"Okay... what the heck?"I said while sitting up. I am inside a very old-looking temple-like structure made out of stone. There are a lot of pillars like in those Greek and Roman temples, some of them broken with pieces of it lying around. There are also a lot of carvings of words and pictures in the walls that must have portrayed a story in the past but is now useless as most of them are already reduce to a pile of rubble. When I look up, I can see the sky through the many holes in the ceiling. I'm impressed that this building is still standing even though it is in a state of absolute disrepair.

Wait... no. This is not the time to be distracted. Let's assess the situation here. I'm alone in an abandoned temple without any knowledge of my whereabouts. How did I get here?  I'm pretty sure that I was sleeping in my apartment room in my bed... Oh wait I remember. I had dreamed about a voice...

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

I'm in a dark space floating around. Where am I? Probably in my dreamscape. How do I know it is a dream? Because I know I went to sleep awhile ago and now I'm floating around which is quite impossible to do in the real world but not in the dreamworld.

 Still, this is quite a surreal yet dull dream if I do say so myself. The sensation of floating and leaning in a certain direction to move is somewhat peculiar but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. But seriously I've been waiting for a while now and nothing's happening. I'm so bored! What happened to all my interesting and fun dreams!? Goddamn it!

One of my few and rarely experienced surreal dreams and all I got is a dark environment with only the feeling of flotation as entertainment... I swear I'm gonna explode in a flurry of cursing to relieve my boredom if this continues.

"Hello Krey" Ah finally! An escape for my boredom! Although its odd that all I got is a female voice for my dream, and one who knows my name at that... Well whatever. Now that I think about it, this girl's voice is pleasant to hear. It's not alluring or charming but gives of a soothing impression, like a cool breeze in a hot day.

"Ah yes. Who are you if I may ask?" Always be polite if you talk to someone you meet for the first time. Simple manners. Also I'm really bored and I'd hate it if she gets irked by a bad first impression and leaves right away. Although it is my dream I am not always in control and it is more fascinating this way.

"I am Frelinia the Goddess of Life. I am here to request your help for an issue of utmost importance."

...Pfftt.. ahahahahaahahaha!!! Oh wow *mentally wipes tear*. This is incredibly funny. A girl with a case of chuunibyou (eight grade syndrome)! I thought I would be leading the conversation but I'll let the "Goddess of Life" pfft.. do the rest.

"Pfftt..*cough* I'm sorry 'bout that. What is your request Lady Frelinia? As long as it is within my capabilities I will see it done" Whew! Almost lost my act there. I figured that it will better to go with the flow so that things will get interesting. Since she said that she's a "goddess" I am acting respectfully with a servile tone and attitude.

"Thank you young Krey. But before you hear of my request you must first learn the history of my world. You see, I am not from this world but in another one entirely, far bigger and dangerous than these one. Long ago.." Hhmmm... Another world huh? Considering this element I fully expect that the request will be me going to another world and fighting the demon lord or something like in those fantasy stories. Oh well! Its pretty interesting but the history lesson and request details are too damn long. Meh, I'll just skip it.

"I will accept your request milady Frelinia. Rest assured that I will complete it no matter how long or how dangerous it is!" Well its just a dream anyway so better end it with a flashy line!

"Thank you. You are a brave and kind soul. Please be careful when you get there and just follow my instructions and you should be safe for awhile. Good Luck young Krey.

"Hmm.. Going along with what Frelinia said I am probably in another world but... its better to not take it seriously and just check the surrounding area. Maybe I'll find some clues about my location" I said while standing up.

"Hm?" My line of sight drifted over to two objects at my right. One is a fancy ring. Its color is black with gold-colored patterns that looks like runes in a fantasy story. In the middle is a pale gem. At first glance it looks like a sapphire but if looked you at it very closely, it ripples occasionally and every time it does that its color will change like that of a rainbow.

The second one is an a large egg. Its similar to an ostrich's egg but three sizes bigger. What's really unusual about it is that its color is a glossy black. I would have liken it to a black pearl if not for its slight oblate shape.

I walked closer to those two objects and reached out to touch them until I noticed... My hands are smaller than I remember them to be.

"......?!" I also take note of the fact that I am naked but most importantly... Why in heaven's name did my wiener got smaller. Not only that but every part of my body is significantly smaller than I remember it to be.

Slightly panicking, I looked for a mirror or anything that I can use to look at my appearance. "There!" Luckily, I found a clear puddle, probably built up because of the depression of the floor as well as collected rainwater. I looked at the pond and there I saw...

"I...I-I turned into a child?!?!" A boy at five years of age with black hair, big brown eyes, small but firm frame and a very cute and surprised face that would be mistaken for a girl's face. It.. it looks just like me when I was five years old in the photos...

Isn't this one of the things Frelinia mentioned that will happen to me when I accepted her request..? Oh man.. I'm actually in another world!
