After Allon Noah finished writing, he carried the book and gently put it back to where it was.
He then finished his cleaning, starting from the furniture to the plates in the kitchen.
When he was done, it was already night, so he decided to take a nap.
Around midnight, Allon opened his eyes and gave out a big yawn.
As soon as he wanted to stand up on his feet, he felt a throbbing pain in his head.
Painful!
How painful!
My head hurts so much, what happened?
The sound sleeping Allon Noah felt an abnormal pain through his head as if somebody had ruthlessly lashed his head with an iron pole again and again.
Allon Noah attempted to sit upright so that he could understand what was happening; however, he wasn't able to move his limbs due to intense pain.
A dream, that's what I would have instantly thought If I wasn't feeling the pain from my muscles too. Or perhaps I'm still asleep and am only having a small sleep paralysis.
Allon Noah, who was not unfamiliar with similar problems, tried his best to stay focused so that he would escape his present unfortunate circumstance.
He found his thoughts difficult to control and introspect. No matter how much he tried, he still lost his focus as random thoughts surfaced in his mind
Why would I suddenly have such a strong headache in the middle of the night, and the pain in my body is no joke either. The doctor at the hospital didn't say anything about my cancer giving me pain and difficulty to move.
I have to relax!
This is just one of my many sleep paralysis!
I have to get up now don't tell me I'm going to die now, I'm too young to die!
Eh? It doesn't hurt anymore, I guess it was just a sleep paralysis after all!
As he tried to sit up on the bed but it was as if a knife was stabbed into his brain.
Hmmmm, don't scream!
It's night, don't scream!
Yeah, it will go away!
His body was etched in sweat, it was as if he was fighting a silent war with his own body.
From the looks of it, I wouldn't be able to get a good night sleep anymore.
But the pain wasn't the only thing that was weird, when he tilted to look around he could not believe his eyes, , silver door, silver blinds even the table on his left hand side was silver.
To the left of the silver table was a well ironed black suit, a stop watch and the mysterious white book, neatly arranged on the table.
The window blinds illuminated the lights if the bright moon inside the house.
A suit? A stopwatch and the mysterious white book Allon Noah was completely taken aback. The things laid before him were alien to him except the white book, everything else look strange. It looked nothing like his room!
This..
Allon Noah finally stood up on his feet.
The neatly arranged room was too small, it's as if it was meant for one person.
Only one door out!
I hope it's not locked!
But where I'm I?
It's as if his thoughts where playing tricks on him.
Being very weak, he nearly fell down but managed to extend his hands in a fluster to hold onto the edge of the table. He felt that the surrounding air was turbulent as though there were faint murmurings resounding in it. The feeling was akin to hearing horror stories being recounted by his grandparents when he was young.
Finally He stretched his hand to open the mysterious white book expecting to see his handwriting on the first page.
But to his suprise, it's as if the book or someone was writing him a reply " your wish has been granted."
" New wishes will be granted after 100 years."
A book that can grant wishes? That's just hilarious.
And after a 100 years wouldn't I die by then? By that time I will be 135 If I where to be alive!
But, You have to be kidding me, it's this real?
He swallowed a gulp of saliva in anticipation.
Allon Noah had grown up reading web novels and had often fantasized over such scenes. However, he momentarily found it hard to accept the situation when he found himself in one.
Calm down, calm down, calm down... After taking a few deep breaths, Allon Noah worked hard to stop panicking.
Allon was from a poor family from birth, his father and mother where chefs and they had a restaurant where they cook everyday across the street. They enjoyed their business without complaints about unfairness in the society.
But ten years ago, they where both murdered by criminals. The cops abandoned the case as they had no leads on who did.
But if this was real, if what he had written on that book came to pass, wouldn't that mean that he would have financial freedom untill his death.
Even if I where to die two years later... It will still be worth it, because I finally got to be rich!.
He thought in excitement, the frightening atmosphere changed quickly as he lets out a laugh.
"But I still have questions? What is this place?"
Suddenly, a feminine voice responded to his question.
< Answer: You're at the castle of the beyond>
Whoa!!
What was that?
The voice responded again.
< Answer: I'm the wise one tasked with answering questions and managing all your skills >
Huh... The responses are much more smoother now. Not that it's important
"How convineint, so I'm thinking you are the one that caused my body to fumble just now?"
Allon felt relaxed, he controlled his expression and feelings.
< Answer: I was just erasing the dangers in your body, you're perfectly healed >
Allon Noah widdend his eyes in disbelief.
Does that mean my cancer is no more?
"That doesn't make sense, you can do that?"
< Answer: No it won't have been possible without the skill [ Time merchant ]
I wished for four thing's meaning I have four skills, damn it. Have just wasted four opportunities with fantasies, but this isn't bad at all.
" So can I leave this castle of the beyond?"
< Answer: Yes you just have to open the door to the exit and you will appear in the real world >
"Is It possible to return back to this place?"
< Answer: Yes all you have to do is imagine the castle and I will active a door that will lead you to this place at anytime, anywhere>
He carried the pocket watch, and the black suit and made his way to the door. Before he opened it, he thought that nothing will shock him anymore but he was shocked once more.
Everything from the stairs to the chairs to the doors on each circular corner of the castle was painted in silver colour.
There was a stair case that leaded to the upper part of the castle it was a good place for organisation to stay.
I guess it wasn't called a castle for nothing!
" Where's this castle located anyway, is it in the forest or....?
< Answer: The castle temporary resides on the moon for more secrecy >
" The moooon? What happened to forest, or anywhere else but the moon"
< Answer : If you're not satisfied with it's location, you can shrink it can take it around with you >
" I hope I'm going to appear in my room when I open that door."
< Answer: Yes >
" Why do you keep saying answer can you not talk normal?"
< Answer: NEGATIVE>
Scared, Allon walked quietly to the door to the exit on his left.
As he opened the door he was back to his bedroom on earth.
A smile lit up his face as he walked into his room.
I think I'm going to start a business!
