Unfortunately theres no escape doors he's literally stuck on the Void, The Voice finally spoke an English word and it says "Unity of Creation needed an sacrifice, those concepts are truly wrong, Unity of Creation doesn't need an sacrifice. You need to find a True Unity of Creation. Then the question that you had will be answer." The Voice finally finish it speaks and The Voice gone Jonathan immediately wake up and sit on the edge of the bed, he wonder about event that occurred him on his mind or a dream and the event were beyond human understanding, he tries to thinks of what's the meaning of The Voice said. "What does it mean about The True Unity of Creation? And why those concept are false/fake? And what is The Unity of Creation?"

Jonathan thought on his mind trying to figure it out or try to find some hint about that. But failed as Jonathan knowledge is not enough for that information, he must need to learn more about The Mystery of Creation so he need to continue his journey with Mary Carter.

Jonathan sighs and begin to stood up, exited his room and walk toward the dining room, as he arrive on dining room there's a lot of various customers such as an adventurer, dealer, Knight, and more. And there's Mary Carter sitting alone while her food are in front of her, Mary Carter notice Jonathan and wave at him while gesture him to sit next to her.

Jonathan then sit next to her after that he'd order some breakfast meal to the waiter of the inn, the waiter nodded and immediately goes to a kitchen to tell to a chef for his meal. Jonathan wait for his meal while Mary Carter start eating her breakfast the breakfast was simple it has a fresh bread, a soup, some beef, and a drink. After several minutes the waiter come back with his breakfast and put it in front of him and leave. Jonathan begin to ate his meal calmly but still thinking about that event on his dream or maybe is not a dream, those mystery event may be reveal later on but still remain unknown to Jonathan, as Jonathan kept thinking he'd ate were slow and just stare straight to the wall.

Mary Carter glance at Jonathan and question to herself on her mind "why'd Jonathan ate his meal so slow? Like he was thinking something that he cannot understand." 12 minutes later Mary Carter finish her breakfast but Jonathan is still eating his meal slowly, the curiosity of Mary Carter begin to build inside of her and her mind, finally she's ask to him.

"Hey Jonathan, are you alright? Is there's something on your mind?" Mary Carter worried on her face with a curiosity at the same time. "Yeah i'm alright, i was just thinking something bizarre that happens last night." Jonathan reply to her, he knew that Mary Carter won't believe his problem if he told to her.

Mary's brow furrowed, she had a lot of question swirling in her mind about what's the problem of Jonathan had, Mary Carter pout slightly and then smile slightly. "Can you explain what your problem is? And what kind of something bizarre on last night? Maybe i could help you to solve your problem, we're partner after all. We should believe each other story or an word, that's a part of being partner you know?" Mary giggle slightly and stare at him keeping her smile on her face.

Jonathan was confused about whether he should tell about the incident or not, he sigh and finally he told everything that happend last night. "Fine, i'll tell you what happend, when i'm sleeping i was dreaming about woken up on middle of void, with literally nothing. And then the same voice speaks again on my ears! And it goes louder throughout the void even my footstep cannot be heard, i was about crazy but then The Voice speaks on English word. It says 'Unity of Creation needed an sacrifice, those concepts are truly wrong, Unity of Creation doesn't need an sacrifice. You need to find a True Unity of Creation. Then the question that you had will be answer.' I'd honestly doesn't understand meaning of that, well i think you might have an answer for that. And one more thing, that dream... i think it wasn't a dream. But i'm not sure about it, because of that i keep thinking try to figure it out myself."

Mary shock slightly, her eyes widen with confuse on her face. "W-well i'm not sure that i have an answer for that, consider that word might be leading into The Truth of Creation beneath the lies on The Creation. And even all the knowledge that i have it's impossible to know about it." She take a deep breath and then continue to speak. "And you said it wasn't a dream? That make me more confused, there's no information about anyone that standing on middle of void, it was beyond extraordinary event that happend or occur to you. You'd might be the Chosen One for revealing the truth of The Creation to everyone."

Jonathan shake his head, he think that he's no way to be the Chosen One, he's just want to know about the Truth of it and doesn't care about The Chosen One. "Nah, it's no way that i'm the Chosen one i just curious about The Creation and it's truth." Jonathan sigh and look at his food, continue ate his meal.

Mary Carter pout even more but she knew that Jonathan might the Chosen One, because The Voice only interacted to him.

Mary Carter stood up and told him that she's gonna prepare something, Jonathan nodded and continuing eat his meal, Mary Carter then walks away toward her room, as she arrive at her room she begin to open her backpack and grab a books. After that she sit down on edge of the bed and read the books.

Meanwhile Jonathan finally finish his breakfast, Jonathan look around then stand up leaving the inn for him to wonder around the kingdom, the kingdom name are Astrealist Kingdom which is one of the massive kingdom in the world which has massive armies and the Kingdom were very rich and peaceful. Jonathan keep wondering around the town, eats some food on and keep walking which to find nothing excited, as hours and another hours past, the sky are almost dark which mean it's about to night time. Jonathan looks up to the sky and shock as realize he's wondering around for like almost 12 hours, Jonathan quickly goes to the inn and go to his room he felt exhausted as he begin to lay down on the bed. His eyes are tired and slowly goes down, after while he's eyes close as he begin to sleep peacefully. The air were chill and the night are peaceful, Jonathan sleeps normally and nothing happend.

But there's something off underneath the kingdom, a sense of destruction and distortion underneath the Astrealist Kingdom, perhaps tomorrow there's gonna be a worse event happens on this kingdom.

Who knows.....
