The city of Zenith, second prince mansion.
Night illuminated the sky. Sound of water flowed from the top of the waterfall. Insects were emitting sounds while chirping melody fills the air. One could stay and relax with this serene like atmosphere.
Inside a small hut near the waterfall, there was a young man who was sleeping peacefully in his bed.
"What a relaxing sound. I feel like I could stay and enjoy this forever." Hayden slowly opened his eyes as he was trying to get up. He took his time and stared at the small yet clean room.
"Strange. Where am I? Am I dreaming?" Hayden was a bit confused as he stared at the interior of the room. The furniture looked ancient and one can tell that all these kinds of items were quite rare on earth.

Hayden started pinching his cheeks, hoping that this was a dream. "Ouch, damn this is not a dream. What happened to me? Why am I here?" He started thinking, one can see that a hint of frustration appeared on his face.
"I remembered that I got in an accident before and I nearly died. I was supposed to be inside of a hospital if I survived. However, what is this place?" Hayden stared dumbfoundedly.
Silence enveloped the room. After some time, Hayden thought that something was quite strange. He felt like he was inside of many typical fantasy games that he had usually played before. Well, thinking was useless so he decided to wake up and search the surroundings items, hoping that he could find some clues.
Hayden went to the table where many kinds of books and documents were being kept. He opened the books one after another, trying to read over them in hopes of getting more information. "These writings..." Hayden was startled, he thought he never saw this kind of writings even on earth before, but something strange happened afterward.
"This writing is abnormally complicated, but I wonder why I feel like I can understand it." Hayden was lost in thought. Many strange things had happened, yet somehow he couldn't decipher and comprehend the meaning or the cause behind all of this. Well he thought that it was a pity, but since nothing bad happened to him, he started to forget it and think that maybe sooner or later he will know the truth. But of course, not anytime sooner.
"The only thing written in this book is only a piece of information about one kingdom, the kingdom of Zenith, and it says here that the owner of this book is the second prince of Zenith. Interesting, maybe I will meet him soon." Hayden smiled thinly.

As Hayden was starting to get interested in some books, he noticed that there was a big square, yet old looking mirror in front of his face. At first, he didn't pay attention nor care about it. However, after some time, Hayden realized that there was something odd. He closed the book and began to inspect the mirror.
"What the hell!!!" Shouted Hayden astonishedly.
