Alex felt conflicted after seeing the rewards offered by the holographic board. While he desperately needed the money to help his mother, the mission seemed challenging and risky. It couldn't be easy, considering the substantial reward at stake, possibly equivalent to several months' worth of his salary."Is this for real?" Alex whispered, his heart pounding.Without hesitation, Alex followed the instructions displayed on the holographic board to start the mission. It seemed impossible not to proceed, given how much he needed the money.After following the instructions, suddenly, Alex felt a strange force hurling his body, and he found himself in a place that clearly wasn't his apartment."Where am I? How did I end up here?" Alex looked confused, realizing he was no longer in his apartment.Alex tried to survey the surroundings, but there was no sign of anyone nearby, leaving him utterly puzzled."Where am I? Why is there only a vast expanse of sand like this?"While Alex was in bewil

Alex's eyes widened when he realized that the one who stabbed him was none other than Mega Rana, the monster who had been helping and guiding him all along."How could the monster that was assisting and guiding me end up stabbing me? I don't understand what has happened," Alex thought, feeling utterly confused."Why? Why did you stab me?" Alex asked, disappointment evident in his eyes as he looked at Mega Rana. He couldn't believe that Mega Rana would betray him like this."You ask why?" Mega Rana smirked and moved closer, squatting to be at eye level with the smaller Alex. "Do you still wonder why? Hahaha, Alex, you're truly foolish!"Alex shook his head, still not comprehending Mega Rana's intentions. He had trusted Mega Rana, but now he was stabbed out of the blue, something he never imagined."Listen, Alex, I only used you," Mega Rana said, smiling wickedly as he looked at the weakened Alex.Coughing, blood spilled from Alex's mouth due to the sword now embedded in his chest. He c

Alex felt confused and surprised to hear his mother's question that was exactly the same as the one in his dream. Although he tried to ignore the strange feeling, it was hard not to think about the possibility that the dream could be real."Alex, are you still there?" Her mother's voice came across the room when she noticed Alex's silence."Yes, Mom, Alex is still here," Alex replied as he stared at his phone.Alex tried to take a deep breath and let it out slowly. It seemed like Alex wanted to tell his mother about his dream."Mom, Alex wants to tell you something," Alex said finally.Although Alex was sure that his mother would not understand what he said later, but was it wrong to tell her that?"What's wrong, Alex, is there a problem?" There was a worried tone from the other side when he heard Alex's words.Of course it was so natural, considering a mother would not not worry if something happened to her child."Don't keep things from me, Alex, I'd be sad if I didn't know everythi

Alex felt even more confused and surprised by what he saw. The two women sitting on the chair were Ayra, her sister, and an adult woman Alex had never seen before.Alex looked at them in disbelief. There was no way this could be true. How could her sister who was lying sick in the hospital be in this place? And who was this adult woman?"You're right, Ayra, even your mother is a fool to believe what you say," said a woman sitting across from Ayra.Alex, who couldn't stand listening to their conversation, decided to come closer and ask Ayra for an explanation.As an older sister, Alex couldn't accept that Ayra was playing her. It wasn't the money that Alex cared about, but how Ayra deceived her and also deceived her mother."What are you talking about, Ayra? How did you get here? Shouldn't you be at the hospital?"Alex sat on the chair next to Ayra, her gaze looking at Ayra with curiosity and need for a clear explanation."Ayra, did you not hear me?"Alex tried to hold Ayra's shoulders

Although Alex had no idea what place he was currently in, his feet stepped past several people who were now busy with their own activities.Actually Alex didn't need to be surprised by the activities they were doing, it was just that Alex was surprised when he saw the shape of the people in front of him."I've never seen anything like this?" muttered Alex again voicing his thoughts.Alex stopped his steps when there was a hut without a pole, the hut seemed to float without any support at all."How is this possible? This is really very strange."An old woman came out of the hut with a smile on her face. Instead of making Alex smile, Alex was scared when he saw the old woman's creepy smile."Young man, can you help me?"Alex realized when he heard the old woman's request, he dared to approach even though his heart was currently beating very fast."Yes, Grandma, is there anything I can help you with?"Alex tried to be friendly, maybe this was the mission that the mysterious man said befo
