Heading down

"The Netherworld's Dreamscape, and a world of dreams, huh..."

Wordlessly, Hao Xuan laid back in the warmth of the moldy blanket. He couldn't help but take another look around the room.

It was where he had spent most of his teen years locked in. Day in and day out, he would stay in there cut off from the outside world without any ambition or aim, just living one day at a time.

It was not a place he wanted to recall but was now forced into coming here.

"Is that it?"

He asked after a moment of silence.

Gavril was dazed for a second hearing that.

"I just told you about another plane of existence, a world where all your dreams and nightmares live, and you don't want to know anything about it?" Gavril asked, somewhat stupefied. This was not the reaction he was expecting.

Hao Xuan shook his head with a blank expression.
