As Souzou ate another fruit, he pondered about where to go, he was standing close to one of the roots, examining it, while thinking.
Certainly, there was lots roots, but that all there is except some holes and small bumps, it was like a barren land minus the roots, it was vast like the first area.
Though, the place with lots of trees, also is a bit scary, he thought.
Souzou thought to himself "at least i can see better here, and no way am going into that forest, it way to nightmarish"
Souzou still was trying to think, which was more fun, both seemed boring as one was just a forest and another was just a baren land.
Souzou thought to himself "wait, the forest is more thrilling to go to though.. no, i cant let this turn nightmarish, also i could get lost".
But time was running out, so he need to go explore at least one of them before he wakes up, he thought.
He decided to go with the place with lots of roots...
Then he looked back at the sun, for a whole second, and turned around, excitedly.
Souzou resumed walking through the place with lots of roots.
Walking for a while, Souzou started eating fruits, he is still a bit weirded out by how he's hungry in a dream, but dreams could do that or comas, he thought.
Souzou this time, was very bored of just walking, so he started skipping, while eating.
As he skipped, he thought about those roots, were they a part of a vegetable, he ignored it. He was not able to know, and also mainly because he did not care much about it compared to exploring, but he still thought about them, after trying to ignore it.
Souzou skipped for a long while as his expectation and excitement were dwindling, it was getting intensely boring for him, nothing was much different aside from the fact, that the roots were different sizes, also the holes, and also the bumps...
Souzou voice sounded, singing a song of his own.
"yeah i don't know how to sing, but i know how to singgggg, but i guess not that i can not be able to sing, that i am NOTTT singing, these roots looks like roots and those ground looks like some, uhhhhhh".
Souzou stopped and said "man this sucks, why is it that this dream is so realistic".
He continued singing, but it felt weird, everything was going weird, he was confused if he should continue as normal, a lot of things just happens, but what can i do, he thought.
Souzou skipped as he sang, his fruits finally ran out, still in an empty land, with nothing that makes it stand out, but its roots, it was the same for his left, right, front, or even behind him at this point, he still kept skipping, he was already far away from the other place, Souzou sighed.
Time passed, as he sang, he was thinking about when he is gonna wake up, then suddenly, a sound was heard from afar, Souzou was listening, trying to hear it, it was running water, the sound Souzou heard was like water running, he got excited once again, tiredness got him, but still Souzou walked to it.
Immediately, Souzou started following the sound, looking for it.
As he was marching towards the sound, he almost fell, he was looking for any kind of hints to the sound. he felt very tired, but he ignored it, just moving to where the sound is.
After a bit of time, Souzou saw a river, a shallow river, Souzou was thrilled, finally something new happened, he walked to the river, it was kind of beautiful, it had pieces of different colored rocks at the bottom of it, varying from white, blue, black, and red, also the rocks were like beads more then random shapes.
It was quit majestic to look at, like a typical tourist spot.
Souzou walked to the river, and crouched down, he held up his hands in a cup shape. He scooped a handful of water from the river with his hands, he looked at it for a bit, thinking, then drank it, it was refreshing but tasted a bit salty and had a weird aftertaste in the end, still it was water, enough to enjoy it, after drinking more, he stopped himself, Souzou stood up with excitement, mentally nourished, Souzou was excited to explore more.
Souzou thought to himself "Finally, it was water this time, i was getting more thirstier then i thought, would i have died if i did not drink water in this dream?".
Souzou looked at it, the river was shallow, it was about his knee, but the water itself was about only half his knee, there was nothing in it, and it was not that transparent to see through.
But then Souzou thought to himself "When is this dream going to end?, am i really in a coma??, or did something happen when i sniffed those medications, this is so weird".
He stopped thinking, next to the river, Souzou looked at front, nothing, he turned around, there was nothing, apart from the river was different here, a river, was quit weird to see, but still it was beautiful to look at, he thought.
After a bit, he wanted to cross through the river, but stopped himself, because he thought it might be just more of nothing but roots, he was tired from all that walking, so he sat down near the river.
Souzou was sitting near the river, he relaxed and calmed down, listening to the sounds of nothing else but water running down, that placated him a little. it felt peaceful for him.
Souzou pondered about the river, he noticed something else, the temperature was getting hotter, then thought to himself "Did something happen to me???, seriously this dream is way to hardcore for me, is it the sun?", Souzou turned around to look at it.
Souzou said yelling "is there any reason for this useless dream!?!?, why is this dream like this, also please let me wake up???, HELLOOOOO????, ANYONE HEARING ME, WAKE ME UP PLEASE".
The shout of his, sounded over the area he was in, but nothing happened, then Souzou thought to himself "who cares, am sitting here till i wake up or even better swim in the river, wait should i?, did this dream implement germs just to make it more hardcore?".
Souzou was conflicted for a second, then thought to himself "but i did drink from it, so it not like am gonna get germs, i think, wait, why am i scared??, its germs in a dream", he continued "also it not like i got spare clothes to wear after swimming".
Souzou a bit doubtful, ignored his feelings and decided to not take a dip, he was sitting near the river, just looking at the river while in thought, his back was still getting burned.
Such a situation would call for a dip in a shallow river, that was not deep enough to begin with, but he stopped himself.
Souzou was getting bored, so he took out a rock from his pocket, and tried to skipping it through the river, it did not work that good, only skipping zero times.
Souzou, looked at the sky, staring, it was like normal, just thinking about stuff like games, and history.
Just sitting down on the soil, while wind kept repeatedly hitting his face, it was a bit fun though.
Souzou started thinking about why his mind imagined all of this, he thought to himself "i never had a lucid dream like this, the details are way to much, and everything seems so real, will i forget about it when i wake up?".
His eyes trailed off to his surroundings, wondering and thinking about things, it was all very weird, he thought.
Souzou thought to himself "so who is going to wake me up, never mind, am going to just enjoy this instead, yes this my holiday of some sort, please let me remember this..".
Then he said "Could there be anything interesting atleast, this is so boring, wait, the river is kinda beautiful though, i liked the rocks to".
After a while of nothing, Souzou was humming, searching for any entertainment.
His eyes then landed on the soil, the ones near the river, they were a bit more darker then the usual soil, he touched it, it felt smudgy, Souzou thought for a second and scooped a handful of soil, he started playing with the soil...
Then he stopped, he was getting bored, moving his arms along the soil, still he was humming, he thought about what to do, but all he could think of was checking out those roots or those rocks again, or the river rocks.
However, he was hungry, he had no fruits left, Souzou rose up to go back to the trees. Souzou as he rose up, felt something grim, something that made him recoil in disgust, he was sitting on soil, his pants sticked to the soil for a whole good second.
And due to sitting in the soil, that was brown, half of his pants was tinted with a brownish hue, Souzou looked at it for a second, then said "really, why is this even a thing?, i did not even think of that??!?, literally why???, what is all of this for??, oh well, who even cares, it not even real". Souzou sighed.
Souzou walked close to the river and tried to clean off whatever dirt was in his pants, then he washed his hands in the river.
He then looked at the sun, going back to where the fruits are, it was a easy way to track back, Souzou began walking towards the sun.
After a while, Souzou moved randomly to check out the roots, then going back towards the sun, it was not much of a adventure.
As Souzou hummed, moving calmly, thinking about things, still in the land with lots of roots, he saw something in the peripherals of his eyes, Souzou was intrigued so he turned his head left to see it.
To the left of Souzou, was a figure, far away from him, it was something weird and unusual in this place, it was moving.
Souzou was shocked looking at it, his first thoughts were "what is that?, am i having a nightmare or what?".
Souzou looked closely, squinting his eyes, he got a good look of it.
The figure had a light bronze and grey skin, with weird proportions, it erratic movement spoke no intelligence what so ever and it was quit a chilling scene to look at.
It was also creating sounds, weird ones, it was like a cry or even a scream, but the amount of sounds it created were all so horrifying, the sound of it moving, the sound of it breathing.
Souzou looked at it intensely, and then ran to the trees.
