From Another World

"Shane... Shane..." A rather familiar voice had said.

"Huh? Where am I?" I said

This place looks unusual. Where am I actually? What is this place? Who was that calling out to me? I look around. I see nothing but darkness. It's as if I'm floating over the void. I can walk, but this feels unreal, I don't know where I am. The voice spoke once again.

"Shane... you need to discover what your hidden talent is as soon as possible."

"H-Huh? Who are you? Where am I?" I said.

"All you have to do is find out your hidden talent within you Shane. Something bad is about to happen."

"What is all this? How do I find out what my hidden talent is?"

"You'll figure that on your own, you need to be ready for there will be something tragic to happen."

"O-Okay, I'll try my best..."

"Well then, farewell Shane, and good luck on your journeys..."

I slowly open my eyes, I blinked several times, my eyes felt heavy. As I finally open my eyes, I was confused about where I was. I look around the place, looks like a room filled with potions and potion-making ingredients, the sounds of the birds chirping in the broad sunlight shining through my body, the chemicals boiling, and people outside talking to one another.

Oh, it was just a dream. I heard a creak coming from the left. The door opened and I saw Diana enter the room with a tray with a towel and a container of water. I look away quickly, but she noticed I was awake. She dropped the tray she was carrying. She rushes towards me.

"Sha-Shane? Shane?! Are you a-awake? H-How do you feel?" She stammered with a worried look.

"I seem a bit dizzy. Where am I? What happened?" I sit up and felt another wave of pain from the dizziness and Diana quickly grabbed my body.

"Calm down Shane, don't move too much. We're at the doctor's place, you've been unconscious for 3 days now."

"What? I was unconscious for 3 days? What happened to me?"

"I don't really kno-" Diana's words were cut off when the door suddenly smashed the wall.

"I know what happened." The clerk yelled, and she was the one who smashed the door.

She quickly approaches me "Shane? Are you alright now?"

"I-I'm okay, but what happened to me?"

"You were put into a spell by the Demon Lord Dazel three days ago, I didn't know what kind of spell it was but Dazel clearly had plotted something if he were to put you unconscious."

"I noticed that her eyes glowed when she was flying away. But, what kind of demon lord is Dazel?"

"She's a real demon lord but she has the mind of a child. She is the youngest of the six dragons and possesses the power of different kinds of poison, and her unique skill, Dazzling. Dazzling creates a light around her blinding her enemies, but she saw potential in you, so she clearly cursed you. I don't know but it seems she wanted to kill you, but she failed."

Diana was shocked by what she had said. "So how come Shane is still alive?"

"I don't know Diana, I don't know."

Should I tell them about the weird dream I had? Maybe not.

"Shane? Are you feeling alright?" The clerk asked me once again.
