/POP Sana/
Sana feels his head ache and then he collapses on the ground while talking with his mother..
In an illusion of his dream, the space of the universe is so beautiful in an uncanny way, having a lot of weird things, weird worlds had been crossing and combining with each other and then there is a girl in this unknown universe in his sweet illusion of a gamer boy addiction dream.
Luna is on her way to the Ascension Network, to make her dream come true, to create a perfect world, where there are no lies, no betrayal, no evil of humanity. But on that journey, her emotions have nothing left... Maybe she can do something or maybe it's just an endless meaningless existence.
....
Sana found himself in a weird dream, this is the memory of his own illusion.
A young man looks very happy in this cursed world while on his way to an old place.
That place is where Luna lived in her childhood with her sister, Lucia. He wears unfamiliar clothes, he struggles and shivers because of the cold weather, his breath is heavy and a lot of white smoke comes out. His face is a little red.
Sana can't control these memories, like he had been forced to roleplay this young man. His mind is unclear but this makes him feel familiar somehow. A feeling of déjà vu somehow.
[Luna, Lucia? I'm in a PGR world?, but is this just a joke someone did to me again? this is not real, just a dream right?]
The young man smiles as he looks around. "I hope I can meet her. After all, she is Luna."
[Yes, in the old times I had simp for that character so much because she is cool, evil and her childhood is just like mine, she can see the real world of humanity, this is why she was my favorite character in the past]
Suddenly, a Corrupted comes toward the young man. It gives a bad feeling to Sana because it's more terrifying than anything he has ever seen or faced in his real life. This dream is so real for him. But what about Alice, his mother... no, Alice still exists in this dream too, Sana is more worried about Alice than being entertained in this game world.
[Oh shit this thing looks more creepy than I had imagined, I hope Alice will not come into this dream]
The young man looks scared and screams "Arrr, Arr,..". His body trembles in fear when he is noticed by the Corrupted. He just runs, and runs, he tries as hard as he could to run.
Sana feels terrified because of this feeling, his life is in danger now, but he still worries for Alice.
But the Corrupted does not give him a chance to escape. It moves so fast that the young man doesn't even see it move, and his body feels warm with blood as he lies on the cold snow.
[Oh shit so this is the feeling when you die, oh the fire burning in your stomach while lying on the snow is crazier than I ever thought, this world is way worse than my old world. How long must I bear this shit, I want to wake up from this nightmare. This is not a sweet dream anymore]
Before he dies, a big smile appears on his face. "At least I can see the place where she belonged, her childhood… Luna."
[Stupid ass, pathetic, this guy is really me in the past, I feel so shameless about myself. Maybe he had read too many novels about saving the villain noble girl]
Then he starts to scream as the pain of the Punishing Virus begins to attack his body "Arrrr. Fuckkkiiii,.." His eyes cry. He feels so much pain that he can't even speak.
[So my life will end here? What a stupid dream… but why is it still so painful?, This is truly a nightmare. This is the feeling when you die in a cruel way. I know in the past I had thought death was freedom, to free myself from this shit, maybe death was always the only good thing in my life. I don't like the idea of becoming a regressor]
His body starts to deform into something unknown while his mind starts to shatter.
[Kill, kill, kill everything… What is wrong with me… kill, kill, kill…] Sana's mind becomes a mess like his thoughts had shattered apart..
"You already belong here" [No this is not real right?]
"Alice is your illusion, this is the real world you are living in, accept it" [NO.., NO WAY,.. YES THIS IS THE TRUE WORLD AFTER I... ALL OF THESE MEMORIES ARE JUST LIES,... DIE DIE, DIE, KILL THEM ALLLLL... ARRRR]
He starts to hear more strange voices in his mind. And then, in the end, he talks to himself, "Who am I? Why am I here?" And then slowly, his mind comes to... An unknown Ascension Network.
"Where am I?" he looks around in shock.
[...ARRrr]
A dark world like the universe, with some red glowing lights in hidden places. Suddenly, Sana can feel something watching him from afar, but he doesn't know what it is. His mind stabilizes. When he looks at his hand, there is a name — Luna.
But in reality Sana's mind now is ... [.... Alice, where're you...]
He giggles in a crazy way, "So I really came to this world to save her." Suddenly, he meets Luna, but he knows that is not the real Luna. It is a higher authority trying to make him submit.
Sana asks curiously, "How can I become Corrupted, after all I'm just a human being?"
[Just die and wake up from this shit please, how can I still smile like that after this shit near-death experience?]
Luna says, "DIE..." and then she attacks Sana.
[Yes, just kill me please Luna lord, sorry I won't live in this world, Alice is more important than anything else]
Sana is depressed, "I'm going to die again? But why the heck is Luna the original Alice… I can't believe it?"
[????? What the fuck, who is this version of myself, I have a bad feeling about this, wait what the fuck is he talking about Alice]
Sana smiles, "Yes, my love, I'll submit to you."
Sana holds a sword in his hand and starts to attack Luna.
[What the fuck, this is fantastic, how do I even know how to use a sword, this is not a simple dream but who is this Sana really?]
Another reality
Luna looks at the young man who has died in front of her childhood home. Luna is emotionless. She doesn't want to see such an ugly dead body in this place, so she just wants to turn it into dust by using her virus. But then, for some reason, the young man is still alive even after a lot of virus has entered his body.
For the first time, Luna shows an interested expression. "This is weird… he is special."
Luna uses her power to bring that young man into a Punishing storage facility underground beneath the house.
Meanwhile Sana has goosebumps from some unknown feeling about what the next thing that will happen will be.
