, your adventures, were all part of my plan."

Vermond: "Why me?"

Evil God: "You were just lucky. Now, I need you to entertain me more."

Narrator: Vermond understood the true nature of his past experiences. The Evil God had orchestrated everything, choosing Vermond to amuse himself.

Vermond: "What's your real purpose?"

Evil God: "To see you entertain me. Will you return to a world where your power is matched?"

Narrator: Vermond considered the offer, recalling his adventures and the friends he left behind.

Vermond: "I agree. Send me to this powerful world where my godly power is on par with someone else."

Evil God: "Excellent. Let the adventure begin."

Narrator: Vermond found himself in a new world, his godly powers intact but not fully awakened. He sensed the presence of a powerful being, his equal in this realm. As he explored his surroundings, he felt a familiar excitement, a sense of purpose rekindled.

Vermond (thinking): "This world is dangerous, but I've faced worse. I'll find my crew, and we'll conquer this world together."

Narrator: With determination in his heart and a glint of excitement in his eyes, Vermond set off on his new journey. He knew the challenges ahead would be great, but he was ready. His adventure was just beginning.

Narrator: Vermond woke up beside a trash bin, the stench filling his nostrils. He groaned as he tried to stand, only to be confronted by a group of boys who began to beat him up. Vermond chuckled through the pain.

Vermond: "What a starting point."

Narrator: When the boys finished, Vermond stood up again, brushing off the dirt. He looked around and saw a futuristic city. A massive holographic display showed an arena with powerful players battling. Vermond watched in awe, realizing the strength of these individuals.

Vermond (thinking): "I need to stay low. These people are more powerful than I imagined."

Narrator: Vermond tested his power, imagining a small dagger. It materialized in his hand, confirming his abilities were back but not fully restored. He decided to act like a poor kid, blending in with the city's lower class.

Narrator: As Vermond explored the city, he marveled at its complexity. The streets were bustling with people, all exuding a formidable power. Security drones patrolled the skies, making it risky for Vermond to use his abilities openly.

Vermond (thinking): "I need to be cautious. Drawing attention could be dangerous."

Narrator: Hunger gnawed at his stomach, and Vermond ducked into an alley. He discreetly spawned some food, making sure no one saw him, and ate quickly.

Vermond (thinking): "I have to keep a low profile for now."

Narrator: He continued exploring, absorbing the city's layout and its inhabitants' routines. He observed their behaviors, their strengths, and their weaknesses. He knew he had to understand this world before making any moves.

Vermond (thinking): "I need allies, but I have to be careful about whom I trust."

Narrator: Vermond found a spot near the arena where he could watch the fights without attracting attention. The battles were intense, showcasing a range of powers and abilities. Vermond analyzed each fight, learning as much as he could.

Vermond (thinking): "These people are incredibly powerful. I need to find a way to regain my full strength."

Narrator: As he watched, he noticed a girl who fought with precision and intelligence, standing out from the rest. She reminded him of his past companions, sparking a sense of familiarity and hope.

Vermond (thinking): "Maybe she could be an ally. But I need to approach carefully."

Narrator: Vermond decided to follow her, keeping his distance. He needed to learn more about her and find the right moment to introduce himself.

Narrator: Vermond trailed the girl through the city, watching as she interacted with others and handled herself with confidence. He admired her skill and determination.

Vermond (thinking): "She seems trustworthy. But I can't be too sure yet."

Narrator: He waited until she was alone before making his move. Vermond approached her cautiously, ready to explain his situation.

Vermond: "Excuse me. I couldn't help but notice your skills in the arena. I was wondering if you might be willing to help someone in need."

Narrator: The girl turned, her eyes sharp and assessing.

Girl: "Who are you? And why should I help you?"

Vermond: "My name is Vermond. I've just arrived here and... let's just say I have a lot to learn about this place. I believe we could help each other."

Narrator: She studied him for a moment before nodding slightly.

Girl: "Alright, Vermond. I'll hear you out. But don't think I trust you yet."

Vermond: "Fair enough. Thank you."

Narrator: As they walked together, Vermond felt a sense of purpose rekindle within him. His adventure in this new world had truly begun.
