King_Kai_2628

Kai was a 17-year-old dropout. A NEET. A background character in real life with nothing to his name but bitterness, novels, and guilt. After his parents died, he gave up on the world. People were fake. Dreams were pointless. And that one novel he kept reading? He hated it especially the main character, June. Perfect, noble, always standing tall. Everything Kai wasn’t.

Then, one night, a voice asked: "What if you did meet June?"

He said yes, half-asleep and half-mocking.

Now he’s trapped in the novel. Isikeid. But he’s not June. He’s not a hero. He’s not even in the main cast.

He’s an extra in the background of a world he knows too well and he’s had enough of watching things play out the same way. This time, he’s going to change everything. Whether the world likes it or not.

At first, it felt like progress. The meadow's winding paths, the strange shifts in the flowers, the faint shimmering of magic in the air it all gave the illusion that they were moving forward, crossing distance, advancing through the Prism's layers.

But after what felt like hours no, maybe more, maybe an entire day the realization set in.

They weren't just walking forward.

The Prism was pulling them forward.

Time was strange here. There was no sun, no moon, no rising or falling light. The sky remained that same endless pale colour the flowers beneath their feet kept bending, parting just enough to allow passage but the landscape never quite changed.

"Do you feel that?" Kathlyn asked softly, after what might've been their twentieth silent hour.
