Chapter 7 - BOY TRAPPED IN DREAM WORLDSeason 2 – Part 1: The Shadow That Follows

Elvin walks forward, unaware that a dark shadow has begun to follow him.

Wherever he goes, the shadow moves with him—silent, invisible, and patient.

After some time, Elvin finds a small house and starts living there. He tries to settle into a normal life, but a strange emptiness follows him everywhere, as if something within him is missing.

Elsewhere

In a dark chamber filled with ancient symbols and glowing runes, a powerful magician speaks in a cold voice.

"So… have you trapped Elvin in the dream world?"

His disciple bows respectfully and replies,

"Yes, Master. I have trapped him in the dream world."

The disciple hesitates for a moment and then asks,

"Master, which world should we send him to next?"

The magician closes his eyes, thinking deeply.

"Send him to the world of magic," he says. "But let a few days pass first."

Elvin's Life

The next morning, Elvin goes out for a walk.

After walking some distance, he suddenly stops.

His eyes widen.

He sees a girl who looks exactly like Rina.

His heart starts pounding. Without thinking, he walks straight toward her and says,

"My love… Rina, where were you? I thought you had died."

The girl looks at him angrily.

"You rude boy! I am not Rina. My name is Diya."

Elvin freezes.

"Oh… sorry," he says softly and walks away, his heart breaking once again.

Searching for Work

After that, Elvin goes out in search of work.

He moves from place to place, asking for a job, but no one helps him.

Finally, he finds work at a construction site.

The site owner, Alex, asks him,

"What is your name?"

"Elvin," he replies.

Alex speaks honestly,

"I can pay you only 121 dollars per month."

Elvin nods calmly.

"That's fine. I will come to work from tomorrow morning."

From the next day, Elvin starts working at Alex's site.

He works very hard, never complaining.

Days pass.

The Magicians Move Again

On the other side, the magician speaks to his disciple,

"You will send Elvin to the magical world next month."

Then he asks,

"Have you assigned someone to follow him?"

"Yes, Master. I have assigned Charlie," the disciple replies.

Suddenly, another message arrives.

"Master, the Great Magician has summoned all of us today."

The magician nods.

"Yes. Let's go."

The Council of Magicians

They arrive at the palace of the King of the Magicians.

The King speaks firmly,

"The reason for today's meeting is clear. We must trap the people of the human world inside the dream world."

He then turns to one magician.

"Wizard Iras, did you trap that boy in the dream world?"

Wizard Iras bows slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Through my disciple Magnus, I trapped him between the Gorva Kingdom and the real world."

The King nods slowly.

"I see… I see."

He assigns tasks to everyone, and the meeting comes to an end.

Elvin's Loneliness

That night, Elvin lies awake, missing Rina deeply.

"Oh my love, Rina…" he whispers.

"You were only a part of my dreams. You were never real."

With pain heavy in his heart, he finally falls asleep.

The next morning, he leaves for work as usual.

The Order Is Given

Elsewhere, Wizard Iras speaks to Magnus.

"Magnus, tell your spy to trap Elvin in the magical world."

Magnus uses magic to contact Charlie.

"Charlie," he commands, "you must trap Elvin in the magical world by tonight."

"Yes," Charlie replies.

Magnus turns back to Wizard Iras.

"Boss, I have told him."

Wizard Iras smiles faintly.

"Good."

The Fall

At the construction site, Elvin is working on the fourth floor.

Suddenly, the air around him feels strange.

Something unseen pushes him.

Elvin loses his balance and falls.

Everything turns dark.

A New World

When Elvin regains consciousness, he sees an old man sitting in front of him.

"Get up, son," the old man says calmly.

Elvin slowly opens his eyes.

"Who are you?"

"Where am I?"

The old man smiles gently.

"Son, you have come to Stella, the magical world."

Elvin is shocked.

"What?"

"Yes," the old man continues,

"You are now in the magical world."

Elvin holds his head in pain.

"What is happening to me?" he thinks.

"Whenever I become unconscious, something terrible happens."

He looks at the old man and asks,

"Uncle, what is your name?"

The old man smiles.

"My name is Warmeo. I am the owner of this house."

Elvin looks at him silently, unaware that a new and far more dangerous journey has just begun.
