Kai enjoyed his day, which was full of laughter and also annoyance as Seraphina remained stuck in his head.
The day turned into a night, and Kai got a room in the castle where he had his non-private life since Seraphina was there.
Kai remained annoyed since he stayed and spent the night with Seraphina. She was always locked in—in Kai's body since he was unable to eject her.
The night fell, forcing Kai to gently close his eyes for the first time in the new world. Sleepiness caught him off guard, and he was dead asleep after all the walks around the city.
Suddenly, some eerie music played in Kai's mind in a dream form, and in that moment, Seraphina exited Kai's body in real life.
She took her original form and disappeared in the dark, thin air without Kai noticing.
Dream attack: he started dreaming, seeing something that wasn't familiar in his eyes.

In this dream, Kai saw a screen playing in front of his eyes. A question erupted from his mind, and he asked himself, "What's this? Where am I?"
Kai saw himself falling down, without seeing where he came from and where he was going.
Seraphina's voice in a fairy form echoed in his brain…
'Seraphina?' He silently tried to talk to her, but he failed as she showed herself in front of him.
"Welcome to the Dream game…" Seraphina said as she flapped her small wings, looking at the falling Kai.
"What's up with you, Welcome??" Kai asked but realized that she didn't even stop talking even if he interrupted her.
".... a place where you can gain strength as you complete your daily night missions. If you fail a mission, you'll be badly punished, and if you die, you'll get punished too. And before I forget, you only have 9 lives to live in this game. If you die nine times, you will die in real life too!" Seraphina warned about the game.
Kai gasped, shivers running down his spine as he thought of how he will leave the world again if he dies. His heart pounded fast, and his eyes widened, leaving a trail of fear on his face.
Seraphina continued, emotionless, "Before I go far, if you complete a mission, you'll get a certain treasure, which will be your reward."
"And there's this one, which you might love. Before I explode, would you like to go back to your world?"
Kai fastly nodded, and Seraphina continued, "I knew you would agree, so… the easy way to go back is by earning a high-level guarded treasure. Which is the treasure of life."
"Treasure of life?" Kai's face was puzzled as the words flashily swooped in front of his ears, but he barely heard them since he was falling down.
"Yes, it will allow you to go back to your world. I'll briefly explain it to you after, but now, it's time to start your missions."
Kai shortly landed in a dim blue-lit place where he saw Seraphina flapping her small wings, ready to help Kai get started.
"We will start by the rules of the game, which are very easy. You will be seeing them every time when you want because that screen is in your eyes; it's always with you each and every time."
Kai stood still, astonishment filled his heart as he tried to understand what was happening. But Seraphina kept going as she started to spit out the rules.
Rule number 1: follow the instructions that you got on your screen to help you win because the place you are going to is not crammed; it's full of obstacles that will slow you down.
Rule number 2: Do whatever you were told; don't criticize any instruction you were given, because you will face consequences. Remember rule number 1for it.
Rule number 3: make sure you attend your given missions on time since you don't know what punishment you will get. What if it will be death? Would you love it?.
Kai shook his head in denial as he kept his body sturdy and his hands folded, staring at Seraphina, who was busy giving rules.
"These are the first basic rules that you must follow; they are easy to follow and understand. I'm sure you got them locked in your head."
Kai remained silent if he wasn't there, only terror haunting his body as he felt some terrifying things in the hall.
"So now, your screen will be able to show you everything you need. The time is running out, so check out your mission and attend to it." Seraphina said as she slowly grinned with her little small lips curling. "

{Mission: run around the walls and find a brightly lit-up door. When you reach it, you will know what to do. The map is not here, so all you have to do is head to the north.
(TIME FRAME: 1 HR)....
The screen turned black and started typing on its own.
YOUR TIME STARTS…
NOW
<59:59>
Kai gasped as he started to notice the time ticking. His eyes widened, and he started panting without even running. His face started to be shiny with sweat as his heart pounded really fast with fear.
"Wh, Wha, What's this? Seraphina, the time is moving!!!" Kai screamed to Seraphina.
"Your mission has already started," she replied, with no smile on her small face, only seriousness.
"What?!"
"You were given the mission, weren't you?"
"Yes, I saw it!"
"Then it's time to do the mission. Remember, if you want to die by punishment, then fail to complete your mission on time." Seraphina warned the sweating Kai.
*Haa, Haaa* He continued panting as he looked around him for a clue since he didn't know the northern side.
<59:03>
"Which one is the northern side? I'm lost here," he asked again, his face screaming for help in silence. All the nice handsome faces disappeared, leaving only the terrified one.
"You don't even know how to operate your screen?! Look at the top right corner and tap it with your eyes. Imagine tapping it, and then you will see the features of the screen."
Kai followed what he was told and then found a map that showed him the north, east, south, and west.
He quickly looked at the northern side and found an exit.
