As Alex found himself losing all hope and succumbing to the darkness that surrounded him, a faint cry for help pierced through the silence. With a newfound glimmer of hope, he mustered the strength to follow the cry and slowly began to perceive his surroundings with greater clarity. The vast expanse of the "Dream World" gradually revealed its secrets to him, as he drew closer to the source of the plea for assistance. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he stumbled upon the place where Linda lay sleeping, her form barely visible in the dim light. A sense of relief and accomplishment washed over Alex as he knelt beside her, ready to lend a helping hand.
As Alex reached out to gently rouse Linda from her slumber, an inexplicable force of mana seemed to resist his every move. Despite his best efforts to press through the dense energy, Alex could feel his hand starting to fray and pull apart under the pressure. But, with an unshakeable determination, he pushed forward until he finally made contact with Linda's body. However, in his haste, he accidentally brushed against her big large soft breast instead of her shoulder. Alex quickly retracted his hand, blushing in embarrassment at his mistake. Undeterred, he tried again, extending his hand towards Linda, but this time the Mana seemed to part before him, allowing him to easily reach her without resistance.
As Alex gently shook her to wake up, a vibrant and dazzling light gradually emerged, enveloping the entire dimension. The radiance transformed into the shape of a door, emanating a mesmerizing glow that left Alex awe-struck. Suddenly, the door emitted a sound that reverberated through the air, jolting her from her slumber.
The door, though appearing old and worn, still exuded an air of newness that was difficult to ignore. Its design was striking, boasting a unique two-sided layout. On one side, intricately carved human warriors stood in fierce battle formation, while on the other side, equally stunning demon warriors faced them in what appeared to be an eternal conflict. Despite the apparent intensity of the scene, it was clear that this door had been around for far longer than the legendary war between the first hero and the first demon king.
Just as Alex was taking in the awe-inspiring sight before him, something completely unexpected occurred. Suddenly, the door began to speak! To his amazement, a mouth and a pair of eyes appeared above the gate knob, as if the door itself had come to life. Alex was taken aback by this bizarre turn of events.
To Alex's surprise, the door emitted a deep chuckle. The door then spoke in a confident tone, declaring "I am the protector of the dream world." As Alex stepped closer, the door's expression changed, and it seemed to take notice of him. "But what is this?" the door questioned, "an awakened person in the dream world?" It was clear that the door was not accustomed to encountering someone conscious in this realm. Suddenly, the door's voice grew stern and forceful, "And not only that, but it is trying to awaken others as well and disturbed them." Alex could sense the door's protectiveness over the dream world and felt a sense of awe at the mysterious entity before him.
In a tense and desperate moment, Alex pleaded with the door to find a way to rescue his wife, who had accidentally found herself trapped in this otherworldly realm. "I'm not trying to disturb anyone else," he explained, "I just want to save her." The door, however, seemed unyielding in its response, insisting that his wife was destined to slumber here for all eternity. Crushed by this verdict, Alex sank to his knees and implored the door to reconsider. After what felt like an eternity, the door relented, its stern expression softening with pity. "There is a way," it finally offered, "but it comes with great risk. If you fail, you may not survive."
