I was just a normal person. Doing things what normal people do. I'm a student, with family and friends, and I go to school everyday on weekdays if there's class. That pretty much sums up my life. 

My look is mediocre. Not bad but not good either, or so I hope. I mean, just a little fixing to my face and many worships me as some God. I'm not boasting. In fact, I'm a shy person. I don't express emotions, but I know deep down that I love myself the most. 

I have this feeling of wanting to stand out, but I also don't want to. It all depends on my mood. Example; if I'm happy, then that's what I'm feeling. I don't know what to do. 

Anyways, as of now, I am having a dream where I'm having an audience with an old man that has a God like appearance. I'm standing on the clouds. 

"Greetings mortal, I'm god." He said. 

"Hello." I greeted him back lazily. To be honest, I'm kinda uninterested. I'm still sleepy even though I'm already sleeping. 

"Do you believe in God?" The one that proclaimed himself as God asked. 

"I need to. After all, I'm born in a family that believes."

"Well then, what if I tell you that I'll take you away from that family so that you won't need to force yourself to believe anymore?"

"Sure, I guess."

"Do you want to escape your mundane life?"

"Yes."

"Then, I have an offer."

"What?"

"I'll have you transferred to my world. A place that is fantasy. A fiction earth always wants to portray. What's more, I'll bestow you my power that brings everything you imagine to reality."

"... Cool, I guess."

"Haha! I like you. I don't like long talks, and you don't seem to like it too! Now, getting straight to the point, you'll be my successor. Before you go down there, I just want to say that you can rest assured and do whatever you want... In fact, it would be better if you destroy the world."

"I see... That's extra cool."

"Well then, good bye."

Suddenly, my vision was blocked by the darkness. 

++++

I opened my eyes. I can smell the nature's scent. I can hear birds chirping. I'm surrounded by large healthy trees. It seems like I'm laying down on bare grass. I feel dirty. 

"Hello." I greeted no one but the air. I then stood up. I looked around. I was alone. 

"Where am I?" I asked myself a generic question. Still, this seems like a dream, so I concluded it as a dream. Well, out of all places, why a forest? I wonder. What an uncreative mind. 

I explored the area for the meantime. There were some weird looking plants, but I didn't care. As I spotted a puddle, I used it as a mirror to look at myself. My appearance is still the same. 

To be honest, I'm kinda getting bored of how I look. I want to change. 

"Say, since this is my dream, I can at least change my appearance, can't I?" I said. 

I imagine myself looking like some K-pop actor my sister from the real world idolizes so much. 

In a blink of an eye, I became that actor, for real. 

"Woah." I was in awe. I examined the face that I borrowed, and he was indeed me now. 

Seeing that I could change my appearance however I wanted, I decided to play with it for a bit. Five minutes or so, I finally got tired and decided I'm satisfied. 

I now look like a typical manhwa main character. I have black coat and is tall, wearing a long black coat. I didn't really stray from my original appearance. After all, I still don't feel like losing my true self yet. 

Continuing my exploration while enjoying the fresh air that I hope is away from pollution, a strange moving plant blocked my way. It's a plant with a big mouth that's drooling and pointy teeth. It reminded me of that green plant that likes eating insects I always watch on shorts. Well, I really enjoy watching those videos.

"Hello." I said to the plant. 

The plant looks scary, I admit. And I have a feeling it's about to eat me. 

I don't like scary things. This is my dream so I can do whatever I want. 

To kill it, I imagined a typical gun I don't know the name. It's just... A gun. Yeah, I'm now holding a gun. 

I pointed it towards the plant. 

Then bang! It died. 

However, the loud noise seemed to have attracted many unwanted entities. I'm surrounded by more plants. However, I didn't panic nor did I give a damn. After all, this is a dream world. 

Seeing that I'm surrounded, I flew upwards to the sky. I stared at the vast forest. Flying feels so real I almost mistaken it that I'm awake. Still, this is just a dream. 

I then imagined a meteor, summoning a rather small one towards the forest. I summoned more, and more, and more. Just a few seconds later, there's no more forest to be seen. An empty barren land is left beneath me. 

"This is such a cool dream." I said. 

"Haha... Ahahahahahaha!! I am powerful!" I laughed. 

I was at my happiest time in my life.
