1 1.How to travel to a new world

Do you believe in paranormal phenomena? Okay believe it or not it's been happening to me ever since I was a child. Somethings like things disappearing or a fire coming out of nowhere, but of course, no one believed me. I truly wish if I can leave this damn world and just go to a new world with magic, monsters, and stuff like this just like the main character of an isekai fantasy novel. No, I don't want to travel to just one world, I want to discover different worlds, so I can go on different types of adventures.

Ok now enough for dreams, I'm going to sleep.

I found a weird man looking at me sitting on some weird chair like a king on his throne Sitting with both confidence and pride and said with a smile on his face "Hey Grey, you have to be proud that the king came into your dream in person. The scent of your strong desire has drawn me in."

I found myself confused and told him sarcastically "Okay that's a really weird dream, and who are you again? A king?! Sorry, darling but not because your mama bought this sword from the internet that you are a real king, I mean your costume is cool, but first, you are not scary. Second, this is a dream, why would you come here without asking me first?"

The so-called king seemed mad and his smile disappeared, but he managed to keep his composure and said "I tell you that I'm a king and you are insulting me? You should be careful with your words kid; you are lucky that I'm kind and I will forgive your ignorance. After all, it's your parents' fault that they didn't raise you well." I interrupted him quickly "First you came to my dream without my permission and now you are insulting my parents? Do you want me to kick your ass? I will break this stupid throne on your head I mean it's my dream aft.." before I finish speaking he snapped his fingers and suddenly the atmosphere changed and I fell on my knees feeling the air getting sucked out of my lung. I could feel something I'm not used to, but I can recognize it very well. The feeling of nearing death.

3 years ago, when I had a car accident while passing the road with my best friend Gerrard, I remember the feeling I had then when I felt that my life had come to end, but I survived because of Gerrard. From what I heard Gerrard didn't even have a scratch on him, but I could have died if Gerrard didn't react fast and call an ambulance and even then, it was a miracle, and as if that isn't strange enough the car that did this was nowhere to be found as if it just disappeared. Until now I don't know what happened or how did I survive even the car accident and now I will die in my dream?! I regret insulting this man. No, this monster.

Imagine surviving by a miracle from a deadly car accident, then die in your dream that's a joke but a bad one.

I feel like it has been forever since I could breathe, I have been struggling to breathe, but it was of no use, it was when I realized it's the end and I can do nothing about it when I could finally feel the air returning to my lungs again, and I took a very deep breath. Then, he started talking again "Good." His normal attitude returned as well as his atmosphere "You survived from my killing intention for 3 seconds, to be honest, I'm surprised. Even the strongest wizards will kill themselves when they are exposed to this pressure, you should be proud of yourself."

I couldn't talk, the atmosphere is back to normal now, but this hell lasted only for 3 seconds? Are you kidding me? How is it possible? I felt like it was for 1000 years.

Now after this he said, "Now we can talk gray."

I hesitated for 10 seconds then I finally said "Don't misunderstand things, I wasn't afraid. I just remembered something that I don't like to remember now."

"Of course, you weren't."

I could feel the insulation in his words but I decided to ignore it "Anyway I know you can't kill me for 2 reasons first, this is my dream and when someone dies in a dream he just wakes up, second if you are a real king you won't come here without a reason, which means that you need me for something and can't kill me."

I finally got my confidence back when I remembered that is just a dream "Now can you tell me what you want from me Mr. king."

His smile turned to a smirk "Looks like you are not that stupid after all." I felt eager to punch him in the face, but I resisted knowing that this monster won't hesitate to use his killing intention or whatever its name. Although it won't kill me, I want to never go through it again. "I'm here to make a deal" he continued "I'll make your dream real and in exchange, you will make mine real."

"I don't understand."

He said, "I will give the key to break the bond between the worlds go see different worlds as you want, so you can bring me something so I can get my kingdom back."

"What exactly do you mean?"

"I don't have much time left, so I'll just explain later." After he noticed my hesitation, he continued "But it doesn't matter right you will go to another world and save a princess from cursed magic."

He walked in my direction and suddenly a sword appeared in his hand, I moved backward immediately without taking but the eye of his sword.

"Don't worry, kid. I won't hurt you." After a moment of hesitation, I stopped moving and stood still in my place. Then he came nearer and handed me the sword that was in his hand "Choose two of your friends to go with you. They don't have to be strong what matters is whether you can trust them or not."

"We will meet again Grey." The man said, while his body began to shatter slowly into very small pieces and disappearing starting from his legs "As for now, answer me, Grey. Do you have an older brother?"

"My brother died when I was 10. How do you know about him?"

He kept silent while his body kept disappearing "Answer my question." I ordered but now his head began disappearing too "Wait." I said while trying to catch him with my hand, but it was too late already
