Benny could sense Bryan's inner turmoil. He then nuzzled against the latter's face as he spoke mentally, 'Bryan, do you believe in fate?'
Bryan snapped out of his daze and looked at Benny as he forced a smile, "Fate, huh? I'm not really sure."
'You are the first native of the Waking World to have ever stepped foot inside the Dreamworld. Similarly, I am the first native of the Dreamworld to have ever stepped foot inside the Waking World. freewe(b)novel
Sometimes fate can work in mysterious ways. Just like how it brought us two brothers together.' Benny replied sincerely, his words carrying a soothing effect that instantly calmed down Bryan's emotions.
Bryan looked into Benny's bright innocent eyes deeply and then gradually his lips curled up into a warm smile, "Perhaps… Us two brothers against the world, eh?"
Benny nodded his head vigorously, 'That's right! Us against the world! As long as we're together, we don't have to worry about a thing.'
Bryan began to chuckle as he stroked Benny's head gently. He then got up to his feet as he carried Benny in his arms and looked around,
"By the way, this place is called the Dreamworld? And what did you mean by me being the first person to ever step foot into this world?"
Benny climbed onto Bryan's shoulder as he took his usual seat. He then began to gracefully lick his paw as he replied,
'Natives of this world call it the motherland and call the place where you're from, the Waking World. As for the name, Dreamworld, I just randomly came up with it for your better understanding.'
"Dreamworld, huh?" Bryan mumbled as he continued to walk down the street, "What an interesting name!"
Benny then continued, 'As for you being the first native of the Waking World to ever step foot into this world, I meant it in the most literal way. You are the first human to physically enter this world and surprisingly, the motherland has recognized it.'
Bryan froze in his footsteps and mumbled, "Enter physically… What the fuck!?"
He then looked down to check his body and realized that he had indeed entered with his real physical body and not the spiritual body like he had done the previous times.
Bryan looked at Benny incredulously and asked, "How the hell did this happen!?"
Benny simply shrugged, 'It's a mystery to me. Perhaps Uncle Octopus can answer that question but he says it's not yet time for you to meet him.'
Bryan's eyebrows twitched as he replied, "Benny, you're talking in riddles again. Anyways, since you're a native of this place, care to show me around?"
He had completely thrown the matter of him entering the Dreamworld with his physical body to the back of his mind. After all, if he wanted to get out, he could just ask Benny to help him.
Benny jumped off Bryan's shoulder and excitedly ran forward, 'Yes! Follow me, I'll show you something very interesting!'
Bryan shook his head and smiled as he ran after Benny. While running, he looked around at the different buildings and houses on both sides of Robinson Street.
He realized that the objects and places in the Dreamworld were exactly the same as they were in the Waking World. All the buildings, houses, trees, roads, etc, were situated in the exact same place.
'It's like…the Dreamworld exists simultaneously with the Waking World but at the same time is also independent of it. Almost like a parallel world!' Bryan thought inwardly as he chased after Benny.
He saw Benny entering a two-storied house a couple of buildings away from his apartment on 7 Robinson Street.
Bryan entered the house after Benny and the duo went inside the first room on the ground floor. It looked as if it was someone's bedroom, however, there was no one inside the room. The bed was empty!
"Where's the person who's supposed to be here?" Bryan inquired as he looked at Benny who was now sitting on the bed looking at him with bright eyes.
'No human or creature from the Waking World is supposed to be here. You're the only exception.' Benny replied mentally, 'Perhaps, me too…I guess?'
"I see." Bryan nodded his head and then asked, "Then what are we doing here?"
Benny instructed with excitement, 'You'll know once you activate your spiritual sense!'
Bryan did as he was told and activated his spiritual sense. Everything in his vision was the same, except there was a small white glowing ball, the size of his head, hovering on the bed.
He pointed at the bed and exclaimed, "What's that!?"
'Let's find out!' Benny replied and then immediately jumped inside the white glowing ball, his body completely disappearing.
It was as if the white glowing ball was a portal that lead to another place!
Bryan's eyes widened and his jaw dropped, "What the fuck!?"
So many things happened today and Bryan kept thinking that nothing more shocking would happen. But he was proven wrong over and over again.
He clenched and unclenched his fists as he stood in front of the white glowing ball. After a few moments, he gritted his teeth and jumped in!
Bryan's vision changed as he felt a little groggy. The next moment, when he came to, he found himself standing inside a fancy restaurant on Laurent Avenue. The people were all dressed in lavish clothes as they ate sumptuous meals. fre(e)webnovel
Having no clue about what was going on, Bryan looked around in a daze. All of a sudden, Benny jumped onto Bryan's shoulder and sat down.
Bryan visibly sighed in relief after seeing Benny in this strange place. He then asked, "Benny, what's happening? Where are we?"
"We are inside a dream!" Benny replied excitedly.
"Dream!?" Bryan's eyes widened, "Whose dream?"
"The person whose room we just entered," Benny replied.
"You mean that white glowing ball that was floating on the bed was someone's dream!?" Bryan was dumbfounded.
'Yes!' Benny nodded. He then pointed at a blonde young girl who was dressed in an expensive white dress and was being attended to by five handsome young men, 'And that's the girl whose dream we are inside of.'
