big leaf from behind them and used it to shield Dame from the rain. Shrugging, he glanced at Majik. “I already knew his weakness but I don’t want to kill him because he’s my friend…” V sighed and stared back at the sky blankly.

“V, I’m sorry for making you relive all of those…” Majik apologized, “I didn’t mean to--”

“But Sereda is one weird world.” V continued, ignoring Majik. “My rank went up and there, I tasted… success. The benefits of being able to kill someone who will wait for you to trust them and then they stab you in the back. But… I am much faster at stabbing, apparently.” V’s eyes suddenly flashed just as lightning illuminated the dark sky and thunder rumbled over them.

“I became thirsty of power and rank that all I ever dreamed about was becoming the Most Wanted in Sereda. I went over to my parents and killed them. I had many friends and I killed them the moment I knew what their weaknesses were. I reached my goal. I became the Most Wanted.”

V looked down and sadness was written all over his face. “And that’s where I also tasted the bitterness of sadness. I have everything that I could ever want but a lot of people wanted to see me dead and other people are too scared of me thinking that I might kill them.”

“So… As far as I know, people from Sereda are unable to get out of their world… How did you get out?” Majik asked.

V nodded. “Other beings can come and go in our world but we Seredans cannot. There was this… traveler. He told me all of the travels he had and all the travels he has planned. He said of the worlds from far away places, places which are more beautiful, more dangerous, and more things unknown to all of us. That… Those things he had said awoke something in me. Curiosity. A taste of something new. Adventure. And freedom from always looking over my shoulder and always looking out for people who are trying to kill me just to get their ranks up.” A small smile appeared from V’s face as he shook the leaf, emptying the water puddling in the middle of it. “I told him that and my inability to leave my world and this is what he gave me,” V gestured to his wristwatch. He removed it and gave it to Majik.

“A portal clock…” Majik examined the watch closely. “It’s old but the quality is top notch.”

“I wanted to go to other worlds, forget my past, forget living for the sole purpose of earning ranks and killing people. I want a new start. A new blank slate where I can start my new life. A life filled with friends, filled with adventure and laughter and… hopefully, love.” V blushed a bit and cleared his throat. “So… Uh… yeah, I’m going to Reali Ty with Dame.”

“The place where no portal clock can access. A place of beginnings.” Majik added. “Where you will find more unknown worlds.”

“Oh, Dame! You’re awake now! I’m sorry, Majik and I finished off the marshmallows.” V suddenly chirped upon seeing Dame slowly getting up. “Oh, the weather’s lightening up, goodie!” he added as he shook the leaf he was using to shelter her and threw it behind him.

“V, how come I didn’t know about your past?” Dame asked sadly as she sat beside him.

“You… heard all of that?” V blinked in surprise but suddenly laughed. “Oh, Dame, what are you talking about? We just met for a day. It’s natural you don’t know that about me.”

Dame growled and fisted a hand and quelled the urge to punch his grinning face. “But what you said to me in town--”

A heavy downpour of rain suddenly came crashing down on them. V quickly pushed Dame under the shelter of thick branches from the trees behind them.

“If I would have known there was shelter behind us, I wouldn’t have shared getting soaked with you,” Majik complained as he and a grinning V scooted back. The three of them are silent for a while. The only sound that could be heard is the series of soft patters of rain on the grounds.

“Oh, Majik, that reminds me. Won’t you introduce that girl who ate all those people’s souls?” Dame asked sweetly.

“Oh, right, I remembered her! Who was she?” V added excitedly.

“Okay, okay, let me get something straight first. Dame, right?” Majik nodded at her. “I know that you are angry at what we did before, but you will know the truth and you’ll understand.”

Majik got his necklace out and opened the pendant, letting out the woman that was on stage before.

“V, Dame, this is Crone. My girlfriend.” Majik introduced as the girl smiled at them and bowed a little.

“Hellooooo~ Hey, there, Crone,” V tried to give her a handshake when V’s hand suddenly phased through hers. “Whoops! I thought you were a demon at first. Didn’t know you were a ghost.”

Crone just smiled at that.

“Crone’s just a normal person before but she died because of an illness. I did all I can to keep her on living but… None of my efforts were enough.” Majik slumped and covered his hands over his face dejectedly.

Dame couldn’t believe at the conclusion she came up with as she watched wide eyed at Majik and Crone. She read about books… when she was still mortal. Books about some magic being more powerful but she hadn’t seen it exactly with her own eyes from people from her world. Until today…

“In order to make Crone’s spirit to stay here in the living plane, you are feeding her the souls of other people, then,” V stated which only confirmed her suspicions.

“But isn’t it bothering both your consciousness to just kill innocent people just to satisfy that selfish act?” Dame angrily spouted.

“That’s what I wanted to clear up, Dame.” Majik calmly said, “Crone and I are not what you think we are. I swear to you that we haven’t killed any innocents. The people in the tent? Those were not the real villagers of that village. They are all wanted criminals who imprisoned the real villagers in the cell and they claimed the village as their own. In fact, I was the one who contacted the Interdimensional Police.”

“You were the one who contacted the police? Seriously, man?” V shouted at Majik. The two then began with a heated debate.

Dame bit her lip and glanced guiltily at Crone who was just silently looking at her with a small smile. “C-Crone, I’m so sorry for judging the two of you like that so hastily. I thought that… I’m sorry…”

Crone’s small smile turned wider and gave a small nod of her head that Dame felt a bit better now. Crone suddenly saw the portal clock on the rock where Majik had placed it and pointed at it for Dame to see.

“Hmm? V’s portal clock? Why?” Dame asked but got it from unknown from the still bickering men. Crone pointed at some buttons and Dame followed suit then suddenly Crone went back to the locket along with the sudden appearance of a portal right where they were sitting. The three of them fell into it screaming.

“Dame! What the hell are you doing?” V shouted as he snatched the clock away from her.

“I-I don’t know! Crone was the one who made me do it!” Dame shouted back.

“I hope we land on something soft,” Majik sighed and crossed his arms calmly, waiting for their descent to end.

“It was Crone’s doing! I swear!” Dame still screamed.

 

Water 29, 204

Apple Road of Fantasia, Dimension Z599

The moment Dame opened her eyes, a road sign greeted her. ‘Fantasia 3kg’. Dame blinked once. Twice. But the sign still said ‘Fantasia 3kg’, not kilometers, not inches, not miles but kilograms.

She braced herself on her hands and knees and looked for V and Majik. “V! Majik!”

She heard someone wheezed.

She glanced down and saw that she was on all fours over V. She winced and crawled off of V. “Sorry.”

“We’re near Fantasia then.” Majik murmured beside her. He was already awake and was also staring up at the sign. “Did Crone taught you what buttons to push?”

Dame nodded and slowly stood up and stared as Majik did the same and went over to the still unconscious V, then kicked him in his side again and again until V woke up. Majik quickly moved away.

“Argh…” V groaned and rubbed his side. “My side hurts like crazy. Did I fall countless of times hitting something?”

Dame laughed and Majik just rolled his eyes, then looked at his pendant. “I think Crone is trying to tell me that I go with you, guys.” He turned to face them. “Can I? You two are heading in Reali Ty, right? Well, good news. We’re only three kilograms away from there.”

“You’re coming with us? Well, welcome aboard! We’re very welcoming to noobs, right, Dame?” V stated with glee and nudged Dame with his shoulder.

“Well, yeah.” Dame answered.

“So what are we waiting for?! We’re only three kilo--… Kilograms? Why is it in kilograms?” V cocked his head to the side in confusion.

“Don’t ask. Let’s just go, I’m getting hungry.” Majik said smiling as he walked on.

“Oh yeah! Those marshmallows aren’t enough for me. I want real food!” V shouted and skipped ahead.

“You two didn’t give me some so I’m pretty hungry as well! Let’s go!” Dame hurried towards them.

“Oh and V? I’m sorry for kicking at your side to wake you up…” Majik suddenly murmured.

“YOU WHAT??!!!”

 

Wind 3, 3040

Fantasia, Dimension Z599

Fantasia. A world known as ‘door to the new world’. There comes a certain time when the heaven will open up and becomes a doorway to beings who wanted a new life in Reali Ty. Fantasia, itself, is a very progressive town because of the native people living there exchanging wares and shelter with some other people living there while they’re waiting for the right time.

V glanced at his watch. “Our timing arriving here in Town’s Square couldn’t be any more perfect! A few more minutes and the heavens will open up!”

They’ve already arrived in Fantasia a week ago for this moment. All thanks to Crone who led them here.

“Can you explain to me how will we be able to get to Reali Ty? I never got to ask.” Dame asked.

The three of them huddled over in the middle of Town’s Square. Town’s Square is just a big and wide grassy field in the middle of town which serves as the Transport Grounds that deliver people from Fantasia to Reali Ty and vice versa.

“Well,” V started. “When the moment comes for the Transfer to occur, the clouds will slowly vanish from the sky and you will clearly see another world from there. Our world is atop their world and their world is atop ours, so we’re basically upside down there and they to us.” V pointed to the sky. “We can also see the people waiting to transfer here in Fantasia. In a minute or two, the gravitational pull will begin to change, then we slowly feel the gravity of Reali Ty pulling us up, then we’ll fall down on it’s ground. The same happens with Reali Ty.”

Dame processed the information a bit when the natives caught her eye and she gasped. “What about the people living here in Fantasia? Do they get to change places with the ones living there in Reali Ty too?”

To their surprise, it was Majik who answered. “People born in Fantasia could not travel between worlds. Just like V’s world. If you don’t cheat the world’s system, you have no way out. V cheated when he used the watch to escape his home world.”

“Thank you for the information, you guys,” Dame said with gratitude.

A couple more of happy conversations then the bell of the tower near Town’s Square suddenly rang. The people around them burst into joyful howls and hoots.

“Dame! This is it! It’s starting!” V jumped up and pulled Dame up.

“Calm down, V.” Majik said,
