Just as Jade's interest in the segment was waning, the host said something that renewed her attention. When Jade heard the female host mention that dreams about teeth were common, she suddenly shook as she remembered her dreams from the night before.
'That's weird. I just had a dream about that last night!' As she thought back on the dream, trying to remember the full series of events, the hosts continued their discussion.
On the TV, Desmond did not seem to believe Holly. "Teeth dreams are common? Personally, I don't remember my dreams, but teeth dreams seems a very niche category."
"No, you'd be surprised," Holly countered, "most people have had teeth dreams before. They're a part of the body that people are most self-conscious about. If you have an issue with skin, hair, or fat, it can repair itself naturally, but teeth are different; once you lose all your baby teeth, that's all you get."
"Hmm… I suppose so." Desmond seemed to have been slightly convinced by Holly. "My incredulity aside, what do teeth dreams mean?"
"Teeth dreams are one of the most direct ways for our subconscious to communicate with us. There aren't as many variations as with water or flying dreams, but I'll give you a few examples.
"If someone chips a tooth, they likely have repressed insecurities, or perhaps they feel stressed by something. Rotting teeth are similar to chipped teeth, but the emotions are much stronger, typically extreme anxiety or fear.
"A weird one that I'm fond of is someone pulling out your teeth. That's your subconscious trying to warn you that the person taking your tooth wants something precious to you…"
Jade thought back to the dream and remembered that Frank had yanked out her tooth. 'Ha! So, Frank wants something precious from me? I live in a rundown apartment building; the only thing of value I own, partly, is the cafe, and it's not like he can just walk away with that!'
Quickly dismissing the host's interpretation of her dream, Jade returned her attention to the TV, looking to see what other bizarre nonsense Holly would come out with.
On the breakfast show, Holly had finished talk about teeth dreams and was looking to Desmond. It seemed they had time for a little more, because Desmond said, "Holly, you mentioned flying dreams earlier. I'm sure I've probably dreamt about that before, so what are the meanings behind those?" 
"Well, Desmond, flying dreams are a lot of fun. For the most part, they mean good things: upcoming success, freedom, joy. However, they can also mean bad things. If you learn to fly in your dream, it means that you are ambitious. A successful takeoff means that your ambitions will come true, but if you struggle to take off, you will meet much adversity.
"Similarly, if you fly freely, it means that you will experience the freedom and joy that you've always desired. However, if an accident befalls you mid-flight, it means something will prevent that freedom or joy. You should be particularly cautious if it's a person who stops your flight…'
With a disinterested look on her face, Jade looked down at the crumbs on her plate and then back up at the TV. 'Mr Frisch is going to prevent my freedom and joy? Hehe… I'd like to see him try.'
With a sigh, Jade realized that she had been watching TV for almost twenty minutes. 'What a waste of time… There's no way I'd believe in a load of baloney like that.'

After struggling through her early years, lacking the support of her family and those she once called friends, Jade is finally back on her feet. Not just on her feet. She's a successful, young woman running her own business, a cute cafe just outside the central business district.
But despite handsome, successful businessmen running in and out of her store every day, she still hasn't found the right man.

"Come with me. I'll buy you a house, and you'll never have to worry about money or work again."
"No, thank you, I enjoy my work."
"Come with me. I'll buy you an island. You'll have a Michelin star chef cook your every meal."
"No, thank you, my own cooking is sufficient."
"Humph! Seeing as you won't come with me, I'll just move in here."
"Eh? What?"
"I bought the land your cafe is built on. I think you'll find that you no longer have a say."
"…"

(Abaddon's POV)

It was during dinner when it happened.

(Alexa): "Abaddon, my son. There's something we want to talk with you."

She said, looking at me seriously as she finished her dinner and the maids took of her plate from the table. Father is also looking at me with a serious face. What did I do wrong?

(Abaddon): "Yes, mother? Father?"

(Donovan): "My son, you know about magic, right?"

(Abaddon): "Yes, I've read about it on the books."

I lied. Well, half lied. The magic of this world is different from mine. Instead of using magical formations, they solely use chants, therefore their magic doesn't have complicated commands, and is more straightforward and used mainly for combat.

However, they do have some magic formation system, albeit very inferior to that of earth.

(Alexa): "We want to teach you magic."

That was something that changed my every-day life drastically. Although I do love my parents, I barely know anything about them. And now, I discovered a lot. My father isn't a descendant of a noble, he was a commoner who achieved a lot in the war against the Monster King and received a noble title.

Not only that, both my parents were adventurers who traveled the whole world and killed many powerful monsters and famous villains. They even have their nicknames, my mother is The Crimson Lightning and my father is The Raging Vulcan.

I also discovered a blunder of mine. I was leaking mana. This body is young, but my magic power is massive, but I didn't think that I was leaking it at all. After all, it was the standard method to hide your mana back in earth.

Rom what my mother and father taught me, I can tell that the detection and concealment of mana in this world are more sophisticated. Therefore, my method is complete garbage here, although my parents say that it is a good method. We can only detect it because we are strong, they say, but a method of concealment that can be detected is garbage.

Well, I never worked on that field, what I used was only to just go by unnoticed in very specific situations. However, this time it will be more troublesome. I also started learning the magic of this word, and now I have a theory why their methods of concealment and detection are so good.

Their magic doesn't rely on systems and formulas, which means that the applications have some limitations, such as summoning and other similar magic being impossible if not for "ancient magic" from a long forgotten empire, that is just formulated magic.

Their magic is more brutish and completely element focused. Everybody has a natural affinity to an element, like in earth, and they have an easier time converting mana into that element. Therefore, their control of mana is precise, almost chirurgical. Because of that, they are much more in touch with mana, and can detect and conceal it with increased efficiency.

Unfortunately, their system doesn't have any means of amplification of magic. For example, back in earth, you would make a fire spear through a formula, and use another one at a very low cost of magic to increase the power of the fire spear, effectively raising the power of the magic without using even a tenth of the mana used to create it.

They don't have this here, magic is used raw, and their average mana pool seems bigger than earth's, reason for why they have such destructive power according to my parent's story about their adventures and opponents.

A few months wen by in quite calm as I learned magic. Although they didn't say it, I could clearly tell from their face s that my growth is abnormally fast. Well, I was after all someone versed in magic back on earth, and even created my own magic, something extremely rare.

However that doesn't seem to be a problem to my parents, they are quite happily teaching me magic. However, I have been neglecting the training of my body for quite a while. Therefore, today, on my fourth birthday, I asked my father for sword lessons.

(Donovan): "Alright son, let's go to the courtyard. I might not be s master swordsman, but I can handle myself quite well."

He says smiling. I still don't know the level of sword fighters of this world, so this will be interesting. I smile to my dad as he takes me to the courtyard. We make a quick visit to the armory of the mansion, taking two wooden swords.

Is this alright? Straight to sword training? Not body training first?

(Abaddon): "Dad, is it alright to just get the sword before training?"

(Donovan): "Don't worry, son, your father's style doesn't rely on physical strength. It's something that a magician can use without interfering with their magic practice."

So that means that I won't be learning actual swordsmanship? I resist a frown, and retort to my father.

(Abaddon): "That, I had a dream."

I'm basing this lie on a book that I read some time ago about a legendary swordsman that had dreams that inspired him to wield the sword and create his own style. I'm using the same excuse. As I expected, my father frowned and asked:

(Donovan): "What kind of dream, my son?"

(Abaddon): "In my dream, I had a sword in my hand, I was taller and I fought someone in armor. After I woke up, I couldn't leave the though of wielding a sword."

I said innocently, looking at my dad with the most sincere eyes that I could. My father looks at me with wide eyes.

(Donovan): "Abaddon, can you show me the moves that you used in the dream?"

I nod, grasping the wooden sword, and do some moves from my original style, connecting them, although I hold back a little so that the moves aren't perfect, but still smoother than it should be for a child. I look at my father, shock evident in his eyes. After a few moments of silence, he said:

(Donovan): "Son, let's call it a day here. I need to talk with your mother."

I nodded, and we walked back home.

(Donovan's POV)

I petted the head of my son and told him to go play. As he walked off, I remembered what I just had seen. My four years old son had Lasting Dreams, and that of a swordsman, no less. Although many of the commoners believe that the books about the hero that learned swordsmanship through his dreams are lies, it indeed happened.

It's a phenomenon called "Lasting Dreams", dreams of memories that the person never had. In my travels, I came across someone that had dreams like that in her infancy, and she was the most talented swordsman that I ever met.

However, because of her, we discovered… that those dreams belong to their previous lives. Reincarnation is something that is a common sense, it was proved as we have a goddess of reincarnation that allows us to return to the world after dying and having our memories wiped out.

However, she is lenient to those with strong wills, and allows some memories to flourish in the form of dreams. Normally, the ones that have those are a minority of martial artists, as they are normally more dedicated than mages, and have stronger willpower, therefore dreams about them are more common.

However, they usually are born to their professions, as the soul is the one that influences the talent, as well parentage, being the reason as for why sometimes the son of two mages doesn't have magic talent.

But my son has magical talent, and a great one at that. For him to have dreams about swordsmanship… I need to talk with my wife. Our son may need a better guide at swordsmanship than me.

The Demon General, Abaddon The Destroyer is defeated by the joint attack of the Heavenly Army and the hearoes of the earth. With that, he passes hsi will to the one that has slain him, and finally passes on.

However, to his surprise, he is reincarnated into a human baby! Moreover, his parents speak a language that he doesn't understand!

Follow our ddemon general as he lives a brand new adventure in a world of magic and swords!

Frankly speaking, Hao Ren felt that it was unwise to let the four ascetics live outdoors. Their way of life was just too different from a normal person's. If they were in The Plane of Dreams, you could have probably pinned it down to their piety. But now that they were in the Surface World, how was Hao Ren suppose to explain their behaviour? Most common folk would struggle to understand why a group of people refused the luxury of a house to live in the wild. Not to mention their need to meditate with subzero winds blowing at them, or the fact that they set bonfires behind someone's house and caught rabbits by the edge of the city...
But after experiencing so much for so long, Hao Ren had pretty much seen it all. Hence, he took most of their odd practices and customs in stride. The old country bumpkin months ago was no longer around and he was glad about it. Besides, there were not many people living in the Southern Suburbs anyway. The only weird part was their lifestyle, so they probably would not cause much of a ruckus. If they wished to stay that way, so be it. That said... people pulling stunts like that are not rare these days. In fact, the sh*t people conjure up nowadays are beyond what mother nature intended.
So, the four new guests had somewhat settled in. They would come back at night to sleep, and leave at dawn to meditate in the vast land behind his house. Their basic needs just consisted of a few buns and sufficient water. Truth be told, if not for the fact that there was no underground water source, Big Beardy and his fellow ascetics would have dug a well behind Hao Ren's house. Their daily routine was regimented, yet simple. Aside from meditating and praying, they would wander the wild, and probably hunt a rabbit or two, or fetch some bird eyes (no idea where they got those). Other than that, they paid no attention to other things, and they seemed to be rather content with life. Perhaps, living like this was their way of paying respect to nature. For two days, Hao Ren hesitated on informing them about the dwindling wild animal population. This was a suburban area after all, and while it was not comparable to the mountains, it was the middle of winter. At the rate they were going, the animal population there would not last till Chinese New Year...
The four ascetics aside, Hao Ren was busy writing and editing his report. Too many things had happened in The Plane of Dreams and in the span of a few short days, the truth he uncovered far exceeded anything he had done in the past few months. Thus, he needed to plan how he would set the record straight. As they left The Plane of Dreams in a hurry, there were many things that they did not manage to investigate. He needed to consult the rest as well before he could decide on how to report the matter to Raven 12345.
The written report was compiled and sent via the MDT. He also planned to pay Raven 12345 a visit later in the afternoon. Just as he sent his report, Wuyue came home from shopping. He suddenly thought of something and called the siren.
"Say, you haven't been singing for a while now," Hao Ren casually mentioned Wuyue's old profession and the latter quickly turtled. "What are you talking about? It's in the middle of winter... Even if I was willing to sing, who would even come out to listen?"
Hao Ren laughed awkwardly and brought up the thing that he wanted to ask her. "Actually, I have something to ask you..."
"What is it?" Wuyue saw Hao Ren's serious face and she sat on the sofa with an earnest look.
"Do you have any way to contact the sirens on Earth? Or, look for any ruins that the sirens left on land? Or, any other thing? As long as it has something to do with your kind, and it can explain your culture or origin."
Wuyue looked at Hao Ren curiously. "Why the sudden interest? Are you an archaeologist now?"
"Actually, there's something I want to clarify." Hao Ren's gaze was distant. He recalled space and the sea of stars he saw when he was in The Plane of Dreams. "You remember when we talked about sirens with the people from The Plane of Dreams and found out that there were no sirens there?"
Wuyue nodded. "Yes, what of it?"
"After that, Raven 12345 reminded me of something—to look to the sky." Hao Ren appeared perplexed. "I thought that after experiencing so much, my worldview would be pretty wide by now. But, after our fight with the First Born, I realised that I was still being shackled by my old perceptions... We only focused on one planet in The Plane of Dreams and forgot that there's a universe out there above our heads!"
Wuyue was not as learned as Hao Ren was when it came to the stars and it took a while before she understood him. "You mean to say... that the sirens came from another planet in The Plane of Dreams?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Hao Ren motioned. "The goddess whom Big Beardy worships is part of a race from space, and all lifeforms on the planet were sown from space. The Ancient Magic Civilisation already had space colonies on their moon, and the founder of the Disciples of Glory also mentioned a group of visitors from space helping to destroy the First Born... We have been too narrow in our thoughts. I should have known better when we entered The Plane of Dreams the first time. There were stars when I looked up."
You could not blame Hao Ren entirely for his narrow worldview. Under normal circumstances, if one stepped into a magical world, and the whole place seemed to be a carbon copy of medieval Europe; everyone was all about theology, and there were no sprouts of scientific innovation or any large scale industries, one would have been unconsciously drawn into the local atmosphere. You could not help but think that you were in a script about a medieval magic kingdom. If you've read such novels, you would not have related any of it to aliens.
The point is, The Plane of Dreams was not normal. It started off as a normal, medieval fantasy world, but things derailed to involve aliens!
"All unusual creatures came from The Plane of Dreams; I strongly believe that." Hao Ren was serious. "And, I swear by Darwin's name that an ecosystem like Earth's could not have caused the evolution of races capable of toppling mountains and splitting oceans. The sirens are definitely not from Earth and I think that they possibly came from one of the planets in The Plane of Dreams..."
"So, you plan to find the origin of the sirens?" Wuyue was interested in what Hao Ren had said. "This seems very interesting, but what purpose does it serve?"
Hao Ren looked at Wuyue in the eye. "Think of it. We initially thought that planet in The Plane of Dreams was the only planet in the universe. Plus, the calamity mentioned in the holy books of the Disciples of Glory said that total annihilation was one of the disasters to befall the planet. Even though it almost wiped out the entire planet, in the grand scale of things, it was nothing more than a localised incident."
"So..."—Wuyue seemed to finally understand Hao Ren at this point—"the sirens did not undergo the calamity of the goddess."
"Based on the calendar, the werewolves and vampires came to Earth after the calamity," Hao Ren theorised. "Let's not bother with how they got here; let's just assume that they figured a way out of desperation. Based on the records, the appearance of the unusual creatures on Earth certainly had to do with the calamity of the goddess. Maybe, they were refugees, or maybe, they used the First Born's unnatural ability to breach the Wall of Reality in order to come to Earth. But now, there's a missing piece: how did the sirens come here? They did not experience the calamity, but why did they appear on Earth at the same time?"
Wuyue started frowning as she caught up to Hao Ren's train of thought.
Hao Ren paused for a bit before continuing, "There are two possibilities: one, they had nothing to do with the calamity and the coming of the unusual creatures, or... two, the sirens' homeworld also experienced similar incidents, which forced them to escape The Plane of Dreams."
Wuyue looked on in disbelief. "Is the second possibility even conceivable? The Ancient Magic Civilisation was destroyed because they were poking their noses into the First Born, causing it to go berserk... However, the sirens' homeworld... No matter what planet it was, certainly, it had nothing to do with the Ancient Magic Kingdom? Could there be such a coincidence?"
This was the part Hao Ren had not figured out. He assumed that all unusual creatures came from The Plane of Dreams, and the reason for their arrival was the calamity. However, now that he knew the calamity was a localised incident, the sirens' appearance on Earth became difficult to explain. All in all, the calamity occurred because someone on the planet had decided to poke a bear. There was no common cause or inevitable cause, so for the same thing to happen at the same time on another planet was rather unlikely. Hence, what drove the sirens to Earth? Did it really have nothing to do with the goddess, but a disasterous collateral damage of galactic proportions instead? Was the calamity just a coincidence? How many races on Earth had the same predicament as the sirens? What were the chances that the unusual creatures Vivian knew were all those who had made the journey?
Wuyue looked at Hao Ren's expression and realised that the man, while carefree most of the time, was dead set on something once he was serious. What he spoke had basis. He was rarely serious, but when he was, he did not mess around. So, she followed up with a question, "From your tone, are you sure the sirens also encountered a calamity that possibly wiped out the entire race? Do you have any leads?"
Hao Ren nodded. "The first pope mentioned in his patrimony that when the First Born awakes, a group of allies from the stars will appear. I'm sure I'm not the ally they're talking about. Because 3,000 years ago, even my ancestors weren't around yet. So, the question is, why didn't the real 'allies' appear? Did something happen to them?"


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

7th February 2017,
A few days ago Ameer and his parents along with his best friend Adi went to get the game capsules. The saleswoman informed that there is only one kind of gaming capsule that is made just with different colours. Ofcource,Ameer knew this already and decided to get a capsule that is all black.
Today however is the day that the game will be released to play. 
'Ding Ding Welcome Mr. Ameer Armaan the game still has 10 minute 23 seconds remaining to be launched' Ameer hears female robotic voice. 
'Ding Would User like to make an account'Asks the emotionless voice.
"Yes"
Unlike what many expected at the time of log in there were no stylish cut scenes that explained the situation of game world.
Even at the day of the release even the country leaders do not know what to expect.
This is exactly what Ameer wants to see. He wants to make the best of his advantage.
'Ding please choose a Name'
In this game to find multiple players with the same name is very common. There are nearly 10 billion people in this world. If each player needed to think of a new name it would be nearly immposible.
"Rich Dreams"Ameer did not bother choosing a different name from his past life. He chose this name to represent his dreams and because his name is Ameer meaning rich and Armaan meaning Dreams.
'Ding there are 8 main combat classes Warrior,Mage,Priest,Warlock,Thief,Monk,Paladin,Ranger.'
In the game world of 'A New Era' all players need to play as humans although a small majority of the players did not care for the matter it still caused dissatisfaction.
"I choose Warrior"Just as Ameer finished his sentence he saw a human warrior stand in front of him. 
'Ding Players can change there original features by...'
''No need" Ameer did not really care to change his appearance. He was already handsome as it was.
'Ding please wait for 9 minutes and 29 seconds till game starts'Although it was interrupted the mechanical voice did not seem to care.
Ameer decided to stay in the capsule while waiting for the timer to end.
'Ding please wait for 1 minute till game starts'
'Ding 10 Seconds seconds till game starts'
'Ding Welcome To A New Era player Rich Dreams.'
With a blinding white light going over his body Ameer gets teleported to a newbie village.
Around Ameer multiple players start to touch themselves unable to believe how real it all felt.
"Ahh I can not take off my clothes in the public whyyyyy?"
"What the hell I can feel my legs mom I can Walk again"
"Wow this is too real I can even feel myself breathing"
Comments like these were fairly common.
Suddenly a Handsome young man walks in front of all the players. Some of the girls even try to take screen shots and start shouting.
Ameer knows that there are a total of 10,000 villages with around 100,000 players per village.
"Hello everyone I am the village head of Newbie Village no.666. If any of the players have any problem or are in need of a quest you could visit me at the village centre. As for the information regarding Newbie Village I would suggest looking through the forums."
After the village head finished speaking his words most players were shocked. They had been expecting a grumpy old grandpa for a village head not a prince charming. 
Ameer knows the story regarding what the newbie villages are and how important they can be. Each village head is a Handsome prince charming. According to the lore these heads are princes whose goal is to prove to thier father's that they are a good fit to be the next king.
If a playey is a part of a newbie village that is under control of a countries military or sects or even guilds they don't belong to they would be discriminated against and harmed in the village making it harder for the players to play the game in the early stages.
It does not help that a player is not allowed to leave for a new village unless they have a certain item or every 20 years(real world).
After learning this a Lot of the players start to leave newbie village no.666 to be with their friends and family.However no one comes to the Newbie Village No.666 due to the number being a sign of bad luck. 
Rich Dreams doesn't really care for the number yet he still choses to change his village to Newbie Village No.98 to be in the same village as his past lifes love Liliana.He also decides to tell his parents to come to this village.

On the floating Island,
"Robert keep an eye on this kid will you."Obviously the one saying this was Alexander.
Who is currently seating on a chair behind a desk in a Room which looks to be like the boss's office.
"Yes Sir. We found a interesting thing about his family while checking his background."Robert replies while putting down a cup of coffee which appeared seemingly out of thin air.
"Oh this sounds interesting. What is it his mother the daughter of a big family who ran away from home for the sake of love."Asks Alexander acting like he already knows the Answer.
"No sir it is the father Mr.Armaan is the biological son of the head of Ashoka family."Replies Robert to his master.
"But his name is Armaan not Ashoka come to think of it everyone only calls him Mr.Armaan not by his first name unless..."Alexander who has already filled out the blanks still gives his little butler a chance to finish.
"Yes Armaan is the first name of Mr.Armaan while he does not have a family name."Robert replies to his dear master with a slight grin.
"Why are you grinning I guessed correctly."Confused asks Alexander.
"Becuase Armaans mother Racheal is also from a big family. She is the part of the Lancaster sect branch in India."
The Lancaster sect ranks in the top 10 in the world. They have branches all across the globe while thier headquarters is in England(Who after conquering Ireland again changed their name to Great Britain).
"Miss Rachael is the daughter of the sect head of the Indian branch."Reveals Robert the mighty butler.
The coffee that Alexander had been drinking suddenly comes flying out as he does not understand whether he should laugh or cry.
The Ashoka Family does not know that Rachael is the daughter of a sect leader of the Lancaster branch in India. The Lancaster branch knows Mr.Armaan is from the Ashoka family but does not put them in their eyes. This causing the poor Armaan family to be stranded from both sides.

The story about a world where all wars are fought using Virtual Technology.

(volumes will be devided by games.Each game lasts for 10 years(30 in-game years due 1:3 time dilation).


(Each Volume will only have 1 lucky individual who can be seen as the MC of the story)

[Magic], World of magic? Or....chaos?

One thing, I'll never [forget].  The world [I] created, the world of my [dreams], my [desire].

[Legends, myths] are human's selfish [desire]. Created in order to satisfy their thirst for greatness, and soon be... [forgotten]. 

Why? What would it be? If you're so called [dreams] are real, would you jump into it if it means getting everything you want like [friends], [love], [magic], [hero], in exchange of your normal life? Would you throw away reality for its sake?

"Hey Yuki! Yuki!!" 

"What?"

"Would you quit dozing off! Here do my homework" 

"But this is yours!"

"what your complaining?! Besides all you ever do is day dreaming.... You could at-least do something to make yourself useful!" He slammed the door

Yuki starred at the ugly looking notebook and sighed "Stupid Brother! Well that must be the last.... After all I've been doing all my siblings homework since this morning" She sighed once again speaking to herself " Good thing I'm a NEET..."

My name's Yuki, I'm a thirteen-year-old NEET that lives in Tokyo, Have two elder sisters and one elder brother.... And the worst existence.... I can only dream of a better life...

Back then, I created a world of my own, a [legend]. I hated the real world, it's a crappy game. It's where you can't have anything you want, specially people because they only think of nothing but their own sake. I locked my heart from anyone, I hear no one, and there are no people besides 
myself. 

But what is there cannot be changed. And so I let my imagination go wild, and before I even realized it I was on a world of my own, the world of my desires. 

The moon and the skies of that lovely night turned bright crimson. Yuki stood suddenly and ran towards the window. And then [it] happened....

On the skies of Tokyo, appears every one million years, a connection towards the central universe the world of Clover. Magic exist in that world, and most of all, the Valley of Clovers exist there as well. You might be asking, "What's so special about a bunch of clovers?" Well to simply put it, it's what decides the fate of all magical existence.

On a landscape full of mist, clovers are the only thing that can be found. Big or small, pale or bright, it's everything about magic. 

The three leaf clover symbolizes faith, hope, and love. Each leaf resembles a deeper meaning, like the leaf of faith and love denotes the two primordial orgins of magic. And the hope is for the life of that particular being. Once the leaves fall, it losses it's ability. For example, if the leaf of hope falls, it dies and disappears. 

But wait, I did say central world right? Does that mean there are more worlds than these first two?

 In fact, there is. 

The world of knowledge, a world of books, papers and even scrolls. A world where all information about everything can be read. 

The Celestial world, consist of the heavens and the stars. 

The world of hell, domain of all evil.

And lastly the world created with only magic, the world of harmony. It's the parallel world of clover created during the ancient wars to regain peace. There are also five sacred palaces that rules over one-fifth of the whole world of harmony. And those on that thrown are called sacred royals.

Now there is one thing we can't ever change no matter which world we are. It's inequality. It's the product of the [Clover Rules], It's what decides the position of one being in society. There are three realms, the common realm, the noble realm, and the sacred realm.

The common realm is where beings with no magical ability are upon, but these beings are different from the creatures of earth. They possess empty orgins with no magical energy. The [fallen] are in this realm also.

The noble realm on the other hand is where creatures with magical ability reside. They are ranked from F to SSS. The higher rank they are, the more powerful and rich they get. So there is no difference between royals and nobles if both possess the same rank, that's just how they prefer being called.

And the highest one of all is the sacred realm. It's where the most powerful lies. The five sacred palaces and its people are ranked here as well.

Have you ever wondered what happened to me next? Well even I don't know. The only thing I knew is that I saw six worlds and spectated millions of stories, [life stories]. Though there is one thing, one story that I would never forget that I would never forget. 

I wish to know why and what am I. A [God] of that world, or maybe it's just a [dream]. You see I don't really know. But I asked myself, which would I be if I existed in that world? Would I be a royal sitting in thrown with a crown in my head, or a commoner trying to fight against fate? What would you be?

I was very happy, if I know one thing I'm in the world of my dreams. But should I really be?

In a fantasy world full of mystery, Yuki who created that world in her sea of consciousness, was suddenly sucked in when the skies suddenly turned red.

There she finds the story of Kishi and Kira, twins that are innocently living a perfect life together as Sacred royals until the tragedies of their lives begin to swallow them whole. 

As they unlock the mysteries of that world, their life is only getting worse. Death follows them everywhere they go, unable to protect those that are dear to them, and the dark forces that desires their mysterious power. 

Will they be able to survive? Or will their guardians and friends be forced to slay them to save the world in order to stop the destruction that once happened a million years ago? 

How will they be able to survive their cruel fate that forcibly kills them no matter how many time someone was sacrificed for them to be saved? And how will Yuki and their guardians be able to help them?

Celina continues with a subtle blush "I don't have any rebellious wishes like Sarah..like getting myself free from this servant position. I always liked serving our Royals. After all they fight and die for our sake and well being. I also don't have any big dreams like Sarah. I sometimes have a very simple dream of just learning new things and trying to be impressive. It seems I subconsciously restricted myself from dreaming big. But after seeing you, I wish I could ever dream of ..of..".
Celina hesitates before speaking but continues with low voice so that only Maya could hear "of...falling for a Prince. Still, I couldn't afford to dream of a Prince falling for me..".
Maya smiles faintly "Why can't you? It can happen as dreams do not cost anything".
Celina chuckles at the sentence and continues " As that never happened even in fables of our country... I wish there would be a rule to not restrict a servant to dream about her Prince Charming.  It has become an unwritten rule hear for the servants to only marry the servants! I..really wish some things change because of you. I wish something would change because of a common girl entered into Royalty. Something impossible has already happened and I am little greedy to expect more. After all..I am standing in front of a commoner who is a Queen today. I wonder what change would happen if you become The Empress one day!".
Maya is completely engrossed in Celina's exciting words.
She couldn't help wondering 'There is something about this girl... She thinks simple which is not simple actually. She talks about dreaming small yet it doesn't seem small'.
Celina smiles looking down "I think I should leave...".
She bows slightly "Forgive me if I bothered you".
Saying so, Celina leaves Maya alone with her blank mind.
'I gave her hope to dream big? No Princesses can replace A Commoner Consort's place? My place?! I would become an Empress?!'.
Maya raises her eyebrows with a smirk "I have to be careful around this girl than Sarah. This girl has the ability to adapt faster to the circumstances. She is already treating me as one of her. She didn't call me with Madam title once! Is she purposely avoided calling me? She already knows what I like to do and what I do not!".
-----
Night.
Sarah serves Maya her dinner silently.
Maya to eats silently so that Sarah would not get more angry. 
But Sarah had other plans!
She asks slowly yet her voice sounded the frustration in her heart "Do you know what the people around the country are gossiping about this order?!".
Maya stops eating and looks at Sarah blankly "....". I thought people won't speak to the person on whom they are angry! She is still angry and talking with me! She is weird!.
Sarah sighs disappointed and states "People are talking that A Commoner doesn't really deserve to be a Queen".
Maya frowns 'I don't deserve?'.
Sarah adds "They are starting to blame Our Emperor for his wrong decision and even doubting His Majesty whether he has lost his right mind. They also say that a commoner girl could never be capable enough for Queen's status. Soon there will be a crowd of common people standing against you to make you step down from your privilege.  The common people will themself remove a commoner consort from her throne only because of your silence now".
Maya starts to understand the real big picture and severe consequences behind Crown Prince's simple order.
'I know how a small mistake of a ruler can impact the people's lives and thoughts. Now I am realising that what extent could it go. How can the people judge whether I am deserving or not?!'.
Sarah adds with a warning note "If you don't do anything now, then you will become an incapable commoner in front of the Whole country! I don't want anyone to think that you are incapable because you are not!".
Celina hears everything from some distance and stands in shock "Will Our Madam leave the country?! I thought she might have changed her mind! But she is still stubborn! ".
Maya is thinking seriously about Sarah's words 'If I decide to leave now, everyone will think that I was thrown out by The Crown Prince... If I get a chance to appear before people I can announce that I am leaving their Crown Prince- ... No.. that could cause severe problems.. What if he gets angry and imprisons me permanently?! What if the people get angry?! I should find a safe way to end everything here before I leave'.
Maya notices Sarah's worry.
'She should be receiving the current situation in the country. That is what making her worry for me'.
Maya holds Sarah's hand and assures "I will do something".
Sarah just nods worriedly.
After having the dinner, Maya is left alone to sleep. 
Maya is still wide awake even after an hour. She is still thinking about both Sarah and Celina's information. 
She is now more concerned about Celina's information as it seemed the closest problem for her.
'Even if I let go of the Madam title, I will be still alive. But by Celina's information about the divorced Consorts,  I should rethink about it. What if this arrogant Prince kills me? Ha! I would not be stupid enough to allow them. But still...Would...He allow this to happen? Will he?'.
Maya closes her eyes finally and only she knows whom she was thinking lastly. But while sleeping she was holding the pendent subconsciously.

I walk out in a fit of anger.

I agree. This is not the 21st century. The emperor's words are the freaking law. Arrange marriages are common. Forced marriages are more common. If my aunt hasn't been there for me, I can't imagine what would have happened to me.

I should have pretended to be a man like her. I wonder how she lived. I ignore the glances and go to the edge of the camp. I sit down on the snow and make circles. I need to think. Marrying Li Jun is unacceptable. I must run, but where?

Someone covers my back with a coat. I look up and find Li Jun staring down at me. He sits beside me quietly. There is an odd silence between us. I have nothing to say. I don't understand why he would even think of marrying me. Falling in love at first sight? Haha! Only fools would believe that.

I want to go back to my time.

***

"I know that you can change this." Yoori drops all formality with the fifth prince since they are alone. "That girl can't marry Li Jun."

Wu Yixing hides his temper to see her like that for another woman. "Why can't she marry Li Jun? She should be glad that she can marry someone like Li Jun."

"I want her to become mine." Yoori's voice is low and grave. She won't let her brother's only daughter marry someone like Li Jun. Besides, Kyuri will go back to her time. It can't be stopped. 

Corner of his lips curls down. "You are protective of this girl. Why?"

She's a family member. Kwon Yoori might not know Kyuri well, but that girl is her niece. They are connected by blood. "I must protect her."

"Why?" He raises his brow.

"I met her family during exile. She ran away from to find me because she likes me." Yoori makes up some story. Real Yu Chen must have met people during his exile.  "I promised that I will protect her."

"I don't like her." He frowns slightly. "That makes me want to crush her."

"She's just a girl." Yoori purses her lips. If something happens to Kyuri, she won't be able to face her family in the afterlife. "I will do anything if you stop this marriage. I will be the one who will marry her."

He leans closer to General Yu. "If you marry her, can that girl survive in the Yu household? You don't remember the things that happened to you after you came back from exile. She is likely to get poisoned on her wedding night."

Yoori gulps. That's true that Kyuri isn't smart enough to survive in the Yu household. She, as a man, can't always protect her. Yu Chen's stepmother will do everything to hurt Kyuri because she hates Yu Chen. Yu Chen's father is not a nice person either. To be honest, she is alive because she is at the border.

"Li Jun has no family. Nobody cares about him. That girl will live longer if she is married to him." He smiles when he sees her falling for his words. "Li Jun will also protect her. You have my words. Think hard."

***

"Li Jun, you said that you fell for me at first sight." I scowl at him. "Then, why did you point a sword at me when you saw me first?"

He says nothing.

"If you like someone, you are not supposed to kill them unless you are a sociopath." 

He stares at me.

"I want to love and marry a normal guy. I have dreams too." I make an ice ball. "I want to go back home."

He tucks away the strand of hair behind my ear. "I want to become your home."

I throw the ice ball at his face. "Stop saying weird things."

He purses his lips and looks down, upset and embarrassed. He looks so cute. Is he really the master of death?

He isn't like Kang Si An. Then, Kang Si An also hugged me tightly and acted like he was in pain because of my supposed death. I don't understand what is going on with these two men with the same soul. 

"Kyuri." My aunt calls me. "Come here. We need to talk."

I give him a look before I go away.

***

"Marry him."

"What the...?" I am shocked. "Are you okay, Aunt? How can I marry someone like him?"

She looks exhausted. "Kyuri, if I marry you, you will be dead before we reach the capital. The Yu family wouldn't accept Yu Chen, who is the son of the former spy from an enemy country, to have a wife. You see, the Yu family nearly got executed because of that woman. If I pick a random woman I met on the battlefield as my wife or concubine, that will bring trouble."

I start pacing in the room. "Aunt, are there no chances of finding time crystals in this period?"

"You don't think that I didn't think of that?" My aunt lets out a deep sigh. "The timekeepers are secretive. If I go and seek them, I will end up dead. I don't know where they are either."

"I can do it." I look at her. "I can walk through dreams. If I enter the world of dreams, I might be able to find any information about the keeper or where they are keeping the time crystals. It will take a bit of time to search, but I can do it."

My aunt looks down at the notebook. Thinking. I try to figure out my next step. I don't want to marry that weirdo. By the way, why I am in this situation? Kang Si An made me his fake contract girlfriend. Li Jun wants to marry me. Li Jun tried to kill me. Kang Si An will try to kill me. This man is bad news. 

"You still have to marry him." She tells me quietly, "If you don't, you will be executed. Marry him and then, we will both try to find the time crystals. Until we find a clue, you have to stay beside him. You have attracted the wrong attention, he can protect you in a way that I can't. I need to keep you away from the Yu family. When you find any clue, you and I will run away together."

But, what will I do till then? I hold my head. I am afraid of being molested every night by that guy.

(Completed) Kwon Kyuri is a time-traveler who ends up witnessing her own death in the future. She has only six months left before she can change her gruesome fate. Now, she must do everything in her power to change the future and live.

Somehow, she ends up as a fake contract girlfriend of her future murderer. 

A love story surviving the time, a thousand years old promises, and mistakes that lead to broken hearts... will she able to find happiness?

With a stubborn gaze, the boy tells her, "You can wander endlessly, but your destination is me."
