Chapter 1:

Whispers in the Darkness

The Shadow of Regrets


The world becomes even scarier, like a twisted maze of fears. The dream world pulls them further in, revealing more secrets and making them question everything. After the events of the surgery, I felt the ground beneath me shaking, the mood suddenly changed to this ominous, and scary place. The setting has completely changed into my childhood house. It was like i was experiencing all my life's trauma that i can't escape out of. Was it because I was so traumatized by those events it's making me rethink my life choices. Or was it something even deeper, darker, and more sinister that is going on behind this world. Inside, the air feels different, like a mix of good and bad memories. They can almost hear their parents' voices from the past. It's like a strange journey through their childhood. I walks through the rooms. Everything looks way too familiar, but also kind of strange. The room where they used to sit and listen to stories is there, but it feels different now. The parents presence is like a ghost in the room.

The dream world wants me to think about my past. The house shows me moments of growing up, and it's like a puzzle of who they are and what they want. In this dream house, I have to face what I was told to be and what they want to be. It's a journey through memories.


While exploring the house I was greeted with a corridor. I was anxious and ominous but has nothing to lose. After walking around I came across a shattered mirror. Looking through it felt like i was looking through the sky. Each shattered piece shows snippets of laughter, fleeting friendships, and instances of self-doubt. It showed old memories that was forgotten. Memories that i have put away. While watching these snippets of my own life. I felt more irritable, unmotivated, or empty. 

I felt uneasy, these memories doesn't match up of who I am underneath. I question myself while staring at this mirror. What is my purpose in this world when i'm just going to die? What am I like to others? Why is it that i look so happy? WHY AM I HAPPY AFTER BEING BORN TO KILL? WHO AM I?

I broke down in tears wondering why I was born, until an apparition formed. A figure of his parents. Afraid I was, I decided to run as far as I can away from the apparition. I started screaming about my suffering of becoming a surgeon for my parents. I started yelling, screaming at everything in my way. After finding the front door of the house I found myself walking through a mist of smoke. The air is thick and the atmosphere was moist. 

As if summoned by fate itself, I stumbled upon a mysterious girl, she looks as fragile as the flowers around her, with sadness in her eyes. It's like fate brought them together in this strange world. The girl stares at me in like I'm an apparition with tears in her eyes.

I screamed, "Hey, what is your name?". 

The girl spoke softly, "i'm lily."
