JANVI – REAL WORLD

Midnight.

Janvi sat at her desk, books open, eyes tired.

She rubbed her forehead.

"Why is this topic taking so long to understand…"

"Tomorrow is the class test…"

Stress crept in.

She closed her book and stood up.

"Ahh…"

Janvi walked to her bed and lay down.

Her eyes slowly closed.

JANVI – UNKNOWN PLACE

She woke up suddenly.

Soft sheets.

High ceiling.

…What?

A blue light flashed in front of her eyes.

Her breathing stopped.

"What the hell is this…?"

"It feels like a game…"

"But how can this be real?"

Fear crawled up her spine.

"I know I haven't slept properly for days…"

"But this… this can't happen."

The system disappeared.

Janvi slowly stood up, legs shaking.

She looked around the royal room.

Golden walls.

Ancient lamps.

"…This isn't normal."

She walked out of the room.

DAMINI – REAL WORLD

Late night.

Damini lay on her bed, scrolling Instagram.

She sighed.

"Ugh… these trends are boring."

"Tomorrow's class test though…"

She locked her phone.

"I prepared… but still feels stressful."

She turned to her side.

Darkness.

She screamed.

Her chest felt tight.

After a few seconds, she forced herself to breathe.

"…Calm down. Calm down."

The system vanished.

She wiped her face.

"That was scary…"

"It's just a dream."

"I have a class test today… I should study."

She got off the bed and walked outside.

Then

She froze.

"…Huh?"

"What was that…?"

"Oh shit—today's class test."

She looked around the room.

Ancient. Strange.

She ignored the feeling and stepped outside.

They walk towards that eco sound suddenly they hear a sound like thunder from sky but they ignore it and walk towards sound .
