Chapter 5: Infinite Myriad Realms System
— Deep into the night, within Jin’s dreamscape —
A massive cosmic door stood erect in front of Jin. It contained within its sharp edges mysteries far beyond human understanding, exhibiting an attractive force that pulled everyone and everything into its orbit.
In this world Jin called the Dreamscape, there was only this gate-like cosmic door and an endless empty sea. And each and every night, he would find himself in this world, staring up at the door, unable to speak and unable to pull his gaze away from its transcendental edges.
Then he would open his eyes, finding himself back in the same shitty room he had been living in for years.
"Why always that dream...?" Jin sighed, rolling out of bed.
Forcing a smile on his face, he prepared himself for the day.
The crappy, worn-out toothbrush was used together with some green sludge-water. A shower was taken, also with some lovely green sludge-water. And then came breakfast, which included, but was not limited to, green sludge-water and green sludge-paste.
All in all, a very nutritious and hygienic morning!
Now it was time to carry over that same awesomeness to the workforce, as a long day of seeing how long it took to die was about to commence!
However, just then, a blue light flickered from a neighbor’s window.
Curious, Jin glanced over.
The moment he saw what was playing on the neighbor’s blue holographic entertainment screen, his face drained of color. He stumbled backward, the words and images searing themselves into his mind, looping over and over.
