Madness engulfs one, disconnecting from all. Granting the one’s wish, it is uncontrolled, lurking in the beyond, bringing its dissonance, for the one’s wish wanted. Bringing it, all will shatter like glass, as if everything was nothing but just a bad dream…

Chapter 1 Part 7

However, the darkness engulfed the kingdom once again, with everything seeming to have simply stopped, swallowed by the madness again. Though the boy didn't feel like he was going to shatter into pieces or anything this time, the same voice from the earlier day appeared and then simply informed the boy, "Your wish shall be granted tomorrow. There is no taking back, nor are there any second wishes. This is absolute, as your wish was my greed."

The boy wanted to talk, however he couldn't, as everything was simply beyond gone at the moment. The boy felt himself sinking, deeper and deeper, to what he couldn't imagine what it was, as even his imagination was drowned. His thought and memories all drowned together, and he couldn't even remember what he wished for, or if he even had wished, as the wish was completely subconscious, or was just there without anything really. He then fell directionless, never ceasing to fall, as his existence as being him himself, endlessly drowned further outside, until he hit a ending point, in which he felt himself shatter into several pieces again.

It felt like something within him had been lost the moment he felt himself shatter like glass. Then, he felt like he was finally able to see something, and regained his mobility. The moment he opened his eyes, he was back in the world he was used to seeing. He was sweating and was grasping for air when he woke up, trying to grab the air out in the open as if he was drowning. However he realized that he was perfectly fine, and fortunately there was no one around him to see him acting odd, as people would've severely questioned him, or would've taken him to the mental hospital.

He questioned, 'What is with that weird dream I keep seeing? What did I wish for?' The boy got up sluggishly, and then walked onto the walk way, and then the walk way lit up, as it took the boy to the center of the park. The boy ignored his "Dreams" despite it being severely concerning, as the boy was already mad enough, it all felt null after experiencing it. The park was tremendously huge. It had walkways called Ernst's Paths that were powered by magical forces, and it took people who used it instantaneously to the center. The kingdom had a medieval feel to it; however, the kingdom had several technologies that made it possible to travel within the kingdom, as it would be nearly impossible to get anywhere without it.

These inventions are said to have originated from a famous magician and scientist. The kingdom was surrounded with mountains that reached up into the atmosphere, engulfing its inhabitants in a protective barrier.. Invasions were rare, as traveling past the Grand Mountain Ranges of Tindalos were thought to be impossible. The park in the center of the kingdom had its own civilians, who were known to be the Natives of the world. The boy was teleported to the center of the park, and then saw the Grand Sanatorium. The Grand Sanatorium wasn't exactly a building, it was an entire land mass that stood high in the center of the park and its forest.

The land mass was floating from the ground, with a stairway leading to it. The boy walked closer to the Sanatorium. The moment he stepped his legs onto the stairs he felt his body feel lighter. His mind that was full of black, everything completely drenched with nothing but madness, became crystal clear. It was the polar opposite of how he felt in his "Dream" from the earlier night.
