Episode 1: The girl in my dream

Clock is ticking, my mind is screaming, pressure is giving me hard time thinking.

Due dates coming, day shifts ending I think, I need an Overtime in this evening.

This routine repeats, I'm already beat for three days straight of working.

I'm going home and I checked my phone, but nothing remembers me maybe I'm already forgotten.

I already take a bus and the drivers driving on a rush.

Exhausted and tired that's what my body's saying, maybe this is the price of overworking.

The bus has stopped, I already dropped, and I think my head is going to pop.

I'm already Home but no body's home maybe they only need to make things done.

I need to rest and I think it's the best to get some sleep and forget the rest.

I hear a voice and some noise.

"Wake up! Luis"

I open my eyes, and there's someone there.

Her hair were long and black. Her eyes are attractive like a stars at night.

Her voice is sweet as diabetes and her skin is as white as snow.

"Who are you?"

"I am one of the guardians of this World, my name is agony"

"Agony, what do you mean this world?"

She smile and stares at me for a while.

"Agony, where am I and what am I doing here?"

Her voice and face suddenly change. Her eyes become pure black and her face slowly turns creepy as hell. Her aura gives my body chills and

She laughs likes she's dying to kill.

"Luis, you're under a state of nightmare which gives you a chance to live or die and I am here to give you a simple information

About this world."

My sweat is dropping as she come near I felt nothing else but fear and as I close my eyes I hear her screams.

"AHHHHHH!"

I open my eyes and I saw how

She's tired of suffering mentally and physically and as I saw her agony I felt that's a reflection of me. I gathered the strength to speak.

"Ahg-Agony, I want to live! So tell me how I can go back to the real world."

She walks near to Luis and smirk. Her face slowly changing as he tilt her head left and right till it becomes beautiful girl that i saw lately.

"Have I told you already that I will only give you basic information about this world Luis so listen carefully? This world is like a game and

The players were all human under the state of extreme nightmare or under comatose. Each player needs to complete every quest given in order to

Survive in real world. Every Quest has a time limit because you are a disciple of me Agony!"

She changed her voice into a sound like comes from the bottom of the well and turns her scary creepy face on.

"Don't worry your only in a state of nightmare you can finish Quest in a very short time so you might get die fast."

I don't know if she's getting sarcastic or what.

"Agony, is there any rules or law in this world?"

She smirk and her face became normal.

"Luis, listen carefully the only rule in this world is to survive at your own freewill. Only you can decide if you want to live miserable or not.

Only your heart can determine extreme happiness and lastly not all the things that you may see is true."

"Agony, I will live on what my heart desires so bless and guide me in this world."

She smiles like roses in the dusk.

"Luis, before I bestow my blessings upon you. Try to focus then swing your right hand horizontally."

Luis tried to swing his right hand horizontally.

"Agony, what's this?"

As I put my hand inside the box, I've been reaching and searching for nothing. I felt I got something and as I pull my hands along with that thing.

"Are going to kill me Agony"

"Not yet Luis, I want you to entertain me more, show me more of your agony more and even more!"

As she fades in the dark, and leaves no mark.

My sweat is dripping and as my fear starts stirring upon the shadows I hear her screaming!

""

Chilling and freezing from the stare she's bringing.

Smiling while her head is tilting while walking towards me then her suddenly speak.

"Did I scare you? Luis"

I can't even move or speak.

Then I suddenly remember all the fearful and painful things in my life.

It hurts my soul down from its core, that feeling that everyone sees me as a sore.

Agony is shown over my face until I felt a warm embrace.

"Luis, agony is a part of our soul it may become a weakness or a strength. When it takeovers all of your soul weakness shall reign but

When you overcome that agony new strength will be regain."

"Upon my Blessings upon my name I hereby gave you the gift of agony to reign thy soul."

Light became stronger and stronger as she fades in the light my body became warmer and as I close my eyes I heard her.

"Be strong Luis pain will fades away as time passes by to thy day and night."
