Chapter 1 - Present Day -

On a chilly day of year 3020; the modern world took up place into a new phase people will surely feel convenient living in.

The people had more freedom on what they wanted to do with their living; of course bad people cannot be found missing as they still inhabit this beautiful place quietly. Advanced technology that the people of the past envisioned, were already taking up the 50th phase of their evolution.

The early 1970's culture was declared to be revived so we could honor the great inventions of the early human intelligence. Looking at people today; they have a comfortable life as they choose from a carriage to a flying shuttle for transportation.

There were sky buildings  and the roads multiplied as inventors even constructed a sky line. It helps the flying and floating vehicles; also serves as giving way to the sky buildings while people go to and fro their respective destinations.

That was....of course only the grounds that occupied main England; however, at the outskirts of England there was a place that held the enchanting atmosphere people could only read from children's fairy tale books.

Pure mystery upholds this protected area of England and people could only think of bad spirits lingering around, that's why many had feared going through that town.

It is very famous because of a beautiful mansion that you have to pass through in order to get into the next city; resting over the steep hills it looked like a castle from every children's fantasies.

Others said that the mansion seemed to lure anybody with it's tantalizing beauty as the whole structure; with the glistening golden intricate, it gave out a very dreamy aura.

However, stories said that people who tried to go there never  came back; no one knows if those people even reached the mansion grounds. Tourists even wrote an article about  when they visited; the villagers would welcome them warmly and offers a great service of food and entertainment. But none about the mysterious mansion had been said; they even lure you out of the topic without you realizing it.

So after the passing years of those threatening rumors, no one dared to go near it even fifty meters from the village's road entrance.

Only the officials of the government were seen going in and out of the hills that came back safely to their homes. Magic would be a very funny joke if you tell anyone that that was the reason of the enchanting happenings within that place.

Seasons had passed and the people became less aware of the rumors and curiosity quietened down. While there's a road that leads you there in just a minute of a usual day travel; just few citizens would dare to use it. So the government opened the sky line extensions around the feared place so people won't have to go through it just to reach the other cities beyond.

The city buzzed as the seven o'clock bell came off; people from the comfort of their homes took off as they started to begin their way to their respective jobs. The roads became a little lively while the vehicles sped through the highways. Children who wore uniforms trudged across the pedestrian lanes as the traffic officers helped them on their way to the other side. While senior citizens laughed at them they slowly enjoyed walking on their own side of the street; free of cars and other people who're scurrying to arrive early at work or school.
