This wasn't a dream, she was really here and asking for my help.

I don't know how I'm supposed to help her yet but I'll know in time right?

"Okay, so how am I supposed to help you?" I questioned while putting my hand back by my side.

"Just take my hand and Kiko will take us." Said Nikki as she reached out to me.

I took her hand in hope that she'll open up my eyes to new things.

I don't know how well this will go and if I'll ever come back but it could be a good thing.

02: The Floating City

The moment I took her hand a circle had surrounded us and before I could blink, we were gone.

Taken to a place that was only ever real in stories. A place that I've read about for a long time.

The Floating City.

A city where God's were born, a city where famous heroes grew up.

The ones that killed dragons. That means that if this place exists, so do all those stories. None of it was made up.

"Welcome to my home Shiro." Said Nikki as she smiled.

"This place is real..." I replied while looking around.

"Of course but it's in danger." Said Nikki.

"What, in danger? How?" I questioned while looking at Nikki.

"This place is ruled by a Goddess who gives false hope to those who live here." Answered Nikki.

A goddess who gives false hope to those who live in a city like this? Now that's a little hard to believe but then again I thought this place didn't exist.

I was wrong about that so she's probably telling me the truth.

"But why would she give false hope and about what?" I questioned while confused.

"She rigged the system ages ago and became the queen and has been lying about the savior arriving." Responded Nikki.

"But I'm the savior right?" I asked while thinking.

"Yes, but not the one she wants you to be." Answered Nikki.

I don't think any of this makes sense but I agreed to help her so that's what I'm gonna do.

"Okay, so let's get to it. Show me or tell me what I need to do." I said with a serious tone.

"Follow me." Responded Nikki as she began to walk.

We walked for a few minutes before reaching her apartment. Apparently she had a secret place to show me.

I know it sounds bad from the way she worded it but I know it's probably something else.

"Shall I open up the room?" Questioned Kiko.

"Yes, he's gonna have to use it." Answered Nikki.

As I sat in a chair waiting, a random door had opened from the other side of the room.

"Go down there, I left a paper down there with instructions you'll have to follow." Said Nikki as she pointed towards the room.

"Aren't you coming with?" I questioned while getting up and walking towards the room.

"Not yet." Replied Nikki.

I went into the room and a staircase had followed not far after heading in.

So that must be what she was talking about. Instructions are down there for me to follow.

The door behind me closed and forced me to go down the steps.

After a few moments I had reached the bottom and looked around to realize it was almost like a dojo.

Guess I don't have time to sit around.

I picked up the paper and began to look down it.

Rules to follow:

1. Never trust the voice.

2. Never let it take over you.

3. Always control yourself.

4. Never read the book in the blue case.

Instructions:

1. Begin to learn the basics of martial arts.

2. Understand how your power works.

3. Learn to use it without losing control.

4. Finish this within two weeks.

All books will be labeled in Red.

------

So I have to learn martial arts and learn how to use some sort of power?

This doesn't make any sense to me.

A power? I don't think I have anything like that.

"You do, but it's far from good." Said a strange voice.

Ignore the voice. It's bad. Number one rule. Don't trust it.

This shouldn't be too bad but now I have to learn the way of martial arts...
