Chapter 1 - A world in a mirror

Our story begins in Tokyo, where Yuri was working at a supermarket at night. It was a normal day like the previous ones, until a suspicious customer walked in.

He was wearing a dark blue coat, sunglasses, and a hat. He entered the store and started walking around a bit, while I watched him from my place, wondering who he was. Was he a writer or a celebrity?

After a few minutes, he came back with some snacks. He started paying for our orders, while I looked at him in confusion. After I finished, I said to him, "15,000 Korean won, please."I saw him pull money out of his wallet and his hands were shaking, I took the money and gave him back the change.

As the man was leaving the supermarket, he bumped into the door and a small mirror fell from his pocket. I noticed what happened and ran quickly to pick it up and give it back to him, but something unexpected happened. After I touched the mirror, I started to feel dizzy and an energy was pulling me towards it. At that moment, I realized that I was pulled into the mirror ، pulled to an unknown place that no one knew about.

I felt pain as I was being transported inside that mirror, and I said to myself in a tone full of resignation: "Is this the end? Will I die or will I be locked inside this thing forever… I still have a life to live, I still have dreams…"

I had a severe headache and was exhausted, but I could hardly move my eyelids. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a forest, surrounded by weeds and mud. I couldn't move or stay conscious for a long time, but I could hear someone's voice. He seemed panicked. He was saying in a low voice: "Madam!...Madam!...Are you okay??" The voice was unclear. I could move my eyes, but I couldn't see who the voice belonged to, as my vision was blurry.

At that moment the headache started to get worse and I started to feel dizzy again. I couldn't take it anymore, so I started to lose consciousness and faint from the severity of the pain.
